we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

tbf, they know what "works" for them. it's tool that does a job, as long as it does the job and they know how to work with it, they don't want to change it.

also, would you want to use an IOT machining tool? it's not like 3D printing. if it's not broken don't fix it

also it's 2022, if you need a new part for your old computer poo poo it costs pennies for a replacement, rather than upgrading and the people using it know how it works more than any service tech

eh i mean it's a mixed bag. no i would not want to use an iot machining tool. but we don't have to bring the technology up to 2021 hell world. you could just stick an ethernet port in there though, or a usb port to plug in a flash drive. good 20-30 year old technology instead of 50. that would be plenty.

and in fact, one of our more recent mills (2005) does have the option for both USB and ethernet! neither option is installed, because they were like an extra 5 grand each or something lol. also the usb one just emulates a floppy drive, so it can't load files larger than 1.44mb. but that is ultimately fine because the machine also only has 1mb of internal memory.

so are you just hosed if you have a complicated file to machine and it makes more than 1 mb of code? no, because you can drip-feed the code to it over RS-232 with XMODEM. so that's what we do. 20 foot serial cable, to an old dell that still has a hardware serial port, and i am eternally grateful to the developers of Tera Term for making a product that runs on Windows 10 and still supports drag-and-drop XMODEM file transfers. works great

Kenny what the hell does "a slice of the bottom cut off to the middle" mean in jar terms? When I think jar+slice of the bottom cut off I think of something very different than what you're talking about unfortunately.
ok assume the 2" tall 5" diameter cylinder. hold knife at 1" on the side. angle knife to hit the center point of the bottom of the cylinder. remove that

yeah that poo poo sucks. getting "not a good time for me to be dating" and then two weeks later see them eating someone else's face outside the place we were going to go on our next date, just real good feels in that scenario.

that's awful, sorry friend

just feeling really spent these days, like I've lost the potential of any happy future with someone. nothing I do matters to anyone and I have no positive effect on anyone's life that couldn't be filled by someone else

Once I got dumped bc her therapist told her she shouldn't be dating anyone. Three days later I registered for OKCupid and she was my very first match, so I immediately closed my account.

That's literally my only online dating experience.
