  • Lathes are serious machines. They require serious caution!

    At my previous job, there was a very lucky apprentice; he was working on “the small lathe”; the sleeve on his overalls caught on the work piece. His arm was pulled into the machine the overall sleeve tore as it was being pulled in. He got very nasty friction burns all up the under side of his arm; if the sleeve didn’t tear, at minimum he would have lost the arm…the lathe didn’t stop spinning during the event. He panicked (understandably) and didn’t think to hit the e-stop.

    Table saws and lathes…don’t fuck around with them. Powerful tools require serious caution; but they are also very useful when used correctly.











  • It is a difficult position to be in.

    So the crazy makes a plan with a local franchise owner. Tells corporate he has already said yes. Even though they likely don’t want anything to do with it, as it is a no win situation for them, they are fucked either way.

    They have the shit job of saying no one of the most petty people in the world; who may be the next president. He could tell his cult to avoid McD’s because they snubbed him etc…so now it is either piss off the MAGA crowd, quite possibly their biggest market, or piss off the dems…

    McD’s is not great food, but it isn’t terrible either. I don’t envy the higher ups having to make this situation palatable.

    Their statement is pretty good though.

    we open our doors to everyone

    This is basically saying even though he is a criminal, we would still give him a chance. That is a dem dog-whistle if ever I saw one.
