Maybe for the generic cat/dog image sharing boards but niche topics like machining are still thriving.

Is it surprising that a publicly traded company is going to drive down quality to meet (or in spirit areospace’s case - attempt to make) profits?

The union also has clashed with Spirit over whether machinists should ever be responsible for checking their own work. Workers say having separate inspectors sign off on individual work is critical for quality control; Spirit and Boeing executives say that technological advances have reduced the need for separate inspectors in some cases.

Bad bad idea. Do not let machinists sign off on a inspection report. The incentive to hide mistakes is far too great.

I haven’t watched one of these in years now.

Which runs/races are y’all looking forward to?

Wtf happened to Martha Stewart? That is her in the middle?

I wish the article gave better explanation to how hard it is rather than just stating that it’s not brittle… Could revolutionize the cutting tools industry if it’s harder than cubicBoronNitride (CBN).
