Frank, it was Penn and Teller


Don't know if it was included in any of the posts here, but one of my favorite items is:

"Delivered by a hidden underground network of conduits to every chemical and biological weapons lab in the country."
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

The Coronavirus finally got around to me. I don’t have it, but I just got furloughed for 2 months from work because of it.

CNC machinist. Medical products. Elective surgery medical products.  Elective surgery is off the menu right now.

I know quite a few medical personnel.  They are at half pay, benefits cut off, etc. because of the chinese communist bioweapon.

Yes.  I do think it was intentional planning....they may have released it a bit early or it mutated in ways they did not anticipate.  At first it was killing only ethnic minorities in China then it reached out and grabbed them all....
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.

BAC, It doesn't matter whether it's medical devices, nuke components, or machining assholes in animal crackers.
Parts is parts.    ;D
I've never milled assholes in crackers, done the rest though.

I know. I’ve done some aerospace, defense, and tool and die stuff. I even helped make some components that went into a rail gun, but medical is where I live. Sucks being furloughed, but now I’ll have time to finish some projects and go out and take photos.

P.S.  I believe animal cracker assholes are made by plunge EDM.

You might want to look around at the aerospace machining market. Or any other machining market, such as automotive. As Tom said, parts is parts. And it all pays. It's better than taking 2 months off.

Yeah, lots of bone docs doing nothing right now.  Sadly, the misses is not one of them. She is working her normal shifts, which are thankfull back on days now.  That being said, its almost impossible  to see her at work now.

The entire thing is over blown.  I bet on nov 4th it will all change.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Just filed for unemployment.  Had hoped I'd never have to do that again.  At least I got in on the last week and a half of the extra $600 weekly corona money.
