Well, I was issued a Windows 10 based laptop at work for new safety the problem is I hate typing on touch screens larger than my phone. The keyboard they have me is a cheap chiclet style low profile rubber don't that feels like garbage. So, I built a small work station on the inside of the door for my tools box. Using a JD40 and a GH36. The GH36 has mouse controls so no mouse needed.

Is there an IP requirement for that machine? Looks dusty.

That tool box has been inside the plant for at least 15 year, and I work in a foundry.

Do you guys get to take home free roll of steel?

If so, can Tp4 haz some? Homedepot prices are ridiculous.

Melvang, Tp4 has responded to your mouse macro question, sorry we didn't see it for 2 weeks. Tp4 only provides guaranteed doomsday scenario service and planning in OT.

Spotted an SR71-Blackbird flying above my neighborhood. I'm about 96% sure that's what it was, they are huge and they have an extremely distinctive shape that looks like no other plane on the planet. But I was under the impression they were all decommissioned. Maybe it was doing a fly over for some event going on near by? Or Lockheed is testing an unmanned flight over the area?
And just like always I got caught up in the moment and forgot to pull out my phone for a video  :blank:

I wonder that it might have been a B-1 with its wings folded back.

The SR-71 is indeed like no other, but it is an antiquated design (and less than half the length of a 747).

And yes, NZ may be the best option.
“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

Sorry, I work in the John Deere foundry, so only cast iron parts.  No sheets or rolls of steel that aren't getting shredded.

Wow! That's some cyberpunk **** right there! All you need is to add an oscilloscope and a row of CD drives under the monitor housing.

Despite what the masses (and some ignorant doctors) say, those seat pads and donut cushions are worse for your butthole than not using one. It funnels excess pressure to that spot, making piles way worse. Take herbs instead.

I don't do any electrical work, only mechanical.
