Every time I drop something down it, I try to peer in there while I'm fishing around, and I start to reach for the light switch by the sink.
The light switch by the sink turns on the disposal. This is the most common way disposal on-switches are set up, in my experience. The way where someone who needs light cuts their fingers off.
garbage disposals are so scary. ive never heard of them being used positively. do americans really just install Final Destination Contraptions in their kitchens???

I love lathe work. I grind these funny tools that my coworkers think won't work. But they always make sense for my application.
The latest is a "heavy" style tool for aluminum. Slightly negative backrake, normal side rake, tip radiused only 40 thou or so. No secondary angles for chip thinning, or shear plane alteration, etc.

Just a slightly sharp brick of steel with the right clearance angles and a chipbreaker. It's perfect for the slow, torque-y lathe I'm running, as quick to touch up as it would be to switch inserts, and most importantly, it makes cooler chips than other tools would.
Check these things out:

Chips with the tool fed straight on. I increased my feed til I got perfect c's and 6's, and backed off just a bit. This is what chips look like when all the forces are straight towards the chuck, and kept in an equilibrium that doesn't quite break the chip.
When i needed to turn some shoulders, I rotated the toolholder a couple degrees. I could feed a little harder before breaking the chip, and there was now some directionality to the chip formation. That means I could make these tightly coiled lil snail guys.

These aren't the most perfectly efficient chips that could be made. There's plenty of problems with this method of doing things, in a general sense. But in this specific case, there is no difference, so I will be silly with it.
My only regret is that I haven't figured out anything artsy I can do with these chips yet. If i can't figure something out soon, they'll get recycled.

Using a teach pendant to program this KUKA 6-axis robotic arm to fuck you with a vaguely dildo shaped end effector I got straight from McMaster-Carr. The jog speed is pretty slow though, so the process is taking forever and really isn't enjoyable at all. I accidentally hit the wrong button when the end effector is finally inside you; the robot contorts in machine rapid from the horrendous potion I put it in using global coordinates back to home, taking you with it. The injuries are deep but would've been survivable if the emergency phones called an ambulance and not the plant nurse

Humbert Humbert is hilariously conceited and bad at lying. This is an essential component of Lolita. He constantly lies about how attractive and sophisticated and darkly genius he is. For this reason, I firmly believe the only actor who could truly capture his essence is Tim Heidecker.

This is giving me Poe's corollary artery disease. I am experiencing spiritual atherosclerosis. If someone says something vaguely jungian and implicitly racist I am within a heads-pace of reli(e)ving my entire internet childhood.
I mean this is maybe truer than they know, and definitely truer than most people would believe.
People talk about gifted 5th grade classes like it was a government supersoldier program

I run a wire edm at a prototyping facility that also gives tours to engineers a lot. They're always so disappointed when i explain that I can't make one part into two parts that magically fit together.
Man, if you can't afford two parts you can't afford me drilling a hole. You definitely can't afford me EDM'ing square holes (that could just as easily be round).
"Zero tolerance machining" NO!!!!! I am going to kill you. This doesn't exist. It's a stupid phrase. For advertising or whatever. If you genuinely think you've achieved "Zero tolerance" you have a #metrology #skillissue. I'm going to kill you. What's next, huh? When your machines advance even more? Negative tolerance? Short-sighted marketing. Just say the tolerance, that should be impressive enough. Regular people think "5 thou" is crazy, you will be ok. You don't need to lie about the world.

Fuuuuuuuck.

Oops. My hands slipped and now my toolbox is lavender :3

Debating whether to polish up the handles or paint them too. The top I'm thinking of replacing with something nicer. And I got a ton of stickers and magnets to slap on it after a lil clearcoat. Oh and I'm gonna paint an Ace flag on one of the sides! :3
