      If you’re going to stick around I’d recommend getting less salt in your diet. Second hand exposure to a machinist is enough salt to shut your kidneys down four times over.

        Are there’s still manual production runs in the first world? The one machinist I know IRL does manual stuff now, but it’s all bespoke, and his colleagues sound like they might not have heard of CNC.
