The option these days for Vets is sell to PE, shut down, or try to find a younger DVM who wants to take over the practice and work in for a couple of years. But the younger DVMs have debt to pay and need to take the PE job. There's little love for the PE route but it gives an exit to older vets I suppose. I doubt many like watching their life's work being hollowed out and worn as a skin suit.
It's worth noting that both TapChanger and StealthChanger both require a flying gantry and won't work on a Trident style machine (and thus aren't suitable to a lot of CoreXY type machines).
Yes but. It turns out that PV solar wins on maintenance by a lot; since you don't have to run hot water pipes and keep the solar heater from leaking. With a reasonable system design you can pretty much just connect the wires to your heater element.
It's identical in design to any number for Makita, Dewalt, or other nicer brands (1k$ from Festool). The point was that it's not a 15K$ tool. It's a 200$ tool for a Dewalt. SMH my head. Yes of course you could buy a bench mount industrial one or something for lots of money.
The design is the same, but are the materials, manufacturing tolerances, and QA the same? That cheaper model is cheaper for a reason. While you're right that most people won't need the $15,000 industrial biscuit cutter, I'd hesitate to use the cheapest model on the shelf.
I'm willing to bet that people feeling like they're on the precipice of a civilization ending event and the massive uptick in authoritarian rhetoric and action probably had something to do with that.
I suppose, but that's kind of sloppy thinking. After a "a civilization ending event" cash will only remain useful for a little while, until the survivors realize civilization's ended.
I'm reminded of that scene from The Road where they walk over a pile of cash and jewelry like it was nothing: https://youtu.be/WEP25kPtQCQ?t=118.
Well by all accounts (of people that seem competent on the internet...) the source is just fine as it's own beacon. Even detectable by a low flying helicopter with the right equipment.
Well, by the account of the article you are responding to the source has been lost.
Not very useful beacon if you don't detect when you lost it or you need to put an enormous search party to find it.
We have GPS devices with satellite comms that can periodically transmit information about where they are that anybody who plans to trek in the wilderness can buy and use to start a SAR operation.
