Well, yeah you need people to run em, maintain them and you need the space. Thing is - most people wouldn't be looking for an older machine specifically when needing to buy something. Those machines stay in machine shops and crank out parts since forever.

Like, a neighbor of mine has three older lathes, one cnc, one larger, one smaller. He had to redo the wiring from scratch on one of them because it was so old the isolation from the wires fell off and it was just copper left hanging in the control box. No company would buy that stuff.

"Ancient" lathes, milling machines work fine. You don't need the newest control software when the old one does the job. And good luck convincing someone to buy a $100k machine just because it is new.

There was a story about that sometime ago. Tech startup that made prototypes, someone used them with great success, but the company failed and now they need to take it out.

2% yearly reductions most likely. Some shitty companies fire a small percent of their staff and hire new people - especially when someone has been there long and isn't irreplaceable.

Call to emotion, nothing else. Women and children "sounds" worse than "people" dying.

Wait, 0.3mm is huge, you should be able to see that. I don't think this is right.

Especially because IIRC he lost a bunch of weight since and looks better

How do you know it's funny when there isn't a comment that says so?
