Yeah, let's say those costs are $200 an hour and it takes 10 minutes...

Why does a round of x-rays cost $400?

Because fuck you, that's why.


Edit: not you specifically. Unless you're getting x-rays.

I believe ''fuck youu that's why'' is the sign above the door leading to where we get hooked up to the simulation. It's the last text we read with our real optical input organs

X-ray machines can cost up to $200,000, depending on features, etc. No idea what your Mori costs. You probably should be charging more.

I can’t wait until my iPhone and A.I. can fully diagnose and prescribe medicines (hopefully narcotic) for my conditions……

Necrotic medication is the best

What are the absolute best tweezers for removing difficult splinters?

Forget tweezers get one of those fancy Laser pistols like Chip has

Most of the machines in the shop sold new for between 200k and 600k.

For example the early 2000s Makino SNC64 graphite Mill that I cut scales on


cost somebody a little north of 500K. The Mori Seiki NH5000 horizontal that I bevel on was similar. The GV503 I'm trimming the swords out on was around 350.

One of my favorite machines here is the Mori NV5000. Those really weren't so bad, that's just x-ray machine money.

We have 10 CNC machining centers here, and 4 three axis automatic grinders.

And 3 (running) Fords!

As my accountant likes to explain to me "Mr Carothers, this is why you're poor"

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

If I'm being honest. The number of running Fords varies a lot. And, one of them actually isn't actually here it's at the shop. Has been for months

It does run though! Or so I'm told.

He only calls you mister because you pay him

Because of the Fords?

The amount of money I spend every year to determine how much I owe the government is similar to the amount that I owe the government.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Yes

You don't have to make it weird.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Yes

You don't have to make it weird.

It’s more fun that way though, right?

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

It's wierd all by itself
