It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I'm also going to pull my manufacturing card and second @[email protected]. Not only is this shit that you work out when you're setting up the production line, this is stuff that I would expect from a manufacturing product that has been running for a few years and isn't subjected to as much scrutiny in Quality Control because the defect and liability statistics for it are well known and within parameters, therefore it is more cost effective to just deal with problems as they crop up on the consumer end.

This coming out of a new product, fresh off the line with new processes, is a sign of a complete lack of quality control. That said, there is absolutely no way that they are ever going to make this SolidWorks abomination look good at-scale. You just can't guarantee that level of precision to make those block structures look clean (not that Tesla has good QC for their paneling on their rounded edges and doors anyways). It continues to boggle my mind that any engineer actually signed off on this. I mean, I guess I can see it from a sufficiently bazinga-ed mechanical engineer, but they must not have consulted with a single manufacturing engineer before designing this thing. I would absolutely hate to be on the line in any capacity for this project.

It's easy, the engineer wanted to not have to start looking for another job.
