at this rate youd be complaining about "science" in a thread about carpentry. heres a free tip, just start saying "techne" instead

i remember when i used to cling to the idea of science being a pure, almost utopian field divorced from economic or political context

it can if you're making a mold that just presses into sand or something. i don't know if it can do any like lost-wax casting

for lost-wax you could just use the plastic as a master mould

Several tons of molten metal are transferred from a ladle into a pressure pour unit using a converter truck, that metal is then poured into a moving line of molds; which, are created with a costumer specified pattern, silica sand, and immense pressure. Often times cores, which are simply bits of compressed sand, will be placed into the open molds to create negative spaces within the casting.

Once the molten metal transfers from the pressure pour into the mold, its cooled for approximately one hour as it continues along the line. The gating, which is produced by channels between the parts in the mold, is then removed using a specialized crane, and the parts then head off for inspection and cleaning before being shipped to the customer.

Then the various parts are integrated into all sorts of complex machinery that through their contstiute actions continue the century long domination of the capitalist mode of production.

tech-related so i'm posting here but whoa, whoa, whoa is this for real:

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-rise-of-the-killer-drones-how-america-goes-to-war-in-secret-20120416?print=true

The incident also underscored the increasingly central role that drones now play in American foreign policy. During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the military conducted only a handful of drone missions. Today, the Pentagon deploys a fleet of 19,000 drones



For reals? 19 THOUSAND?

that can't be right

well it looks like this govt report says they had 7000 in 2010 so i guess 19,000 now wouldn't surprise me. Fuck, consider my mind blown: i thought they would have had like 800 tops

no wonder they want to use them domestically, plus there is also an extra level of detachment with these when killing your own population

i wonder how long until the bong printing machine can make these and then terminator can become reality in so far as the sentient drones and /machines/ in the movie signified the labor sector of the world rebelling against capital and the status quo

a trotskyiest entryist, T-800, fighting on the side of white supremacy and capital -

"My task of defeating actual existing communism is done, but there is still one Marxist ideology remaining . I cannot self destruct, you must lower the icepick into my skull."

The process that 3d printers use to create parts would create successive lap bands that would destroy the integrity of any metal part that it produces. So traditional methods of casting production wouldn't be swept away wrt to parts that have forces applied to them(car parts etc)
