I'm kind of a big deal...
 

The government has classified me and my work place as "essential". I just want all of you civilians sitting at home in quarantine to know that I will do my part to ensure that this great country remains operational. Your welcome and stay safe.

You work at an oil change place, huh?

CNC machinist

Thank you. Stay safe and god bless

That is actually pretty essential.

whats a “CNC”?

Please tell me there's "more" of that gif, particularly on the downward side...

Good question. It stands for "computer numerically controlled"

Computer Numerical Control.

Machined by a bit that is controlled by a servo, which is controlled by a computer that holds plans for the machined piece.

Everybody who posts in here gets free rep. Bless you all

Do you write the code which controls the computer?

No, I'm too stupid to do that.

I've classified my line of work as "essential" to me leading the life I want to live and I'm not asking the government for permission to do it.

So how are you involved in the process?
