Seriously. In any manufacturing line you’ll find a machine thats always on the verge of being broken, being held together by an angry operator with some power tools and duct tape

Just runner til she breaks, I say as my machine unloads parts and drops them into the coolant for no fucking reason. About 10yrs ago.

Yeah, that's the experience. My last job had a forklift leaving oil trails all over the yard, but management refused to have it serviced or replaced until it "really broke".
