Right . It ' s okay . Carlotta slowly edges away , going to do some warm ups for her own race instead . <| sep |> That ' s what I am trying to remember as well . Because if they took 2005 blood and planted that , then the 14 c Radiocarbon testing won ' t help . <| sep |> I meant it as a statement and also as a request for clarification <| sep |> Trump ' s victory was more a loss for Hillary than victory for Trump . People largely stayed home . <| sep |> If you purchase a sewing machine in order to create a number of garments , there is due to physical forces beyond our control , friction , entropy , etc an average fixed lifespan for the sewing machine as a productive tool . Eventually it breaks down and deteriorates to a point where it is no longer functional or , even if fixed , eventually finds itself fixed to a degree that it may , in itself , constitute a whole new sewing machine . As a product of labor , the sewing machine has a certain amount of value which has been realized in its production and use . Let ' s say that the average life of a sewing machine is ~ 20 , 000 garments . If each garment takes , on average , takes 15 minutes to produce with the sewing machine , the value of the garment produced is not merely the 15 minutes average social labor time , but the average social labor time for the production of the garment with the sewing machine as well as a fraction of the average social labor time required to produce the sewing machine , divided by the 20 , 000 garments it will produce in its lifetime . The value of the sewing machine and the value which it contributes to the product for which it is used to produce , are already determined by the average social labor time required to produce the sewing machine itself the means of production . What is true of the sewing machine is true for machinist tools , robots , assembly line machines , etc . It is a dead value , already realized , which is slowly being eaten away at as it deteriorates from use . It can contribute no new value , merely the value which has already been realized in it .
