I’d probably be purged, I can’t keep my mouth shut

I’m sorry but you need to bury them in the ground

A country held captive under duress cannot be said to be a democracy. When you control the choices you control the outcome.

Have you consider that they’re brown?

Words are scarier when they’re in Chinese

I’ll swing from one to the other usually.

Yay

I think we need to spend another year arguing over the nuance of ethnic cleansing vs. genocide before I can make a clear decision on what side I support.

I rolled fire. It’s always fire here.

Concerning. Looking into it.

I feel like you’ve been around long enough for your egg to crack already if you were… but hey, some shells are thicker than others…

She the type of person who would write a 10 page essay when the teacher explicitly asked for 2-3 pages

Kinda like a goofy breaking bad

It was intentionally enshittified so you’d spend more time on it, and they could shove more ads in your face

With a mig torch, a metal wire is constantly fed through a tube instead of you constantly having to swap electrodes. It may be difficult to access some spots initially but once you get to it, you’ll have to move less.

Oh hai there

Also, if you’re welding material with a larger gap between them, you can do a series of tack welds to give yourself more material to work with without burning through the metal. This works better with MIG welding though.

With stick, it’s bad practice but you can take an electrode, knock off the flux, and use the electrode itself as a filler metal.

If you’re using flat pieces of metal together and are afraid of it burning though, you can use a backing bar to both draw excess heat away and reduce the chance of blowing through the weld by providing structure for the weld pool to sit on. You need to use metal with different properties than what you’re welding though, otherwise you’ll just end up with a 3rd piece of metal attached to your weld piece. I think I remember using either bronze or brass.

Exactly :3
