    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    I hated grade school. I always excelled, but soon found that I could simply write exams and as long as I got high enough marks on those, I didn’t have to do any homework. I found this out in I believe grade 10 when I realized that some of the courses were weighted towards tests as heavy as 50...

    Iron workers sure make fab lightning quick. If I was starting a commercial fab/welding venture, ide sell my lathe to buy one. But I’m not starting one and they are huge, heavy, and loud. But crazy good at what they do.

So is stick. Mig is the best for “general purpose” steel and is lightning fast. At least don’t not...
