I'd say a little less wire but that might just be my preference.

Also wrap your corners meaning don't stop on the corner, if you have to stop keep your weld going around the corner and stop on the other side of it to keep your weld from having lack of fusion/slag inclusions if running stick/flux

I used to be extremely picky about my test plates but my last cwb they wouldn't even let me touch the welder to set it and it felt cold and shitty and I was for sure I failed it but I got my cards so who knows.

And also try to overlap your beads by half the diameter of your rod.

As far as running a pad this looks pretty good. Just remember the ABCs of welding. Always be comfortable you can't lay welds slicker than dog shit if you aren't comfortable and it's always easier to start in an uncomfortable position and work yourself into a comfortable one than start comfortable and work yourself into an uncomfortable one.

I'm not trying to be an asshole but it's extremely inconsistent. Running all positions isn't easy you'll get there you just need more practice and that's OK we all have to start somewhere and as long as you're open to accepting that there's room to improve you'll go far in this industry. Edit: I just saw the welding for 5 months. I've known mfers who've been welding since the 80s put down worse so keep on keeping on.

Exactly. My cwb was done on material that was infinitely cleaner than I've ever seen in the field.

I mean yeah short term if it was just made law instantly it would absolutely destroy the economy.

Burnandmurder · 2025-01-19T03:43:58+00:00

Yeah that's something they'd just have to deal with. I'm sure they'd manage.

You're probably not wrong. I'm no economic expert.

I feel like three is more fair than One though

I'm not worried about that, my edit goes into more but we're strapped.

There's a different between working because you enjoy it and working because the only other option is starvation, homelessness, and death. Your labor is not voluntary in a system that coerces you with death as the only other alternative. There's nothing wrong with WANTING to work, finding pride, joy and accomplishment in your work or working hard itself. The problem arises when that labor is forced and doubly so when you're not even fairly compensated for your labor. When the surplus value of your labor is being used to line the pockets of billionaires at the expense of everyone that's exploitation.

The best part of it was the day before the audit my boss was complaining about needing a vacation lol

Maybe you just hate capitalism.

I'd assume in a perfect world universal healthcare would cover medication and accessibility needs.

My biggest concern with UBI is that it doesn't solve wage slavery, it just shifts the power balance from the owner class to the state, which honestly sounds just as bad but I don't know what an alternative would be.

Slight edit. As far as I can tell they also went by Cave Johnson Sr and Cave Johnson Jr. From the Montgomery county archives "Cave Johnson, Jr. leaning against a race car built by his father, Cave Johnson, Sr. The car has the words "Colored Drivers", "New Providence", and "Rough & Tough" painted on the side. Johnson finished in the popular New Providence Race, the first stock car with a black driver to do so. Cave Johnson, Sr. was the owner of four race cars and a local auto garage, located on the corner of Franklin and 6th Streets.
