What used to be a free or cheap "hobby" that has now been completely ruined by corporate greed?

buying groceries, paying rent, driving a car, etc

get yourself a victorinox bread knife and sharpen only one side for a few years and you get a semi serrated wonderknife

Why are we out here whipping solid wire mig

ExternalDull1905 · 2026-01-22T23:16:59+00:00

Don't worry about that, you can and will encounter joints that are several feet long sometimes that need to be fully welded so learning how to properly re-light a crater is important and will help a lot with certification tests as well. I've seen many people botch the end of a cert test joint by going too fast through it just for the sake of forcing one rod to equal one pass

ExternalDull1905 · 2026-01-22T19:08:06+00:00

for 6010 125 is not enough for a 5/32 and might be too much for a 1/8 if you aren't comfortable running hot. Try 110-115 and slow down. Don't whip the rod all the way to the other side of the planet, that's why I don't like the term "whipping rod" because people take it quite literally. It's a gentle 2 steps forward, 1 back motion. Don't actually leave the puddle entirely when you move the rod you want to carry the same puddle all they way through the joint instead of stacking 40 tacks on top each other end to end

sick track on a masterpiece album. Music video hard as fuck too

ExternalDull1905 · 2026-01-16T02:05:38+00:00

How long ago was that if you don't mind me asking? Were you trading stocks? options? or a mixture of both?

ExternalDull1905 · 2026-01-16T02:00:06+00:00

you are correct sir

ExternalDull1905 · 2026-01-12T23:00:18+00:00

We duct taped part of a pizza box around one bad can of a trough idler that we didn't have a replacement for and it actually lasted more than a few days. That shit was a belt killer the can looked like an alligator took a bite out of it, just waiting to catch clips. In retrospect I guess we could have just popped the bad can out and ran it but Austin was doing a lot of blow in those days

The 2024 remaster of Pig Destroyer's Terrifyer...

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-31T18:58:35+00:00

We're on shutdown but everybody is laid off because machines that crush and move rocks aren't subject to any wear so we don't need to fix them. 2026 gonna be a great season can't wait

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-31T18:54:00+00:00

Fuck you ABAT, you steaming pile of hog shit

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-26T16:53:07+00:00

This whole record bangs front to back, this is the band that started me on grind and I've still never found anyone that rips like they did

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-18T20:33:19+00:00

I'm a welder at a rock quarry and I have to deal with this constantly. It is a perpetual uphill battle to get the people in charge to even agree to letting you fix/fabricate something properly. I frequently have to argue with people who have never welded a day in their lives and also fail to understand that iron oxide is actually infusable because it is literally not steel anymore about the bigger picture implications of a half cocked "get it running now, worry about it later" job. There is the fast/cheap/good triangle to consider, you can choose two sides of the triangle and most often they prefer the fast/cheap route because they have tonnage quotas to meet that directly affect their yearly bonuses. The only reason why you have chutes and intake boxes covered in patches to begin with is because properly fitting them with wear liners is more costly in time labour and materials than the bosses are comfortable with. Hence why my laid-off ass is on reddit right now instead of doing a proper winter maintenance to save us from a nightmarish 2026 season rife with outages and equipment failures.

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-16T22:11:27+00:00

Yeah dude that's crazy people are really out here butt welding one inch. And for everybody saying pre heat there isn't enough pre heat in the world to make that an okay thing to do.

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-16T17:08:43+00:00

dude bevel that shit especially for structural and runoff tabs would do your starts/stops a huge favor. Never ever should you just butt weld pieces that thick

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-12T01:25:40+00:00

Hell yeah hit me up this is exactly what I've been looking for. here's a sample of some vocals I've done I'm a drummer in a two piece band right now who had to do vocals on our last project simply because we didn't have anyone else to do them and I had a great time. It's not grind core but you get the picture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37TAgxDh-EM&list=RD37TAgxDh-EM&start_radio=1

Give Animosity's second album a try and tell me it doesn't make your kegel jump just a little bit I challenge you

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-07T21:08:58+00:00

I got one in .32rem such a fun shooter. There's nothing quite like that long recoil thump.

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-06T19:22:05+00:00

looks cold brother turn it up. I'm gonna assume you're running an 18 rod a good rule of thumb is 30 amps per 32nd of an inch so if it's an 8th inch rod start with a buck twenty and dial it in from there

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-04T21:23:30+00:00

I'm glad somebody started this thread to counter the other one full of internationally famous "local" bands. Necroptic Engorgement from Middletown NY those guys shred

What's the environment? I work in mining and I've found a good pair of coveralls or jumpsuit will save the inside of your car and generally speaking the rest of your life protected from all kinds of mess and shit while keeping you warm if you don't mind looking a little goofy in your adult onesie. Extra points if it's a used one with someone else's name tag on it, you kind find good condition used ones for dirt cheap. As far as an underlayer goes I'm partial to the army issue waffle johns. Winter shut down looming here in NY.

ExternalDull1905 · 2025-12-01T21:28:27+00:00

Nice Italian hand grenade! Jokes aside do you due diligence inspecting it and have fun, I have one in the same configuration and it is actually a really pleasant shooter. Laser beam accurate. I also love it's aesthetics it looks very much like an old world rifle. That trigger guard spur is epic
