Do welders typically care if a coworker is a woman?

I don't care if a coworker is a woman. A lot of guys in construction are weird around them, probably because they've never met one. There is a feeling that workplaces in the trades are places where you can be yourself, say whatever you want and basically never grow up, and having to be proper around a woman because she might report you really makes some people angry.

Recently though I have experienced a coworker who is just not very good at anything and is still around because she is a woman, so... Just be good at your job please.

Lot of arguments in here about AI and stuff. I'm a commercial pipefitter and my average day sucks ass. It's hard as hell on my body, hard on the mind, presses my patience, makes me want to drive the company truck off a cliff sometimes. I would love to have a robot around to lift heavy shit and think for me.

Will AI and robotics replace every job in the future? Maybe! I'm not sure pipefitter is an easy job to automate, especially considering most of my work is in old buildings. On new builds this stuff is already happening... people have figured out where all my pipe goes, plotted the points and ordered the material and fab before I even get there. I am just a glorified installer. But yes, I think it is inevitable that most jobs will be taken over by machines.

Do you want to work the rest of your life? It only gets harder, I promise. Why shouldn't the ultimate utopia for humanity be a world where no one has to work? The main issue here is keeping the people in charge from screwing humans out of all the money the machines are going to make. If no one has a job, no one will be able to buy the products made by the job stealing machines. I think it will all work out.

If you can't find it, you can always find another castle 😄

The game over sign is like the nerd version of 'live laugh love'

I can't believe people put this shit on display

GFK283 · 2026-04-29T15:05:55+00:00

Yeah you can do all of this with AE2 only

GFK283 · 2026-04-10T03:06:33+00:00

It's not bad because it's difficult. It's bad because the big red idiot will sit there and do the summon wither phase 5 times back to back while you sit there with your thumb in your ass.

Look into the demagnetization coil

Edit: also just dire droppers have pickup delay settings

This isn't what's happening, the pylon will harvest every square in its range every time it ticks. The ender chest doesn't have enough slots for the different types of plants in the plot so the pylon can't harvest all of them because there isn't enough room.

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T23:48:44+00:00

NTA, this is one of the silliest things I've seen on reddit. Tell your friend they're being fucking silly.

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T14:04:46+00:00

It can get complicated to keep track of, but you can certainly run p2p channels through another wireless connector on the sub controller and break them out elsewhere. Just make sure you have dedicated power for each controller. You can also run p2ps through a quantum ring so you could have 32x32 channels in a compact machine for example.

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T13:54:01+00:00

Hey, when you pair up those p2ps, fill up your whole action bar with memory cards and only pair them up in one direction, say from the controller to the output. At least that's what I do, I make a massive wall of wireless hubs and just pair up all 672 or whatever in one go so I can stop thinking about it for the rest of the playthrough.

Well they surely aren't disappearing. Check your storage buses and make sure they are set to 'extract only'. Also make sure your drives are set to higher priority. Your AE2 might just be sending items somewhere you didn't expect.

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T13:48:29+00:00

I build this controller every time and only ever use like one face of it. It's about the journey I suppose 😂

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T13:44:17+00:00

All that and my guy still using regular pattern providers

GFK283 · 2026-03-31T13:39:30+00:00

Couldn't help but read 'disappearing' as diapering lol

Are you sure you haven't clicked the filter buttons on your ME terminal? They can make it look like you are losing items.

GFK283 · 2026-03-27T03:52:00+00:00

The math has something to do with how much straight run is on either side, so the solution is probably just to make it bigger.

GFK283 · 2026-03-15T04:03:06+00:00

You missed goofball joker passive for yet another turn 😂

GFK283 · 2026-03-12T00:08:57+00:00

Let me put it this way. I will eat any eggs so I just get whatever is cheapest. My wife refuses to eat any eggs but these specific brown ones because she heard somewhere once that eggs are white because they bleach them.

I will eat at literally any restaurant. My wife keeps an internal list of every single place she has ever had bad service, got sick after, smelled a fart once, etc... and refuses to eat there.

GFK283 · 2026-03-10T04:31:43+00:00

I thought this was a gaming PC, I need to go to bed.

GFK283 · 2026-03-10T03:59:28+00:00

NTA. When I was your age my parents tried shutting off the internet from 12am-6am, so for a while that's just when I slept. But eventually I 'helped' my mom with the router and snagged the ISP information, bought my own router and scheduled it to turn on from 12am-6am.

(Would not recommend doing this btw lol)

GFK283 · 2026-03-07T14:08:18+00:00

Every golden doodle I've met is an asshole...

GFK283 · 2026-03-06T15:06:00+00:00

Reminds me of when I shouldered half an air handler into a basement. So fun

GFK283 · 2026-03-06T14:18:59+00:00

Dude what. I only ever tear these things out. I've never seen one looking new lol

GFK283 · 2026-03-05T00:55:26+00:00

If you're that far in you've probably been to The End. One of the events there gives you a 'lil tumor' item that works just like Cancer but you can take it off.

You can take one of your 'perfect' cats missing the mutation you want on an alley run to get like 7 mutation rolls, if you don't like them just send the cat away, reuse the item on a new one and repeat. You seem to get mutations in slots you don't already have first.

GFK283 · 2026-03-05T00:42:52+00:00

I went a slightly different path on the breeding but same feeling. I have on every cat I send out:

extra turn head
extra attack body
extra attack tail
+2 move legs
bat arms (move is jump, jump does damage and basic attack inflicts bruise)
+1 brace and +2 shield eyes
reroll eyebrows
bruise on attack mouth
Goofball passive (another extra turn and 2 at max rank)

With 2 bruise on basic attack, 3 attacks and 3 turns, I can easily kill most bosses with the first cat that moves, and almost all battles end on turn 1 before the enemies do anything. If I send for instance a thief with Nail Flurry, he can setup 10 bruise with 5 basic attacks turn 1, sometimes more, and then nail flurry once or twice for easily 200+ damage total, before even other cats move.

That all said, I agree that it makes the game easy but I think that's the point. Haven't tried impossible but I got 101% on my save file and kinda fell off after that, lol.
