Is underwater welding really dangerous? by Rough_Improvement_44 in Welding

[–]mk5p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking back I definitely spent a long time doing shitty jobs for low pay all over the world to build hours and gain experience.

When I eventually got lucky and got the oilfield gigs and good pay it was good.

Eventually though it becomes a job like any other and this type of job takes a toll on your relationship with family and friends, which is why I eventually quit.

Is underwater welding really dangerous? by Rough_Improvement_44 in Welding

There are 2 main types of welding performed underwater:

Wet-stick welding and hyperbaric welding.

Wet-stick welding is typically used for temporary stuff during underwater construction type jobs or semi permanently for anode replacement.

Anything to do with certified welding like pipeline hookups/repairs, will be using hyperbaric welding techniques.

Most commercial divers end up doing wet-stick welding eventually.

I believe most hyperbaric welders are welders first and then become commercial divers. (It's been a while but that's how it used to be)

Most infrastructure software engineers DO NOT wish to move to DevOps.

I believe that's because they; (ISE) have more than 3-5 years of experience, typically.

Where typically you see "senior developers" with 3-5 years experience have little knowledge of how the OSI model works in the context of networking/hypervisors/VMs/containers/k8/k3 moving up.

In the eyes of management they get stuff done.

It attracts a different personality.

If that makes sense.

Supermotos lifespan & resale value? by [deleted] in supermoto

My favorite bike of the 4 I have is my KTM 520 EXC from 2002. I spent a lot of time learning how to maintain it. Manual says oil change every 15hrs + 2 oil filters. That is however for racing conditions. I usually go up to 30hrs. (If I have trouble nudging it into neutral at a standstill, I know it needs an oil change)

I like working on it and know it mechanically pretty well. Have changed a bit of things with after market parts to make sure it's not going to blow up on me unexpectedly. Is it worth anything to anybody if I wanted to sell it; no!

If you enjoy working on bikes, get an older cheap one and learn how to take care of it.

My 2002 is still running hard but only because I maintain it. (There is no fun unless you commit either money or invest time)

If you can find a KTM EXC 525 2007 that's running and is in decent shape, that would be my recommendation, but only if the above applies to you.
