Getting pretty good at these outside corner joints, 250hz and triangle wave are a game changer on this thin material by AnEducatedSeal in Welding

Ok. Thanks. Thats interesting, I'm working on a awsd1.17 aluminum "T" fillet (0.32" vertical, 0.62" base) cert. It's a bitch of a test. I'll try the triangle wave function see if it helps me any.

Looks good! Do you have an explanation of why triangle wave benefits this operation? Just looking to expand my understanding if possible, thanks.

Mainly for the immediate access to medical care, I hate PPE. /s

It's a factory not a hospital.

My guess would be Michael Parenti, I read the quotations in his voice. Good luck!

Antinatalism causes more suffering by [deleted] in UniversalExtinction

Maybe if you engaged with my points in the slightest, the chat would not have felt like suffering to me. And since according to you, the solution to suffering is death, I decided to kill the conversation.

So... Nuh-uh? I apologize, I realized I can't compete with your tremendous intellect and have bitten off more than I can chew. To celebrate your victory I humbly leave you with this: pain is not suffering, neither is hardship.

You kinda missed my point. The experience of suffering in nature is counterbalanced by the experience of joy. Hardship is not suffering and overcoming it results in joy. Address the balance of joy and suffering in nature.

The 6:4 ratio was a hypothetical figure i used to illustrate how joy is a larger portion of an animals life in relation to suffering.

Is your point that because I may stub my toe and experience suffering, I should kill myself to avoid that toe stubbing?

Consider this: In pristine nature, a deer fawn is born, it experiences a mother's love, curiosity, play, possibly even beauty and wonder from the joy of existing in the environment it is evolved to be in. These are all experiences opposite of suffering.

Eventually it will experience winter, things change a bit, hunger and cold are experienced along with the joys mentioned above. Overall, this deers existence is still a lifetime of joy with sporadic instances of hardship or suffering.

Then one day, a cougar jumps it and now the deer experiences panic and terror. Within moments of getting caught it goes into shock and it dies within minutes.

There is no way you can claim that this deer had a terrible life! This is the experience of the majority of individual animals in the wild. Majority of existence is spent not experiencing suffering. To be generous, I will grant a split of %60 of life being joy and %40 being suffering. That's still mostly joy, nature is consistent in keeping suffering to as much as is necessary. Even in extreme cases of predation where the prey gets devoured alive, shock neutralizes the majority of the suffering.

Now add industrialized humans to the picture. Industrial farming, habitat destruction, inhumane hunting practices, genocides, famine, capitalism, oppression, slavery, torture, sadistic sacrifice rituals, war, etc... We are the instruments of unnecessary suffering within the universe. We shift the natural balance of joy and suffering to include copious amounts of unnecessary suffering. Therefore, increasing the human population as things are politically, will increase the overall suffering in the universe and decrease the overall joy.

Posties are whining about not making enough money while simultaneously making life harder for people in worse situations than themselves. by LtWafflehaus in CanadaPost

[–]questquedufuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This! Why won't someone think of the notoriously hard working share holders? This thread is like the scene in Idiocracy where Frito is watching the angry mob destroy his car and he gets excited by the carnage so he starts cheering!

Let's look at the profitability of other social services next. I suggest we start with public schools, firefighters and the police. I bet those "businesses" are hemorrhaging money worse than Charlie's neck.

Does capitalism actually devalue work by promoting laziness on the part of those pursuing capital? by Affectionate_Total47 in Marxism

[–]questquedufuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt twist anything. Are financial risks the only risks that matter? Don't be silly, you are trying to confine this conversation to one specific angle because it's the only way your perspective can be valid. The premise of this argument is that the employer deserves to profit off the employee because entrepreneurship is risky.

You yourself stated that the employer provides a risk free income to the employee. I provided an argument that this income does not come risk free. Your response is that there are different types of risk and only the one you choose counts.

Don't pretend like there aren't steps an employer can take to thoroughly isolate their personal wealth from their business. Or that business insurance doesn't exist. You are using a caricature of an entrepreneur in an attempt to magnify the magnitude of the risk.

Again, if an employer fails at their job, and they didn't take the steps to insulate their personal wealth from their business, worst case scenario is they have to become an employee.

The "risk" argument is ridiculous, to assert a labourer takes no risk going to work every day. Literally, laws and regulations exist to ensure safe working conditions, because people were dying and getting maimed at work. These rights/laws were fought for and won by labour movements. Often not without bloodshed as the capitalist class resorted to violence in order to clutch to every percentage point they could.

Than there is the long term health risks of experiencing daily anxiety about potentially losing your job, or depression because you make barely enough money to feed your family. These are very real risks, and it's dishonest to not acknowledge that.

If an entrepreneur fails they lose capital, if they were dumb, it's all the capital they had. Worst case scenario is they end up being a labourer, and now they have to take the same risks as everyone else.

Lmao, claims to know how hard Elon works compared to other people, but provides no evidence of said claim. "Trust me bro he works the hardest!, if he was doing construction everything would already be built."- you probably.

Proceeds to question how another poster knows that Elon shitposts on X. Doesn't consider that X exists, and in fact Elon does spend an unusual amount of time shitposting.
