They are a UK company selling Chinesium machines however the UK company has been around for years and they warranty them internally and are good about repair or replacement if they break and know their stuff.

Ha, I have their R180 mig and it's a really nice machine! I'll look into tig stuff when I get access to a workshop at the end of summer.

To outsiders when you can pick up a nasty low duty cycle MIG for a hundred bucks that looks expensive.

Yeah, my wallet isn't calibrated for welding equipment. For an amatuer/hobbyist, $700 is still a bit pricey.
I can't even be arsed to buy a gas bottle for my Hobart 140. Mainly because almost none of the welding supply places are open outside of when I'm working, and no one puts prices for a bottle on their website, just refills. There's no way I'm renting a bottle.

Shockingly the new HF Vulcan branded welders aren't bad at all. The top of the line one is just under 900, and does all 3 methods. It's obviously not as nice as dedicated machines, but for a hobbyist it'd be loving perfect.

For MIG only, the machine below that is nice for a hair under 700. Haven't used the TIG only machine.

All that said, I've built race cars with nothing more than a Lincoln weldpak 140 bought from CL, and being very careful. But a nice welder is so goddamn worth it.

Even AvE was reasonably impressed with the Vulcan welder. They cheaped out here and there, but apparently not where it really counted.

Your best bet for a bottle is flea markets and CL.

Some (AirGas, I believe) you make a deposit on the bottle (last one I did was $150 I think, edit: that was for a tiny rear end 50 bottle) as your rental fee. If you don't return the bottle in 30 or 60 days, the deposit becomes a cash price for the bottle.

Oh, I started my own church a LONG time ago...

It's a shame, though. There are some things that I did get out of 20+ years of weekly Catholic mass and Sunday school. The ability to pass time when surrounded by utterly boring church. Discipline. Focus. A feeling for a communal atmosphere. Reverence and respect. All good things.

Lots of bad that's well documented.

The most surreal experience in my life happened in a church -- I had a couple "uncles" (my grandmother's brothers) that were priests. At one of their funerals, I was sitting with the family up front in the largest cathedral in Cleveland. It was interesting to watch the mass for a priest -- there were several dozen priests from all over the area that attended and they do a whole separate "priest thing" during mass that I'd never seen before (just their own prayers and responses, etc.). At the end of the mass, the priests and Knights of Columbus exited first and proceeded to line the walk out of the church.

As we were walking out, we were in pairs, my grandmother/father, my dad/mom, etc... except I was by myself. I got out of the church, turned to go down the walk and saw this absolute gauntlet of priests lining the path and I had a bit of fear that I'd immediately be called out as a heretic. I'm glad I was sober, because I think any altered state would have twisted me at that point.

I always liked the story:
Priest comes in to give mass at a newly built church. Big, open space, but built for capacity, not acoustics. So they have a full PA rig set up for the place.

He steps up to the pulpit, begins to welcome everyone, but it's way too quiet, and he says "oh, I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the microphone".

To which the entire building reflexively booms "AND ALSO WITH YOU".

:hfive: My brother is supposed to be starting this fall, there's a 6 month wait list around here. I keep telling him to bust his rear end through the class and get some experience then don't get tied down because if you can weld and are flexible, can travel, you'll make a good living.

FWIW I never went to church past the age of 4 and still got all that anyway, it's usually more a result of good parenting and growing up in a good environment generally than a (direct) result of Sunday morning hobby-having.

Guys I think my car is haunted or powered by magic.



First partial fill up was making sure the gauge worked. Second fill was with a totally cracked manifold, bad o2 sensors and always running a/c. Third was new header, still bad o2s, and always running a/c. Fourth all of the above but seafoamed and new plugs.

Fifth, I stopped running the a/c. Sixth, today, nothing has changed. Still no a/c, still beat the poo poo out of it, same commute, still throwing codes for both sensors.

AFR is good despite the codes, no weird issues, nothing. But magically I just got an extra 7mpg.

Being raised in church made me a jaded, mentally hosed up atheist who refused to trust people by the time I was 12. Trying it again after I met my wife, and going with her family in my late teens and early 20s made it even worse. I fully think being forced into that poo poo made whatever brain issues I was going to end up with anyway exponentially worse.

When I know someone is very religious I automatically distrust them, and discount anything they say until (heavily) proven otherwise almost as a defense mechanism.

This is a struggle with my wife and I. She's Catholic and I'm...not. I'm fine if she wants to take the kid but I don't really like being part of the whole thing. I am a decent and moral person (mostly :v:) without all of that and I'd rather my kid decide what they want to believe. Neither of us really like the divide but neither will change, either.

I make no secret I believe in Jesus but I sure as gently caress will NOT step foot into a organized religion church again. I've had a complete gutful of the hypocritical assholes in the pulpit and pews that spew hate and division especially to the LGBT. I've had a gutful of pharasees that preach love thy neighbor and Jesus giving out free healthcare and food...... and then vote / advocate conservative to stop dem refugees and FYGM destruction of the social safety net.

Ive become a lot more progressive and left wing reading a Bible after leaving organized religion - and TBH wether you believe there's Sky Person or not, "Dont be an rear end in a top hat and help those less fortunate" is a really good message that is repeated over and over in the NT, it's one I've tried in real life to follow with various levels of success, usually not very.
