    When it comes to welding tube, mill scale is my bane. I always end up looking like Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer when I work with it, it gets EVERYTHING filthy.

    Remember those 2 Ryobi cordless grinders I bought that everyone was wondering "wtf would you need 2 cordless grinders for"?

    They are AWESOME for cleaning weld sites with a flap disc and small grinding wheel. Princess Auto just had a huge sale on flap discs, 10 for $18, so I picked up 30 flap discs. They're pretty solid quality from what I've seen so far.

    Between those, a bunch of 8" DeWalt grinding wheels on sale at Canadian Tire, and half-off a DeWalt die grinder on Amazon that shows up tomorrow, there have been some serious savings on the metal prep front this past week.

    Now I just have to figure out whether I'm going to step up to a better, multi-process hobby machine, or just get a CO2 setup for my current POS welder.

    Get the better welder rather than crutching a POS welder.

    Yeah... but we're talking $150 vs $2k... I'll probably do the $150 for the short term, and then work on the better solution sometime next year.

    Yeah, I've been eyeing this unit: https://www.everlastwelders.ca/products/multi-process-tig-stick-plasma/powerpro-212.php

    I've heard pretty good things about it.. and it's AC/DC Tig/Stick as well as a plasma cutter.

    I first read this as a part of you got stuck in the elevator. That would have been much worse.

    I was hoping after the Greatest Generation died off everybody would stop giving a shit about the Royal Family, but no dice.

    I would love to know why half this planet still claps like circus seals at the very mention of these lucky sperm contest winners. These people get paid $60 million a year to simply EXIST. But hey, kudos to the Suits actress for marrying the queen’s rich Nazi grandson.

    Not jealous. Tired. It was bad enough dealing with my grandparents needlessly worshipping these worthless cash whores for the first 25 years of my life, and they were born in Canada. Diana was the only one with any decent substance and she died. I was hoping the world would have grown up and ditched these douchebags by then.

    Lots of people can tell you that they like the royal family. But not a single one of them will give you an actual reason for it.

    The Kardashians make money from the bank account of OJ Simpson and various other well-heeled scum their father kept out of prison.

    They are useless, but they don’t get a per diem of cash out of thin air. Somebody actually earned it for them.

    Id give her association with Paris Hilton much more credit to their fame than their dad. Hate all you want but they created a mind boggling business empire out of their asses. Im curious as to what the whole family is worth, you hear retarded numbers for random things, tens of millions a year for in game purchases and ungodly tweeting fees and so forth. Are they a billion dollar brand? 2?

    Yep. Kim used to have a closet cleaning business where she "worked" for Paris Hilton cleaning her "old" shit out of her closet in order to make room for her new clothes.

    Then she was on the reality show with Paris.

    Then she grew that ass, got fucked on tape, and the rest is history.

    Hate her all you want, but she's a million times better at her job than you are at yours.

    Funny you asked.

    Here's a calculator that's equal parts interesting and depressing, where you enter in your income and it tells you how long it'll take each member of the Kardashian group to make that amount.
