Had my first welding experience and built a stand for an old grill body to use as a fire pit. My first welds aren't pretty,.. but they are solid and will hold.
Rather impressed that I only burned a hole in one spot,.. and was able to (with guidance) fill it back in.
That's cool. I've done welding and brazing but I totally suck at both. What material did you weld and what kind of welding did you do?
Not sure the steel content,.. but some retired heavy duty shelving units - and gasless MIG. He also as a stick welder, but this was faster and simpler. It was commented of all the students my Father in law has had, those were some of the best first welds he has seen. He taught AG Mechanics for years, so he knows a bit about all welding..
What is gasless MIG welding? MIG = Metal Inert Gas.
That's the ultimate in inert.

I think he was focusing on the gasless part.

About to light a fire for S'mores. With Hershey's chocolate.
Are they paying good money for advertising? Hershey's is only ok at best.
We had this debate on here a few weeks ago I thought - Hershey's is perfect for s'mores.. better chocolate is mostly a waste.
I must've missed that thread. Keep in mind that where I'm living at the moment, food is cheap, really, really cheap.
This was not on ML. It was at a bar at MangoCon.

We recently had a thread that looked into Windows 2016 licensing. Anyone know where that is? I can't find it.

Thanks. It was missing tags so I added them.

Family dog just passed away. It wasn't "our" dog, but it was kind of shared between my wife's siblings. Very, VERY sweet boxer that had been rescued. Just the nicest, snuggliest dog. He had a heart attack while the family was watching a movie last night. He was asleep and just didn't make it. We had thought that he was only about three years old, but can't be sure. So sad.

Aww I am sorry that stinks

Deciding whether or not to call the dentist about a chipped tooth.

Just got handed an XP laptop with "crucial files that aren't backed up anywhere"... so this file copy better go super smooth or I'm boned.

So no crucial files. Good to know. Just throw that bad boy out.

That's not even the bad part. It's the no backups. If it isn't backed up, it's not important. Actions speak louder than complaints.

By the dictum of "blame the messenger"... if these files fail to copy, it will surely be my fault that they hadn't been backed up anytime for over a decade before I worked here.

The messenger was the guy bringing you the laptop. Be mad at him. Ask him why he classified them as "worthless files." Don't give him time to blame you, be upset now.
