    on the other hand, I will be taking a new job where they told me to WFH on snow days due to the distance.


    At my current job it's discretionary based upon the amount of snow....the new HR lady was asking me where everyone was one snowy day and said that there wasn't enough snow to justify working from home :rolleyes:

    Looks like an interesting alternative to a full HC front bumper.

    For you welders out there... are you typically using MIG, TIG, or FCAW (as I understand it, like MIG, but with a flux core wire instead of a shielding gas)? Or are you stick welding?

    MIG, flux core and shielding gas, depending on what I’m doing. Most of the time, 70/30 and MIG.

    If I have to weld a diffential housing or knuckle, stick with nickel rod.

    MIG unless I need to do something thick enough to mess with arc


    Unless you're welding outside I wouldn't mess with flux core.

    I think it’s only fair that they have to tatoo that on their forehead with loser right underneath it.

    If it's really windy I have had issues with the MIG shielding gas being blown away and causing sub par welds. Flux core doesn't have the same issue.

    That said I MIG weld outdoors in my driveway for some projects as long as it's not super windy
