I still have a few lighter colour shirts/t-s for certain social interaction, and my old smithing/welding/carpentry clothes are mid-blue (because when that lathe sends a piece of metal your way, you want to wear a colour that shows blood). Sometimes function>preference, after all. Indeed, being comfortable with what you wear is the best. I remember working with lathes from gymnasium, clothe choice matters a lot, and in that case better to be safe than sorry (or in the worst case, dead). Just like garden work or doing stuff with the car, it gets dirty quick. On 2023-08-29 at 5:38 AM, (XBOX)AntiCaesar said: This is still going?

We still had arts classes, but the majority of classes were foundational for getting into academia, like physics, chemistry, history, languages and, well, math. I did take basic metalwork after the gymnasium (machinework, smithing, electrics, plumbing and welding), so I should be able to keep pace in practicality and versatility. Tried milling a blade for a twohanded sword, but that... didn't work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is one of several you can choose from on the last year IIRC, other being electronics, textile working and some others I don't remember. I wasn't the best student, but it was interesting to work with, and ever since I have dreamed about owning a lathe and a milling machine, though for wood and not metal (as metal is way harder and more expensive to work with). Just like they also offer Astronomy as an elective subject, if there are enough students for a class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go on one of the more prestigious gymnasiums, so they were a bit... traditional in their choice of subjects. Then again, that was probably also a bit further back than your time. As I said... I feel old. I'm looking at a manual roller for making sheets and wire from metal. I'm already casting in metal, and with one of these, I can make sheets of soft metal for modelling everything from damaged armour plating and hand made shields, to banners and drapery. Still, I need a new futon, and my old CRT tv is on its dying leg... Sooo, one more thing for the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporthand Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) We got raised 30% of my monthly salary! Edited September 1, 2023 by Sporthand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkul Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Got the duplex printer up and running again, so I can continue with my archival project. The plan is to get all articles in my library into A5 booklet format, colour coded and sorted into subjects. It will make it easier to find what I need for my research, and keep open on sections I need to reference. As an extra bonus, they'll take up about a quarter of the usual ringbinder space in this format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, with every post you truly demonstrate, that ChatGPT can do your work. Even post on a forum. It is just the beginning after I created my prototypes. My creation aims to arrest runaway criminals in our community. I hope the baddies don't get away from prisons when they commit a crime. I was thinking of this movie scene when I created it and published a Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) journal. Later, the mutant neural network will be released. I don't know what will happen. 😅 My boss does not choose any students. He chooses only students based on their talents. Mostly, he chooses Indians, Japanese, Koreans, and Taiwanese. He rarely selects locals in the US these days. I don't use ChatGPT for this forum. Why do I need to use ChatGPT when I chat here casually? I only choose ChatGPT when I work at my desk!
