Are you seriously considering people on the internet should start acknowledging nuance? Smh.

I just want to be angry and right - and personally insult you; even though I know nothing about you outside of a sentence or two that I just read.

Who’s to say it’s “his” cum rag? The brother might just be borrowing it. We should, as a community, stop being so quick to jump to conclusions. Smh.

I think it might just be a combination of “clean” employment, decent pay, but perhaps most importantly the professional welders I knew were all single and spent months away at a time on jobs. I guess if your outgoings are practically zero then your wage is comparatively that much larger.

Welding is like sewing. Any old mug can darn a sock… but to repair a historically important high quality silk sock to such a high standard that the repair is invisible to the naked eye takes an elite level of crafts(wo)manship that very few would ever attain. Not a perfect analogy but close enough…

Not prepared to take that chance…

Every power tool I pick up has a quick vroom-vroom before I use it properly, just like the tongs. It’s tradition.
