    Why is it when I need to weld 2 pieces of steel together, I just have nothing more than the 2 pieces of steel, maybe a couple clamps, one angle grinder, and a chipping hammer. And the welder of course.

    When I need to solder something I have 2 soldering irons, a whole soldering station, 2 dozen alligator clips, a fistful of odd bits of wire, 3 pairs of side cutters, 2 different types of flux, 4 spools of solder, 6 screwdrivers, and 2 cats.

    I hate soldering.

      Lol I love/hate soldering too.

      Wires. Fuck wires. I hate wires. Wires are evil. Wires do whatever they want.

      “Hi I’m Mr wire, I noticed you’re trying to put me right in this particular location, how about I flex and jump 1 inch to the right!”

      “Haha Mr wire, I am on to you, you are trying to flex into that position, so I will align you one inch to the opposite side and use your naturally unruly behavior to my advantage!”

      “Did I say I was trying to flex to the right? No no, I’m trying to flex upwards and to the left now”
