Convince you to grow kudzu in your yard.

If I had a yard that I could grow things in, I would... And Mulberry trees. Two of my favorite plants.

What would you do if you were given the chance, one time only and you can't wait, to go back to the start of your life with all your present knowledge?

Take it. I'd be a millionaire by age 8, and be able to make friends with my current friends anyways.

If you could remake any one single body part on your own body in any way, but only once?

Granted. Now you can never sit still.

I never could to begin with, so nothing changed.

I wish toddlers would stop chasing me. (She doesn't get it. She can't follow me everywhere. And saying her aunt Kari followed me there once doesn't make it any better!)

Granted, instead of following you everywhere, they go there just before you do... Every... Single... Time.

I wish life was less realistic.

Coffee flavored.

On pizza, veggies or no?

No, because I knew it had been going on from the start... (friends in low places)

Remember when people didn't actively try to start shit for no reason other than to start shit?

And you're violating the "don't be a dick" rule by lying straight to my face.

What am I "lying" about exactly? Your intentional misinterpretation of an obvious statement, or your unfounded assupmtion that I don't know as much about metallurgy and metal work as I do?

And would also make it impossible to guide the wire properly at the speed I'm presently doing it, since sliding the pliers down the metal is slow and difficult to do while maintaining a grip. Not to mention it'll scratch and mark the wire so it won't lay flat on the dowel and will end up misshapen.

There are pliers specifically designed for the work you're doing, and they won't scratch or mar the wire.

That's just one among many.

Wrong. And heating hot enough to cause a reduction in strength, in order to make it easier to bend, WILL make it weaker and less ductile when it cools. Sure, it gets harder as well, but hardness isn't as important as strength and ductility combined. And you're back to the idiotic solder idea again.

Second sentence of the second paragraph.

There are a lot more, I could even start scanning in my metallurgy books if you need more proof. (if I can find where my parents hid them)

Well good, you're choosing not to make one dumb suggestion so you can make an even dumber one.

Why would I follow your example?

Because I'm actually just getting mildly miffed at an internet moron who claims to have experience his idiotic suggestions prove he does not have.

You're assuming things that are untrue as fact... Unless you have proof that the vast majority of metallurgical science is in fact false, please refrain from claiming to be smarter than several people who have decades of experience professionally working the same metal as you admittedly just started messing with as a hobby.

14-gauge galvanised steel. And galvanised steel doesn't rust, at least not anywhere it isn't scratched or cut.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization#Eventual_corrosion

It still rusts, and since it's being designed as an "armor" is likely to encounter sweat on a frequent basis while wearing. (thereby accelerating the process) It is a good start however.

There are clear enamel spray paints that would work well for a long-term solution, though you might want to try conditioning the metal instead. Conditioning involves applying a liberal coat of veggie oil to the metal, and putting it in an oven at 350 degrees for an hour or so, then wiping the excess oil off with a cloth. (same thing as seasoning, usually applied to cast iron cookware, but is useful for a number of different metals)

I never said you have to believe it, you just have to quit being a dick by saying that others are lying. If you don't believe it, fine, ignore it, or prove that what is said is false.

That's your choice, but if you do that in real life you won't get very far. There are many things that can't be backed up due to security reasons, but that doesn't mean they are false.

STO... I play this game too much.

Because no matter how much alcohol you drink, it can't increase your risk of cancer as much as smoking 1 "light" cigarette.

Why do people generally hate on any religion they don't follow, and actively refuse to understand?

Remember when we weren't being actively spied on by the government?

Rug... My curtains are just fine the way they are. (non-existent)

A glass of tea, or a cup of coffee?

Granted, but you get downsized as those were 90% of the traffic.

Actually, it's only 1 in 50 calls that's like that... We have really nice people as customers. (I know, weird right?)

I wish people would give me a day off.

Granted, but you never get turned back on.

I wish to not be tired ever again.

Doesn't have a flashing avatar anymore.

Yes? No? I guess the best answer would have to be "whichever happens I will accept".

If you could do any 1 thing and get away with it?

Banned for not doing it intentionally.

Rest. (only day off between 2 blocks of 5-day work weeks)

Handling hot metal is dangerous, you shouldn't do it bare-handed.

Tickle the plastic moon's nipples... It always works for me.

You need to learn the English language beyond the uneducated teachers you're given in grade school. (not an insult; most don't even realize they aren't being taught very much in school)

OT: Peaceful.
