    Thanks that was cool.
    And THIS is why we use a safety factor of 3...or more.... I think for bridges it's more like 5 or 6.... And I'm grateful for that...

    Same here. All my friends took the college prep classes in high school. I did in 9th and 10th then said wait a minute. I'm most likely not going to college so screw it Lol. To the easy classes and skated. My Sr year i only went to school 8-11am and then worked the rest of the day. Winter time I got laid off but didn't tell the school that

    I went through a rather long period of my life where I had no idea what I wanted to do. I interned at a machine shop, I can Weld, I Interned at a body shop, I was in racing for awhile. I always drove and was in ag in some aspect through most of it though. I wish I would have figured out my life alot earlier. It would have saved me alot of time, effort and money. I did meet alot of good people along the way though. So that is one highlight....I guees....lol. I also took drafting/cadd in high school.

    Lol, funny you say that. I actually really enjoyed the math. It was prolly my favorite part. I learned that I really suck at free hand drawing. I'm not bad on the Ole Autocad though. Or atleast I wasn't then.....lol

    Pretty much the same path I took.

    I only went to a vo-tech school.

    I was never good at math they taught in school.
    They also didn't teach usable math so there's that.

    Also same.

    I kinda can weld. Do pretty good with a mig but that's just a man's hot glue gun. Never was any count with stick but I'd like to learn tig some day. Only regret I have is not going to school for cad instead of mechanics. That could have lead me into the machinist and so on that I think is so cool. However at nearly 30 I enjoy where I've gotten so far and have the ability to learn the cad stuff.

    Never to late to learn. One good thing to come out of the scamdemic is most things can be done online now.

    I found school ruined a lot of things for me. Its only been in the last year or 2 that I've really started to enjoy things like reading, drawing, music and fitness.

    I hated doing things like book reports. I just want to read the book and enjoy it. I could give a rat's behind about symbolism and metaphors in a literary piece, I just want to enjoy the story.

    Art and music always seemed subjective to me. Like I'm not the most skilled artist but if I completed the art assignment accurate to the criteria, why should it matter if it doesn't look perfect? Same with music. If I played the song properly why should I not be entitled to a decent grade?
