I'm just getting into welding, and I'm going to try and learn mig. Truthfully, I haven't even attempted it yet. I've just been gathering the necessary material and this weekend I thought I had everything I needed. Unfortunately, me being the ignorant person I am, I got an inert gas tank from a 3rd party and swapped it at my local airgas for a 100% argon tank. Most of you probably see the problem. I haven't used any of the gas yet, and I'm hoping to be able to swap it back for the blend and pay the difference. However, if I'm unable to I wanna try and come up with some alternative options. Option 1: I work at a brewery and was hoping our gas supplier would be willing to swap it, but I'm not sure on that. Option 2: I'm trying to see if a gas blender is feasible, as I already own a CO2 tank. And perhaps I could use the argon tank later for tig welding and get a CO2 tank that isn't beverage grade and be all dandy in that regard. Option 3: Just buy another tank, I like this option the least as they aren't cheap and that means the argon tank just sits there and collects dust. Option 4: Just learn how to tig welding first. What would you do in this scenario?

I have very little experience and I'm looking to get a welder of my own. What welder would you get and why? It can be any of the types, but try to back up why you'd pick that one.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rqZNTY I haven't built a PC in quite a few years, but I kinda like how this one is turning out. I don't want any rgb. Use case is going to be gaming, model rendering, upscaling, and photo editing. I was thinking about going to an i9.

Our tap lines are quite long. I typically do a recirculating cycle of pbc and then an acid cycle. Is there anything I can do afterwards to fix this issue?

Whomever is comfortable with it, feel free to use a throwaway How long have you been in the industry? How long have you worked at the current facility you work at? What's your current position? What's your average yearly take away?

I installed osmc in onto my raspberry pi 4 in order to easily have a portable movie player station. I know you can buy a remote that works with osmc but I was hoping to get my Xbox controller synced up with it via Bluetooth. At first I was having tons of issues getting it to even connect (my phone did easy enough.) I figured out that it didn't autoreconnect to the Wi-Fi network I had connected it to last time I used it, when I reconnected it the controller was able to sync with it no problem. Anywho I'm at the point where it's connected via Bluetooth, but the buttons do nothing. Is there something I'm missing? Edit: I installed Libreelec and it seems to work great.

So the brewery I work at, each time we can, we set aside a 6pk for just Incase someone has a complaint about something (carb is off, it was super foamy, I dunno whatever). So far it's only happened once, a Belgian beer that had been sitting on a shelf for way too long, that used diastatic yeast, got way way over carbed. We also use them to revisit seasonals to reassess if we want to change them at all. Other then that we have a large pile of beer that just doesn't stop accumulating. At what point in time would you deem it acceptable to throw out? 6 months? 8 months? A year? Longer?

Éire / Ireland Cheems • 11 months ago • 87%

I'm visiting Ireland in January, and for the first night I wanna book a hotel in Dublin and walk somewhere for dinner. All the recommendations I find on Google are for fancy restaurants that serve Italian, authentic Chinese or what have you. But I'd really like a hole in the wall local restaurant that serves local cuisine. And I'd like to base the hotel off where whatever I decide. So what's your favorite local restaurant in Dublin?

I took few screenshots but apparently you can't include your cursor in screenshots. Test it for yourself though, the hit box is gigantic

We're looking into getting a nitrogen generator and using nitrogen over CO2 for a decent amount of day to day operation things so bonus points if you have a procedure that involved nitrogen

So I use my phone timer almost constantly throughout the day. I just use the stock Google clock which has for the most part has been more than sufficient. However, lately as in the last few months I've noticed I accidentally hit the stop button as it's going off in my pocket. Which causes me to miss my alarm. It'd solve all my problems if I could just set it so that I'd need to unlock my phone to turn it off, but as far as I can tell that isn't an option.

New tanks, beer, equipment? What about it is exciting?

Hey fellow brewery workers and enthusiasts! A crucial aspect of work attire is the boots we wear. Whether you're brewing or cellering, having the right pair of boots can make a significant difference in comfort, safety, and overall productivity. I'm curious to hear from all of you about the boots you use in a brewery setting and the reasons behind your choices. Are you a die-hard fan of a specific brand, or do you prefer certain features that cater to the brewery environment? Perhaps you've found a particular style that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and comfort? Share your insights and experiences! Cheers! 🍻

If I've scrolled for a while there isn't really a good way to refresh my feed aside from closing out and relaunching. It would be kinda nice if you were 100 posts down and you press the homebutton it'd take you back to the top or just refresh and take you back to the top. I think a confirmation would be nice to have with it also just Incase it's accidentally hit.
