Are you at Holtec?
I've been told that place is ridiculously difficult to get hired on at. I applied once, never heard back from them, then moved on.
No, I'm at a shop in Etna doing architectural furniture. Currently on a massive shelving project for a major retailer. All stainless, all a pain in the dick. You'll see the shelves in a few months if you go to fruit stores to buy cell phones
I always use it for the classroom displays because it's easy to see for students.
Then I make sure they access it on their phones in class often so they can use it where ever they are if they don't have a graphing calculator with them for homework.[/quote]
What math classes do you teach?
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Actually, in a way, you have. Solving algebra problems as a youth builds up the neuron connections in your brain that are used to solve ANY logical problem. The more abstract math (like algebra) that one practices, the more neurons are utilized to make logical thinking/problem solving faster and more efficient. That is the whole point of studying math in school. It's like body building. Unless you're a professional bodybuilder, you don't lift weights for the sake of lifting weights---you're after some other kind of after-effect. Studying math is the "lifting weights" part----solving real world problems [in any way] is the "after effect" of building up your brain muscles (neural activity/efficiency).

Well that is certainly am interesting theory that I of course have to completely agree with. Makes a lot of sense. Now I must spread the good word to the people of schools across this great land.

Cool! I'll keep an eye out for them. I get a kick out of seeing stuff and understanding a little bit about where it came from.

We also did a bunch of stuff for the Mt Washington update as well as Point Park. Light poles, trash receptacles, benches, that sort of stuff
