This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also robot welders don't get the health side effects of a lifetime of welding. My first job in IT was for a place that was on the front edge of robot welding in '98. We had a couple of guys that were in their 60s that could barely breathe or see that toddled around the shop floor. I found out that those guys were the "real" welders that would tell the computer guys what they needed to change in the code to get the plasma cutter to do its cut properly, welder to do the weld correctly, etc.

Side note, plasma cutters are awesome. We stuck a VW bug in the thing and cut it in half in about 30 seconds.
