Got rid of my Snap-On boxes. Hobo Freight setup now, filled with Snap-On, Matco, Milwaukee, ect.

I paid off all my truck accounts after 3 years. Got tired of the buy and trade situation with tool trucks and after 5 years I realized Snap on was taking more in interest than actual principle and I got fed up. Let them take them back and took the L. Accounts are cleared. Feels great to be tool debt free.

Flux core, broken stud removal. Ram manifold.

I’m having an issue where my nut welds break off clean from the stud. Am I not welding right, am I turning it too quick before cooling? What can I do here. I see people do this 💩 with ease and I’m just baffled. I was trying to help a friend and tbh I should’ve left this shit alone. Truck has been sitting in my garage for a week.

Java Help

I’m sorry if this has been asked a million times before, but long story short, I transferred colleges and was immediately thrown into Programming II (Java). My introductory Java course at my previous university was very basic, and our instructor had us rely on AI for most assignments. It was essentially a participation class, although I also take responsibility for not engaging with the coursework as much as I should have.

Right now, I’m basically trying to do two things at once: keep up with my Programming II coursework while also learning the fundamentals of Java that I missed. Reading textbooks doesn’t work very well for me, so I learn best through hands-on practice. Lately, I’ve been using Codecademy, YouTube, and Claude AI to help simplify concepts and fill in the gaps.

Does anyone have any recommendations for resources, study methods, or projects that could help me make faster progress?
