Gonna go ahead and say it, this thread is bringing back a lot of good memories of earlier, simpler times where the internet made people slightly less stupid. :)

I daily drive a 1995 F150.

I studied and passed the test to become an elevator inspector but found out I am deathly afraid of heights.

I'm working in aerospace welding again, currently making parts for F35s and Space X rockets. I actually hope both of them fail miserably every day.

I'm studying to become a certified welding inspector so I can boss people around instead of working.

I applied at Lockheed Martin this week.

I like *Univeral's* Halloween stuff. My you can probably guess my Instagram name to see pictures of ghouls and ghosts.

I never want to own a business again, it torpedoed my life pretty bad. I do welding in my garage for fun now. I've been thinking about making YouTube videos for ages but I seem to find all the stuff I want to talk about already on YouTube so I don't see the point at the moment.

I'd like to make knives in the winter when it's not so hot out.

I'm growing an exotic fruit garden as my project currently.

Welp, see ya!

I had no idea you were a QEI. I thought I was the only one of the forums who had one or even heard of such a thing.

Sucks about the heights thing though.

Was more of a lurker back in the day. I recall heading to WRC in Wales with cpt. ballistik and AirWave(sp?) and a few other goons about a million years ago.

The general sentiment of "gently caress social media" has be weighing heavy lately. When the turbo blew up on my Audi I thought of AI and all the amazing content over the years so I thought I'd look in.

What happened to the English guy with the Ford van? KevBarlas or something..

Exploded A4 turbo remains -

I'm not nostalgic for the bad old days -- the dasvolk era -- of IRC. I'm sad we -- and I -- didn't do more about it then; when we finally got rid of dasvolk for good, the quality of the IRC went way up, but it was ultimately too late, and the damage was done: the good posters were gone, and all that was left were folks who put up with him and his ilk for too long. Das Volk was an out-and-out nazi (it was years until I understood what his username '1v1r1f' meant), and we should have gotten rid of him long before.
I had no idea about this but it explains some odd interactions I had with him.

I reported that profile when he popped up again, and nothing happened. I figured after 10 years or whatever the mods let it go 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean if you can post better anyway then whatever. I dunno.

Things like this is why, aside from being on the AI fakebook group, I generally try to stay away from being FB friends with "forum people" that I haven't actually met and gotten along with irl.

He was generally a decent guy but after his accident he got a little unhinged and I think he confirmed that he'd sustained brain damage but that might just have been speculation by us.
