Things I learned this week....

You can't cut stainless steel with an Oxy-Acetylene torch.  The metal pools and blobs fly when you hit it with Oxygen.   Oddly after discovering this, I found this video titled Dummy trying to cut stainless with a torch.

The Type - K yellow insulated lead thermocouple wire can't be soldered with rosin core solder.   It's made of nickel and chromium.   There's a new Type N wire.  http://www.thermometricscorp.com/thertypk.html

If you make a joke (regarding aviation) on social media, someone might complain to the FAA and they're obligated to investigate.  Recent account from YouTube "Just Plane Silly" channel story here:  https://youtu.be/P0Fs_RI4Hok
