Everyone knows that.
But, at the very least we should be congratulatory on this - it’s bad that clans were contained to DLC in the first place and Paradox needed a good kick, but since they’ve been pliable we should give them a pavlovian pat on the head.
If you leave no room for ‘rehabilitation’ there is no reason to try to do better.
Machining is a lot of learning, but it’s real, tangible work that gives more satisfaction than anything I did in corporate IT.
Moreover, even though the welding side can be a bit ‘blokey’ (macho?) you’ll find places fall into either horribly sexist (you’ll know within a few meters of walking in…) or millennials/onward that don’t mind who you are.
Machining side even the old men don’t care who you are, as long as you do a good job and don’t skimp on calibration.
It’s sexism in its own right, but a few of the older men prefer me doing the calibrations since they assume women=dexterous.
