I have a number of concerns with CSU Ft. Collins. I know people who transferred to Billings because FtC was losing accreditation in some majors. (This was years ago.)
FRCC only offers machining in Boulder Co. Welding (only mentioned because that’s what this tread is about) is offered in Larimer though.
I know of several job opportunities today in the northern part of the Front Range that need toolpath programming.
The kid built a CNC router for his HS FRC/FTC club as an Eagle Scout project, then ended up at Mines.
I own Netgate (hat tip to the haters who will comment), the company that does pfsense and tsnr.
I also own Bump It Offroad in Windsor, CO. We do some CNC (plasma table) as well. I pay welders about $70k/year plus benefits, to start. They’re both college drop-outs, but smart and willing to learn.
Though I grew up in the trades, it’s not about “dues” for me, but more work ethic and willingness to learn.
> Remember when IPv6 decided on 128 bit addreses and defaulting to /64 blocks because someone thought using a 48-bit MAC address as the IPv6 equivalent of a port was a good idea?
No, I don’t, and I’m well-aware of EUI-64.
IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing because some on the design committee or making comments on the drafts thought that 64 bits might not be enough.
