Galvanized steel vs. regular steel
I do not disagree, but I don't to get in ten pages of nonsense because of something NASA does with and electron-bombardment process for coating vent-tubes on satellites or whatnot.

Galvanized steel vs. regular steel
If the weld was burned off, it was rolled from galvanized coil. If a metal center has a bunch odd coil from drop or mistakes, why would they not roll it into tubing to get rid of it.

So everyone that that has ever been anyplace that has been bombed is dead? I don't think so. It is not. If you bomb a building with ten terrorist and ten civilians that have been told to get out of the building because we're going to bomb, you're not intentionally killing the civilians you told to leave. Indeed.

So, you think that because they use human shields after committing atrocities, they should be allowed to continue committing atrocities until they quit using human shields. That seems like a really good plan.

I'd bet that the tubing in the photo was made by hot-rolled sheet that has been slit into coil, and then rollformed into shape. The welding would typically be done in between two of the final stations prior to the cutoff. I can't really see the coating, but if it's coated inside and out, and the coating was not burned off the weld, then I would bet it was coated after cutoff. If the coating looks like it's been burned off, or burned off and the seam recoated on the outside it was probably rollformed from galvanized coil. If it is galvanized, and there any spangle, it's hot-dip. If it does not have any spangle, it could be either hot-dip or electro-galvanized. If there is no spangle and its smooth and shiny, it's probably electo. I'm a bit confused by: "The 4” other square section is not welded there is no join. I don’t know the forming process. It is also 1.2mm wall, it is probably cold rolled from the marks on the pipe." 1.2mm wall thinness seems a bit thin for 4" seemless.

If you actually did think about it, you might. Fund shopping?

You know it won't. You need to take a hard look at some of the people you support. And Happy New Year Brother! I hope it's healthy, *happy and prosperous for you. *Except immediately after any elections...

You know what the justification is, they're Jews. Notice all anti-Israel never offer any suggestion about how Israel might go about eradicating Hamas or calling for Hamas to surrender. They (at least the ones that aren't just stupid) want Israel eradicated.

Don't you keep telling us they are going to grow up to be Hamas and kill Jews? That's what the UN is training them for.

You poor leftist, did you report me? Hey still waiting for you to provide us with any idea at all what you think Israel should do differently. You till got nothing huh? Happy new year. Wishing you health, happiness and prosperity in 2024.

Dual pricing .
Yes, I would go to a bar where drinks were cheaper for Thai. Actually, think I would see the dual pricing as an attraction. So you support dual pricing based on age and gender. What about pay? You really showed them. Did you have a good time? I try to not to get too caught up in what's fair and what's not. Was it fair that you gave money to one beggar and not another? Do you think it helped or hurt her?

Thank you, I try. I never said I only look the a few numbers. I use the performance numbers to sort the funds, and then pick through the ones that have done well to start shopping. I don't want to spend the time required to meticulously go through all of the thousands of funds out there and carefully compare them all. I want to spend a day or two after the year end, and then spend about ten minutes a week after that until next year. I would not consider looking at the bottom-line high level. I look at what I buy pretty carefully. I just try to minimize the number I actually have to look at, and using the historic performance sort function helps me do that. How many of the facilities have you walked though? The difference with us is that you seem to think I'm some kind of moron, and I think you're probably at least reasonably bright. I said "I'm a graphs guy" in the context of a thing on TV I thought was funny. I like graphs because I understand them, I think I pretty good with them, I used them a lot at work, and think they helped me a bit to advance through my manufacturing career. I still like them, but I generally do not use them much to make investment choices. Now, you go on and have a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

Would you guys that are outraged about dual pricing not go to a bar because drinks were half-price for women?

Dual pricing .
Doesn't bother me. A lot of it in the US as well. I don't. I like getting the senior discount at the movies, and my wife has to pay full price.

Dual pricing .
Yeah, not a problem be me either. If I want to go I pay, if I don't, I don't. I already have one heater too many.

Dual pricing .
And perhaps that causes problems accommodating non-Thais. It's either free or it takes minutes, it can't be both. Perhaps, but were talking averages. I doubt there's a Thai in the country that uses as much air-con as me. The staff used to put their "winter" coats on to come in my office, Again, that's you. Yes, but they know what the Thais are complaining about an can do something about it. When non-Thia is in the lobby flailing their arms around making that awful noise, and they just get louder ever time the staff smiles and says solly.

Galvanized steel vs. regular steel
Is it welded seam? I've seen the real light gage formed-seam stuff in galvanized, but not welded. Steel tubing is typically rolled from coil and the seam is either formed or welded in process. C-Channel and formed seam tubing can rolled from galvanized coil, but it would not make sense for welded seam. I think welded seam would have to be galvanized in lengths, like they do structural.

No, the events inspired me to consider them. The events also provided great information not easily available otherwise. With Apple, it was the marketing, quality and attention to detail. With Boeing, it was the relentless pursuit of safety, compliance and customer service. With Brunswick, it was the direction the company was going, the recent capital upgrades and the new product platforms in the pipeline. I've worked in manufacturing most of my and I've been though I'd bet over a hundred plants in seven countries, and I know what a great operation looks like, and what competent people sound like. Yes, I select funds based on past performance. I would much rather select them based on future performance, but I can never find the data. Yeah, I'm not real bright, and it seems to me like pretty much all that stuff is based on past performance too. When I first got into it, I watched CNBC Asia religiously listening to everyone's analysis. Special guest comes on about a particular company that had been in the news and goes all wild-eyed graphing in different colors on the glass. I'm a graph guy and this guy has me riveted. He goes for like ten minutes graphing and talking and I'm on the edge of my seat. He turns to the host, and the host asks something like Sooo, how do you see them doing going forward? or some-such and dude turns the glass point to a blue line trending up and says; if it goes up it will look like this, and if it goes down it will look like this, and points at the red line trending down. That's the last time I watched the show. Like the man said, "It's a monkey with a handful of darts. How much do you want to pay the monkey?"
