I haven't machined hastelloy but that's some expensive shit. That seems like a poor use of that alloy though, but whatever lol as you said it's their money.

I recently did a reactor that was supposed to be 1200C at 30,00PSI and wanted to use hastelloy X (alloy used in nuclear reactors) for that, but budget made us use 316 at a stupid wall thickness and lower the pressure to 5,000psi @ 800C. Same shit but opposite.

304 and 316 are considered food safe. 316 is what most industrial food processing machines use. 304 is somewhat easier to machine, and cheaper, so lots of components are also made from that but it has less corrosion resistance.

I was a delivery driver. Most customers were 40+ it's not a kids these days thing. We don't have the money to order delivery. We deliver it.

Oh for sure. Old autos were terribly inefficient.

I do prefer manuals. But the fuel economy of autos largely surpassed manuals a few years ago. Can't beat 10 speeds or a cvt with a stick shift.

Or you could build a new and better building instead of patching up poor construction.

Northwest Arkansas. The Ozarks, around the Buffalo river. Great place if you love mountain biking, hiking, camping, local music, breweries.

Southern Arkansas and the Delta near Mississippi and Tennessee is the bad part.

I've been to most states, many large cities and travelled internationally. I only moved here a few years ago.

Not everywhere in the state is a backwater hellhole. I'm not happy with the politics here either, but I also dont interact with those people if I can avoid it.
