Actually, most of the files on The Pirate Bay are not copyright protected. Back when the mock trial against them happened, I counted the files of the 100 most popular torrents at the moment, and about 1 in 5 was copyrighted, the rest were other files, such as sfc, dsc, Linux stuff and so on.

I've posted some of my own stuff on TPB, simply because it's a very convenient platform. I don't need to host it on my own server, and it reaches a large userbase.

Besides, nothing is hosted on TPB, they aren't doing anything which, say, Google aren't doing (actually, Google is worse, because they do keep copies of copyrighted content without copyright holder consent). They just have more attitude and a cooler name.

True, GPL is a form of copyright. What I meant was "copyrighted and not posed with the permission of the copyright holder".

Is it a sexual experience for you to appear on cam, or is it "just another job"? Is there an exhibitionistic pleasure in it?

Date among nurses, they have seen it all and won't be shocked.

I'm a hobby welder at most, and not very good at it. The angle grinder is my best friend for making it look decent. I stick weld and MIG weld, but can't make a proper weld with TIG, gas or plasma.

I'm OK with not making the best looking or strongest weld in town, I can fix it with the angle grinder and I don't weld things that will hold heavy loads.

What's the most cost-efficient and low maintenance rig for a guy like me? Flux core MIG?

Also, any tips to minimize deformation when welding? For example, when making a tube angle, I want the angle to be correct, and the heat tends to deform it, leading to extra work fixing it.
