Yes, in ounces! So if you're 100 pounds, aim for 50oz of water daily.

Your welds will be crap in the beginning and it's normal. Don't get discouraged.
Pay very close attention to what is going on in your weld puddle (the part of the metal that's in fusion while welding it) as it will give you every detail you need to know if you're moving too fast/slow and if your settings are correct.
Always get comfortable! This is very important. Welding is nearly all about steadiness (to get a good looking weld) so make sure you're always comfy before laying a bead.
Wear coton clothes. You will catch fire and it's ok, you just don't want anything melting on your skin.
Avoid staring at someone welding without your helmet on. Getting a flash is not joke.
And finally, have some fun!! Especially if it's as a hobby. If left the welding world because of the industry but it is an amazing hobby of which I'm still in love with :)

- I'd say JohnHammond, TheCyberMentor and XssRat are great starting points on YouTube. Network chuck also has some interesting linux videos.
Before getting into hacking per se, get to know your way arround linux as you will be using it a lot. Tryhackme has an amazing Linux track.

The majority of the job is typically either at tech companies (not necessarily IT, in my case I work for an AI centric company) or working as a contractor for a bigger security audit company (cobalt.io for example)

Your AD experience will be priceless. Especially if you specialize in network pentests. In terms of time, kinda hard to say. You can either grind your way through being very good and "showing what you got" or you can start collecting certifications. I sadly couldn't really give a time frame because it can change so much from one person to another. If you can get your Sec+ and your OSCP with prior networking knowledge (AD for example) you should be good to apply.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,320,735,806 comments, and only 254,916 of them were in alphabetical order.

I think you may be a great fit! Offensive cybersec more specifically really needs you to think out of the box and this is typically where hardware folks excel as we usually often need to think out of the box when trying to fix a big mechanical problem. You can't just "reprint" that big gear with a broken tooth lol
I would say start somewhere like Codecademy or Freecodecamp. Also, once your fluent enough, try to automate some small tasks you think are annoying to manually so. Small projects will teach you the most!

So this is a tricky question. Where I'm from you'll either make a crapload of money by going welding in mines or you'll be poorly paid if you want to work not too far of the city.
In my case I couldn't go work in mines. After 7 years as a welder I barely made more than someone who worked at McDonalds. Odds are this answer is completely useless if you're in another country tho. I (think) there's decent cash to be made in the US.

Great question! I say I must've started poking arround at something like 15-16.
It kinda depends really as there are many external factors and it kinda depends on the free time you have and the speed at which you progress. I'd say maybe a few years if you're only learninf on the weekends. But it also heavily depends on finding a company that's open to someone with no prior cert/diploma

Hi, does one need to learn programming and code a lot? I am very good at math, and good at general problem solving, but cannot imagine myself getting misty-eyed about the Art Of Computer Programming.:) I Work at a retail hardware that requires high level people skill to deal with diverse demographics-- explaining them how to solve THEIR hardware problems. Not hi-tech, but you get the picture. So I was wondering if a person like me be a good fit for a cy cybersecurity career.

I have tried Monk fruit sugar, but it's mixed with erythritol -- is that ok? Is there such a product as only Monk fruit being sold (bc I can't find any, it either has erythritol or allulose -- that one upset my stomach) -V

Does welding pay good? Is it easy to find work as a welder?

What was your age when you started learning hacking? What do you think would be the amount of time required for the one with no background in tech to learn to become a hirable person?

How do you think that having a sex doll now would influence your behaviour in a future relationship?
