I had the cutest, raised-heel steel-toed boots, while working in logistics.

Wow. Lovely!

You are not a woman who is not interested in peddling appearances for money.

Some of the fellow nostriches can't compute an intelligent, accomplished woman might want to discuss things of heady and important nature.

It was a messy introduction to the expectations of many nostriches. 😅

I don't blame you for not wanting to wear uncomfortable footwear.

If you ever get the chance, go to a Redwing store and have them fit you. (That presumes you ever visit a major metro area in the US.)

Agreed, it gets really old. I've deleted all of them except MeWe, Nostr, Tusky (Mastodon) and X. X is just a PWA now, though the app is still on my phone since the PWA doesn't allow me to upload media, but almost all of my time is away from big tech social networks.

Also, if people wondered what MeWe is, it's a privacy-friendy Facebook alternative, no algos and a pretty great community, so I don't mind hanging out there.

Yup

Yup.

I agree.

When I was in the middle east and welding, I gave up layers to help shed heat. I have the scars to prove it. One layer of cotton overalls was about all I could stand to wear while welding.

If you ever get over to the US, there are several good brands of boot makers that are starting to cater to women. They aren't cheap, but... Loosing toes or being in pain or having swampfoot is worse. 😁

There aren't enough women (yet?) in the field to push cuteness into the consideration of design is safety gear, though, in the US there have been some attempts made.

It's just that how much can you really do for semi-disposable safety gear that has vital functions to perform? Just dying something pink doesn't make for good fashion.

I do vouch for her. Sarah is a real person, honest and hard working and always looking to interact with interesting and like-minded people on and off the internet.

Bwahahahaha!!

So that's why...

Honestly, if you hadn't been introduced by Finrod, I would have been really suspicious for a few minutes,too.

Besides, I know that women welding engineers exist, but... You're exceptionally rare. But also... No scammer in their right mind would ever think of trying to use that as a profile. 🤣😁😆

Oh come on... That was dumb, but, I can set you up with a bunch of really great people to follow and that wouldn't happen again with that group. We're weird but observant enough to set you're legit, especially since Finrod vouches for you.

Good!

But you'll also want to set up a lightning wallet. It's pretty much expected at this point. It's not at all necessary, but... It's fun to zap and be zapped.

Yup. But gosh, I love my feed and the people I've met and will meet here in the nostr-verse.

A noble gas used for shielding welds from the oxygen in the atmosphere while the metal is hot enough to react to oxygen and weaken the weld.

That's not the NOSTR I know.

Try again and good luck!

But also get a LN Wallet 😂

I suspect you are one of those people that almost everybody underestimates, until they don't.

This is a great place to underestimated.

Why are you not posting more?
