Late to the party but I had a friend who was an expert welder spend some time teaching me to stick weld from a welder that I'd purchased. My welds look like streaks of seagull shit. I know the welder wasn't at fault becase his welds on the same welder looked immaculate haha practice practice he told me.
Alas my welder was destroyed in 2020 in my shed when we had a bush fire come through and took the shed out.
Because it worked to get them where they are... So they keep doing it. Ostensibly Germany's not sending Taurus precisely because of this.
