Boss: You can weld this right?
Me: No, that's aluminum, I cannot weld aluminum.
Boss: No this is alloy.
Me: Yes aluminum alloy.
Boss: Why can't you weld alloy?
Me: Aluminum dust is flammable we don't have any dust collection system and I literally don't know how to weld aluminum properly, either I can warp it, melt it or not penetrate properly.
Boss: But this is alloy?
Me: *points at casting markings* What do you think **AlSiMg** stands for?
Boss: How should I know?
Bro I'm going to explode
