I've been discriminated against, during the interview process, several times now (sometimes it's pretty obvious). Sometimes to my favor but usually not. I don't get hung up about it though. The ones I want to work for care more about getting the work done than things like hair color anyway.

I'm chicken. Having quickly dulled many a HSS drill bit on FR-4, I love my (one) HSS cutter too much to pummel it with glass fibers (!). Or if you meant those mandrel-mounted HSS saw blades? Those might be good, and they've got 'em very thin too, ~0.010" IIRC.
