I’m seeing a lot of people here claiming that the Philips head was originally designed to cam out/strip to prevent a transfer of force sufficient to twist the head off. While I agree this does sound logically plausible, I could find no reference to such features in the original patent: …storage.googleapis.com/…/US2046837.pdf 🤷♂️
Yup. “Cam action” is only mentioned in the context of the wedge shaped driver/bit squishing out any crud that had lodged itself in the screw. The entire idea was self-centering and better engagement between the driver and screw due to the wedging. The fact that it failed more gracefully is a side benefit at most, and more likely just sales fluff to compete against Robertson.
To be fair, I have snapped a few Robertson in my day, certainly higher by percent than the number of Phillips I’ve used, but that’s more than balanced out by the huge number of crappy Phillips heads that have been almost as totally ruined by camming out under fairly normal use with a properly fitted driver.
Good social/political cartoons simplify a problem to its basic elements and make fun of whatever is contributing to a problem. Bad ones oversimplify a complex issue and are just an illustrated version of closed-minded griping. Actual “humor” is optional.
Idk how much, liquidness musk has, probably not Bezos like 6B+ cash stuffs… but it would be hilarious if he demanded like 10B. How long would the print job take? How does that even work?
Well he’d have to special order from his bank. The treasury isnt going to print money just for him. There’s about 1,846 Billion worth of $100s in circulation. So 10B is ~0.54%. That’s probably enough to cause some local shortages but not enough to cause “real” issues. If he liquidated and cashed his entire 200B Forbes valuation then that’s 10.8% of circulating 100s and there may be a mild nationwide shortage.
Yes cause everyone has 40k leaving around, you are probably rich too if you think that’s not a big deal. In my country you are lucky to make that in a year. Let me make it even more simple for you to understand, I make 3k a month about 36k a year and I’m way above average for my country! With 40k here you can get a one bedroom apartment! Either way I’m pretty much sure that guy is a drug dealer cause most people have it in their bank account and not as physical money!
Edit: Just so you have a little more context, minimum wage is about 400$/month and the average salary is 1k/month.
The funny part is, shit costs here way more then in America or whatever because we have EU shit taxes!
A lot of those wacky screws exist solely to keep people from randomly messing with them. You have to really go out of your way the get the right tool for the job, and that’s if there even is one.
Like the one-way screws holding together bathroom stalls.
Yup, I’ve noticed that spanner screws (the two dots) are usually found on elevator control panels. There is no reason that somebody should be able to open those up with a Swiss army knife.
"Constable official vocab guidelines state we longer refer to these incidents as ‘accidents’, they’re now ‘collisions’…Accident implies there’s nobody to blame."
I remember in primary school, an actual police officer told us pretty much the same thing during one of those road safety classes. Road traffic collisions are almost never accidents, always incidents.
