No thanks. I will stick to my torx and hex, and they better be in metric.
Don’t use over or undersized screwdrivers, especially on smaller electronics.
Stop torquing while you are still ahead.
Be especially careful if the metals are soft.
Keep your driver perpendicular. Better drivers can make this easier.
Better to back out the screw and try again if it isn’t going in smooth on something threaded. Check for debris and burrs. If you need to apply more pressure, do so carefully.
I have found that for small stuff, getting nicer drivers makes a huge difference.
Penta-lobes for some of the small electronics are funny I guess, but they don’t bother me as long as I have a bit for it. Main thing is to understand why some of these different shapes exist.
Ah yes, the head size follows their iso standard for it. The threads, however, can be metric or SAE. You can put a different screw/bolt with whatever head in the same hole, but the threads/diameter can be metric or SAE/imperial.
I hate slot screws because they are easy to slip out of, and the place that I find them the most is always outlet covers. Like… What the fuck? Why are you gonna put the most easy to slip out of screw next to the most dangerous to slip into hole?!
So, basically, he had one accident per year. And he is not smart enough to understand that the universe is trying to tell him "Don't drive a car, then!"
Nah, people here just drive without a license. I really wish that wasn’t the case but it’s kind of inevitable when so much quality of life here is dependent on driving.
If you’re lucky enough to have people to support you that can really mitigate it, but unfortunately we’re not all so lucky.
Cher ami, je veux te manger de façon cannibale. C’est à dire que je souhaite te dévorer, cru ou cuit, de manière litterale. S’il te plait n’y voit aucune utilisation du second degré ni une quelconque forme d’allusion sexuelle, j’ai trop de respect pour toi, bien que cela ne signifie pas pour autant que je sois insensible à tes charmes mais c’est un autre sujet.
Of course if the person is a women you would have to adapt a few words. Also if the person is not your friend change it to Madame or Monsieurs.
By that logic a steak is processed beef. But yeah there’s a bit of a subjective line in the sand - all food goes through a process of some sort. Even veggies have to be picked, sorted, and washed.
Generally what is meant by processed is either food that’s undergone a preservative process or food with additives to make a secondary product. Like American cheese is processed cheese because it has additives after the original cheese process.
Generally butchery or packaging is not the colloquial bar for ‘processed’.
it sucks when people are mean to you though? I’ve had cars full of teens laughing at me for being overweight and I honestly cried afterwards. I don’t think it makes me fragile for that. I feel like we should normalize being hurt by these kinda things and growing for it, rather than just further insulting.
it feels like you just used that as a chance to shit on people you don’t like. I don’t like the wealthy either, but that doesn’t give me a free pass to act like a douchebag.
edit: I am NOT saying that anybody who buys this garbage human’s products has a free pass either. But what YOU WROTE is an absurd hyper generalization. There’s really no way for anybody to know whether you mean this specific car or whether you saw it and CHOSE to extrapolate into something else you hate. So, if you wanted to come across as less like a douchebag then maybe either be more specific or don’t be a garbage person.
Sorry that may sound mean, but for me that’s the definition of beeing fragile. I don’t want to use that as a slur, but if you need to cry after people where assholes, than you are indeed fragile.
Being laughed at for how your body is is one thing, being laughed at for buying a fascist’s ChildishCompensationMobile is another. It’s a choice to buy Jeff Bezos’ $100,000 Dick Mobile and drive it around like you’re cool, it’s another to… try and exist? As best you can? Corporeally?
Like no I don’t need to worry about the feelings of anyone who gives Trump money and allegiance. They made bad choices that materially affect me (how many Twitters can these guys buy up and turn into a KKK Safe Place with this money?) and I can tell them they suck for it. Completely not the same as giving redheads swirlies.
Like, for context I also give distainful looks at poor drivers in BMWs and Benzes: obviously money didn’t give them sense. So yes I’ll laugh at anyone giving Musk money after knowing his true colors.
See, my issue (not the person you’re talking to but the person who sparked this conversation) was with the original commenters generalization.
I get you. I really do. But when you get rid of all the fluff and just say “people laugh at you, you’re hurt, you’re fragile,” it has implications that go way beyond Elon Musk. That’s the issue. If they had bothered to specify the stuff you did then maybe I wouldn’t be upset by it, but they deliberately chose not to. Just like the people you don’t like deliberately chose to buy that car.
I think I can see their point. As they said, fragile isn’t meant as a slur here. If after the tenth time it happens, this kind of thing breaks you, then you’re fragile because the nine times before that made you fragile. Which obviously isn’t your fault but the fault of the people who were assholes to you.
Hey man, I’m sorry you’ve have to go through this. I’m not really a fan of “words of affirmation” that people spout out at the end of their YouTube videos, but I just wanna say, I agree that having to endure that is an objectively shitty situation, those kids are definitely assholes, and I believe you are capable of laughing back at their awkward pimply faces 😁.
The phrasing of “normalize being hurt by these kinda things” maybe doesn’t sound how you meant it lol. I agree that we’ll never live in a world free of assholes, but rather than say “suck it up and deal” we should be proponents for each other, to help each other “grow”. Calling someone fragile isn’t helpful to them.
This topic reminds me of Brandolini’s Law (aka the bullshit asymmetry principle) which says that it’s at least an order of magnitude easier to make up false claims than it is to disprove them. I feel like this extends to human emotions as well: it’s at least an order of magnitude easier to be an asshole and tear someone down emotionally than it is for that person to recover from it. Idk if it that’s useful to point out, but hopefully it makes it easier to recover from a shitty comment knowing that the person who made it probably didn’t put half a brain cell into generating it.
These modern $5 microchips probably have more features people care about too. Also they go like 100MHz on 3V and like 50mA (or less) of current. Or ~150mW of power or so and are therefore suitable to be run off of AA batteries.
