You don’t realize that you’re wrong in the moment. The idea bounces around in your head long enough for your brain to decide it was your own conclusion. We can become less biased, but make no mistake: our brains are a total mess.
This is what happens when evolution throws hardware at a problem, succeeds, and it’s still poorly optimized.
I’ve definitely changed my mind on a few things as a result of online discussions. I can’t remember specifically what the topics were, unfortunately. What I do remember is that it didn’t happen the moment of the disagreement. It was a few days later when the topic came back up for unrated reasons and I realized I had the other opinion.
I know this is just a joke, but I’m reading a book on quitting right now and one of the points she is driving home is that if you quit at the right time, it tends to feel too early to quit.
It feels too early. The idea is that you have to recognize your own cognitive and social biases that make us want to persist and objectively determine whether it makes sense to go on.
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, members of the press, we stand at a crossroads, not just as a community, but as a beacon for progress in our ever-changing world. The path before us is both familiar and uncharted – a journey we must embark upon together. Some might say the numbers speak for themselves. But numbers, like whispers in a storm, can be misheard or misinterpreted. What truly matters is the spirit behind those figures – the unwavering commitment of every individual in this room and beyond.
Our new initiative isn’t just a plan; it’s a living, breathing entity. It will adapt, evolve, and transform as we move forward. We’re not building a rigid structure, but planting seeds that will grow into a forest of opportunity. Now, I could regale you with promises of grandeur or visions of utopia. But let’s be honest – we’re all too smart for that. Instead, I offer you something far more valuable: potential. The potential for growth, for change, for leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of our shared history.
Critics may question our methods. Skeptics may doubt our resolve. But to them, I say: watch closely. Our actions will echo louder than any words I could utter today. As we embark on this journey, remember: flexibility is our strength. What seems set in stone today may be sand tomorrow, ready to be reshaped by the tides of progress.
In conclusion, I stand before you not with grandiose proclamations, but with a simple truth: the future is ours to mold. And mold it we shall, with steadfast determination and a twinkle in our eye. Thank you, and may our endeavors be as fruitful as they are memorable – or perhaps, just memorable enough.

Torx are superior to all other types. I’ve been a carpenter for roughly three decades, and have suffered through all manner of fastening methods that have come and gone. None of them can hold a candle to Torx. I’ve never seen another type that can resist stripping out so well and for so long.
Torx should be the default over Phillips for sure. Phillips is fine for shit like access panels or screw terminals. Slotted is useless for anything but the adjustment on pots and thermostats. Robertson is just a proto-torx. Everything else either exists to make someone money or is a bolt
How do you feel about square drive? I’m no carpenter, just someone that’s done enough work around the house, but I’ve found that Torx are the best option but square is a close second (but I don’t think I’ve used them in any especially high torque situations, and they may fall short there).
So square is a close second in terms of quality, while being vastly simpler and cheaper to manufacture. Seems to me like i’d prefer square.
Also i’d be terrified of getting dirt in a torx screw, good luck cleaning it to make it usable again. Though i haven’t actually had this problem personally so it’s just a hunch
I have torx all over my mountain bike that gets caked in dirt, a little bit of water and a pick gets them usable in seconds. I could argue that hex is superior to square but they’re both worse than torx so who really cares.
Torx, hex, and square/Robertson all require broaching, generally with a rotary broach. The manufacturing process is basically identical, though the manufacturing of the machine tools varies slightly.
robertsons are tapered, so unless you get a proper positive lock, or they have dirt in them or something, they’re more liable to stripping out. But other than that, they’re great.
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to
Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say “lakes”. You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn’t it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it’s impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.
