  • Literally me in 2003. 😂

  • Scoobuntu the only scooby-doo based desktop distribution.

  • Every non-rookie sports person is a veteran.

    Why does the gaming industry constantly try to gatekeep certain language?

    Get a more interesting hobby.

  • These days, as in...Now?

    Today?

    This is the era of boomer shooters...

    We haven't had a new stand alone Uncharted game for...7 years.

  • You are talking like Apple isn't still pumping elons garbage through their devices for a 30% cut.

    They'd pull the app if they really cared.

  • Apple still has no problem pumping this to hundreds of millions of people through their app store for a 30% cut.

    Do they really care?

    Pull the app.

  • Why not remove the app from their app store?

  • I'm one illness or accident from being financially ruined, what do you really expect me to do about it?

  • curl

  • 40 days backpacking 800 Miles on the Arizona Trail.

    Walking from Utah to Mexico, in November with gradually decreasing daylight. Lots of night hiking.

  • True story, rabbits are prey animals, so it takes work to build confidence in them as pets.

    But the thumbnail is peak Youtube. Just needs the bunny to grin like Mr Beast.

  • I have a headlamp that's basically just a metal case wrapped around an 18650 cell and it is quite insane.

  • My car doesn't even have gears.

  • Napkin and Napron comes from the same french word, which means " small cloth". The french word comes from the Latin "mappa" which is from where we directly get the word "map".

  • You really don't want to use stainless tools as they will plastically deform

    They are made specifically for stainless fasteners.

    You'll frequently find them in the toolbags of aerospace professionals and industrial electricians and they are really the only folks that deal with a lot of stainless fasteners.

    Bicycle and motorbike folks have lots of stainless hardware, too. And lots of time you'll see folks blame JIS/Phillips on ruining their fasteners, but sometimes it's just because they're using toolsteel tools on stainless fasteners.

  • If it is posidriv, you must use posidriv and you can’t use posidriv with a conventional Robertson/Phillips/JIS.

    Uh...you can use pozidriv or Robertson tools on pozidriv fasteners without issue... I think it's the only standard that has cross-compatibility with another standard like that.

  • Higher-end bike parts might be the one application a home DIYer might encounter stainless steel hardware.

    Stainless hardware is generally pretty uncommon, but most common in things like commercial kitchen equipment, aerospace and industrial machine panels.

    In those industries, the pros know and carry specific stainless steel tools, because using normal tool-steel tools will destroy the hardware.

    tl;dr Phillips, pozi or JIS, you might just end up shredding the softer stainless bicycle hardware with your harder tools.

  • Torx's highest-in-class leverage without camming out gives it superiority in some applications (eg impact-rated deck screws), but if you had to choose one fastener head for everything, posidriv is it.

    Torx is not self-centering, and therefore inappropriate for many tasks including anything not hand-assembled. It is also susceptible to stripping out after rusting.
