  • small screws in general are just easy to strip

    Hexes are very sturdy. I ride mountain bikes and for some reason brake rotors are secured with Torx while all other screws are hexes. Torx on rotors are usually tightened to 4-6Nm and they are single use 99% of the time. At the same time there are plenty of hexes of the same size which are tightened to 8-10Nm and there are zero issues.

    Torx are fucking useless. And don’t get me started on tiny Torxes in laptops…

    Fridges are very good dehydrators due to the simple fact that their back wall is a giant condenser. It is always colder than air in the fridge, which forces moisture in the air to condense there, it then drips into the tray under the fridge and air inside gets dry. Dry air absorbs moisture from the food and the cycle continues.

    This is why you store your fresh greens in covered plastic buckets, otherwise they will dry out very fast. And this is why dry curing meat in the fridge works really well. Also if you grow herbs or have excess and want to dry them, chop them, put on a tray and into the fridge, they will dry out in a day or two depending on how much you chopped.
