At least the Republicans will finally have to accept that they’re worse for the deficit and national debt, right?

Should the slot be partial or go all the way through? If partial, is that standard for the size of the screw, or universal?

How wide should the slot be? Should that change based on the size of the screw?

How deep should the slot be?

Should the sides of the slot be perfectly straight, or angled to perfectly fit the wedge shape of the driver? If angled, what angle?

Should the bottom of the slot be perfectly flat or slightly rounded so a coin or something could be used in a pinch? If rounded, what radius?

Should the top of the screw be perfectly flat, or domed, or raised?

Should the bottom of the head be flat, angled (at which angle), smooth, rough.

Should we use metric or freedom units for the thread pitch?

Should the threads go all the way to the head?

Should the point of the screw be flat or tapered (at what angle)?

I’m pretty sure this is the only way for Reaganomics to actually work.

Haven’t read the book yet, huh?

I like deviled eggs, and you’re right.

I definitely ate at one called La Cucaracha several times before I understood.

The guisado burrito was fantastic.

You’ve had two other replies to this comment from folks with “maggoty” in (or entirely) their username.

I’m sure there’s nothing to that, but I found it surprising.

I need this in my life.

So that’s the backstory to the username…

Somebody once told me…

Hello fellow Midwesterner!

I’m sorry Jon.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Might be overselling the reality factor.
