Torx is cool and all but all the touted virtues such as less cam-out go out the window if you have to drive them in at wonky angles, like tight fitting spaces. If you gotta angle the driver it’s not gonna seat well at all, apt to jump and wear out your bit. And if your only T20 rolls away and falls under a deck, yuck, 10mm problems.
Phillips has a place and that place is ‘a wonky place to hold a power drill’. That said I’m a huge fan of square head because it’s a happy medium between those two
I just upgraded because we got a new condo and I’ve never had an awesome TV, and I’d say it’s totally worth it if you can put it to use, but with a decent 4K TV it’s a lot more than just the resolution. You’ll probably get HDR and 120Hz and Dolby Atmos and anti-jitter settings and upscaling and all sorts of crap and that really does seem to do a lot, compared to a midrange 1080p TV from >10 years ago, even if the source is 1080p. I even noticed a huge difference playing Baldur’s Gate 1 on Switch. For reference I went from some midrange thing to an LG C4 65" (seems to be the best ‘balling on a budget’ TV out there based on reviews, I mean there are better TVs out there but this thing delivers 95% of it for half the price)
They’ll be thinking the same thing tho and if there is a greater than 20% chance of them pulling the lever it’d be worse in terms of losing family members than not pulling at all.
But in terms of overall death, not pulling the lever is 1 or 4, and pulling the lever is 4 or 13
The outcome from both levers pulled is so steep that it really makes no sense to pull the lever
This isn’t anything to negotiate. Ukraine doesn’t want to fight, but Russia is attacking them on their own land. If you had any principles you’d also be willing to die on that hill. Their way of life and very existence is threatened. This isn’t like haggling over a car
Yeah, I’m familiar with Cambridge Analytica. My response was to a single paragraph unedited comment and I stand by what I said.
A confluence of things unrelated to the desires of billionaires helps influence what a person believes or what bias they will seek. I mean, I can’t just take some random left-wing person and have them read Fox News and expect them to become a Trump supporter, can I?
You can choose to stick your head into any echo chamber you’d like and a billionaire can’t control that
I think we’ll look back at him the same way we look at George W Bush. Just some really convenient guy that got nudged and tapped and talked into doing various things, all the way to the Oval Office. Not inherently bad, not actively trying to claw their way back into the limelight, and when it all blows over they just saunter off to enjoy the solitude for once. When he’s not thrust into a position where he’s trying to steer the ship he’s pretty much like that neighbor you don’t talk to much.
I mean, I’ll acknowledge that when the shit hit the fan, Pence was literally the only person in Trump’s orbit who wasn’t blowing smoke up his ass, dropped political crap altogether, and instead decided to nudge Trump by trying to instead frame it pragmatically, like how to acknowledge the loss and gracefully bow out. Gotta give him credit for behaving like that
Let’s say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you’re at an angle and your rear right is really close to the car sitting in the space to the right.
Crank the wheel right as far as it’ll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you’re parallel with that car but really close.
Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.
Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered.
You’ll see some people try to straighten out but they just straight up reverse out of the spot and wind up back at square one, you don’t want to do that, you want to use a bit excess room in front of and behind the car to essentially guide the offending axle into place, once that’s done rest follows
It’s helpful to have a sort of pyramid in government for the sake of balancing the workload (someone managing foreign policy shouldn’t be bothered to give a shit about a pothole in Utah) but what we could do is not burden states with these kinds of things and kick it up to the federal level. For a while it was, and it was stable and consistent, but now it’s not and that’s the mess
I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!
That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets
I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.
And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.
I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there
That’s a lot of words to say “absolutely not dysfunctional”
I tried last year but a month back I got banned for ‘ban evasion’ after going on a 5000 mile roadtrip for a honeymoon and using the sketchiest of unsecured wifi APs.
This time around I realized I can set the default sort in account settings to the top posts in the past 1 or 6 hours, def give that a shot, neverending stream of new posts, zero reason to wanna doomscroll reddit ever again
Technically yeah, colloquially no sane person would judge another for calling such a thing a tank
