You know! ❤️
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
Torx for anything that needs to be torqued or used with power tools, Robertson (square) for anything intended to be used with hand tools or more finer work (a screwdriver)
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
Right, field maintenance, especially when you don’t have access to tools is a bit of an exception. Personally I think using take down pins for guns is the way to go for field maintenance anyway.

Lol absolutely, stripped screws are the worst
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
Ya Ikea standardized on hex because it’s cheap to mass produce. It definitely strips though.
Torx has slowly been gaining popularity in the US for a decade or two now, but sadly Phillips is still pretty popular and hex is pretty common also, you will see the square/Robertson screws a lot in electrical panels and in cabinetry but not super common at the hardware store.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you’ll see a torx screw in cabinets.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
Square (Robertson) and/or torx depending on application. Square should be for everyday things and torx should be for anything mechanical, yes I know there is a big gray area in the middle there, but flat head, phillips, and hex need to go.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 1 week ago:
Can we all agree that flathead should be outlawed and Phillips needs to get phased out with a quickness

I’m still salty about Bernie being sandbagged. Not a big fan of how Kamala was shoved in either, but she’s impressing me more than I expected, I just hope it’s enough.

Do you think high skill trades aren’t an education? I don’t think they are saying anything against a traditional university education, but more supporting skilled trades as well.

Ya it really did, and flying the helicopters was truly a challenge, so when you got good at it + the sound track, it was epic

Pretty sure they are talking about “plastic deformation” which is a term in materials science for when something is under the right conditions and force is applied, it bends instead of breaks of springs back.

If you have chronic trouble breathing through your nose, go see an ENT. That surgery changed my life.

He didn’t flee, he was based out of the Bahamas to try to evade taxes and regulation, not extradition, this meme isn’t accurate.
