  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)?

  Ok, only the first half of those were about the driver used, but I’m sure there are things I missed in that!

  There are at least 3 standards for the + shape already. Phillips, Pozidrive, and Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). They do not play well together.

  insert obligatory xkcd standards reference

  I have a “running sink water at bedtime” cat, and an “I demand to drink ‘found’ water outside at first light” cat. We still miss the shower curtain licker.

  Nevermind the 5 other dishes in various rooms including a never ending cat fountain they used all of a month before scorning.

  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.

  I’d also accept “motion sickness.”

  IIRC that was X11. It has admittedly been a minute. And by a minute, I mean a year.

  You can do gui apps too! I used distrobox to run WebEx on an Ubuntu image for an interview. Just had to get to the actual binary to launch and it worked seamlessly.

  I thought you only had to join if you can’t beat them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it’s more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.

  We could just as well ask “you are from where?” Or “your name is what?” That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.

  You’ve forgotten Reader’s Digest.

  And we can’t forget the episode of Seinfeld where George takes a book into the bathroom.

  Absolutely a mask off “let them eat cake” level quote.

  Absolutely. Jack Welch’s rotting corpse requires further tributes. The product isn’t what matters, just the line going up.

  Maybe it’s time to consider repatriating Texas (to Mexico).
