From the old wood work I've seen around the house, most appear to have glue with a wood dowel, pin, or shim to lock the glued piece into place while it dries, and aren't applying excess pressure to the grain causing a split piece

The patent on Torx ran out a few years ago if I remember correctly, and I have any Torx bit at home for small devices, while only missing the bit for wood screws and larger.

Slotted (flat) screw heads at least enable the user to use a 'non-tool' to remove the screw in the case they do not have the necessary tool on hand. Take for example my front license plate, the flat head screws enabled a random wh

JIS screws will strip/cam out if you use a Philips, where I misunderstood this when replacing a rear lamp assembly on a 2016 Subaru, destroyed the JIS screw head where it had to be removed using the 10mm socket instead. I've now u

Computers have existed for nearly 70 years. Bitcoin has existed for what... 13 years? While the GBP value has changed over the course of 600 years, (of course it would, peoples and governments change in that same timeframe) hasn't a BT

If we're going to discuss crushing inflation and prices, shouldn't we also consider BTC and other coin's wild volatility? 60k one day, 40k the next. That's not a very stable system either.

Machines in a business setting when they cause death, often it is due to improper safety protocol for said machines. Consumer devices don't have this level of control over a person's life anywhere near as often, in the sense that

The main ethical issue of 'deaths due to self-driving cars' is because of who being at fault? If the car is self-driving, and truly self driving - no steering wheel, when it causes an accident, who is at fault? Humans make mistake

YouTube wholly can exist without targeted ads. The internet and ads have existed long before YouTube, and all three can exist without tracking your life.

Considering that music, shows, movies, images, paintings and other cultural representations exist, then I fail to see how 'the arts have been a complete abortion'. "Contributes nothing to civilization" - yet we fetishize

The market for the SteamDeck seems less around the 'Gaming PC' market - and more as a handheld pc. Essentially to bring the market accessibility of PC and 'desktop/laptop' games to a handheld factor. I don't da

From the link - "Isaac Newton had a cause for acceleration (force) but none for inertia." Funny, because physics explains that all objects of mass have inertia. Heavy objects traveling at speed have inertia. Faster speeds? More In

I opened up a 2017 or 18 Dell Inspiron last week to replace the hard disk with an SSD for someone. Of the 4 screws holding down the hard drive caddy, 1 stripped the head. The other three used almost no force to remove. This last one had to

Honestly, Google has spent far too long creating and throwing away messaging applications. This is almost entirely their fault for not enabling an easily cross-platform method years ago. I've made the switch to Signal, my girlfriend us

Golden Gate Bridge has suicide nets to (significantly) reduce chances of death should you desire to jump. (Though if I remember from my last visit correctly, they also have rather tall fencing for the walkway.)
