I like to imagine the shitboat floating away in flames like an epic Viking burial.

/s ?

Paying for the privilege of using AI to sift through the vast bleak sea of AI generated garbage. What a time to be alive!

There are low profile hex heads that exist for that same purpose though. Pretty much no need nowadays for slotted heads, except at very small scale.

Yeah, I’ve had hex strip before as well. It’s always been on the smaller sizes for me though at least. Like sub M3 or 1/8" ish. And of course, cheap hex keys are just asking for it at those sizes. On the other hand, I’ve definitely never had a torx head strip out on me.

I agree. The vast majority of people don’t know the difference, and have never used a pozidriv driver with a pozidriv screw. It is a vast improvement imo.

I’m seeing a lot of people here claiming that the Philips head was originally designed to cam out/strip to prevent a transfer of force sufficient to twist the head off. While I agree this does sound logically plausible, I could find no reference to such features in the original patent: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/0f/28/e3/3e3075abbb9779/US2046837.pdf 🤷‍♂️

I read that the thing about them being designed to strip to prevent worse failure is just a myth. Or at least they weren’t originally designed to. It said that the original patent never contained any feature for that. Wouldn’t surprise me though if modern companies do use screws designed to strip to prevent disassembly/repair.

Vegeta, what’s his MHz level?

Was the dew you made of the mountainous variety? Did you have to make do with what you had in order to make due on your rental payment? Am I doing this right?

Same kind of dictator mentality I’d expect from Musk himself honestly. Doesn’t fix the problem because he’s insulted that someone else pointed it out. Cutting off his nose to spite his face. He’s good at that. I’m really surprised the board still tolerates his shit.

Oof. Yeah, I’d doubt they pay very much there, probably have to take what they can get. Maybe I should apply🤪

Same. It says on his Wikipedia he quit drinking in 2018. I’m surprised he quit but glad for him.

Watermark AND convenient excuse for an actual typo… nice!

Good point on the difference in context. I guess that’s how I’ve seen it used mostly.

Yep, still hate it… I realized now that make do is the accepted agreed upon spelling.

Lol yes. This modern spelling and technology is too much for me.

Yeah looks like I may be wrong about “make do” being incorrect. Didn’t know the spelling was changed in the 40s. I’ve always seen it written as “due”. Seems like an odd word to use though. Wouldn’t due make more sense? Like you’re able to meet the dues that are required?

“Googlers assigned to the building are making do with Ethernet cables, using phones as hotspots, or working outside, where the Wi-Fi is stronger.”

How the fuck is a person that writes articles for a living not aware of the phrase “making due”? What goes through their mind when they write out “making do”? How the fuck does that make any sense to them?

I hate to be that guy, but come on. It’s literally your job.

Edit: Now it’s my job to admit that I was pretty damn wrong. Thanks chryan for posting this: https://www.grammar.com/make_do_vs._make_due
