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

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.
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
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.
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
I agree. The vast majority of people don’t know the difference, and have never used a pozidrive driver with a pozidrive screw. It is a vast improvement imo.
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
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: …storage.googleapis.com/…/US2046837.pdf 🤷♂️
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
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.

- Comment on If Adams Apples are primarily male, why aren't they a common fetish? 8 months ago:
Haha true about it seeming pretty wholesome. Yeah I definitely wasn’t judging him, it was just so random. But I would have felt awful if he thought I was judging him. Luckily I don’t think he did, because he went on for another minute or so about it.
- Comment on If Adams Apples are primarily male, why aren't they a common fetish? 8 months ago:
One of the strangest fetishes I’ve heard about was from a dude I used to work with. He told me he was into watching a girls eating hamburgers. Especially when they take a big bite. He really emphasized that part to me. I feel bad because I remember struggling to keep a straight face and this guy just wanted to open up to me about something he normally hides. Ugh
- Comment on If Adams Apples are primarily male, why aren't they a common fetish? 8 months ago:
I dated a woman who said Adam’s Apples were one of her favorite features on a man. I wouldn’t say it was to the point of being a full blown fetish, but definitely something that she paid attention to. If I had to guess, I’d say she’s probably not the only one out there that feels that way.

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!
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
Good point on the difference in context. I guess that’s how I’ve seen it used mostly.
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
Yep, still hate it… I realized now that make make do is the accepted agreed upon spelling.
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
Lol yes. This modern spelling and technology is too much for me.
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
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?

Porsche also stole many of the innovative design elements of their cars from a Czech auto manufacturer called Tatra, after the Nazis took over the factory.
