Rough day to be a snake…

why not let them go to the playground unmonitored instead?

That would actually be the safer option imo.

I’m sure Roblox has gotten better moderation during that time

Quite the opposite.

Hmm; so about 14Gs + a good long barrel and I should be able to launch a baby at least to Mach 2 or 3.

Stopping might be a problem, but that’s one for whoevers gonna catch it.

I wonder what the maximum muzzle velocity for a child would be (without just killing it immediately).

For some reason my brain dropped the ‘L’.

Sitting here wondering how Kevin does it…

What. the. fuck.

I think this graph just gave me a migraine.

Anti-tamper.

I’ve seen them used to screw together toilet stalls in public bathrooms. Stops bored crackheads disassembling them.

Robertson on it’s own, yes. As long as you use the proper size driver before you round out the square.

When you start carving out space for additional drivers though, the screw head becomes much weaker. The combo Robertson/Slotted/Philips screw heads will not standup to the same forces.

A good portion of these are ‘security’/anti-tamper fasteners, which basically just means they’re intentionally weirdly shapped and uncommon so people aren’t likely to be carrying the screwdrivers to tamper with stuff.

Stops things like bored crackheads disassembling the toilet stall in a public bathroom.

who the fuck outside of Japan has a JIS driver lying around, then they strip real easy. Ask me how I know.

Funnily enough, I only know about these because I’ve got one of I Fix-It’s screwdriver sets with 70 driver bits.

I was wondering why there were two sets of what looked like Philips and went looking for info.

6-lobe, star, and Torx are all names for the same somewhat common screw type. Torx is a trademarked brand name however.

Separately there’s a 5-lobe screw called ‘pentalobe’ that’s looks just like the 6-lobe but with, well…, 5 lobes. It was developed by Apple iirc, to keep people out of their products and make repair harder.

Philips/Square/Slotted (all three combined) is really common in North American electrical. Switches, outlets, breakers; all commonly use them for terminal screws.

Great for lower torque applications; you certainly wouldn’t use them for like a deck/structural screw.

Philips are too easy to strip and Slotted screws are rage inducing trying to keep the driver aligned. :(

Not pictured here is also ‘JIS’ or Japanese Industry Standard screws.

They are very similar to Philips, but they’re slightly deeper with sharper corners. They have less tendency to ‘cam-out’ and strip the screw head.

Supposedly the camming out thing is actually intentional design in Philips screws, to prevent screw guns from over torquing screws in early automotive/aircraft assembly lines; but there’s not actually evidence to support that according to Wikipedia.

I like to hammer a big ass nail through dead HDDs.

That or absolutely trash them with a sledgehammer.

You’re not pulling data off a maraca full of glass platter shards.

Well, since you asked so nicely…

I’ve never personally used that one, but it gets recommended a lot.

I’ve been using DD-WRT for 15+ years, but that’s for no particular reason other than It’s what I found first and haven’t had any reason to switch.

If you want it [to be] profitable it well drop serving every address.

That’s not an acceptable option either. Everyone should have access to mail service and as the private services aren’t obliged to provide it, the federal system needs to step up.

Public services are there to serve the public, not to turn a profit. It’s this expectation of profitability that needs to change.
