It would very much be our problem because then we’d have a nation with fealty to Putin/Russia right on our doorstep.

It definitely was a thing if you bought them new. http://i.imgur.com/zf92o.jpg

Sure but if we fail to succeed, which is highly likely, then we get to plunge the country into fascism, y’all qaeda style sharia law, aiding and abetting Putin, etc. I’m sure you’ve heard it all though.

Ive never seen any credible evidence of an actual transfer of funds to Stein from Russia, but there is definitely evidence that they support her in order to siphon votes from the Democratic candidate. U.S. elections affect the entire world and it is no surprise that enemies of the U.S. are going to use every resource they can to alter the results in their favor.

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

Hillary is a downer cuck that needs to stfu and gtfo. Nobody cares what she has to say. She’s done enough. Please just fuck off and go make some insider trades or something.

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.

Nobody uses hub motors on production EVs yet as far as I’m aware due to the much higher unsprung mass this creates. That is to say it is a bunch more weight flopping around on the opposite end of the suspension from the frame. This leads to handling, ride quality and reliability issues. Rivian does at least use a 4 motor system though.

There are so many details which are being thrown out here in order for you to lump those two quotes and events together like that and call them the same. I’m no genius at reading comprehension and even I can see that! I think you need to spend an additional 5 minutes reading about the two wars, and then some.

Vegeta, what’s his MHz level?

Yeah, I think that’s more just actually saying “Robert”, but with a heavy accent.

“This is competition for my product that costs taxpayers billions!”

Pretty much. Except Beto is the nickname for Roberto in Spanish, just like Bob is the nickname for Robert in English.

Also, since I think of it every time I see SpongeBob, I just want to let others know that his name translated to Spanish is “Esponja Beto Pantalones Quadrados”.

Wouldn’t his underpants need to be square as well? His show name is Sponge Bob’s Square Pants, after all. Or maybe those aren’t his underpants he’s sniffing…

Did Florida’s law provision for treatment options? If not, then maybe it really isn’t the same “stupid easy-sounding solution”. I think that if you should take some time to read the article and understand the measure that was voted on, before you call the entire population of California as dumb as that of Florida…

From the article:

Breed’s office has said the measure was intentionally designed to be flexible on the treatment component. Treatment options could range from out-patient services to a prescription for buprenorphine, a medication used to treat addiction. They noted it doesn’t include a requirement for participants to remain sober, recognizing that people often lapse in recovery and shouldn’t be kicked out of the program for a slip-up.
