The most recent required class added to the curriculum at MIT is “Tool Design And Use.”

They deploy at 50 mph. So hopefully, people aren’t driving 50 mph in 5 inches of snow.

But what’s a reason you WOULD make a screwdriver bit out of stainless?

Why on Earth or in space did they use Phillips fasteners? They are designed to cam out over a certain torque, guaranteeing damage when turning with enough downward force to keep the bit in contact with the screw as it's pushed out. So many other, better options. Maybe they have to be a special alloy and those were

That interior is super depressing.  BTW- did all of our avatars get nuked?

I lost the bolt and nut holding my ankle strap in at the top of Steamboat a few years back. That was fun. Luckily I found someone at one of the lift lines on the way down who had some zip ties. Wasn’t the most secure or confident ride down but it worked! Anyway, back on topic, this would have been much worse if I was

Just a single wrongly-sized bolt/truss plate (of probably 1000s) on that Minnesota highway bridge, yet that weakness was largely what brought it down. Weird how bolts/supports meant to function flawlessly only when interlocked suddenly can go to shit when unlocked. Yeah, only a few bolts broken of 119, but what if

8 series is still one of the most beautiful cars BMW ever designed. BUT WHY THE BRUSH? Tell me you have PPF. 

Sandpaper is probably cheaper

“foam brush” made me cringe.

Was he married twice?  I thought he had only been married once, now divorced from his ex wife. But yes a VERY Hoovie sentence.

That’s an extremely Tyler Hoover sentence. 

I remember that one of these was sacrificed (for $3500 or $4500) to Cash for Clunkers.

Scion xD had a really cool design for a super cheap car

A colleague had an 850CSi coupe - great car but it was a maintenance nightmare. It had 2 of everything which cost $$$
