A wood screw seems like a pretty poor choice. Those connections shouldn’t experience much shear force, so a plastic rivet would hold just as well, if not better because of larger threads. You could then have a structure that’s entirely plastic and (depending on the types you use) more easily recyclable.
No thanks. Support a person’s weight on something that could be made to collapse with a couple cuts with a cheap knife? Nope.
Any man, including the pilot, that did not call this garden gnome on his bad behavior is a hamster. When did men start being so weak? My money is on the hero. Go big Daddy!
Woman was trying to travel with what looked like twin toddlers/babies—one in a car seat, one in her arms, and an older child. I can only imagine how tired she is in general, and then to have Douchey McDoucheface wrestle the stroller away from her after she was told by a different flight attendant that she could try…
This pisses me off. But you know what REALLY grinds my gears? People who watch landscape mode videos on youtube with the phone in portrait mode.
The article mostly discusses what Russia or China could do to sink one. It totally overlooks what we have been, and likely will continue using them for. That is to project air superiority over a country with little to no navy of their own. The ability to launch planes and attacks when no friendly air base is available…
Did everyone already forget all of the things he said regarding his foreign relations policies and procedures during the campaign trail? He does not want to be predictable. He sees predictability as a weakness. And there is certainly a point to it. If you tell your enemies what you are going to do and then you go and…
How is our credibility shot? Do we not have a plethora of forces stationed in Hawaii, Okinawa and South Korea? We have the 31st MEU that routinely patrols the entire AO. Just because the carrier group did not immediately respond to meaningless threats by NK, which are extremely common-place, doesn’t mean that the U.S.…
No one thought they were holograms. You mention straight away that this is the same technology used with Tupac and I’m pretty sure that’s what everyone assumed this was, “19th century magician’s trick” or not. We didn’t expect a French presidential candidate to be using revolutionary new holographic technology for…
Next thing you are going to tell us is that a “hover board” is not actually a hover board....
I’m just amazed that people do this kind of pointless crap for a living. And probably make insane amounts of money at it. *sigh*
I knew I’d heard of this before. Here’s a review I found when I got curious about how it works vs. how the bags coffee comes in works, and discovered it’s really just a bunch of voodoo and mumbo jumbo. A lot of their claims don’t even make sense: http://www.frcndigital.com/coffee/friis.html

CO2 is not the problem - oxygen is. Freshly-roasted beans vent CO2 though, which is why valves are needed on coffee bags used by roasters - so the escaping gases don’t bust the bag open (or break your canister, jar, etc.)

this is gizmodo, where everyone lives in the city and is a freelancer
Because I love Excel, and there’s no substitution for it. Therefore, I have to get the suite.
I’ve done way more word processing then I care to admit. I have never found a word processor that does anything nearly as well as Word. If you need to have complete control over the formatting of your document to submit your thesis (hundreds of footnotes, hundreds of pages, tables of contents and citations that change…
Wow, do I have news for you. Literally everyone uses software they hate for work that is insecure and generally shitty. Word is arguably one of the least infuriating that I run into. Sure, technically Google Docs is an alternative, but receiving phishing emails designed to look like links to Google Docs is just as…
Because my documents do look better in Word than in Google Docs. And, oh, I’m a lawyer so I don’t want my documents from my clients and for my clients on the cloud.
Because it’s the only approved word processing software at my employer.
