fizzle

Someone said in another comment it’s designed to cam out, not necessarily strip, in order to prevent over-tightening. Someone else replied that wikipedia says there’s no evidence of that though.

You absolute legend.

I’ve seen these in Australia but they’re not popular. Until a moment ago I thought they were for some specific arcane application.

I’ve found a couple that just didn’t seem to be snug enough from the start. Like 6 hex screws on this bike trailer thing. 5 of them fit a 6mm hex wrench perfectly, but on one it just spins and the next size up was too big. Either it wasn’t to spec or it warped at some point or something. I think other fastner heads would be more forgiving in this regard.

If it was AI he would’ve been standing, probably at home.

I think government AI manipulation is probably 10 years or so ahead of civilian capabilities.

I doubt that very much. In Bond films in the 60s in might have been plausible that spooky government agencies had the resources to develop secret spy stuff using tech that wasn’t really accessible to the public. However, in the current era the government really only has access to the same kind of industrial capabilities everyone else does. So, they could drop $1m on having a special effects agency make something, but they don’t have abilities beyond what we see in movies for example.

I’m not a mod and my opinion does not carry any authority, but I think there’s an argument to be made against editorialising titles under any circumstances.

If you allow editing titles so long as it doesn’t change the meaning, then that opens a whole subjective debate about what changes change the meaning.

If it doesn’t change the meaning, then what’s the point of the change?

Obviously, it’s because it’s an offer made to an individual, rather than asking whether the individual wants everyone to enjoy those things.

This is the dumbest thing. Anyone with a pulse has to assume he’s dead or near to it. Shameless.

This looks great, but it seems it’s part owned by bezos? No thanks.

Kagi.

Searxng too much effort.

… but some of us are more correct than others.

Is that how the reserve works though?

Here in Australia the reserve isn’t a bunch of big tanks owned by the government. Its a legislative mechanism requiring fuel retailers to hold a reserve.

It wouldn’t make sense for the government to own or manage a reserve because it needs to be cycled constantly (petrol deteriorates quickly, diesel too but less so), and they’d need to replicate skills from the fuel industry.

That being the case I don’t think there’s a big tank of fuel owned by the government.

Edit: ok it seems I’m absolutely wrong about this.

The federally-owned oil stocks are stored in huge underground salt caverns at four sites along the coastline of the Gulf of America. The sheer size of the SPR (authorized storage capacity of 714 million barrels) makes it a significant deterrent to oil import cutoffs and a key tool in foreign policy.

Sorry Americans.

As an aside, I don’t understand how this works because it’s certainly true that fuel doesn’t last forever. Maybe you can store raw unprocessed oil indefinitely but not fuel.

No we don’t. We call it authoritarian corruption and price fixing.

My theory is, some domestic fuel producer has done the math and decided that a dem majority in the mid terms will cost them more than providing this discount on fuel for the next 4 months.

Hopefully, they pay for the discount and face a dem majority after the mid terms.

I agree with literally everyone here that this is not normal aging and stimulants are not the solution.

How many 31 year olds do you know that had to start taking adderall to stay awake after sleeping 10 hours?

That’s not true.

It can feel that way when you think as shares as numbers on a computer but they represent a share in the ownership of a country and presumably that ownership is actually worth something.

If no one wants to invest because of the vibe, then you can buy the shares for a bargain.

Maybe it’s a bit like buying a house where someone was murdered. If you don’t care about the vibe then the reduced demand means you can get a bargain.

You can argue the shares are grossly overvalued, and that may be true, but my point is that shares have an intrinsic value and if demand reduces it increases the appeal to other investors.

Nah.

The more people divest the more appealing these investments are.

Pretty predictable.

They’re trying everything they can for the mid terms. This is one of many measures. Americans have become very complacent.

A large tarp still obscures the place on the building where Trump’s name had been.

Pathetic and shameless as usual republicans.

I reject the premise that you can determine someone’s mood from their behavior.

Additionally, for someone who is actually depressed, having a device monitor you and prompt you with a tailored workout sounds like torture.
