Here's one for you: "an apron" used to be "a napron".

Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing

Everybody needs one big ass flathead just to demo with. The superior wonderbar.

Stainless fasteners are niche and require stainless tools, full-stop.

Most fasteners are not stainless.

Phillips was designed to be simple to cut and self-centering, so it could be used on assembly lines. It exploded in popularity just as mass manufactured goods were becoming popular purchases.

Later styles like square, Hex (cut) fasteners, or 12-point (both types) or Torx can create higher torque without slipping but are not centering the way Phillips is.

Not only is it self-centering like phillips and JIS (eg the reason they are used in so many line-assembled manufactured goods) but it's has superior contact like a Robertson (square drive) or hex or torx.

Here's one infamous example:

It's not a "right now" problem for anyone with a lifetime of savings to insulate them.

Linux is domination.

Well, it was a sign of the times but, if you were kinda tan you had to have a story that explained how you definitely weren't black.

My wife's family is Appalachian (WV) and what I've distilled is that anyone who could tan at all (ie not completely ghostly Scotch-Irish) was told "well that must be indian blood in you!"

And then later they tell their grandkids "Your uncle roy was part-cherokee!"

Then those kids grow up and tell their kids, "Your great uncle Roy's grandma was Tenskwatawa's sister!"

It's all just a bad game of telephone with foggy memories and no real fact-checking.

Boomers will control their wealth well past their deaths using zombie trusts.

I expect no more from "the me generation"

Apostasy is taken extremely seriously in Islam.

Removing her hijab is seen as a declaration of apostasy.

It's turned normal people into unacceptable drooling trash.

They always were. Social media just gave them a platform to you.

Have you heard of bookmarks?

Firebird for me.

Please don't ruin your car over a $30 part.

The thing is, it's only a $10 part at walmart.

You just do it like 3 weeks later. They'll have no idea.

If you're making a switch to linux, that means you have hardware compatible with linux--thats a given.

Flip the script: Is it ever a windows problem that windows won't install on a RaspberryPi?

Where are the roller bearings? (Aka wheels within wheels)?

Kill the p2w whales and you kill shit games

Pan. These folks are pansexual and non-gender conforming.

Beyond that it's a free-for-all.

Whether they prefer pronouns or not is individual to them. Whether they identify as lesbian or not is up to them. Whether they embrace "queer" as a rollup identity or not is up to them.

You're asking all these questions like they care to answer them. They do not. They want to do their own thing and be their own best version of themselves and date like-minded people.

We live in an unprecedented time of compromising pluralistic societies and international cooperation.

This guy: "lets go back to tribalism"

But Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014

See, in Florida: the further north you go, the more Southern it gets.

I had to look it up:

Florida: 170,310 km^2

Italy: 301,340 km^2

And there so much more italy north of Florence, the peninsulas really might be about the same area?

19.99€ I spent on Minecraft in 2011.

About 8000 hours of entertainment.

Why are you disregarding my idea without providing any effort or ideas of your own?

The sodium content required to make it taste good suggest otherwise

How much harder is it to steam frozen vegetables and air fry a healthy protein?

You'd be eating real food and had to do all of what--wait 8 minutes instead of 5?

Usually they're just talking about the sodium levels.

Vacuum cleaners are the classic example, IMO.

When introduced, they were supposed to make cleaning rugs take less time, freeing time and effort for other activities, but instead housewives just cleaned their rugs more often.

And get rid of all those union jobs?

The average mexican

The average American is white and fat and 39 years old.

Does that mean all Amercans are white, fat, and 39 years old?

• There are an estimated 9 million Mayan people
• An estimated 8 million live in Guatemala.
• they speak these languages
• Through the self-rule of states in Mexico and Guatamala and the legal framework known as Indigenismo maya people have a surprising amount of autonomy and self-rule.

U cute

The biggest difference is that starbucks via doesn't start with awful coffee.

Starbucks isn't good coffee compared to some fancy pants third wave coffee, but It's not nescafe either.

Freeze drying and rehydrating might not do anything to hurt coffee flavor, but it's not going to make bad coffee suddenly taste good.

Sounds like 18 beautiful years of aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh together.

Are the Arab nations that expelled the Jews in the 40s and told them to go to Israel, going to give them their homes and citizenship back?

Didn't think so.

You're insane.
