How in the world does such a comprehensive article not include JIS? It looks like it was once included but then it was removed due to poor citations. Wtf why was it not added back? It is very distinct from Philips and if you use a Philips driver on a JIS screw, it strips the shit out of it.
JIS screws are denoted by a small dimple in one of the corners of the + on the screw.
I learned about JIS this year when I got my first motorcycle. Honestly maddening how similar they look.
Screws were stripped into fucking circles by the person who tried to fuck with one part before me.
I’ve not tried to use a JIS screwdriver on a Philips head, but thanks for the tip!
Damn that’s hardcore AF! Honestly, good for you! Takes some balls to do something like that when your caveman brain is going off with alarm bells.
Like I said, hard to do that indoors. Generally people just walking around with a ski mask indoors look suspicious af. And then wearing gloves indoors makes it difficult to do things like use your phone and eat.
My fingers and toes and nose would always stay cold in the winter, even if the rest of my body was so layered up that I was sweating. It’s a bit odd wearing a ski mask indoors and wearing super thick gloves indoors is not always feasible either depending on what you’re doing (eating, etc.). I compromised a bit with fingerless gloves, and it helped a bit, but not as much as I would have liked. And yeah eating foods with your hands just wasn’t doable that way.
Idk. I’m one of those people that is always too cold. I live in a hot climate now and it sucks major major balls for riding a motorcycle (just learned recently), BUT I prefer this environment in every other circumstance.
I went through a period of time in grad school where this feeling was so strong that it was absolutely affecting my ability to sleep. My bed was in the middle of the room. The headboard was facing the wall. One side of the bed had a view of a window and the other side a view of the door. The bed didn’t really fit in a different orientation because the room was an incredibly strange shape.
No matter what, I could not figure out which side to face to stop the very strong sensation of something being there. I kept having to open my eyes to “check” that nothing was there. I would toss and turn and struggle to make the feeling of being watched go away. I would sometimes swear I heard something breathing. Sometimes I would sleep on the floor…dunno why that felt like it would sometimes do something. Maybe I was able to orient my back to a wall or something idk.
Glad that finally went away. I think I was under extreme stress or something. I also had relatively frequent bouts of sleep paralysis. But I cannot tell you how terrifyingly strong that feeling of demons coming to get me was, even though my rational mind knew there was nothing there.
I had a fear of the dark as a child though, even as an older child. Some nights I would go sleep on my younger brother’s floor because I would get scared. So I had always had some issues with this. But this was dialed up to like 11. One time I couldn’t sleep for multiple days during this grad school period.
Been fine since tho lol.
It still does in my area. Not every grocery store, but the big grocery chain around here definitely does. Sometimes they even offer to take my groceries to the car for me which has surprised me.
My grandma is cool.
…Cool because she’s 6 feet under and the ground temperature is lower there. 😔
If you are gaming with your friends online, does that really make you alone tho?
All I see online anymore seems to be bitter takes. Yours is a refreshing view and I’m finding myself wishing I could find a lot more of it.
I thought we moved to SSDs because they were more reliable?
My mom has a small dog that isn’t a yapper. They are companion animals. I don’t get what confusing about that. It’s the same as why someone might have any other type of pet. I’ve actually much preferred small, non-yappy dogs over large dogs because they are super easy to handle.
Wow it’s been a while since I’ve seen these chonky bois
What I’m getting at is these large plastic jugs of water are not just purchased routinely by the majority of the population when grocery shopping.
Have you never heard of such a concept? Some people do it because they are going camping or in case the water goes out in a storm or rarely if the water from the tap is of dubious quality.
Yeah I suspect it is something benign but similar like that. Problem is that I really don’t know that I have a way to know for sure. And anecdotally, my recurrent stomach issues significantly reduced once I stopped drinking my tap water. Mine smells like pond water tho instead of garlic lol.
No, it’s not my water heater. I had it replaced and the new heater smelled the exact same even when brand new before any possible sediment accumulation.
My tap water goes through months of smelling funny at a time where I get nervous that it is unsafe to drink. I thought about buying a filter for the tap like a Brita filter or something…but my (admittedly very minimal) research showed that these only filter out things like mineral contaminants. Bacteria and other pathogens don’t seem to get filtered out by most standard filters that people are using. It’s just that they filter out the hard water.
What do you use?
It’s really hard to parse these sorts of things. All of these before and after shots for any of these procedures are done by the people advertising them to you. Of course they are going to pick and choose things that work out well. Would be nice if there was a less biased way to research these sorts of things tbh. Interesting technique, though.
I do think it looks pretty cool…but what about washing your hands? That’s the main issue with it I’d think.
Really? This is wild. I’m in a hot part of the US and it’s 95F/35C and humid daily here. I’m honestly really surprised with how much AC blasts here that heating still takes up the majority of nationwide energy consumption.
