Looks to be a late-15th century prayer book, likely illuminated by Robinet Testard and owned by the Count of Angoulême.

Everybody is on the right track that Torx or Robertson are by far the best driver heads, but y’all are not even looking at the threads and shanks. Lots to unpack here. If you are allowed an angle grinder or die grinder, then going longer might be better. Hardwoods don’t like fine-pitched threads at all, and while sheet metal screws can work in a lot of wood products it’s not ideal. Then, can you countersink, or are you going to be stuck the rest of your life with screw heads standing proud of the workpiece?

This is some serious shit, you guys, and should not be reduced to “Robertson 4 LYF!” We need a couple of committees and some use-case analyses and some brainstorming on workarounds with our inevitable compromise pick. It’s gonna be exhausting!!!

I do sometimes think there is a bit of hand-wringing that happens where people glom onto the most visible sign of changing times and blame it for things that probably aren’t as different as the adults think, but by the same token most schools in richer countries have screens everywhere with school-related interconnectivity and even tools that are not unlike social media.

I see very little downside here, even if it may not result in some magic rebirth of older forms of social interaction. It seems like the major benefit from the French pilot programs was “improved atmosphere,” in which case it’s still better than nothing. Having a period when kids are learning to deal with small-group dynamics is not a bad thing, and neither is taking “dealing with phone bullshit” off the teachers’ plates.

I mean… fine? France always does things kind of top-down and there’s certainly no reason you have to have your phone readily available, and plenty of evidence it’s good to be away from it.

It’s not like they need to get to their phones to tell their parents there’s an active shooter on campus. 😐

Ahh, the rare and prized Ancho Banana.

Agreed. Can we have this article taken off the internet? I don’t want it accessible from any of my connections.

From Springfield.

Yes, but what about Italian Bobby?

It never was, but unlike the current batch of LLM assistants that are now dominating the tops of “search” results, it never claimed to be. It was more, “here’s what triggered our algorithm as “relevant.” Figure out your life, human.”

Now, instead, you have a paragraph of natural text that will literally tell you all about cities that don’t exist and confidently assert that bestiality is celebrated in Washington DC because someone wrote popular werewolf slash fanfic set in Washington state. Teach the LLMs some fucking equivocation and this problem is immediately reduced, but then it makes it obvious that these things aren’t Majel Barrett in Star Trek and they’ve been pushed out much too quickly.

…Revolt is the FOSS alternate for discord right?

Yes, or for a more limited feature set, Matrix.

I recently had a dream that involved a suburb of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have never been to Green Bay Wisconsin. I know it as a rather small city that is the home to the Green Bay Packers, an administratively anachronistic NFL team that draws a large plurality of its fan base from the greater Milwaukee area. Off the top of my head, I don’t know if Green Bay has “suburbs” in the usual American sense at all.

I googled the name of this completely nonexistent community, along with the words “Green Bay,” and the AI very confidently hallucinated it into existence, describing it as a lovely shopping and residential area just over the bridge of the same name.

You say “looming data apocalypse.”

I say, “free high quality neodymium magnets!”

Yes, but that is less fun for my dad-joke purposes.

So the one in the old fable was even more of a dick than we’d been led to believe. Got it.

It clearly pissed him off enough that he refuses to finish the next book out of sheer principle.

Perhaps the wings are articulated ribs?

I have it on good authority that you’re not old.

I poked around a few other articles. A few are identical. Most are slight variations. Few are as different as these two. My guess would be that the original submission from the author or initial editor locks in a headline for the tab/title bar, but then the CMS lets them edit what appears in the main body of the webpage.
