Fascinating idea. I bet that’d be a hit with the weighted blanket crowd

Drinking iced beverages in extreme heat is a good way to get heatstroke.
Your thermoregulation sense will think you’re cooler than you are, and you’ll stop sweating.
Seems counterintuitive, but hot drinks in hot weather is wiser
There’s no wisdom there, dumbass. They build it that way because it’s cheap.

I don’t buy AAA games. Because paying for a code and waiting four hours for the rest of the game to download is bullshit.
My biggest gaming spending spree in the last five years has been on itch, and I can make my own physical copies of those

YES. THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE SHOULD BE KILLED. Every single fucking one of them. Root and fucking branch.

In my mind, hauling ass means to go as fast as possible, generally dangerously so. There usually is a solid reason for it, like escaping something, making it somewhere on time when you’re already late. I’d say it’s under strain, but the strain isn’t that you’re carrying a load, it’s that you’re pushing your vehicle or yourself to its limits, or perhaps beyond them.
Well, you’re a bot I guess. No one I know loves it. Or uses it for much beyond playing around and trying to get it to be stupid. One friend said she used it for apologizing to people, but stopped when that backfired

Getting DEET at a high enough concentration to be effective is difficult as hell, Zero, countem fuckin zero OTC bugsprays offer it higher than 15 percent, and 20-25 percent is where it actually starts to matter. Further, that’s only a deterrent, and I have been in places where the swarm is so thick you kill bunches just by clapping.
We’re not even getting into the midges, which are small enough to breeze through mosquito netting

Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can’t crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw
Though, I’ve never seen a pull saw you can play with a bow

0·7 months agoThere’s no glue or epoxy on earth I’m aware of that will hold on metal well enough to handle the force of unscrewing a bolt.
You might solder nuts to either side, that might hold and be reversible.
The suggestions of drilling it out also won’t work well, if it’s already spinning in place, it will spin faster.
I know you don’t want to, but cutting a slot is your best bet. If you do it clean, it’ll just look like a screw. You could replace with a rivet if you really need a non-screw look for the finish






Oh fuck right off. Of course they do.
I’m still going to eat.
