Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old...

If you have a Dremel, grind a slot into it and unscrew it.

If it has a hard backing, you can place a flat head screwdriver on it, give it a few taps, apply loads of pressure and turn it out.

If none of these are possible, a drop of CA adhesive on the screwdriver head, push it against the screw, make sure there is no excess leakage, then use a quick set spray. Once the screw has been turned out, use acetone to remove the glue.

If all of this fails, you gotta drill it. A hand crank drill, and a left handed bit. People seldom have these, so I assume this is your last resort.

Final bit of advice, hit the screw head a couple of times before you try any of these as it loosens the screw a tad. Also, sharpen an old screwdriver tip to just the width and thickness of what is left of the screw head slots. You should be able to find one that is already this size in those screwdriver tip sets

Good luck.

I actually think this is a great idea. Hear me out.

They fit the hardware that you can't touch while the Motor plan is active, but when the right to repair legislation kicks in, and we start debating whether we actually own the cars we buy, all these scumbag practices will mean that any car outside of the Motorplan should be able to run cracked OS's and everyone gets free BMW features on their cars after motorplan expires.

I vote they keep going for a bit, then they get their asses handed to them with out of maintenance plan service options and 3rd party features.

We're just gonna have trash dragged on to the circuit now

Ok, I'll go first... Who the fuck says 2 million and 300 thousand? Either say 2.3 million, or 2 300 000 or even two million and three hundred thousand. Fuck it, even two point three million would work. But 2 million and 300 thousand? You're the fucking alien dammit!

I get the security issues, sure, those are valid, but the privacy ones are even worse. Imagine a teenager trying to search information on being gay, or possible intrusive thoughts on their family computer, only for their super maga right wing parent to find it in the screenshots.

Or someone being abused at home and searching for support facilities, deleting history and being outed by recall.

Wait, how about credit card fraud as a result of EVERYONE who has access to this computer can read your cc data?

Or, my husband was looking at jewelry online yesterday and he hasn't told me, he must be cheating, right? Oh sorry, I forgot, our anniversary is next week... Hahahaha, don't be upset babe.

Best one ever though, imagine your search history, your porn watch history accessible to anyone with access to your computer? The fucking horrific existence of having an employer process this data at scale using fancy staff monitoring program 7, and run stats on the fact that you had a toilet break while working from home, and they want to know if it was a number 1, or a number 2 so they can work a mean time to shit metric into your KPA/scorecard.

Guys, whatever benefit you think this is. It's not worth it.

I hate to break it to you brother, but that guy was not sent to heaven.

Also, self defence argument holds here. Someone was running his mouth, he also ran his. Someone threw a punch, he returned fire. No escalation. Self defence

This is the way

Why did people find your amazing mathematical achievement amazing? Racism. Sexism... Oh yeah, also because we're young. So not because it's cool, it's hard and it's amazing? Nope, just because we happen to be black girls in school, and did this in America...

Such sadness man. Even the bit about people saying African Americans don't have the brains for it or something. Wow, it's sad.

Gotten even easier after X became a registered trademark. Now the only choice we have left is i. Or ii if you need more variables

This article may be clickbait, and it may or may not be a true representation of which is actually more risky, but I want to say that I am sorry for my role that we, as men, have played to let it get to the point where this isn't considered a stupid comparison and I am both saddened and deeply sorry that women are made to feel this way.

Nope, disagree. I don't think mods need to be payroll as full time staff, but I think the lack of compensation is what is contributing to reddit being shit.

Much like YouTube involves people who are willing to make content and drop it on YouTube for free, the truth is that most of the really high quality content would not be there if the creators couldn't monetize their work, and that's because their work costs time and money.

Reddit mods should be entitled to remuneration if the sub generates certain amounts of traffic and content, and then they should be entitled to a set percentage of advertising revenue generated from that sub.

Mods will be better, reddit will be better. Not great, because that asshat spez is still there, but better.

 

Not sure if I should be more concerned that I have snakes around, or more concerned that I have spiders who are capable of hunting them and dragging them up into my garage roller doors. I have also found a scorpions almost a meter up from the ground in their webbing
