A lot of office buildings actually use metal studs, so these screws are used to attach them together. They’re a common enough thing that I wouldn’t be overly suspicious of anything.

Might be something about the self tapping head that makes them more likely to bite in a tire?? Just speculating there…

Looks to me like a self tapping screw which had its head broken off / worn down. You probably just picked them both up from the same spot, double check your driveway / lot

Or just buy the same mouse and replace the casing with the spray painted one

This is exactly the thing I can seem to get anyone to agree with me on … Imported goods will never become significantly more expensive than American for the reason you just said…

There’s a lot of money in figuring out the right margin below the imported product such that they’ll lose some sales but ultimately profit more because of the increased profit margins. Not that you were seriously saying it would be a dollar cheaper but most I talk with tend to think that difference is much bigger than I expect which tends toward single digit percentage differences

Yeah, it compresses better too though, and jpeg XL can be configured to compress lossless, which I imagine would also work here

Full disclosure, I didn’t watch the video yet, but it’s likely a difference of environmental impact.

He’s described in previous videos how burning gas at home is less efficient from the standpoint of a carbon footprint. I imagine this video is to help explain everything in a way that helps you come to that conclusion yourself. Teach a man to fish instead of just giving a fish and what not. So you can apply the knowledge to other things in your life

I doubt a central system would ever be viable, but they would certainly communicate to other nearby cars with more than just blinky lights

Until they call me because the setting they need isn’t in settings…

I never understood how me preferring to look at a female figure while playing a game was ever something to question…

I just use:

Remember when emails weren’t just all “@gmail.com”?? Fediverse is like that but for reddit/twitter/instagram

That’s how I use it

Freeze dryers are much less useful day-to-day so the market is much smaller which won’t really drive much of a scaling up of production like happened for microwaves I imagine

Jokes on you, they’re all fake

Is it? Try typing it to me, maybe it’ll show up normal.

A grading scale like no other

There’s a difference between being lonely and being alone. If you’re content being alone then that’s not really loneliness, similarly having people around you constantly doesn’t mean you can’t feel a lack of connection and loneliness as well.

In other words, I agree with you, but this article seems to miss this distinction…

They implied it, but yeah, I was probably reading into it too much…

Not all metal is angry…

Nelson from the Simpsons?

It doesn’t seem right, but it’s the best I could come up with…

Or worse… A dog!
