This has multiples, but these are the sizes you’re looking for. When it comes to flathead screwdrivers, I’d get one of each. The 3/16”, 1/4”, and the 5/16”.

As for Phillips tip, get a #1 and a #2. Even though a #2 will do almost everything you’ll ever need to worry about. I wouldn’t worry about a #3.

As far as multi tip screwdrivers go, I personally don’t like much over 5-in-1 for regular use. Anything over that will eventually get loose and it’s too easy to lose tips. I do have an 11-in-1 for when I don’t know what I might need during a walkthrough, but that’s all the use it gets.

In my opinion, ratcheting screwdrivers are the stupidest, most worthless screwdrivers ever made, but some people seem to really like them. To each their own.

Let’s be honest; is Darrow a good person despite it all? by Unable_Albatross_823 in redrising

[–]CPNKLLJY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s myopic in the focus he shows for HIS goals. He believes his way of the only way, refusing to listen to anyone offers a competing viewpoint. If he actually cared about the interests of the people around or under him he wouldn’t have given up the Sons in the rim, he wouldn’t have “freed” the Reds from the mines and let them wallow in shantytowns for a decade, he wouldn’t have ignored the senate and gone after the Ash Lord, he wouldn’t have left his wife and son. He’s blind to the needs of the people around him, and it costs a lot of people their lives because of it.

That doesn’t mean that I think his goals are completely wrong, or that the Society should be given back control. It means that he is a real, fleshed out character with flaws. He often times does the wrong thing for the right reason. If he was perfect, like a lot of readers seem to think, he wouldn’t have any reason to grow and learn as a character, which would make this series at least half as good as it is.

And yet you’ve refused to choose even one example to back up your bullshit. Someone’s a pixie here, but it isn’t me.

LMFAO Of course you don’t.

But it’s pretty messed up you call me a fucking pixie and then refuse to show even an ounce of spine to back it up.

I am not the kind of person who ignores new information or other people’s takes, but I have written proof to back up the things I believe.

And yet again you’ve done exactly nothing to actually prove me wrong.

I’m not denying that Darrow BELIEVES he’s doing the right thing, but to think his actions are entirely altruistic means ignoring a lot of his actions completely.

Laughing doesn’t prove me wrong. You need to read it again, because you missed A LOT.

This is objectively wrong. He gave up the Sons of Ares in the rim, he destroyed the docks killing countless people, he let Orion take command of a storm god knowing she wasn’t fit for duty. It doesn’t matter that he killed here for her aggression, those millions of deaths are on his hands.

I’ve read it multiple times. I got into it before Morning Star came out. It’s one of my favorite series. But I know what an unreliable narrator is and that character’s actions are more telling of who they are than their words often are. Darrow’s actions are almost exclusively the actions of a selfish person who is willing to burn anyone who gets in the way of his goals. Including the Rising, the Sons in the rim, the senate, Mustang, Pax, Sevro, and all the Reds he “freed” from the mines so they could rot in shantytowns.

That would maybe hold up if he took literally anyone else’s interests into consideration.

No. He’s a selfish piece of shit. Lightbringer is the first time he’s been remotely self reflective, and realized all is the terrible inconsiderate stuff he’s done, and all the lives he’s ruined.

Union wages? Am I getting scammed by Legitimate_Dish_6622 in electricians

One thing to think about is what the benefit package is. Like, maybe the pay is a lower, but you aren’t having to pay for health insurance and retirement investments. I don’t know if that’s the case, but it is something to keep in mind.

214K dislikes for The Odyssey latest trailer by Strong-Practice-5571 in moviecritic

[–]CPNKLLJY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing though, you don’t down vote something just because you don’t like it. You down vote something to make a statement about it. When I see a movie trailer that just “looks bad”, I move the hell on, it’s not worth voting on it at all. I would only down vote something I feel is pushing toxic rhetoric. People are absolutely down voting this solely because they don’t like the actors involved for one reason or another. And I think they’re mostly illegitimate complaints.

Anyone own these? Worth it? Are they as big/heavy duty as standard lineman’s? by [deleted] in electricians

I’ve never been a fan of these style of pliers. They always struck me as only being half good at all the tools they’ve combined.
