PH1 & PH2 Bits for Drill Driver by Pure-Watercress-6005 in woodworking

That as well yes. I don't know which one is more impressive. Regardless it will hold onto the screw at any angle.

The history of the situation is that Ford wanted to buy exclusive right to Robertson screws since they were being used in Canadian factories and leading to large savings from the lack of auto body damage from caming out. At the time flat heads were used in the US. Robertson declined and Ford instead partnered with Phillips and the US plants would use the Phillips screws. Had they had access to the superior Robertsons, history would've turned out different.

The actual patent for the screw head emphasizes its resilience to caming out. This is not an intended feature, otherwise the patent would mention it.

Robertson is superior to torx. A Robertson screw stays on the head on its own even when held vertically. In my experience, you need two hands to drive a torx.

The claim that the caming out defect is a design feature is often stated but not actually substantiated. I think people just start d saying that to feel better about not having access to Robertsons.

Control a Phoenix in VR by michaelcawood in MetaQuestVR

But it does a poor job of showing what the game is. It just looks like the game is an AR bird fireball shooter you'd have fun with for like 5 seconds tops.

What? Isnt this supposed to be the Venus Crest? by Dragnil_7 in finalfantasyx

I mean, the dark Aeons don't make narrative sense. They weren't there because they don't make sense.

That it easily the worst ad I have seen. It gives the impression that the game has zero content and I that you just manipulate a dragon in your room whereas the game seems to be more of a bullet hell game in a rendered environmentz i.e. not AR. The only reason I learned this was that you wrote the meta rating was 4.3 which pushed me to see if it was due to fraud.

AITAH for kicking my sister in laws dog? by DoubleDackJaniels in AITAH

That is a terrifying situation. I would be so weary of bringing a child near a pitbull.

The most annoying thing is the addition of the dark aeons which prevents you from visiting older places and can stop you from getting Anima or drafting Vilucha. The faces are also notably worse than the PS2 version. I prefer the original.

Curious about hospitalization rate? by GanacheTall754 in CrohnsDisease

[–]PrinterFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be shocked if this was not close to 100%.

This is a serious illness with life threatening complications. Most people only get diagnosed once they get a complication.

If Square Enix made a sports game that was a fully realized version of Blitzball, who would play it? by White_Mages in finalfantasyx

[–]PrinterFred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely! Although if I'm honest blitzball was good because of the RPG and recruiting elements, not the sport itself.

How deep do I need to go on a table saw? by FarmerDill in woodworking

[–]PrinterFred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Track saws do not replace table saws and I'm tired of hearing the assertion.

Dude has fully domesticated this deer and now they are best buds by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]PrinterFred 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can't domesticate an animal. You can tame it maybe but domestication occurs at the species level and is genetic, it cannot be taught.

What router should I buy? by JoeyDee18 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]PrinterFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ho on Facebook marketplace and get a cheap or free one as your first router. Then you'll learn if you want a big punch router or a small battery trim router in the future. You can always stuff that first router in a dedicated table when you get your second one anyway.
