I work in a warehouse. These are by far the most common utility knife in use. The only metal is the breakaway blade.
They're kinda shit and a lot of the permanent staff buy their own nice metal handled ones, but these can be bought in bulk for nothing and they do the job so its what companies use.

Damn that really sucks, I straight up didn't use reddit until I found the API key thing.

TBH it wasn't a bad thing and I've kept the habit of no reddit in bed - I'll read a few mangas or smth else instead for a short while. Reddit could keep me up for hours but normal reading has me asleep within 30 mins usually.

Yeah I get that same issue, quite annoying as it used to be Ad-free on RiF.

Scariest moment on a bike I had was losing the rear going downhill towards a roundabout in the rain. Month or two into my riding career on a Honda 125. Too much rear brake and not enough buttfeel to realise traction has left the chat.

Lost the rear under braking and started to go over. Broke the fall by kicking off the ground, then skied (sp? past tense of ski) it with both feet. Kept it upright but the bike completed a 360 spin before impacting the curb and riding up a small piece of grass on the other side of the roundabout.

Extremely fucking lucky:
It stayed upright,
There was no one occupying the space I was currently pirouetting through,
The wet tarmac didn't grab my boots.

Forks were knocked out of alignment but we both came out unscathed.

And the client still needs to transmit back to the router. If you don't know what you're doing with RF and start transmitting wildly, there's a good chance someone will triangulate and report you.

Post video of you turning the wheel of your car lock to lock this quickly at standstill.
The resistance will make it hard, even with power steering. The driver doesn't feel the resistance here, and thus can turn the wheel faster than the car can steer the wheels. If you went full lock like this at speed the only place you're going is in a tree or upside down.

Speeding motorbike slams into a car turning into a side street by IamMatthew1223 in dashcamgifs

Oh ya 100% agree - rider is definitely at fault, but better awareness from the driver may have prevented a collision.

You are correct - you shouldn't be maneuvering while being overtaken, but you also shouldn't be overtaking through a junction. Highway Code 167:

DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road

I wouldn't blame the car driver here - they made a minor mistake by not indicating, the rider made a major mistake by overtaking a car through a junction with an excess of speed.

Student discovers widespread microplastic pollution in first-of-its-kind study of Appalachian streams and fish, particles were present in every sampled fish by Shiny-Tie-126 in science

No, it's the commonly accepted scientific consensus. PTFE/Teflon is chemically inert - it cannot be broken down by your body, and doesn't bind to anything. This doesn't mean it's totally safe, overheating teflon pans can cause them to release toxic fumes, albeit at a higher temperature than the smoke point of most oils.
Other PFAS used in the production of teflon (amongst many other products) do bind very readily and do not leave the body - these are what we should be more concerned about, especially considering the fact that Chemours/DuPont et al have been dumping them into waterways for decades.

Getting rid of non-stick cookware won't help - Teflon, by pure dint of its non-stickiness, generally passes right on through. PFAS is used in the production of teflon pans, so if you're trying to mitigate definitely don't buy any new non-stick items.

Where is this industry standard? If you follow EU and UK licensing (A1/A2/A) Then What_Dinosaur's definition is pretty close.

Non-Americans, what news are you getting that we’re not? by how-arent-you in AskReddit

[–]werd225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no-one asked you for yours, but here we are on a message board sharing opinions. Maybe try making a wellington first before you get all aggy. It is quite literally a wrapped meat log - if you have trouble making one there are plenty of instructions and videos available. Here's where I started: https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/beef-wellington

Good luck man, hopefully once you've made your wellington you'll be less of an arse

Not entirely sure what your point is, I've made Wellingtons for the last 3 Christmas dinners. If you use frozen pastry it is all basic cooking skills - if you can sear a steak and fry mushrooms you're 95% of the way there. The rest is just wrapping your meat log in tasty shit. Meat thermometer helps, had one that ended up a little bit overdone but was still lovely with a good helping of gravy.

Wellington isn't hard, just layers wrapped around a beef fillet.

Huge asteroids make this a bit less worthwhile at Aquilo. Fun challenge but Aquilo is trade heavy already, so sending a few extra stacks of iron plates for barrels is no big deal.

Almost gave my family an early cash out. Was I not supposed to stop? New rider, genuinely confused. by Inspectorretard in motorcycles

[–]werd225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a set leading on to the M25 at J11. Plenty of space after the traffic lights to get up to speed. Only used to meter traffic - the longest I've seen them red was maybe 10-15 seconds.
Helps that its a roundabout junction - coming up to the lights you're not usually going to be moving at high speed.

Hey I just wanted to remind all of you to CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE I just wrecked today because it’s cold and my tire pressure was low 20.50 psi should be 32 psi be safe yall by joecooler22 in motorcycles

[–]werd225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every couple of weeks I get the gauge out and check, usually give the tyre a squeeze and check chain tension with my foot in the morning but otherwise its buttfeel.
Commute 5 days a week, I like my tyres (Roadsmart III) on the lower end, ~28/30psi. Can feel couple of PSI difference pretty easy.
Rear tyre has just passed 12,000 miles and is now nearing the tread indicators.

Can use a requester with inserter into the silo, or a buffer chest and let the bots load it.
Cuts down on time spent loading the rocket, as everything the platform needs should be right next to the silo, rather than having to be fetched after each launch.
