  • Don’t feel bad … I drove down the road once in my old truck and started feeling a terrible shaking … I drove for a while hoping it would go away but it got worse. I finally pulled over and had a look at front passenger side tire … a bulge was sticking out of it like a giant bruise and once the tire stopped moving, the bulge grew ten sizes and as soon as I realized what it was, I turned away and the thing exploded!

    Always check your tires.

    Lol … the worker is a traitor, maybe … I’m never going to assign blame to a desperate person trying to find a way out of poverty. You and I would probably do the same in similar circumstances.

    But McD’s is not a traitor because they were never loyal to anyone but their shareholders to begin with.

    I don’t really mind this thought

    What’s disturbing is the thought that there are some restaurants that we’ve al visited that may or may not have properly cleaned their utensils before giving them to you to use. Which means there is a tiny chance that the fork you use at a restaurant may have been in the mouth of the person in the picture.


  • I agree … and if I ever had the choice … I’d go with Robertson or Torx for all my screws

    But we were talking about (I thought that is what we were talking about) is what common basic screw design would be common to appear in a world where no screws existed. A slot is simple and easy to make … just take a metal saw and cut one slot and voila you can turn it with a simple flat screwdriver head … simple to make, simple to reproduce … a pain in ass? yes? a universal torture device that will make your life miserable? yes?

    But if we ever end up in a situation where we have no hardware stores, no manufactured supplies, no heavy machinery, no metal stamping equipment, no heavy duty presses then cutting a simple slot across the top of a threaded rod is the easiest way to make your own screwhead and start working with using your own homemade screw driver … a pain in the ass? yes … but at least you can screw things together after the world has ended.





  • I grew up with a family that didn’t have a lot of luxuries when I was young. We had three channels on TV, so we didn’t spend a lot of time watching TV. So I didn’t get to watch a lot of pop culture content for about the first 7 or 8 years of my life.

    So one of the first memories I have as a kid is in hearing music on the radio, record player, cassette player or any sound system … I understood that it was previously recorded and performed by other people somewhere else.

    What I thought was that all the sounds were generated by human voices. Guitars? Pianos? Trumpets? Brass sounds? Violins? even Drums or percussion. I thought all of it was people just making sounds with their voices.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian so my parents didn’t have musical instruments, a couple of uncles played the guitar and fiddle … but by the time I was young, they no longer played these instruments and had them. I never knew or understood musical instruments really until I was about 8, 9 or ten. Up until then, I just thought all music was just people with amazing and usualy human voices.
