  • A quick primer in case you’re interested.

    Torx is a 6 pointed star pattern. There’s also a security torx with a post in the middle of the stars. Hex is just a hexagon shape. Robertson is a square. Phillips is a cross but there’s also like 5 different types of cross fasteners Phillips is just the one that most referenced in America. Slotted or flat head is just a single line across the fastener head.

    I’m sure there’s more but these are the ones I know off the top of my head and are the main ones.






  • It’s probably because they get national broadcasts. I figured with all the Ohio transplants in the NC and Florida area Cleveland and the Reds would be higher in the no man’s lands down there but same Yankees and Red Sox.

    It’s like how I’ve heard stories about Braves fans in really weird places and it’s because TBS would broadcast Braves games to anywhere in the country so people grew up seeing commercials and games for the Braves their entire childhood even though they had a far more local team.

    In case you are seriously asking this is from Wikipedia.

    Intended to bolster domestic employment and manufacturing, the tariffs instead deepened the Depression because the U.S.'s trading partners retaliated with tariffs of their own, leading to U.S. exports and global trade plummeting. Economists and historians widely regard the act as a policy misstep, and it remains a cautionary example of protectionist policy in modern economic debates.

    Soooo much much worse.







  • The price things gets me too. I was actually talking about this with a coworker a couple months ago. I live alone so I’m not doing nearly the amount of laundry that some people are doing but even then that last bottle of laundry detergent I bought cost me like 9 bucks and took a bit over 2 years to go through. I think I’m fine spending 4.50 a year on my laundry supplies.
