Katy Perry was a riot-grrl indie-rocker before she became a pop diva.

My understanding is that workers loaded wet concrete into trucks and then walked off the job without telling anyone. They're getting sued for the thousands of dollars of damage to equipment this caused, not the economic damage caused by not working.

Edit: the article linked says there was no equipment damage, and the dispute is over the value of the wasted concrete.

I was excited for OW2 as well. I left because of locking heroes behind the battle pass.

Greed has killed Blizzard. They're like Zerg Kerrigan... they look familiar but they're corrupted to the core, and everything they do is tainted by it.

I've already done my mourning, but it felt awful at the time. Sorry you're dealing with it now.

They could always pay the API fees and get ChatGPT to write some Reddit-like comments for them to report on.

Being a mod is a labor of love. If they don't love it any more, they'll leave. They're currently trying to save Reddit from making that happen.

The execs don't seem to understand this.

Might just be overloaded. Either way doesn't look good for them.

Slugs eat my garden. They gotta go.

I'd feel the same way about moles, but I don't actually have those, so they can stay cute.

The rest of em are fine.

Maybe he should have spent more time with "that guy"

Someone did, but there's not much there atm. Couldn't figure out how to link it, but I think it'll come up on search.

Different types have different advantages and disadvantages.

Slot can be opened with stuff that isn't screwdrivers (keys, coins, etc). They can take more torque than Phillips and are cheap to make. They kind of suck to use though, the screwdriver/bit likes to slip off.

Phillips self-centers the bit, and is pretty tolerant of wrong-sized driver for the screw. It strips easily though.

Torx, square and Allen are more expensive to make and require the correct size driver, but they're higher torque and the driver doesn't slip out of the screw.

I knew a guy that was fishing on a calm summer day when a tree branch fell on him and killed him.
