Unleash the Archers says Bandcamp is the way to go
Duuuude! I bought their last two albums on Bandcamp. 
They are so 
it hurtsā¦ power metal done by people who justā¦ canātā¦ helpā¦ being so basically nice you still hear itā¦ 
ā¦better stop with the Gen-X moment before @anon61221983 barfsā¦ 
Apex and Abyss are excellent metal storytelling albums! Power metal with heart. Gotta love it!
I mean, you have to laugh at this part from the article:
As always, customers with questions about their shipments can track their packages by visiting fedex.com."
So when they typed in their tracking numbers, did it show them a ravine?
They mention property theft, but the driver should also get something for illegal dumping, I think.
Iām so sorryā¦ Iām sure it will all go well but thinking good thoughts your wayā¦
And the carcinogen in question is benzene. You have to watch those small aromatics because they are nice and flat and can pi stackā¦ ergo DNA intercalating agents. It is definitely a carcinogen and something that the layperson should avoid. The products should be recalled and the manufacturers deserve to eat shit over this. That being said, it registers pretty low on my personal scale of dangerous things I have worked with in the lab.
I finally decided to replace the ancient and broken humidifier on the furnace. (The burning nostril sensation was a tip-off.)
Picked up a Honeywell replacement at Home Depot, get home, carefully take all the parts out of the box, follow the instructions to disassemble the humidifier. Get down to the two last screws for the side plates that need to be swapped.
Hex head screws? WHO the FUCK uses hex head screws on USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS?!
Never mind āRight to Repairā, I want āRight to Installā!
The closest hex key isnāt quite right, so Iāll have to fight the screws out, probably stripping the POS in the process. Hopefully I have some Robertson replacements.
You can buy a cheap enough hex set at a local hardware store. I was at Home Depot a couple of days ago, and they were pretty inexpensive.
At an auto parts chain in the discount bin, I found a box set of screw tips for every torx, hex, ellipsis, and security screw imaginable. I feel lucky every time I use it.
IKEA.
Bicycle manufacturersā¦
Yes, but they supply the hex key.
But why should I make another run to Home Depot and buy a tool thatāll only be used twice while I own it, just to install a home appliance?
It wasnāt a hex head. It was a Torx 20. WTF? Those screws hold two bits of plastic together, thereās no special torque requirement, and itāll never be unscrewed again. One of those straight-Phillips garbage screws would have done the job.
Meh. I have a set of Torx drivers, used once before to take a Palm apart.
Not at all unusual these days either.
Fortunately still rare in Canada, and Iād replace them on general principles if they ever needed to touched again.
I guess there are worse aspirations than being remembered as the King Canute of screwdriver bits, but stillā¦
I wonder if FB lets us āpraiseā Michael Reinoehl
But the fact that is can be toxic from dermal absorption, and is found in products meant for application directly to the skin, is cause for concern. There are much worse, but this aināt good.
