A lot of office buildings actually use metal studs, so these screws are used to attach them together. They're a common enough thing that I wouldn't be overly suspicious of anything.

Might be something about the self tapping head that makes them more likely to bite in a tire?? Just speculating there...

Looks to me like a self tapping screw which had its head broken off / worn down. You probably just picked them both up from the same spot, double check your driveway / lot

Friday Games! My team gets together and plays a boardgame. Lately it's been Gartic Phone, but we also like Code Names, Wavelength, Jackbox... Fun way to spend an hour on a friday

Or just buy the same mouse and replace the casing with the spray painted one

I just want to say while not overly friendly, my wife and I were in Belgium last year and as long as you don't insist on trying to speak English at someone who said "no English" it was a perfectly nice place to be... Even when we were off the beaten path

This is exactly the thing I can seem to get anyone to agree with me on ... Imported goods will never become significantly more expensive than American for the reason you just said...

There's a lot of money in figuring out the right margin below the imported product such that they'll lose some sales but ultimately profit more because of the increased profit margins. Not that you were seriously saying it would be a dollar cheaper but most I talk with tend to think that difference is much bigger than I expect which tends toward single digit percentage differences

Just trying to figure out how to work those blinds to let more sun in

Nah, just low effort... that paragraph he wrote is anything but....

Yeah, it compresses better too though, and jpeg XL can be configured to compress lossless, which I imagine would also work here

Full disclosure, I didn't watch the video yet, but it's likely a difference of environmental impact.

He's described in previous videos how burning gas at home is less efficient from the standpoint of a carbon footprint. I imagine this video is to help explain everything in a way that helps you come to that conclusion yourself. Teach a man to fish instead of just giving a fish and what not. So you can apply the knowledge to other things in your life

I doubt a central system would ever be viable, but they would certainly communicate to other nearby cars with more than just blinky lights

Native is always better, but Proton (what's used by steam OS to run windows games) has worked for me for every title I've tried (even some small indie titles)... Sometimes graphics settings can be inconsistent, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet if you're using an established engine it will just work with Proton
