If it ain't broke..

I thought we got over Bricks and Screws years ago

Turns out the laws of physics and geometry are the same everywhere.

Then why would they end up with philips instead of torx?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

They get sick pleasure from inflicting stupid fastener design on their users?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even in fictional universes that have wizards in space with swords made of light?

Hey, if it works it works.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It works, but badly. All my homies hate cam-out and love torx.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It works great for it's intended purpose which is torque limiting.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Well, limiting torque but killing itself and becoming extremely hard to remove is terrible design lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Correct. The original patent makes no reference to any sort of cam out / torque limiting feature.

It is a curious fact, and one to which no one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85% of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonnyx, or gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand or more variations on the same phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian 'chinanto/mnigs' which is ordinary water served at slightly above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan 'tzjin-anthony-ks' which kill cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that the names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds. What can be made of this fact? It exists in total isolation. As far as any theory of structural linguistics is concerned it is right off the graph, and yet it persists. Old structural linguists get very angry when young structural linguists go on about it. Young structural linguists get deeply excited about it and stay up late at night convinced that they are very close to something of profound importance, and end up becoming old structural linguists before their time, getting very angry with the young ones. Structural linguistics is a bitterly divided and unhappy discipline, and a large number of its practitioners spend too many nights drowning their problems in Ouisghian Zodahs.

That reads like it's straight out of one of the Hitchhikers books

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ironically enough other standards appeared because of the need of more torque.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That’s the joke

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Huh always thought that was a self sealing stem bolt
