small screws in general are just easy to strip
Hexes are very sturdy. I ride mountain bikes and for some reason brake rotors are secured with Torx while all other screws are hexes. Torx on rotors are usually tightened to 4-6Nm and they are single use 99% of the time. At the same time there are plenty of hexes of the same size which are tightened to 8-10Nm and there are zero issues.
Torx are fucking useless. And don’t get me started on tiny Torxes in laptops…
When you have an FPTP voting system, many people don’t vote for, they vote against. Plenty will see Biden calling Zelensky a Putin, then this and… Good luck, Americans!

Torx can’t hold shit. They’re single use screws.
Torx are easier to strip, especially the smaller sizes. They’re pretty much single use screws.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Wes Streeting announces independent probe into performance of NHS3·1 年前I’d recommend you to learn about Bismark model before arguing. Germans pay more per capita, sure, but their healthcare also includes full dental care and plenty of strategic excess to ensure that everyone gets treatment as soon as possible. That’s how Germany was able to support the UK and the rest of Europe with ventilators during the pandemic.
That person should try to eat a medieval peasant bread sometime. It was made from a coarse meal, not refined flour. It wasn’t leavened. And it had zero salt inside. It also had sand in it. The taste of that shit is god awful and it destroys your teeth.

You’re assuming that people in Gaza have consistent access to the internet. The beauty of Skype is that you can call a landline through it.

Fasteners are standard from rotor manufacturers. I have no clue what they’re made out of. But in 30 years of cycling I’ve never had a single Torx which would last more than one cycle of screw in screw out.
