minus-squareOptionallink6•3 days ago Flat head screws should be cast into the 5th level of hell from whence they came. I have no idea why anyone would voluntarily use them iirc they were designed in the middle ages to keep the knight’s armor secured. holy crap they’re from somewhere around the 8th century BC. So . . . yeah it was a good run, but we got torx now, and also gameboys and EVs and cheap and plentiful [your favorite beverage]. To improvements!
minus-square@FourPacketsOfPeanutslink5•edit-23 days agoPodcast idea: Two casual DIY guys with a beer each name and shame fixtures and fittings still being sold with flathead screws and lament the slower adoption of better screw head forms. We’ll call it “Torx Talk”.

Okay, but only if there’s a shit ton of laughing.
