Screws fall out all the time, the world’s an imperfect place.
xkcd nails it on screws! In my day job I see a lot of different screws. There are way more screws out there in the wonderful world of mechanical fasteners than Randall Munroe even bothered to depict here, but the reactions to … Continue reading

Something for Thursday
The first Something for Thursday of 2015! Let’s start the year off with a bit of optimistic music, shall we? Here’s the overture to The Marriage of Figaro, by that Mozart fellow.
