@TheEvilGreebo I don't read question bodies, only titles.

@TheEvilGreebo Euclidean geometry only exists in concept. There is no such thing as a right angle or parallel line in any constructed object. Which is why the 45 degree stop on your mitre saw always results in a gap in your baseboard.

so then we'd have at least a unified North American inferior screw drive type

When Canadians are born, we're given a Robertson driver set along with our Tim Horton's gift card.

If you ask for something, and the guy you asked hands you the correct thing. You're close enough.

@Aaron you're doing it the hard way...pretty sure the recomendation is to use a small explosive

@BMitch I have seen my mother vacuum a section of her lawn before
Oct 3, 2012 15:42
@waxeagle I think they're overrated, all the effort saved not dragging around the vacuum cleaner is replaced by dragging around a big hose.

@MatthewPK Does it have a 50Hz/60Hz setting?

@Tester101 he was kinda snippy in the comments too...that can be a factor
Oct 2, 2012 16:45
I dunno, @Tester101, that was the root of my friend's decision when he became bisexual, but it seems like he ends up in more situations where he's flaming these days.

@TheEvilGreebo Residential interior doors should swing both ways.

@TheEvilGreebo @Tester101 @BMitch Thanks guys! You are a huge help!

I did avoid giving the sarcastic answer that most people change their pipes in the spring and fall after checking their smoke detector batteries.

@BMitch wonder how OSHA would handle that one :)

Mystery solved; the question I linked above was lifehackered:

Or maybe we should just edit a dozen questions each until he gets bumped off the front page

Step 1: Reverse ground and hot. Step 2: Replace faceplate with metal version. Step 3: wait for children to learn their lesson. Step 4: Fix ground/hot.

It's blister packed though, so you end up in an infinite recursion.

@gregmac because quality > quantity

@ChrisCudmore With this ring, I thee shock the hell out of.
Sep 27, 2012 17:56
What!? The mechanic said he needed a new muffler hanger.
Sep 27, 2012 17:42
@gregmac: the question on cutting the beer keg was clearly off topic (I was ready to close it without discussion) but the question of how best to cut through steel is on topic. Since the question could be reduced to something that's on topic and useful to others, I let it slide. That said, I really wish the OP didn't mention the keg since it distracts from the core question.

@Aaron Wasps are not an approved grounding method. 1) because they move around too much. and 2) because they get really pissed off when you try to connect wires to them.
Sep 26, 2012 20:24
@Aaron But if your gutter has any water in it, you'll be grounded and can work on that without any issues.
