Probably more so cheaper to mold the plastic case with weak threads than any other function.

Machinist guy here!

Threads fail. Threads are generally the most likely thing to fail in any given mechanism. Generally, when the threads are expected to do more work than just sit there and not move, as in fastening a hinge for example, we try to make sure the threads are all the same kind of material.

I would never expect plastic threads to hold up to repeated use with an iron bolt inside. Something is going to give up, and it’s going to be the soft plastic threads, every single time.

Think about cheap as fuck IKEA furniture, any time they have a bolt to screw in, you install an insert first. We do the same thing in plastic, aluminum, shit even steel sometimes if we want the bolt to fail first.

Potato cure sadness. If standard potato does not, fermented potato will do

But potato love you

I am the potato

No. To both things. POST OR REMAIN

I tried to be active on writing prompts back in the other place, years ago.

So many of these things are written in first person that it’s grating to the eyes.

You mean like a boat? Like they use already?

Illegally parked, no less

His first attempt was in 2000 with Jesse Ventura in the reform party.

I had the same problem and spent 15 years in shitty customer service jobs before quitting and going to trade school.

It’s worked out really well.

Consumers have limited visibility into the conditions under which their products are made

This is by design.

Different kinds of sugar are all sugar when they get to your gut. Anything beyond “the body treats this like sugar” is just a pissing contest.

When you juice something, you’re leaving 95% of the nutrients in the fruit, extracting the sugar water, and telling yourself you’re drinking healthy. That’s just not the case. The meat of the fruit is where that stuff is at. The fact that some of it makes it in to the juice is incidental. It would be better to drink a glass of water and eat the orange, than to juice the orange. Unless you then throw the juice away and just eat what’s left of the orange. That’s probably the best thing.

Sugar is sugar.

It really doesn’t matter if it’s naturally occurring or added after the fact. It’s sugar.

Debating what kinds of sugar are better for you is kind of like debating which landmine is better to step on.

Don’t get me wrong, the occasional sugary beverage is fine. But juice is never going to be good for you. Even arguably.

Yeah no added sugar. The juice generally contains enough sugar on it’s own. Fruit juice is about as nutritious as a soda. You’re taking the sweet part of the fruit and leaving behind the fiber and other nutrients.

If the restaurant has a kids menu, it also has milk.

Most juice has a lot of sugar. The ones that don’t don’t generally taste that good.

But bottle OJ tasting like shit is a real thing, they have to do so much to it to get it to last for more than a week on the shelf that all the flavor is sucked out of it.

And diet sugar

The margins are thinner. There’s almost no resale value. Someone might buy a 60k car and eat the payments for a few years, knowing that they can sell it any time for a decent price.

Buying a 60k EV is more like setting your money on fire. The car might be fine, great even, but it just won’t hold it’s value.

It is that hard.

I fucking hate gardening. Fucking hours of work, thousands of dollars in tools and materials to beg a plant to grow because it can’t be fucked to grow on it’s own. Only to watch it die and it’s fruit rot on the stem because of some Norwegian small nosed stink beetle that’s invaded the garden. OH WHAT A LOVELY HOME I’VE MADE FOR YOU YOU LITTLE FUCK.

I just wanted to make salsa. I could have had salsa any time. Months ago I could have had salsa. I could have made my own. I could have been bougie and gone to the farmer’s market and gotten all the things I tried to grow and made my own salsa.

Instead I made food for bugs and mushrooms.
