    Kids are pretty annoying if they aren't yours. I'd happily live in a place without them, smack and crack heads and screaming alcoholics. Unfortunately I have all of those in my estate

    Because he's obviously not using the drill correctly and the impact is easier. Sounds like he's just not putting enough pressure on the bit and letting the torx cam out and destroy it's self. Will be less likely with an impact. He's obviously an amateur or wouldn't need to ask this question so have to assume he's just doing something wrong. Didn't want to put it like that so gave him an easier option

    You need to use an impact driver for this or a proper screw gun. This is a case of the wrong tool for the job

    I imagine if I was effected then my thoughts would be different. If my house catches fire do the African kids care? We are inherently selfish creatures. And although these are my opinions I guarantee I do a lot more the help than most people who ruminate on these things. I recycle electronics for a living. I live in a 1 bed apartment and use barely any energy. I keep a 20 year old car on the road with my own labour and I have had 3 smartphones since 2007. But does any of it matter. No. I could sit in a field naked with 0 carbon footprint and it wouldn't matter one jot. I'm sorry if you took my tone as an argument that's not how I ment it.

    Whether the human race last 100 years or 100 million extinction and the death of the planet are a certainty. It won't effect me either way so why waste my short life caring about it.

    Yahoo chats was unmoderated so were most irc rooms I agree moderation is required especially to remove illegal content. I just don't think the way it's done on reddit works. The Internet was a better place when barrier to entry was a keyboard and a mouse and setting up a 56k connection

    Yes I agree and much worse for younger generations who derive their self worth from their Internet friends and followers. Sure it's caused more than a few suicides and mental breakdowns.

    I don't disagree entirely I just prefer the old days of censoring ones self. I understand with so many people online that's not possible.

    I don't really see it myself. The Internet was unmoderated for many years and went just fine. People just need to take things less seriously and use their own brains to filter content. Reddit would do just fine only removing illegal content and letting everything else be a fee for all. It might even make it grow

    I privated a sub I made years ago and deleted my account. It was reopened with new mods. Not sure how it happens but sure they will just reopen the closed subs

    Had mine installed since covid and had to replace the hose and heads twice due to leaks. Still only a fiver a go but wouldn't be ideal if it leaked when your on holiday or something.
