most HDTV mounts do come with screws to tighten them down. and it's relatively cheap to replace at least one of those screws with "security screws". that would have increased the time from 20 seconds to a few minutes...if the burglars were expecting it and carrying all the right driver bits and screwdrivers.

Perhaps long enough for police to respond if they had a silent alarm system, but if they had a really loud alarm, I don't think the burglars would work through that for several minutes - they would just go on to the next target.

Fuck you, George Lucas. Fuck you in the eye socket with a rusty screwdriver.

I don't know exactly what it is but most women tend to fall badly... Maybe we're more used to them looking elegant but it's magnitudes more cringeworthy than seeing a guy do the same thing...


Some people would call this chauvinism but I think it's an instinctual reaction to seeing women (potentially) hurt. We're programmed to be protective.

For anyone who isn't offended by that idea, I offer this one:

The moral of this video is, before you start your woman-empowering pole dance routine, be sure you get a man who knows how to use a screwdriver to secure the pole for you.

GOD, I love your last sentence there.

I love how he got out of the car and acted like a tough-guy douche but cried like a little bitch when he got tasered.

I am all for getting police excesses and abuse under control, but I think the cop in this case handled it amazingly well. I would have tasered him after about 30 seconds of that confrontation.

I got pulled over for having my license plate falling off a few years ago. I stayed seated, waited for the cop to come to my window and he explained that my plate was falling off. He then proceeded to get a screwdriver out of his car and FIX IT FOR ME while I stood by and watched. I guess that beats acting like a fucking douche and getting tased.

Freudians rejoice... I think he sees flying penises every night. Next he's probably stating that screwdrivers, soda bottles, roll'on deodorants and what not are phallic.. "We nust destroy every object that has a cylindrical longitudinal shape".. I read somewhere that majority of men dislike those shapes and prefer round vertical forms for ex. bowls and vice versa for women.. Not sure i agree..

Bullshit. Give me fifteen minute I would have it out of there.

Give me a flat head screwdriver,kitty liter or sand, a rubber mallet. Bobs your uncle.

The chick on the left seems to really get off on the idea of sonic-screwdrivering someones balls.

1. Use a thin screwdriver or paperclip to stop the fan from spinning.
2. Blow compressed air into the exhaust vent.
3. Use the screwdriver or paperclip to pull out any mutant dust bunnies that get stuck inside.
4. Done!

Of course, this only works if the fan is somewhat accessible from the outside.

capitalism has nothing inherently to do with representative democracy, fiat money, foreign alliances, or most trade.
the "evils of the human condition" can never be overcome either and is a ridiculous idea to begin with.


I wasn't hitching capitalism to those things, but those things to the crisis. You could very well, without much consideration, blame those things for the current situation. Or to say it a different way, capitalism doesn't change the fact that men are greedy by nature. Men were greedy in communism as well, and the ruling class ruled on high as the people starved.

I am not saying evils of man can be cured, but they have to be taken as the prime evil of the system. Screw drivers aren't evil, people who use screwdrivers to stab people in the eyes are. Capitalism isn't evil, but those who used the government to gain an unfair advantage and muscles out competition, and now use that same muscles to silence critics are.

Furthermore, I don't see how wanting to overcome the evil of men is ridiculous. What is a hero if it isn't one who stands up in the way of evil and says no? Granted, it will always be with us, but if one isn't dedicated to at least its personal eradication, then all is lost.

Not sure where up north means to you. In Ohio they might redo a road (freeway/highway) every 5-7 years unless there is some sort of catastrophic problem like supports failing or someone striking the supports. Most of the roads go longer than that for full replacement. They obviously do pothole patching and small resurfacing on roads that need it at least once a year, although this has become more of a potluck thing with the economy. Lots and lots of side streets are going un-repaired while they redo entire neighborhoods using the stimulus money. Which...this is happening because they funnel all the money through 2-3 huge road crew companies like Kokosing and these guys aren't going to hire on 4x the crew to complete the jobs quick...they will stretch it out until the economy improves so they can keep who they have working.

I can't comment on how strong this glass may be, but a lot of those "unbreakable" screens break and those "unscratchable" screens scratch. So if all it takes is a focused amount of pressure, a screwdriver or big pointy rock being run over by a loaded semi might be all it takes.

Newer finish layer asphalt, when it's black or a really dark grey is pretty flexible. Especially if it's a hot day outside, it'll flex into nearly an L shape before breaking and folding in the size a man could carry. And in truth most roads freshly installed are made up of probably 3-4 layers of asphalt, 1 or 2 base layers (rockier than finish), and probably 2 finish layers..if not more. Depends on how many times they have to redo it to make the surfaces of all the lanes smooth.

They have crazy glass man. This ain't your bay windows. You are talking titanium level resistance to heat and cold, fracture and the like. Like he said, we know LOTS about glass. It is less about "can we", and more about "how we". 15 Years for a normal road is pretty unlikely in most of the country. Up north, it is about once a year because of the extreme ice and water damage. This on the other hand could power its own deicing system most likely (which he talks about in other videos, this is old news). It is great to see that he has a working model now. I don't know if I like the idea of wireless in there, hackers and what not. I would still keep tethered control to all that, which shouldn't be hard at all. I don't know that it is reasonable for it to act like a bridge and not a road. If the water washes away its support base...like a normal road, it collapsing is par for course, roads shouldn't be over-engineered to be bridges unless the cost is free. Also, if the road has power, you could have pressure sensors on it to feel for road imbalance issues which is much better than having to deal with potholes. I wonder about traction issues in rain. It could channel water much better than asphalt, but what if it is saturated? Then again, running my own hand against this glass surface with a lot of weight has a pretty high resistance.

Let it go? He let it go?!?!?

We wear shoes for a reason - the same reason shotguns were invented. To kills spiders and other creatures with more than 4 legs.

If he wonders why he gets massive spiders, it's because he let's them go. If he killed it and impaled it on a screwdriver on the lawn for all to see, they wouldn't come around.

I've cleaned out my drain (without the benefit of a Zip-It - I used a rudimentary tool known as a 'screwdriver'), and I didn't remove nearly as much hair. Either there was more hair further down the drain than the screw driver could reach, or the man in this video is dating a muskox.


Definitely more hair further down... plus a screwdriver has no way of really holding on to any stuff down there.

I've pulled up similar amounts of stuff from my shower drain thanks to my wife's long hair.

She actually uses the screwdriver and the butt (heh heh heh "butt") of the screwdriver several times.


Four times total: 1) on the gas cylinder release to remove it, 2) on the handgrip release (lever on that small ring she moves towards the front of the barrel) to remove it, 3) on the handgrip release to reattach it, 4) on the gas cylinder release to reattach it.

She had some problems getting the dust cover back on though, so it might be a slightly damaged weapon.
