FUB (aka imperial / avoirdupois) to me, is just like this, but with different words:

M-TKP TRUCKS : Get smooth with high speed !

It’s easy as pie.

Seventeen sixty-fourths of an elbow-chariot is equal to a bushel-knuckle.

Unless you’re in the UK, then it’s just seventeen sixty-sevenths of an elbow chariot is equal to a bushel knuckle.

For liquids, obviously. Everyone knows that.

For dry goods, simply use the Fourth Revised Charles Helck Conversion System. For most dry goods it just means that twenty-three sixty-fourths of an elbow-chariot is equal to a bushel-knuckle. Unless the dry goods are cereal grains, when it’s simply two-sevenths more. And obviously in the UK you have the bushel-knuckle adjustment system where on cloudy days you pack them nine-thirteenths as full to make up for the lack of sunlight. Everyone knows that.

This system is so good, it’s gotten us to the moon and back.

…and this is coming from someone in the USA. I can only imagine what other countries see.

oh i read this one before, i did find it very funny. its all in what your used too.

xsynatic · May 13, 2021, 8:36pm

It depends. I can definitely say i stripped many phillips heads, but never a flathead. I do however struggle to keep the screwdriver bit inside the grove while turning, especially with an electric screwdriver.

use a sanding disc to cut the groove deeper

xsynatic · May 13, 2021, 8:46pm

that’s not the problem, rather the bit moving to the outside/sliding out.

xsynatic · May 13, 2021, 8:46pm

also at that point i might just get the correct screw

frame · May 13, 2021, 8:50pm

exactly, u should

Basically this,
but it get even worst when you have to make a convertion: no other choice than to use some random web app,
Then you hit your head on the walls until.you understand that the dot and the coma are not interchangeable and won’t be working the way you intend to

Embrace the Metric we use both the imperial and the metric but it depends on what we measure! Or weigh or scale (Canadians will understand)

Paul77 · May 13, 2021, 11:11pm

I do, I really just say that stuff to get ol Brian @b264 worked up

glyphiks · May 14, 2021, 5:46am

Oh I fully expected this to be the case… hence why I already laid down the groundwork to produce a suitable gasket/riser…

What deck is that?

Always looks so clean at that stage in the build

brown5tick · May 14, 2021, 8:28am

And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

glyphiks · May 14, 2021, 8:28am

Its a beauty

brown5tick · May 14, 2021, 8:42am

Oh yeah! Now I remember seeing that a while back (and lusting after the Hi5ber Raptor). I haven’t been keeping up-to-date.

I’m loving that interface between the enclosure and the deck, @janpom. You’ve turned an issue into a really useful feature! Nice work!

Paul77 · May 14, 2021, 9:32am

Damn 2 steps ahead, nice!!

Enjoyy

At the risk of being pedantic, the term flat head is being used confusingly here. Flat head is the head shape, whereas as slotted is the god awful drive type.

I only feel the need to correct his because @Savage1 and I had some unnecessarily long and vexing conversations when we first started designing our mounts due to my ignorance of this distinction. He mentioned using “flat head screws” for the handles and I too nearly yaked.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Venom121212 · May 14, 2021, 3:54pm

I appreciate this. I grew up in a philips/flat head family but that was only for describing the tool.

The phrase “flat head” became falsely synonymous with the screw in the early 90s when children would fetch screwdrivers for their parents.

I went for a Wikipedia vibe.

Not gonna lie, I had to look that word up
