There's a product at work where they used hex screws instead of torx that annoys me because they keep getting stripped.

How can you tell the difference?

the problem with torx is that, like all screw head designs, each size only works properly with the correct driver...but with torx, one size down will also almost fit and turn it sort of and this leads to people using the wrong size and stripping the poo poo out of both the head and driver bit. philips has the exact same problem.

hex simply does not work when you go one size down, preventing that stupid error. (unless someone has a metric screw and a set of US bits and then everything's hosed)

Strange screw heads serve a very important purpose: You put them on poo poo you dont want people opening in the field. The less likely it is something in their toolbox fits it the better

I remember loling when I saw the Xbox 360 PSU had "security torx" screws. I just snapped the pegs off with a flathead driver.

E: also I think I've either read or seen at least two examples of the writing prompt.

Oh.. not necessarily?

Adding -tastic to random words has been a thing since forever, and I don't remember a rule that the word has to rhyme with fan

Do Americans pronounce naan like nawn?

Not necessarily saying it's wrong but strikes me as a hyper correction like how they say pawsta.

Indikitch (on 23rd) was "Indian Chipotle" that I loved while I was there. Apparently it has been renamed to https://deepindiankitchen.com/ and some things business-wise seem to have changed in weird ways but it's possible the restaurant itself is still the same as it was (the menu looks mostly unchanged).
