Interesting jeans day today. This morning i put on an old pair of holy ;-) jeans. It seems i managed to get my right leg through one one the holes and didn't notice half a denim leg flapping behind me until i went to the shop and was subtly informed of my dress code faux pas by no less than four different people.

So i corrected my error, continued through the day, ate dinner, sat for a relax and cup of tea when i felt a fluttering around my lady bits. I stood, unfastened and unzipped my jeans, slid them down and a wasp flew out. How long it had been there i just do not know but I would call that very lucky that it didn't sting me so rather than giving it a spray with my homemade wasp killer* i relented, opened the window and coaxed it out.

It's that time of year when wasps are out and non to docile.
So...
Homemade wasp killer that works better than just about anything you can buy. In a plastic spray bottle pour 10% washing up liquid, fill with water and mix gently (otherwise lots of foam). A quick spray of troublesome wasps instantly kills them. Itvworks by foaming up in the spiracles and the wasp cannot breath.

I found it, I had the wrong thread.

BTW, the search function sucks.

Ahh, then. I thought you were talking of our hornets nest.

Thought many peeps seemed to have problems with it the earch used to work great for me before they fixed it :-/

Now it's total rubbish.

Me thinks that was probably made by someone who doesn't have the appropriate bits for all those screws. Like slotted. It's terrible with slipping. But Phillips sucks with stripping.
And triwing definitely isn't chaotic neutral. That's me on a day when my mood is normal to bad. Triwing is just weird because I've only ever seen it working on some Nintendo things (they have a thing for weird screws).

Robertson isn't nearly as good as Torx,
which is stronger & affords easier insertion.
Slotted isn't neutral...it's the worst.
Lawful good is uppity, squeaky clean lame-oes like Superman. Lawful good would be security Torx because it presumable serves a purpose of security and good. Torx, for the reasons you mentioned, makes it very good but not too good and not required and extra special anything about it. It just has a good, benign existence who keeps you on the good path without being pushy about it.
Philips is chaotic neutral as will always support a proper turning but if anything is wrong it's going to let you know and potentially severely complicate things. Slotted is chaotic evil as it has an existence solely dedicated to causing pain and frustration as it sows the seeds of wrath and fury.

I started learning how to make ambigrams. It's actually rather interesting how I can feel it exercising my brain with the flipping letters around and seeing them and putting them together in different ways.

Years ago, I gave up on Phillips screws
for anything structural or large. Cam-out
is too easy, & it's too easily damaged.
Torx works far better, & is readily available
in wide variety.
Also, Phillips is easily confused with Reed
& Prince, & Pozidriv, yet compatibility is poor.

Every time my XBox kicks on by itself (which is routine and not paranormal, at least if it's plugged in), it spooks me the noise it makes kicking on suddenly and the noise of the fans whirling.

Yeah torx is da bomb. You can stick a screw onto a bit and it stays there like hand in glove. We are living in the future.

Only a sonic screwdriver could improve on it.
