there is no national language, and why should there be? people speaks lots of languages, and economics will probably dictate which language will be dominant as time progresses, within the states. as it stands, most technical information and science information is in english more than it is in spanish in the isa, and english has a different level of flexibility and adapts well to changes and new words. so I suppose english will probably keep its place as dominant but unofficial.

Mods, why did the word game thread get removed ?

guys, I'm really disappointed in all of you. You should all have the ability to predict which words or topics will offend any single person here. -
measurements of torque tube splines
patra_is_here replied to twojayzeestarion's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
if you stripped it out it must have been already worn a good 75%. I've seen them worn halfway down and still hold together for clutch kicks and hard driving. but, yeah, once a lot of the teeth are worn down theres not really much to hold it together. -

I just get snap on ratchets. craftmen sockets. and gear wrench or matco or bluepoint or cornwell wrenches. they all seem to be about the same. oh, and screw drivers, strictly german steel, they are the only ones that the tips don't round off quickly.

Is it really as bad as 24 Hours of LeMons says?
patra_is_here replied to Silver86's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
well, the lemons cars have to be only $500 and we all know how reliable a $500 starion will be -
idk man most of the harbor freight hand tools last about an hour. I've had impact hammers fall apart in my hand on the first use. pry bars bend instead of actually prying. and wrenched and sockets just crack in half.

there is zero evidence to suggest that you shouldn't clean your teeth. decay happens when we leave food stuck on our teeth that little critters can feed on, and subsequently that process puts holes in our teeth. my recent tooth failure was pretty much at a spot that was neglected. long work days with sugary food on my teeth and not flossing gave me a nice hole in-between two teeth. yes tooth genetics can play a part, but we do have some level of control as to how well we treat out teeth. if you think you shouldn't clean your teeth, go ask a homeless person to smile for you.

i just had to go through that. had a pain, ignored it. pain stopped. turns out the tooth died and got infected. had to get a root canal and a crown. $2400 I suggest getting it handled as soon as you can, the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets.

look how small!! it's great because since it's 3/8th drive there's a load more socket options. it's nice getting in tight spaces and using it for the low-torque jobs, then switching to a big ratchet for final torque. i've use this little ratchet on big stuff like crank pulley bolts and anything where I don't feel like swinging a larger ratchet. http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu105/nwstindy/tb/_IMG0859.jpg
