| Linus tech tips: screwdriver hype. |
| << < (5/10) > >> |
| TheSteve:
I hate all universal screwdrivers. I find them tolerable in an emergency kit only. |
| AlfBaz:
I am an electrician and use screw drivers for a living. I couldn't think of anything more useless than a ratchet mechanism for a screwdriver. Perhaps one of those push to turn types might be beneficial when having to address a lot of screws other than that those loose twist bits on the end of the handles of small jewellers screw drivers are on the verge of being useful |

BTW Project Farm tested it, and it's actually one of the best ratcheting screwdrivers. --- End quote --- I don't think you could know if I'm annoyed (about a screwdriver? Annoyed? Lol). You don't have the luxury of mind-reading, and since I'm a stranger and all you have to go on is a very superficial level of perception, and you've extrapolated the rest (as has the entire populus of those who berate members for having strong views, with which they don't agree) ... Oh well, I'll let you think I'm "annoyed" then. Okay. Pack behaviour and peer pressure is hilarious in eevblog forums. So many attacking others for the very things they are blind to (often to a far worse degree!) in themselves. --- End quote --- I can’t tell whether you’re just trying to gaslight everyone by claiming you’re not annoyed, or whether you’re actually unhinged enough to not recognize that you’re annoyed, and actually believe you’re not. Yes, you’re annoyed. The fact that you took time to write a nastygram about the damned thing makes it clear. Your choice of words make it clear. Everyone is tired of your stupid threads to complain about stuff. And you were warned to stop doing so less than 2 weeks ago. --- End quote --- When did you major in psychology, or mind-reading? You’ve literally no idea what I’m thinking, how I feel, where I live or who I am. If I may humbly offer a little advice which I’m pretty sure you’ll ignore, since you presume to know me and know my feelings (which is preposterously impossible). Nonetheless, here’s some advice, up to you what you do with it: Don’t TAKE offence if it’s not being given to you. Don’t wilfully allow random strangers online to wind you up and steal your peace. I post because I want to post, and I’m sure that I make my fair share of mistakes. However, I expect the intelligence and maturity of those reading, will afford them to see the wisdom in not taking to heart what some random stranger writes - this should be the case EVEN MORE so if the post isn’t directly and explicitly addressed to the person taking the offence (that wasn’t given in the first place). I have strong views. Sorry you don’t agree with me. You’re clearly unaware that despite my being negative or moaning a fair bit (which I’m not gonna deny), maybe you’ve yet to meet the SERIOUSLY vile, nasty and disturbed regulars I see here, and whom have a truly cold and vindictive manner of response. I’m not one of those, but nonetheless, if you disagree with my approach WALK ON BY. You’re not held against your will, tied to a chair at gunpoint. I’ve had to force myself to stand back and laugh, whenever people “get offended” by such utter piffling trivia online, usually forums and Twitter, because you have to WANT to be angry, and that says more of the one taking offence than the one unintentionally showing “anger” as you so firmly believe of me. I’ve nothing to prove to a stranger, and I’d maybe counsel you to not feel you have to justify yourself to anyone, so long as you’re also not being ghastly and deliberately rude or attacking someone personally. As I’ve often seen parroted on this very forum “we are very opinionated engineers” and “grow a thick skin and put up with it” or variations thereof, yadda yadda. Now, either that’s true, or it’s hypocritical as certain members pick and choose to whom that applies. In either case, I’m a stranger to you and I shouldn’t ruffle your feathers. You’re one to me, and with the utmost respect to you and to everyone else here, I respect your views and talents, but your opinions of me are meaningless, and my need to “justify” my views ain’t ever gonna happen - why would I, so long as I’m not being vile and cruel or plain nasty? I wouldn’t and won’t defend a passionate feeling for a subject. Don’t like it? Don’t have to read it, do you. |

Don’t have to read it, do you. --- End quote --- Even though I state this myself sometimes, even did in this thread, it is flawed in the sense that to know if you don't like it, you have to read it first. But tooki is right in the sense that you have been asked by Dave to not do it anymore, and you said that you would double check before doing it again. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/unnecessary-look-at-me-tv-show-titles/msg4451464/#msg4451464 I guess that double checking went out of the window fairly quick did it not? Since you started yet another one today. If only you showed that you have actual skills on any of the subjects you judge on, it would not be so bad, but I don't see them. But when I pointed that out in a thread you started you ran to the moderators to have it removed on some technicality. For the ones that missed that, it was the thread were he asked a very simple question about some arduino programming. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/programming/esp32-(arduino-on-platformio-serial-println-error)/msg4456372/#msg4456372 There I wrote that it was a simple question for a guy who claims to know it all and provided evidence as such by quoting from other threads, which seems to be frowned upon. The claims he made in his posts below make you think that he is quite the programmer, but the question asked proofs different. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/programming/python-becomes-the-most-popular-language/msg4456414/#msg4456414 https://www.eevblog.com/forum/programming/the-next-generation-of-programmers/msg4456423/#msg4456423 |

Don't we all make mistakes? Find something more productive to do than place yourselves in the feigned roll of high court judge. We're all human, we all have flaws. Focus on doing YOUR best and I'll keep trying at mine. We all fail daily, and yet none is better or worse than the other. We are all fallible. There is no "upper limit" on making mistakes and doing silly things. Placing oneself in a self-appointed role upon supposed "moral high ground" on a high horse, only means one thing: you're seen by more people when you're raised up and shouting dictates, and will fall harder and be scrutinized MORE when (and not if) you fall, and for the smallest of reasons, since you'll be held to a higher standard since it is a higher standard you demanded of others, and such we reap as we sow. We're all human. The best thing for each to do is keep in our own lane and try to make sure WE don't crash. |
