Probably more so cheaper to mold the plastic case with weak threads than any other function.

Machinist guy here!

Threads fail. Threads are generally the most likely thing to fail in any given mechanism. Generally, when the threads are expected to do more work than just sit there and not move, as in fastening a hinge for example, we try to make sure the threads are all the same kind of material.

I would never expect plastic threads to hold up to repeated use with an iron bolt inside. Something is going to give up, and it’s going to be the soft plastic threads, every single time.

Think about cheap as fuck IKEA furniture, any time they have a bolt to screw in, you install an insert first. We do the same thing in plastic, aluminum, shit even steel sometimes if we want the bolt to fail first.

Different kinds of sugar are all sugar when they get to your gut. Anything beyond “the body treats this like sugar” is just a pissing contest.

When you juice something, you’re leaving 95% of the nutrients in the fruit, extracting the sugar water, and telling yourself you’re drinking healthy. That’s just not the case. The meat of the fruit is where that stuff is at. The fact that some of it makes it in to the juice is incidental. It would be better to drink a glass of water and eat the orange, than to juice the orange. Unless you then throw the juice away and just eat what’s left of the orange. That’s probably the best thing.

Sugar is sugar.

It really doesn’t matter if it’s naturally occurring or added after the fact. It’s sugar.

Debating what kinds of sugar are better for you is kind of like debating which landmine is better to step on.

Don’t get me wrong, the occasional sugary beverage is fine. But juice is never going to be good for you. Even arguably.

Yeah no added sugar. The juice generally contains enough sugar on it’s own. Fruit juice is about as nutritious as a soda. You’re taking the sweet part of the fruit and leaving behind the fiber and other nutrients.

If the restaurant has a kids menu, it also has milk.

Most juice has a lot of sugar. The ones that don’t don’t generally taste that good.

But bottle OJ tasting like shit is a real thing, they have to do so much to it to get it to last for more than a week on the shelf that all the flavor is sucked out of it.

And diet sugar

The margins are thinner. There’s almost no resale value. Someone might buy a 60k car and eat the payments for a few years, knowing that they can sell it any time for a decent price.

Buying a 60k EV is more like setting your money on fire. The car might be fine, great even, but it just won’t hold it’s value.

Yup that’s worse… Somehow that’s worse.

I am very worried about these rules

But you CAN put it on little bumps and scrapes.

Walmart has been known to make unreasonable demands to farmers that might result in exactly this type of fuckery

Yeah. The rest of us are just indecent and happy to let the conversation go whatever way it goes.

There are better ways to say that

So Troi is half betazoid, and grew up with her mother on betazed. Where, presumably, there was no chocolate.

I know I know they have replicators and whatever. I just find it amusing that chocolate from Earth is so appealing as a flavor that less than a hundred years after joining the federation, Betazoid children are growing up loving chocolate frequently enough that Troi develops a strong taste for it.

Let’s make a compact to all use “guillotinetherich”

Not tov start another debate about the color of something online, but that looks very much like an inventory sticker. The blue ones are much lighter blue than that. That is a black sticker, and the glare bouncing off of it makes it look lighter
