Tiny nut on that post tightener, strips out all too easily.

The nut shoulders are already rounded.

I'll try to be positive, but it's not easy with such poor engineering.

PARF, where deplorables go to become despicables.

Acidic. Get the pun but yeah. For years I lobbied for a 1 strike and you are out super-PARF where truly intelligent discussion with some of our great minds could share in an interesting and informative debate. Everyone else can play in PARF.

I completely understand why it never happened but it's nice to dream.

Too many projects as it is. I just want to see what people like MRM and others have to say about current topics and join in the discussion. There are a lot of very smart folks here with a vast library of experiences. It's a shame we don't get to interact on that level.
