Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old...

If you have a Dremel, grind a slot into it and unscrew it.

If it has a hard backing, you can place a flat head screwdriver on it, give it a few taps, apply loads of pressure and turn it out.

If none of these are possible, a drop of CA adhesive on the screwdriver head, push it against the screw, make sure there is no excess leakage, then use a quick set spray. Once the screw has been turned out, use acetone to remove the glue.

If all of this fails, you gotta drill it. A hand crank drill, and a left handed bit. People seldom have these, so I assume this is your last resort.

Final bit of advice, hit the screw head a couple of times before you try any of these as it loosens the screw a tad. Also, sharpen an old screwdriver tip to just the width and thickness of what is left of the screw head slots. You should be able to find one that is already this size in those screwdriver tip sets

Good luck.

I actually think this is a great idea. Hear me out.

They fit the hardware that you can't touch while the Motor plan is active, but when the right to repair legislation kicks in, and we start debating whether we actually own the cars we buy, all these scumbag practices will mean that any car outside of the Motorplan should be able to run cracked OS's and everyone gets free BMW features on their cars after motorplan expires.

I vote they keep going for a bit, then they get their asses handed to them with out of maintenance plan service options and 3rd party features.

We're just gonna have trash dragged on to the circuit now

Gotten even easier after X became a registered trademark. Now the only choice we have left is i. Or ii if you need more variables

I feel like the term "gay ass-fuck" was a missed opportunity over "gay AF" here

OK, I may be wrong on this one, and I may have my inbox murdered for this, but I am on the fence here. No, not because I feel the trans woman has any advantages over the other women, but in a sport like fishing, or even esports, there are women's leagues because the men dominate the current participation rosters, have better sponsors and training and equipment and therefore make it exclusionary to women. Having a women's league promotes being more inclusive in the sport and creating a level (not fair, level) playing field for those who would typically not get the opportunity to compete.

I know this is further complicated by the fact that trans people are even more marginalized than women, and should therefore have more encouragement to participate in these competitions.

My view is that I would let the trans woman participate, I just also get the fact that some people may have reasonable feelings relating to why they feel this kind of thing does a disservice to them. But then there are other people who are just discriminatory assholes. I get that too.

OK, a lot of clarity there, thanks.

By wdc I thought you meant the drivers championship and not Verstappen himself. Makes way more sense. Also, I didn't know about Newey and Ford. Crazy week man

Wait, redbull may lose a wdc? For what exactly? Also, why would they lose their chief designer? Is Adrian Newey leaving? I feel like I am missing something

Shame guys, maybe Elon really isn't ok and all he really needs is a hug, and someone to tell him he is a good dad.

Also, Elon, if you're reading this, I will tell you whatever shitty lies you wanna hear, in the most convincing tone you need to hear it, if you give twitter back, free of charge, to it's prior owners

So what you're saying is that he wasn't the good guy with a gun?
