Thanks. Am doofus, didn't see it.

Yay for the funnies

That's pretty awesome, good on you.

You've got me thinking about if there's any childhood things that still need soothing now I'm an adult. I like this perspective of healing afterwards

Maybe? But mouths heal so damn fast - and getting hot coffee on a wound sounds nasty

It's deep down in the throat/belly not up near the mouth, from what little experience I've had (have managed it, but didn't really learn)

Possibly the void trilogy from peter f Hamilton.

Another one with different cultures is the expanse, by James s.a. Corey. This is more different around the belters and whatnot.

Dune and the freemen are amazing. Some of the earlier parts (this is a massive topic!) are really different, with the bene Gesserit and fremen, tleilaxu gholas, etc

Certainly the culture, with it's post-scarcity absence of an economy stands out. I have read any from le guin, yet.

 

So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.

If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?

And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?

Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?
