Oh! I forgot one thing. (And I ran out of characters...)
Like last month's cafe, I got another toaster that the manufacturer insists has VERY SPECIAL SECRET SAUCE in it, because the case is held together with more "security screws". This time, rather than "security" Torx they were the triangular (not Y or trilobe) screw heads.
Jeebus, people. It's a toaster. You don't need to act like it's 1942 and it's a new highly accurate bombsight or something else that you can't afford to have fall into the enemy's hands.

Screws look beautiful and I like to make them visible in products, but I have to admit that those hidden ones have some style too! It's based on a spring loaded mechanism and were invented by Jeff and Brandon Serle, who are cleanroom engineers.

Lenovo finally figured out that #screws exist, and the world rejoices like it's the second coming of sliced bread! 🥳🔧 Meanwhile, desperate tech enthusiasts and hipsters hug their ThinkPads tighter, pretending they're the chosen ones in the repairable laptop cult. 😂

Looking forward to the day when I need a screw and actually have the correct size at home and don't need to order yet another arbitrary size off of amazon.
How many Euroboxes full of screws does it take until that'll happen?

Mark organizes all of his loose screws... and nuts, bolts, nails - you get the idea.

I'm working through bins of hardware, trying to combine what I already had with a trove my Dad gave me.
Interestingly enough, I found that sorting it tickles the same part of my brain that working on a jigsaw puzzle does.

Big Picture Science for July 14, 2025: Nuts and Bolts
REPEAT
How frequently do you think about fasteners like screws and bolts? Probably not very often. But some of them a storied history, dating back to Egypt in the 3rd century BC. They aren’t just ancient history. They help hold up our bridges and homes today. Join us as we dissect a handful of engineering inventions that keep our world spinning and intact.Guests:
* Roma Agrawal - structural engineer and author of "Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World (in a Big Way)"
* Ron Gordon - watchmaker, New York CityThis repeat podcast originally aired on May 6, 2024

I finished the couch leg installation. Turns out I just needed the four M8 bolts and four nuts, which I had on hand, no spacers necessary. Still not as easy a job as it seemed. More details in the alt text.

US hardware standards are INSANE.
Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online. (cont.)

The word screw comes from the Latin word “scrofa”, meaning sow or Pig. This is because the heads of early screws resembled a pig’s snout.
10 things you might not know about screws.

#Linguistics question! I have an older relative - who would have grown up in Nova Scotia in the late 1940s and through the 1950s. I don't know if it's a generational thing, or a #regionalism, or what, but he uses a term I've never heard anyone else use. Might be only one tiny area; little towns were pretty isolated back then.
#Screws - i.e. hardware you drive into #wood etc - he calls "#screwnails".
Anyone else ever hear them referred to this way?

"[A] new study, published in The International Journal for the History of Engineering & Technology [revealed] that the Crystal Palace is the earliest known building to use Whitworth screw threads, later known as British Standard Whitworth (BSW), the world’s first national screw thread standard."

#introduction @histodons @renaissance
Hello! I am a PhD candidate in the #history of #earlymodern science, art, & #MaterialCulture at Columbia University. My dissertation focuses on #screws, screw-makers, and the screw-making industry in early modern Nuremberg and explores how goldsmiths assembled works of art with screws. I'd love to connect with early modernists and other historians, esp. those interested in #metalworking #HoS #craft, material culture, art history & #HistoricalReconstruction

Gah, stupid manufacturers and their weird #screws.
While I have a nice set of #Torx (with and without 'security' hole), #hex and the usual phillips and slot head #screwdrivers, apparently I need a bloody #pentalobe to disassemble my #Xiaomi #MiA1 phone.While most replacement charging board sets come with the require tools including the screwdrivers, I was hoping to be able to open it up already to apply a quick-fix in the mean time...
