Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
hahahahahaha, about three years ago now, I bought a hunting knife from Amazon that came with a sheath which had a belt clip that was held on by one of these fucking screws.
at the time, i couldn't figure for the life of me what it was or if there was a tool for this so I went to Home Depot, bought a .99 cent flathead our of their bargain tubs, took it to their tool rental department where they also will cut metal for you if you ask nicely. had them make a notch in the top of the flathead, brought it home and after some filing got it to get in there and loosen up this devil screw top.
now i know it's called a U or H type screwdriver. my way was cheaper, but nice to know the real solution now.

there are hundreds of diseases that exist in mammals like dogs and bats which do not transmit to humans. when a new one does, it's a big deal, all the time, every time. especially one that has crossed the taxonomic bridge from avians to mammals. for fucks sake.
giving countless people the idea that this is a very big deal, is dangerous, and something to pay attention to, what is it now, 4 years after the start of a worldwide pandemic which saw millions of lives simply wiped off the board, and the global economy brought to a standstill, is precisely the message which should be broadcast. we were not ready for COVID, and we are STILL not prepared for the next one, because it costs the wrong people, too much time, effort, and money to be ready.

Shoigu and Gerasimov are the two that Prigozhin wanted replaced and hung when he led the Warner Group to invade Russia and blitzkrieg towards Moscow last year. And ..... then ..... he ..... just ..... stopped. And they blew him up in a plane a couple months later. Things which could've been.
Some suspect Dell's suddenly stringent office policy is an attempt to force people to quit so that the company can avoid layoffs. In 2023, Dell laid off 13,000 people, per regulatory filings [PDF].
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
The issue with renting is, of course, just like apartments (or flats if you will), the producers of the items will see the opportunity to inflate the retail costs of the items, the more they see their sales dip due to renting, which will make the price of renting the equipment greater .... and so it goes
