As I understand it gold is used as it doesn’t tarnish or corrode - it’s not there to benefit the sound in any way.

No pre-drilling. 5” screw. c.200 Nm of torque. 25mm PZ3 (Metabo) bit. Magnetic Milwaukee bit holder.

The bits break first, by design. The bit holder hardly ever breaks. Never broken the gun.

It’s horses for courses at the end of the day. “If it works, it works” is the mantra I was brought up around.

That’s a standard size bit - for use in a bit holder. You don’t put that bit directly into your impact gun.

Milwaukee sell them in tic-tac boxes of 25. I only go through a maximum of maybe two bits a day working with timber.

Pure speculation - rival gangs and the hair salon is a front / laundering operation…

Or they gave a terrible haircut to that guy.

That’s a great example.

Glad you made it.

Regardless of the whole big c / little c argument I’d still be hard pressed to find one person that was alarmed with falling crime figures…

I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the poster meant a “knee-jerky, xenophobic, Reform / BNP / UKIP / English Alliance etc. voting Londoner” because, yeah, that headline would be counter to their narrative.

The manager pretty much said they could show this ironically or have an empty screen for a week. From a business point of view it really doesn’t matter “why” people are buying tickets; it just matters that they “are” buying tickets.

Have you read [“The Day of The Triffids”] ?(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Triffids)

Yeah, on reflection, I suppose… and the men; and everyone else inbetween.

They immediately sent my first one back and said: “Please stop. We’re gonna make an exception for you.”

Kinda knocked my confidence a little bit, to be honest.

I swear the sound of a spade hitting earth is the Robin equivalent of a drop of blood in the ocean for a shark.

I’m glad the little fella found a great restaurant at your place.

In the UK the key from a tin of corned beef will operate a trolley. Do with this information what you wish.

You’re not wrong there, my friend - I stride through life on easy level knowing that nothing bad nor troublesome will ever have any bearing on me, nor my life, in any way whatsoever. It is a most relaxing life.
