I wonder if Stephen King is only apologizing because he’s going to lose millions in a defamation lawsuit.
Calling libertarians (effectively, the exact opposite of Nazis) Nazis has been around long before the violence inciting Kenyan took center stage.

“In 2014, the New York Times posted a story about how Americans were stupid. It was unsourced, apocryphal, and objectively unlikely, requiring as it did that Americans be in a Schrödingerian state of both numeracy and innumeracy at the same time. It became an instant urban legend. New York Times readers across the country jumped on the opportunity to believe their fellow Americans stupid, unthinking, and unwilling to take advantage of obvious opportunities.
“This is why I don’t trust New York Times readers.”

Unferth–I think that was 99.9% of it, however, he actually went back and looked up the video that the libs use as ‘proof’ and found that Charlie Kirk was talking about the danger of picking and choosing scripture. So as much as I hate to, I’ll kudos point him for that.
Stephen–Okay?? I had to follow a link to get to figure out where you were coming from. Maybe an explanation as to the meme you are referencing would help. For everyone else, it was the hamburger meme.
Patrick–Well played!
Hex wrenches…
Yeah, got at least 100 of them in a dedicated bin on the garage pegboard. Kits have included these for a very long time, because it is reasonable to assume that not everyone has a set handy (although I find any man who does not own at least a small integrated set of hex keys kinda ‘oogy’.)
What is very alarming is that kits labeled ‘some assembly required’ (planter rings, gas grills) now include small, cheap screwdrivers. And cheap cotton gloves (!) Hell, even my 88 year old MIL has an ancient set of Craftsman hand tools, and the old girl knows Phillips from slot. If you don’t own so much as a decent screwdriver set, you have no business trying to assemble your own stuff.

Phil….You betcha,brother! Bonus points if you use SAE bits on metric hexbolts. We gotta justify the price of those extractors we bought somehow, right?

Harbinger–I have a cheap set my folks gave me when I got my first apartment. I’ve supplemented with a few other tools, but I can handle 98% of things without a trip to the hardware store.
Unferth–I do the same thing.
Busted–That’s hardcore!
