Fake News literally controls the most powerful law enforcement agency.

Trump apologists: "Here is a long list of reasons why the former President's second impeachment trial is a fraud, much as everything else we don't like was."

Biden apologists: "Here is a long list of reasons why not kowtowing to radial-left demands is a threat not just to American democracy, but to all life on Earth."

Me: "Who the hell decided that using M9 x 0.5mm thread on this shaft was a good idea? Also, I have proven the existence of hyperspace, as that is the only possible location where the impossible-to-purchase nut which was included with the shaft can now be."

Wow! I've encountered strange threads in many European cars. M9 X 1.0 mm is a rare one but still possible to find.
I've never encountered anything with a 0.5 mm thread pitch in an automotive application.
Microscopically fine.
It might have been an "accounting" decision to force a user to purchase BOTH the shaft and the nut if the nut is not available individually from the manufacture.
More money this way...

You now have the record for "strangest metric thread" in my book!

This just in:

Biden's definition of "firing you on the spot" is actually a one week suspension without pay.

No pay for a week!? That's not even long enough to start collecting unemployment. I don't understand...

It's the thread on the housing of this LED indicator. M9 x 0.5:




Finally found a replacement. An old woman who I met at a rally in support of keeping non-white children locked in cages until they acknowledge that gender is a fictitious concept gave me one in exchange for finding the missing half of her cat which bears a superficial resemblance to Ted Cruz.

So it seems "non-white" is a safe way to label a group of people now?
It will probably be taboo tomorrow...
So, it was half a cat?
Did the critter suffer a "Cruz cut"?

I'm glad you found your nuts...

I think you may be looking at this the wrong way.

White = evil. White is **** and horribleness and colonialism and patriarchy and spray-tanned elected officials.

Non-white = good. Non-white is victim of the evil patriarchal oppressor.

And they're clearly being victimized by horrible white person putting them into the cages which his non-white predecessor had constructed for this purpose.

Except it's ok now, since a different white person is now doing the in-cage-putting, because he says he feels bad about it.
