nicht wenn die schrauben köpfe voller lack sind.

in allen anderen fällen macht es schon einen unterschied. einfach die bits (ohne den schrauber) mit der hand durchprobieren: pozi oder philips, aber auch verschiedene größen. der, der am wenigsten wackelt sollte genommen werden.

Every little thing I buy, within a couple weeks is followed by an email asking me to leave a review. For EVERYTHING! WTF do they do with their billions of reviews?

how do you buy stuff online? do you read reviews on the big shopping platforms?

back in the day reviews were a good and honest way to find out if a product is usable. the idea was that normal people do honest reviews and other people can use that as a guidance.

this was probably true for some years, until the system got rigged: users were payed to take bad reviews offline, or users are payed to post good reviews. simple products with good reviews got exchanged with cheap complex products, so the reviews seemed to be for that product.

what you see is one part of this system: a seller is asking you to do free advertisement for them.

Rollie Free breaking speed records on a motorcycle, positioned and clothed to minimize wind resistance, Utah, USA, 1948

if you think "at least he wears a helmet" you are wrong:

[W]hen his leathers tore from early runs at 147 mph (237 km/h), he discarded them and made a final attempt without a jacket, pants, gloves, boots, or helmet. Free lay flat on the motorcycle wearing only a bathing suit, a shower cap, and a pair of borrowed sneakers.
