A Different Kind Of Thread
25So @RiotDemon suggested that I, and I quote “start a different kind of thread.”
So I thought, what’s more different than a thread about…thread
I think my favorite is “indifference”…

So many screws, so little time
@tinamarie1974 have to admit, in the context of your comment, some of the names are pretty…uhhhhh…
@ybmuG
@tinamarie1974 in a thread about thread, was kind of expecting something more like this
@ybmuG O M G!! You win the internet. Clearly I am off my game tonight
@tinamarie1974 yay!
/giphy I win the internet
@tinamarie1974 @ybmuG Gave the ol’ lady a good Type BF just the other night!
@medz @tinamarie1974 Yeah, after I posted it and then TM74’s comment, I went back and read the names and thought “oh crap! I can only imagine where this group will take it…”
@medz @ybmuG What?!?! We are all completely innocent!
I have completely refrained from the deep thread screw jokes!!
@medz @tinamarie1974
/giphy sure
@tinamarie1974
Balls deep thread screw?
@medz @tinamarie1974 oh boy
/giphy what have I done?
@medz @ybmuG I seem to be getting warm and tingly…
Also, I’ll take a bakers dozen of balls deep screws please!
@medz @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
well, now you know!
BTW, I was once told the definition of indecent was
“when your balls hit”… that’s when you are in decent!
@medz @tinamarie1974 Reamer SDS seems appropriate too.
@medz @readnj
/giphy oh my
@medz @readnj @tinamarie1974 “appropriate” seems a subjective determination, but ok…
@medz @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
deep thr… never mind
@Cerridwyn @medz @ybmuG thrombosis?
@medz @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG

/giphy snicker
@Cerridwyn @medz @ybmuG nah, I prefer the other…but I was injecting humor

This will be quite the yarn you can tell your kids about someday.
“I’m a Type A”
“Personality or blood?”
“Thread”
@DennisG2014
I also found this that ties it back to the original (see 6 up from bottom right)
Of course, a different kind of thread deserves a different kind of post…

I’m a computer systems engineer - this is what I think of when I hear “threads” -
Uh… that’s “interference” not “indifference”.
@msklzannie
Meh.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(that’s indifference
)
@msklzannie sorry, didn’t care enough to correct it…
@msklzannie @ybmuG Oh… I just thought you had made a ‘dad joke’
My first job out of college was selling threaded fasteners.
At one time I could have explained the applications for and reasons why for all of those different thread types.
@JnKL
/giphy use it or lose it…
@chienfou @JnKL
I think they are called “buttons”?
@JnKL @mike808 I see what you did there…
Brilliant!
I’m taking a millwright class at work. I just learned what a tap and die set is used for. So yay for threads.
@ivannabc a machine composed of an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis…best thing since the wheel!
@ybmuG ok Leonard
@tinamarie1974
/giphy red hat
@carl669 Ooohh! multi-threading
@ybmuG mainly it’s because if you rearrange the letters of ‘thread’, you get ‘red hat’
@carl669 @ybmuG Get the fuck out, no kidding? That’s one of those facts that surely waited a long time to be relevant.
Do the Red Hat people know this?
OK, so today I learned what a ‘tri-wing’ screw is. Had the retainer spring for the door on my toaster oven fail, allowing the door to slam down without any resistance.
OK, I can handle this… just take off the screws holding on the sheet metal body and I should be able to get to the door retainer spring… No Problem.
Pulled the screws off the back, flipped the thing over and removed the 4 feet (all standard #1 phillips screws) and WTF… the last 4 screws on the bottom of the thing only had 3 ‘wings’.
Thankfully I had bought a set of screwdriver tips for security screws from Harbor Freight years ago, (and even more thankfully I was able to find them). Sure enough, there was the correct screwdriver tip (#1 tri-wing). Pulled the offending screws, then it was off with the shell, a slight redesign of the connection from the spring to the arm on the door using a small split keyring, re-bent the end on the spring (it had broken off) and voila good as new.
Oh, and I put the set of security screw bits back in the shop in the spot they belong… for next time!
@chienfou no user serviceable parts inside…pfffftt!
@ybmuG Yep… it was definitely serviceable by the primary user!
