2023-04-11 04:55:05 +0000 UTCI remember at one time, way way back, Snap-On Tools T shirts used to be soooo popular with my butch friends. (Is βdiesel dykeβ still a point of pride? Iβd be wary of using it today without knowing if itβs still a thing.)
Clifton Royston
2023-04-10 23:10:00 +0000 UTCIn this respect, I'm sorry Faye. Siding screw SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

2023-04-10 22:52:45 +0000 UTCI should have included that detail as an obvious part of the description. Did I just acquire a couple dozen last week for All The Sorting Needs? Why yes. Yes, I did. π
Ruth Merriam
2023-04-10 22:29:47 +0000 UTCAs long as said trays can double as storage once the screws are sorted. Otherwise it would be a waste of money.

2023-04-10 22:06:14 +0000 UTCWell, she wouldn't have ordered any parts, because they need to make an estimate and have the customer approve it (and probably put down an advance payment).
awgiedawgie
2023-04-10 22:04:38 +0000 UTCPlease order 200 sorting trays while you're at it.
Ruth Merriam
2023-04-10 21:21:16 +0000 UTCWhy would chaos energy harm Hanners? She's got enough of it herself. Bystanders, though...
Robert Heinig
2023-04-10 19:56:25 +0000 UTCYes, and they have this single bucket full of all sorts of various screws *and* bolts *and* nuts because Faye saw Hanners' reaction to the ball bearings and knew to hide it. I mean, it *had* been sitting right next to the jar of ball bearings, but fortunately tunnel vision.
Some Ed
2023-04-10 19:36:54 +0000 UTCThis gives her plenty of time free later in the day to devote to Faye's ass and the worship thereof.
Stephen Wells
2023-04-10 19:20:59 +0000 UTCSomehow, Hannelore sorts the biggest screws into a category she calls "would be useful to sexy firemen"

2023-04-10 17:29:43 +0000 UTCWe used to use coffee cans when I was a child, when nearly everyone got their coffee in cans. now I suppose you could use spice jars and gelato containers.

2023-04-10 17:16:09 +0000 UTC*Hannelore. No R after the E.
Rob McBobson
2023-04-10 16:06:12 +0000 UTCIn the time that it took Bubbles to say: "In the meantime..." she had already searched the entire Internet, calculated the best deals, and ordered the parts.

William Cole
2023-04-10 15:16:43 +0000 UTCI'm down for the picking through and sorting into piles. It's on someone else at that point to find homes for them all.
Matt Pedone
2023-04-10 14:02:07 +0000 UTCPlus her mom is an unscrupulous billionaire and her dad can drop tungsten rods on any spot on Earth.
Captain Button
2023-04-10 12:59:32 +0000 UTCIn AI-ridden Northampton, the Snap On truck doesn't have a driver, because it is an AI's body.
Captain Button
2023-04-10 12:58:04 +0000 UTCHow many of those more advanced fasteners are a one-way trip down fastening lane?
Leak
2023-04-10 12:14:43 +0000 UTCDo not kill the Hanners. She is my favorite.
William Stark
2023-04-10 11:45:15 +0000 UTCWait, there are people who /donβt/ enjoy sorting buckets of little screws? Thatβs just weird.
Foal Papers
2023-04-10 11:43:40 +0000 UTCMaybe the shop gets weekly visits from the Snap On truck?
Sean Kinlin
2023-04-10 10:46:40 +0000 UTCI love these dorks so much.
Cass
2023-04-10 10:16:39 +0000 UTCSince it apparently needs to be said... It's fiction. They're fictional characters. You can imagine whatever you like in your own head (and it's not "creepy" if you want to ship them). So go for it.
enchantedsleeper
2023-04-10 09:36:32 +0000 UTCAaaaah... and thus the Emmett-Hanners meeting was set in motion :D
enchantedsleeper
2023-04-10 09:34:59 +0000 UTCNot all relationships are romantic. They would make an excellent adoptive-aunt/nibling pair.

Dave Wilson
2023-04-10 09:22:25 +0000 UTCI must admit to being Emmett in this situation, at least at their age. I remember organising my brother to help me sort Lego pieces instead of using them to build something...
Duncan
2023-04-10 09:15:38 +0000 UTCMore than likely. You can get engineer screwdriver kits with replaceable heads from most tool shops, especially ones that supply to trade customers.
David Paul
2023-04-10 07:31:20 +0000 UTCGive them 10 more years.
Adam Abbott
2023-04-10 06:09:52 +0000 UTCOoooh yeeeeeeah! B)
Adam Abbott
2023-04-10 06:09:05 +0000 UTCI'm shipping Hanners and Emmett now, and this does not make me feel good about myself.
Doug DeJulio
2023-04-10 05:45:54 +0000 UTCThey need to be sorted by diameter and thread pitch. So a micrometer and thread pitch gauge?
Opus the Poet
2023-04-10 05:40:13 +0000 UTCGiven how Hannelore reacted to Winslow's Day of the Invisible Emu, I'm not sure she's ready for Emmett
Bagge
2023-04-10 05:37:59 +0000 UTCThen Hannerlore bursts through the wall βdid I hear youβre sorting screws?!β
Miyaa
2023-04-10 04:06:23 +0000 UTCthat actually sounds like great fidget activity (at least better than tearing receipts into smaller and smaller pieces)
Brad Kirkwood
2023-04-10 03:41:50 +0000 UTCDoes Union Robotics need to have all those weird tools for non-standard screw and bolt heads?
Captain Button
2023-04-10 03:37:59 +0000 UTCI don't remember Bubbles having ever referred to Hanners as "our friend" before π Also I am willing to bet that Faye is responsible for the existence of said bucket full of screws/fasteners, much like her putting random ball bearings of various sizes into the same container before π

Solomon Garland
2023-04-10 03:07:09 +0000 UTCThing is, there's plenty of advanced fasteners. But humans have been using screws since ancient Greece for a reason, they work. And with that experience we also know how to anticipate and avoid problems(generally via washers). Why go complicated if simple will work just as well while being cheaper and easier?
Viktor
2023-04-10 02:50:52 +0000 UTC*gasp* a WHOLE BUCKET of little screws. Emmett is gonna have so much fun sorting.
Ben French
2023-04-10 02:34:38 +0000 UTCI'm actually sort of disappointed robot bodies use screws. Surely there are more advanced fasteners available.
Carl Fink
2023-04-10 02:30:04 +0000 UTCman, sounds like Faye has a whole bucket of screws loose!
