how am I supposed to get a screw in there:

+ Show Spoiler [picture] +
[image loading]


red= where screw should be going.
lightblue= the board that should be ontop and why I need the screw to begin with.

Yes the screw gets in from that direction. A pencil to the left to give you some idea of dimensions. Yes IKEA and I usually have no troubles with these things but this freaks me out

Sorry, spoilered because large pic

Ikea furniture should come with the holes pre drilled, so you can use a drill bit and your fingers to get it in.

alternatively, you can unscrew the connection closest to the bottom of the picture, and rotate the angled piece (it should resist being rotated, if not its not screwed in enough). Screw in the hole you want with the angled piece out of the way, and then rotate it back.

So, i have a Spawn comic and the content goes like
-Spawn talking to an old lady (his grandma i think) just to say goodbye
-then Spawn talking to a demon about what he just did (just a few sentences)
-a women gets stalked (as i remember) by a man, who is supposed to be a devil or the devil

and thats it, folks. That was the whole comic issue. And after reading other superhero comics, a question comes up to my mind:

Why are these comic so short?

I mean, asian comics (like mangas from japan) or european comics like asterix have more content. These superhero comics from america...not. Even mickey mouse comics have more content. :/

Aren't north american comics always coloured? Where as manga is always black and white? So, because of having to add colour it probably takes longer. At least I think that's the way it is, I could easily be wrong though.

Screw from the other side. I know it won't look as pretty but functionality is better than looks.

Use something similar to this:

If you don't have it, your father probably has one.

mmh I could ask my father if he has something like that. Now that I think about it, it has 2 screw holes per handle (or whatever it's called in english), the one marked red and the other one on the far end.
It's just a plain bookshelf/board and thus pressure applying from above. Should probably be fine even if I only manage to get the outer ones in.

That wouldn't fit either. The pictures is quite distorted and I took it really stupid. The space you got in there is actually less than my index finger in length but figured I'd rather use the pencil as a scale instead. Should have probably put it straight on top of the thing

Drill through the board from top, use a carriage bolt topside and a wing nut from the bottom. Depending of the board and the wing nuts, it might actually look pretty nice.

Wow you still use degrees? I thought all civilized countries had switched over to radians already.


For mathematicians radians is far more useful, degrees is easier to understand however, so it still has value.

About ten years ago, I found this game that taught chemistry and biology. Iä m trying to find it again.

In the game, you could specify rules, such as when a ball labeled A touched another ball labeled A, they would form a connection. Or another rule, where if a ball labeled B would touch a ball labeled A connected to another ball labeled A, the bond would break. On the right, there was a box with differently labeled balls bouncing randomly. Each level had a quest: you had to invent the rules which would allow you to, for example, to for a double-helix structure automatically.

The last goal was to make a cell-like structure which would replicate itself automatically (bring in building blocks through a ˇmembrane', produce a copy of its `nucleus' and to form a new membrane around that).

I'm now trying to find this game again, but I cannot remember its name at all. Perhaps someone here has seen it, or is just way better at googling for things than I am. But, trust me, I've tried to find it, and I'm now getting desperate.

How and why was duration of a second defined to be what it was? Why don't we just have 100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, and 10 hours a day and redefine each duration to fit accordingly?

I understand that 60 minutes divides into a 360 degree clock well, but how often do we use analog clocks anymore, and like a person above asked, why not just redefine a circle to have 100 degrees?

Metric time was invented the same time they invented the rest of the metric system but it didn't catch on.

The French also had 10-day weeks at one point but working nine days nonstop proved to be incredibly stressful

Is the week actually an influence of the working schedule? I guess it would kind of make sense, since the more we go into the creation of what we call time, it can get kind of weird. I don't know who calculated a second, but whatever, you have to start somewhere. A year makes sense, as does a day. Hours, I don't know, seems a bit weird that at some point someone was like "we need to calculate a day not through minutes, but something smaller, so let's get an arbitrary division in here (if it is indeed arbitrary)". A week is the most confusing one. What the fuck is it? What does it do? What does a month do?

A month is roughly related to one complete moon phase, which it originated from. However, turns out the moon doesn't play too nice with the sun, so if you want months to be consistent each year, you have to dislodge them from the moon, which is how we end up with the weird months we got nowadays. I have no idea where weeks come from, but religion would be my first guess. Did people in Japan or the natives in america have the same 7 day week before coming into contact with abrahamian religions?

I remember Isaac Asimov's science books explained rather well where all our time measurements come from and why they make sense, but I honestly can't remember half of it.

Days are pretty obvious (time it takes the earth to rotate on its axis). Presumably weeks come from the fact that months lasted 28 days (lunar month), which corresponds to 4 weeks of 7 days (and isn't divisible by anything else particularly useful).
