What do they claim the emergency is?

Not to go all old school on you, but have your considered getting a kerosene lamp?

…remove all tape. Its annoying, but better than picking it out of the garden later.

Like removing the teeth from a body before feeding it to your hogs. Easier to do it before than to pick them out after.

Yep.

This is the way.

I received some bad screws in a high-end monitor mount for medical diagnostic monitors. The tech who was mounting the monitor didn’t realize, and tried to use gorilla strength to drive the screw in. He broke the head of the screw off.

The monitor in question was a brand new, $13,000 monitor. We needed it, and we couldn’t wait to ship it back to the manufacturer to get the screw removed.

I got the smallest set of screw extractors I could buy, wrapped the monitor in plastic with a hole over the screw. I put a piece of tape over the hole so that everything was sealed with only the screw exposed.

I went very slow and very gentle, vacuuming up any bits of metal shavings before fully removing the screw, but it went fine.

It was quite a butt-puckering operation, but I survived it.

That would require society to adapt what is acceptable to wear in formal, or upscale, or professional situations.

Pasties and g-strings: the new business casual.
