Then you notice it's not a light bulb, it's a water bottle.

My favorite iteration of MySpace was the first one. No, not the social network with my friend Tom, I mean before that.

The domain was owned by a company that had jumped on the bandwagon of offering online file storage, that thing which is now called cloud storage. Much like OneDrive or Google Drive, etc.

MySpace offered 300MB for free, which was the largest I found at the time. Also the name actually made sense.

Tenet was about this:

Here.

Numbers are indeed very high, but none of them reach 50%. And you're right that general unhappiness while remaining married is hard to measure, but even that "gray divorce" rate (when the kids are not as big a factor) isn't so high, which I think would be an indication.

Also, that's only marriage. Lots of people are in stable LTRs (usually not their first, but that doesn't mean much if they are in one now.)

I feel like there is a similar but opposite bias to survivorship in the reporting of relationships in general: you only hear about the bad ones.

My friends are all freaks and geeks, much like myself, but even in our group those that are in relationships at all have been in them long term and are at least seemingly happy with them. This seems like the usual case in the general population too - bad cases become gossip (or news if the people are famous), but most of the stable cases don't make a big deal about it.

For context, this is a real question that stumped a lot of LLMs:

"I want to wash my car. The car wash is 100 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

Of course it's famous now, so they have added specific exceptions for it (or just because it's famous they've scraped the solution)

I think Phillips would look fine, especially if it's painted like those screws always are. And there are still other solutions, for example square drive (the bits are rare, but would be easy enough to just sell next to the plates if it became popular)

The screwdriver slips out of the side of the screw as you turn it. They can be extremely frustrating.

Do they make those in a reverse direction so once it gets a bite it can just unscrew?

You found one that is objectively worse than Phillips. (Because it's just the worst, period.)
