Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won't bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It's also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it's a mild steel.
Or you just hammer it in.
