Unfortunately us Canadians just get lost in the crowd :( We deserve recognition too I tell ya! We hate your guts just as much as the guys across the pond too you know :'( ;) :p

If it helps, Canadian troops are held in very high regard among everyone who work with them or even just interact with them.

Canadians are polite, they don't lord over you. They're like Americans that aren't full of themselves, I :wub: them too.

No offense was taken, it's just a tricky system. I think I have some more clarity now. The countries in the UK, are Best friends forever, but then there is a commonwealth of nations that is like the clique of BFF's. America has no BFF's, only friends, and no one willing to say they're in a commonwealth with us. GB is the cool kids, America is the loner(that desperately wants everyone to be their friends), and the rest of the world doesn't take a shower.

You think that is tricky, try understanding our military, we have Scottick, Welsh, Irish and of course English but that's not enough, we then have UK military too...

And no, the UK and the US has always and remains very close allies, the US is not a loner, but the US do have some very strange "friends" in the world that are not shared with others.

I'll give you the shower thing in my case, but that has a natural explanation. ;)

Thanks, yes I know of this. I'm not a military person but I know they did some especially courageous work during WWII and are highly regarded for it, same with Australia.

Lulz por joo tew Locut0s.

I was once admonished by my Canadian professor for having the idea that the U.S. and Canada were "step-in-step" with regards to politics and ideology. She set me straight. I totally respect her viewpoint, and from there on then, I would never see Canadians as someone who would go along with "America's" policies. Rightfully so.

Yeah, you guys hate being lumped in with "Americans." (Americans being the "egocentric" term that we use.) But that's cool too.

Anyways, yeah, the hardware I use most, the one being most "on" / most "powered" would be my monitor.

(I <3 Locut9s)

Yes, America has true "allies" but the reason is, that we helped out way long ago, and we have invested a lot of our economics into being the "best" and most fierce fighting force. England is friends with us like I was friends with the big guy on the football team. We didn't agree on much, but what we agreed on was important, not to get overwhelmed by the mass.

It helps to rub the screws on a bar of soap before you drive them in

Haha I could not tell you as I was not doing the screwing. Just a spectator, mostly "drive by's" :biggrin:

As for different sounds I'm sure not just the the characteristics of the wood (hardness, grain, etc.) but the screw itself - flute depth, pitch, TPI, etc. Some are steel that could be galvanized, anodized, chem kote/powder coated, naked stainless steel, etc. Never though screwing could be some complex, eh? :eek:

The computer I have at home, no matter which one I go through. Easily spent over 10,000 hours on it in the past few years.
