The fact that the icon for SQL Server Management Studio:
is similar enough (when you're in a rush) to that of the snipping tool:
that I frequently open the wrong thing
I've no idea why they're so big
I disagree.
I counter-disagree.
In my experience, of all the quick cramps I've used, I avoid these ones at all costs.
I've not got small hands but the distance to squeeze is way too big and hard to get a good force through (ime). They never seem not to move. I was using them yesterday as unfortunately the workshop I work at has loads of these. Trying to clamp a timber/steel sandwich while i drilled it. They just keep moving. Absolutely terrible.
The clamping feel is weird. It's a kind of dead feeling. Then they move. Other clamps you can actually feel the force increasing and gauge it. These just feel dead and lack feel.
They're also big and unwieldy (compared to other clamps) and unnecessarily difficult to get into tight positions. They're awful when trying to clamp smaller, delicate items as the weight and size mean they can move or move the things you're trying to clamp.
The rubber pads always fall off and people lose them.
Absolutely hate them. 😂
These Irwin ones are cheaper, smaller, clamp better, have excellent feel, don't move, easy to grip and manipulate one handed. Infinitely better ime.
Yeah, I've a number of those blue ones too.
Irwin make two or three types, some a heavier duty than the others.
Of the yellow I've a few of the 5' long ones which are handy for long cabinets that are held together with biscuits.
Dog walkers who think hanging dog sh!t bags on trees/bushes is a good way to not bother disposing of it
"But I'm picking it up on my way back!"
We need a Great Lies Of Our Time thread.
Dog poo bags and litter make me angry, but that's perfectly reasonable so those don't belong on this thread.
Dog walkers who think hanging dog sh!t bags on trees/bushes is a good way to not bother disposing of it
Dog walkers who do this should be hung from the bushes by their genitals or staked out at bottom of a tree where dogs pee...
To be fair, I do leave some and pick them up on the way back. Weirdly (so i am told by my kids), I have both offered to take other people’s bags off them and cheekily palmed off mine when others are heading back toward the bin.
Is this where I admit that I don’t have a dog….?
Oxford Union debates. Tonight's should be "this house proposes that everyone in this room is a ****"
(And I've used the word I rarely use there).

Cambridge Union debates are much better! The YouTube channel is quite interesting with some of the speakers they get. Mike Pence was good but giving little away.
My peeve today - "auditors". Some camouflage wearing goon has been escorted off the premises and is now flying a drone around the building, so we've been told to lower the blinds.
Not sure what the Daily Wail will do with footage confirming civil servants do come into the office though. (It's a rest day from our Peloton training when we work from home)
Auditors really are a carbuncle on the arse cheek of society. Someone worked out once that there's money to be made from antagonising minimum wage security guards and hopefully provoking a reaction. Well done, you've proven that Karen on Reception isn't well versed in the minutiae of Trespass law, have a biscuit.
If I got one of those bastards on site I'd give them a guided tour of the building.
One of those ****y ‘auditors’ turned up at our place a while ago. He was polite and our security guys were as well. He said he was going to fly a drone over the premises and was told that was fine and asked if he could check the state of the roof on the main office block.
That threw him totally and he wandered off.
