Not true at all. Mechanic/tire shops don't have every customer that had their wheels pulled off come back to have them retorqued. If they are torqued properly initially, no need to retorque.

Both have their purpose. The click ones are great to quickly get through a torque sequence. The beam or pointer style give a nice visual representation of the torque. Snap On makes a digital one that will give an instant torque readout and beep when you reach the setpoint. Best of both worlds

>Why do we have to retorque the tires 100km after changing it
I've found that is usually due to rust on the wheel/hub that crushes while driving. That being said, if the mating surfaces are clean and the lugs are tightened to the proper torque, they should be fine for thousands of miles/KMs

Really good frozen pizza can be very good. Convection microwaves can cook pizzas really quickly and well actually.

>but not to the point like "I want a pizza" and 30.seconds later one shows up
If you ate a lot of frozen pizzas, it wouldn't be that hard to make a freezer that dispensed the pizza into a pizza oven and cooked it in just a few minutes. Could load it up with like 10 and just push a button and a hot pizza pops out in a few minutes.

I don't see why bathrooms aren't already designed like that. Most materials in them are already waterproof. Just add a drain in the center of the floor and a hot water hose sprayer to wash everything down. I'm setting up my bathroom like that when I redo it

We are a long way from AI replacing things like electricians, plumbers, HVAC, or carpenters. Though I would love some AI augmented reality for things like laying out rafters and conduit

I have a 30+ year old metal bed frame from walmart. The newer ones look of similar quality. Good, thick angle iron. $60
