Looks to me like a self tapping screw which had its head broken off / worn down. You probably just picked them both up from the same spot, double check your driveway / lot

Prok@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the most unfriendliest country that you’ve visited?21·13 days agoI just want to say while not overly friendly, my wife and I were in Belgium last year and as long as you don’t insist on trying to speak English at someone who said “no English” it was a perfectly nice place to be… Even when we were off the beaten path
Prok@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?5·14 days agoThis is exactly the thing I can seem to get anyone to agree with me on … Imported goods will never become significantly more expensive than American for the reason you just said…
There’s a lot of money in figuring out the right margin below the imported product such that they’ll lose some sales but ultimately profit more because of the increased profit margins. Not that you were seriously saying it would be a dollar cheaper but most I talk with tend to think that difference is much bigger than I expect which tends toward single digit percentage differences
Just trying to figure out how to work those blinds to let more sun in

Prok@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections]English63·19 days agoFull disclosure, I didn’t watch the video yet, but it’s likely a difference of environmental impact.
He’s described in previous videos how burning gas at home is less efficient from the standpoint of a carbon footprint. I imagine this video is to help explain everything in a way that helps you come to that conclusion yourself. Teach a man to fish instead of just giving a fish and what not. So you can apply the knowledge to other things in your life

Prok@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is Linux support still needed nowadays, or is Steam OS good enough?English71·23 days agoNative is always better, but Proton (what’s used by steam OS to run windows games) has worked for me for every title I’ve tried (even some small indie titles)… Sometimes graphics settings can be inconsistent, but I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet if you’re using an established engine it will just work with Proton
Yeah I don’t plan on switching unless I feel like I need to… Knowing what made others give up just helps me from wasting time fighting through something that might be a common issue…
I picked Nobara for it to be no-hassle, which it’s done a great job of for me so far
Thanks for taking the time!

If you have a moment to indulge a random person…
What made you feel the need to switch off of Nobara? I’ve been using it and it’s been fine, but I’d love to know some things to keep an eye out for

Games are hard… Tshirts and cheap plastic toys are not
Then I’d say nothing you do for work is safe
I wouldn’t go smaller than microATX, and even then I kinda regret not going ATX in mine… Unless you absolutely need to use whatever enclosure you’re looking at… I say keep shopping and find the space for something bigger… It’ll just end up being less wasted effort when you run into a problem that an extra PCI slot could solve

A lot of office buildings actually use metal studs, so these screws are used to attach them together. They’re a common enough thing that I wouldn’t be overly suspicious of anything.
Might be something about the self tapping head that makes them more likely to bite in a tire?? Just speculating there…
