Torque dialogue

Some of you may remember my thoughts on over or under torquing fastener. If a fastener is under torqued it will be able to give you a warning of it's failure (rattle, shudder, etc.). If a fastener is over torqued when it fails it fails outright without advanced warning. While I've never been accused of having my bolts overtorqued this assumes I possess screws in the first place Duct tape, my friends, the fastener of pros the world over.

But to ease up on parenting. Most of us at some point in our lives witness enough examples of proper behavior to know what constitutes "good behavior". A 14 I can still, somewhat, excuse a rude kid. At 40 I have little patience. Especially because someone at 40 is either a parent or grandparent and should be teaching good behavior. Not that us 40 somethings aren't capable of slipping sometimes
