I think it's past it's "Use Before Date". So, the next BIG Banana car will be an EB (Electric Banana) to meet regulations.
Donovan had it right with "Mellow Yellow" back in the day:

Electrical banana

TIL I hate screwdriver sets that have the same handle for every type of driver. Pulling them out of the rack is a guessing game.

TIL there's a difference between a bar and bat mitzvah. Watched an episode of Bob's Burgers and thought bar mitzvah applied to both genders but I was wrong.

You should label each position in the rack where they are stored. Or mark the handles in some way.

That's why I set up my race box like this. A place for everything and everything in it's place.

I have one I love that I keep at work. The difference is it has a regular handle and each "bit" is actually a full length screwdriver blade that twists into the handle. I've had it for probably 20 years. Never been able to find another one. It all fits into a 2 inch square box.

I like dirt.

This is the screwdriver set I mentioned above. It was a stocking stuffer from MomHawk probably 30 years ago. I've taken a lot of computers apart with it.

TIL the FBI secretly modified and sold encrypted phones on the black market to criminals using the program to spy on and stop many large crimes from drug trafficking to hits.

Same could happen with a solar flare.

TIL a new term “Negging”. ("to neg", meaning "negative feedback")
It is the act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or passive-aggressive remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval.
