It's what it says it is. Specifically, an interchangeable bit for a mechanical screwdriver. Which is the same as a modern electrical screwdriver except it would have a crank handle instead of a button to make the head turn. You just don't recognise it because nobody uses fork head screws any more.

Coheed and Camembert posted:When I worked at a public library, we still had a few guys who'd whack off at the computers, they just didn't make regular appointments to do it. I was working circulation desk at one point and saw a guy *sprinting* out the front door, followed by our security officer who caught him trying to jack it. This was around 2016, so I have to assume it still happens today. Did he sprint out with his tackle swinging free, or did he find time to put it away first?

The_Other posted:Re: The Scientology stuff. Most of what they donated was related to Scientology directly. IIRC it was Hubbard's other "non-fiction" writings, it actually looked like those old Time-Life encyclopedia style book series. The revision to the Scientology doctrine Fleta Mcgurn is talking about were mostly for the high level "Operating Thetan" (or OT) courses, that cost anywhere from $500,000 to $2 million dollars and can only be taken at certain locations, one if which is the ship Freewinds. There mainly doing that to get more money from their wealthier members, Chick Corea, for example, had to redo OT8 back in 2016. Chick Corea was a Scientologist? gently caress.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Ah yes, they're tossing the rarest books such as Huxley's Brave New World and Shakespeare collections Those copies of Brave New World are in good shape. The fact that that particular book has been removed from the curriculum at this particular time should give pause for thought whether the books were being thrown out or not. Fahrenheit 451 might have been a little more on the nose, but not by much.
