A couple of fucking years ago I purchased a handle bar stem raiser
for my mountain bike.
It was somewhat of a bitch to install as I had to also install new
shift and brake cables, along with their housings, due to the increased
height.
Now I get a fucking recall notice:

Fortunately, I purchased the Delta 3418B which does not require new
bolts:
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/Delta-Cycle-Recalls-Bicycle-Stem-Raisers-Due-to-Fall-Hazard
But it must tightened to 20nm.
What the fuck is 20nm? Is that Newton-meters? I suppose that it
is, but the fucking web site does not specify although it should.
Fucking incompetent assholes are everywhere.
Now I've got to purchase a fucking torque wrench but no I will not.
I'll just tighten the fucking bolts until it feels "right."
What does this have to do with GNU/Linux?
It's you're fucking job to figure it out. Asshole.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Farley: "I don't have a torque wrench."
Physfit: "Even if you had one you couldn't use it correctly."
Farley: "Care to explain?"
Physfit: "You'd need to calibrate it first, and you don't know how."
Farley: "How do you know I don't know that."
Physfit: "Even after reading up on the physics of it, I doubt you could conduct an accurate experiment to calibrate it."
Farley: "Perhaps they come already calibrated."
Physfit: "Never."
Farley: "Then why nobody has ever complained about that."
Physfit: "Few can find that much care in them."
Farley: "So what the fuck am I supposed to do to calibrate it?"
Physfit: "Watch two or three youtube uploads that explain how it's done."
Farley: "What did my post have to do with linux?"
Physfit: "When it has to do with your dick, it has to also do with GNU/Linux."
Farley: "You got _that_ right!"
