  • I would get 12mm screws of the same thread pitch (M2 is common) and file 0.5mm off the ends.

    If you don’t want to file them by hand, you could ask someone with access to a grinder for help. They could probably do it in a few seconds if the screws are not stainless steel. Your local bicycle shop might have one, since this is a fairly common operation on spokes.
















  • Probably because we don’t all have the energy to respond to every single inappropriate post. It’s tiresome, and many of us are busy.

    Also, lots of people see these posts by browsing their subscription feed, and don’t always notice which community each one comes from, so an errant post is easily overlooked if they’re also subscribed to a community where it would be appropriate.

    I do see some downvotes on an OpenAI post, though, so it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Don’t think you’re being singled out. It’s just that there are a lot of these lately, and the issue hasn’t been resolved yet, as you can see from the post I linked above.
