The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That and the screw positions. Why am I working with tweezers to bolt something into a 2' square box? (Because the same hardware is used in laptops, I know, but ffs just ship with two screw sizes)
Buying a laptop tool set was a lifesaver for me, for weird but useful stuff like "screwdriver with a 10cm long shaft" and "electrician screwdriver" (those ones with a tiny led in them that lights up if there's power where there shouldn't be)
I ended up getting an ifixit-style set which helped last time, but I'm also clumsy so I'm constantly dropping screws on top of the motherboard, or under it. Whatever is hardest to get to.
Bloody typical
