    17:23 Manufactured diamond and cubic zirconia _are not_ the same thing, the mined diamond industry just wants you to think that.

      @@alvinseamstar817 It's all manufactured value for a shiny stone anyways. With "lab created" diamonds, you take away the alleged "rarity" of a natural diamond, but why the hell should we care? The non natural ones are just as pretty with no defects. Plus, diamonds are mined by the ton and the waste from carving them is thrown away. That's why you can buy natural mini diamonds by the pound for cheap.
      In my opinion, diamonds are a scam. Then again, the only reason things have value is because it's what people are willing to pay for them. This could easily turn into an argument of exorbitance and why we as humans waste resources for seemingly worthless things, but how about we just skip that part and move on with our lives and opinions. If you agree with me, cool! If not, I don't really care what you think- so please don't waste your time trying to argue. I hate that I have to type that out every time I say something on the internet, but that's just the way things are. No offence meant to anyone.

    Different screws with different screw heads have different torx pressure. I can only assume they use Phillips around the housing because there’s more of a solid base behind it so more you can exert more force for tightening whereas more fragile components can’t have this so the tri wing head allows for less pressure and more of a ‘holding into place’ instead of tightening into place if that makes sense?
