Wrench Sizes and Socket Sizes Chart | SAE to Metric in Order: I used to have all of the SAE standard wrench and socket sizes in order memorized and could tell you instantly what size was next in order from small to large and which metric socket or wrench was equivalent. That was decades ago, back in my days as a mechanic and industrial technician.
Car and truck oil drain plug sizes can be confusing, especially if you slide under your vehicle ready for an oil change and realize you have no idea which socket you need. Plug sizes vary between makes, models, and engines, and even different years of the same vehicle can use different drain bolts. The upside is that most manufacturers reuse common sizes, so once you know what your vehicle uses, the job becomes much easier.

Were Thoth, Hermes, and Enoch All One and the Same Entity or Being? Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus, and Enoch are three names that echo through ancient wisdom and mysticism. While each figure emerges from a distinct cultural tradition; Thoth from Egypt, Hermes from Greece, and Enoch from Judeo Christian lore; their roles as divine scribes and intermediaries are remarkably similar. Could these figures represent the same archetype or even the same entity? Let's dive deeper into their similarities to find out.
Every Worldview Creates Its Own Heroes and Villains: From the quiet space behind thought, the world of conflict looks completely different. Heroes and Villains lose their sharp edges. Right and wrong begin to blur. Not because morality disappears, but because the observer sees how every character is shaped by the perspective conditioned lens they look through.
The idea of ego death shows up across spirituality, psychology, myth, and religion, but most people approach it backwards. We try to force the ego away, reshape it, defeat it, or outgrow it, only to end up more tangled in it. What teachers like Alan Watts point to is something far more subtle: the ego falls away not through effort, but through insight. Below is a clear, cross cultural breakdown of how this paradox appears in ancient traditions, mysticism, and mythology, along with Watts classic explanation.
