At some point you just need to learn that those people are moronic lying sacks of ****, and move on.
You know this will never yield any fruit.

I feel no time in the past in these discussions something as concrete as a specific paper supposedly exists to support the claim
Honestly I am not convinced these people even exist
They sound like a solipsist's mutual fund.

Will a strap wrench work on a hexagonal nut? Or only on cylindrical items?
It would have to be a really big one.

I should say that it's the holding nut for a faucet, so it's up against a flat surface, and thin.

Guys, what is your favorite free anti virus and anti malware? My disk been running busy, now currently it's said steam bootstrapper, the other time it's system, and bitdefender not only takes an insane amount of time to search for potential threat (I gave up using it after stuck on forever 7% progress) but it also takes a lot of memory (350+mb). Before I decided to perhaps buy a new hardisk (which not only I don't want to spend the money, I think 3 years is not that long for a machine to break-down) but also I'm too lazy to migrated and move the operating system to the new SSD.
You guys have any suggestion please?

You don't need anything more than Windows Defender these days.
If your disk is busy all the time, it's probably not the anti-virus doing it. 350 MB RAM usage is kind of high, but not for during an active scan.
If you have an SSD already, you really should just move your OS and programs to it.

The IT in my office said exactly the same thing years ago, but I kind a not sure with his suggestion. But now I know that it's the case.
I was at the process of removing bitdefender, the process has been like an exorcist, sometime cmd/dos popping up and disappear, but now it's done seems everything much more lighter.
350 MB in idle Syns, this is one of the most heaviest anti-Virus I have ever encounter worst than McAfee, because of the Work from Home reality I really got and open so many files that sent from another computer, and this follows with my laptop drop of performance.
That's the cloning process right? Is it difficult? Like does it requires me to go to starup, changing the booting from Bios and all of those thing, or is it pretty simple? edit: I never done this thing before.

You'll need to clone it, but how complicated it is depends on your current hardware setup. Is the SSD already installed with things on it? Will you need to replace your HDD with the SSD once it's been cloned (because you only have one drive slot)? Can you put the SSD in the same slot the HDD is in after you've finished?
Alternatively, you can just do a clean install of Windows on the SSD and start fresh.
When I was still thinking of trying to upgrade my old laptop before its keyboard kicked the bucket, I would have had to get an adapter for the SSD, clone my drive to it, then replace the HDD inside the laptop with the SSD as there wasn't room for another drive.
If you can replace the current HDD with the SSD afterward, you won't have to update your BIOS. Otherwise, yes, you'll need to change the boot disk through BIOS.
Depending on your laptop, it might be easier to clone the SSD externally before installing it inside the laptop. My old laptop was glued together even after you got the screws off, so doing any kind of internal tinkering was an immense pain in the ass. Luckily, I didn't have a spare slot anyways, so the decision would've been made for me to clone the HDD to the SSD through the adapter instead. The adapter costs money, though, while installing an SSD into your spare disk slot doesn't. The flipside of that is that you'll need to take apart your laptop twice if you don't want to tinker with your BIOS after cloning.
I think the cloning software costs money now too, although it's possible that whoever you bought the SSD from gave you cloning software with your purchase.

This the one? https://www.thisoldhouse.com/bathrooms/21019260/loosening-a-stuck-nut
Cutlass is significantly better at this sort of thing than I am. I'd go with his suggestions if he has them. The order I would try is loosening, tightening, tapping(repeat first three until frustrated), cleaning/lubricating, heating, soaking the lubricant in, and then at the end cutting while teaching the kid new applications for verbs. Maybe. Good odds on seeing all of those steps in a project.
Wrenches and garage doors. You're a crafty one this week, Gori!

I haven't bought the SSD yet Syns, but it seems my laptop really need it so badly. But reading your explanation it seems it is not an easy task, however gladly my laptop do has an easy to access SSD slot and it can run both SSD and HDD simultaneously, so if I decide to buy the new Hard-Disk I don't need to discard the initial hard-disk, and I don't need to work on SSD externally. But still I need to work on the software and getting familiar to it, I need to understand the installation process, and during all the process my laptop would be inaccessible for me. It seems clean installation would be much easier option, but if I decided to do that, better just format everything, but before that I need to back up every important files and also my save-game progress because steam doesn't support cloud-save. In the end, whenever I want to buy SSD, imagining this process, I just keep delaying it until the pandemic.
But thank you for sparing your time for the detail explanation, very much appreciated.

I hope you realize that this is the prime example of bigottry.
They can't imagine why someone would want to do X, despite that tons of people are doing it.
Oh man, these people.
Hey, read my posts

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
I am contemplating updating my legal name with a moniker similar to the British Empire order prefix known as "Sir"
What I am considering is insisting that people call me {first name} Two Ovens {last name}
I am not really sure if this would be proper, since I have one oven with two doors. BirdJaguar claims that this sounds like two ovens though, and I am willing to believe him. But what says you, the peanut gallery? The device has two separate settings for both doors. It's one box but I could be baking a lasagna and a pie at the same time, at completely different temperatures. Is this one oven? Or is this two ovens? Or is it one stove with two ovens? What is the proper terminology here? And what would be proper for me to change my name to?

In the UK that would be called a double oven.
