Setup costs, in my case. I use a screwdriver so infrequently that it doesn't pay to (a) find drill (b) find extension cord (c) crawl under furniture for socket (d) plug in (e) install screwdriver bit. Much easier to (a) find proper screwdriver in drawer. -- And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic tenebrous ultimate gods -- the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.
