That's not at all how it works. Micro$oft paid a LOT for those congresscritters, precisely so they DON'T have to pay for it. We do. We always do.

Weirdoness is a badge of honor for some, and a horrible insult for others. If you call EVERYONE weird, they all take it in the best possible way.

I'd rather see people panic buying toilet paper than ammunition

Also I'm 53 and I forgot what I was replying to while typing it

I have one of those floating around here too, the thing I didn't care for with that model was that the blade doesn't stick out very far. The one-handed action is nice tho. The one I carry every day is this one https://a.co/d/29pk73c but it's not currently available.

Slider style EDC utility knife. Small, lightweight, and because the blades are cheap and easily replaced you can abuse them - cut on concrete, pry stuff, if it breaks the blade, not a big deal.

https://a.co/d/gouJDKV typical example but there's lots of different ones.

Bonus - these blades are more expensive than most, but still cheap and last a lot longer than standard blades do https://a.co/d/bQj77Qz

I first heard that one in the 80s, when I was in high school. I thought about making it more, but that's how I heard it, so that's how I'll tell it. :)

As the joke goes...

Two scientists think they've cracked the secret of creating a humanzee. However, in order to test their theory, they need a human to mate with their chimpanzee, so they take out an add in the local newspaper (it's an old joke. A newspaper is what we used for news in the before times) that reads, "Man wanted for sex with chimpanzee for $1000"

The next day a man walks in and says, "I'll do it on three conditions. First, my wife can never know. Second, the children must be baptized. Finally, I'll have to pay in installments."

Either way the nickname should be "Subway".

"Did you meet Subway?" "... What?" "You gotta hear this story, dude! Gramma, tell Ricky your story!"

"Did you meet The Subway Murderer? Dude, don't fuck with her, she runs this cell block."

They don't get anything out of calling him, so he doesn't understand why they'd do it. Someone else told him it's a nice thing to do and that acknowledging it is helpful to him.

 

I do not live in an Idaho stop state, but I do it regularly.

TL;DR - shitty battery goes FWOOOF

"Hicks explained that Talaria normally only uses a well-respected battery maker known as Greenway Batteries. ... However, due to a “clerical error made by the Talaria team,” some Talaria MX5 electric motorbikes that were shipped to the US included a battery produced by another supplier known as Scud."
