    Responsible Gun Owner Kills Mall Shooter

    If you really think about it, it’s a miracle that anyone at all manages to survive in the deadly university environment without packing a gun. 🤔

    EDC Knife Choice - Want Edge retention and sharpness

    @sndmn11 For sure! The geometry really performs on that slim blade too, especially if you reprofile it to something around 17 DPS. Another nice thing for hunting use is how effortless the simple open construction makes it to sanitize the knife; you can just hose off or dunk the entire thing...

    ^ If that’s genuinely his belief, then why is he such an insufferable crybaby? :unsure: “Physician, heal thyself” is the quote that comes to mind whenever I see that utter hypocrite:

    EDC Knife Choice - Want Edge retention and sharpness

    I had one and, although it was a nice-enough knife with good-looking resin-impregnated wood scales, I wasn’t really into the handling and the blade design — too thick behind the edge, the thumb studs get in the way, and the pointless recurve makes it a ballache to sharpen. After I got the...

    What's your EDC knife?

    This Bradley Bowie in PSF27 has been with me all the time during a house-construction project, so it’s an EDC for now. The well-designed sheath makes it extremely handy to use:

    What's your EDC knife?

    Nice; 20CV is fantastic stuff. That steel along with the flat grind and not-too-thick blade stock give incredibly good cutting performance.

    What's your EDC knife?

    I’ve settled on this all-Spyderco rotation (the Benchmade was given away): The extreme corrosion resistance of the Spydiechef covers one end of the scale, while the insane hardness and edge retention of the lightweight Manix 2 in Maxamet is on the other. The PM2 in S45VN gives a great balance...

    Ha, that was exactly my process for picking a few YFBSes to get rolling. I found that although the hosts sometimes try too hard to be funny/edgy, there was much more to agree than disagree with. C&R seems pretty great so far. The subject material of the grittier country music scene before the...

    If you still use an iOS device, Castro works amazingly well. At the other end of the spectrum, the Apple Podcasts app absolutely stinks.

    Ah nice; I’ve heard of those two but haven’t given either a listen yet. I’ll cue up a few episodes for today’s flooring work; any in particular you’d recommend to start with? <scrolls through episode list> Mostly sucky bands, but a quite few that should be interesting to see how they make the...

    @displacedtexan Ha, cool. I’m doing a bunch of the work on my new build right now, and I find having a good podcast makes the routine parts of the job go easier. Yeah, Nate and Francis can definitely ramble a bit. That’s fine sometimes, but it makes me really appreciate a focused...

    Good mix there. I started listening to podcasts during a renovation project after my first child was born, and found that they’re a great way to learn things while the hands and eyes are occupied. I’ve heard at least few episodes from most of them. Personally, I find that certain members of...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    A stone-cold classic. One variation of that theme I’ve heard is: “If it’s got tits or wheels, it’s going to give you problems.”

    Responsible Gun Owner Kills Mall Shooter

    It seems that any solution would require at least some government involvement, given how much their economic, infrastructural, domestic and foreign policies contribute to the problem.

    Incredible — there were almost four hundred cops on the scene, yet they did nothing for well over an hour: https://www.lowellsun.com/2022/07/17/uvalde-report-376-officers-but-egregiously-poor-decisions/amp/
