MacGyver

That 535-3 Bugout in S90V and wearing carbon fiber scales is a beautiful little knife - if pricey. But at 2 ounces - it’s lightweight.

I talked to him a couple of weeks ago to chat about something we were both watching on television He seems to be doing just fine.

Good looking blade

Are you looking for a locking blade or a more traditional folder? The Kershaw Leek is pretty lightweight - and inexpensive. My personal summer carry is a Spyderco Delica in Damascus with lightweight G10 scales. I could probably come up with even lighter - give me some guidance on what you’re looking for? Pocket clip? Traditional slipjoint?

Oh, I’d go with what their site says. I think I was looking at a B&H side-by-side comparison.

Also worth noting that I’m on a MacBook Pro in clamshell mode on these monitors. If you’re running a PC, I don’t know that you’d have reason to care about daisy chaining off one wire. That monitor delivers 90W through USB-C - so in most use cases you’ll be great That monitor does not rotate to portrait - but again - a specific use case that may not be worth the extra money for what appears to be the same panel

So, keep in mind I've not handled this monitor - but from people I know who have - if you're using a docking station you ought to be just as happy with it as you would be with the more expensive one.. If you're trying to daisy chain multiple monitors together, straight USB-C might have some trouble keeping up in high demand graphics applications (you'd probably never notice in business applications.). It's got FreeSync where the PD3220U doesn't - so it actually should be a pretty great standalone monitor - even for gaming.

I had a Feel Free kayak before I got my Pro Angler. These are great boats.

Make sure you're well versed on safety protocols on handling tritium lamps. You don't want to be wondering what needs to be done once you've broken one.

Dang it.

For what it's worth, I'd buy an LG 32UL950-W with zero hesitation too.

I had several requirements: 1. True 4K or better resolution 2. I wanted an actual Thunderbolt 3 monitor - needing only one cable on my desk and then being able to charge and daisy chain monitors was a must have for me. I run two 32" monitors side by side and don't want tons of cabling all over my desk. 3. I wanted a monitor that could pivot and work in portrait mode which few actually seem to do. In this particular monitor, the non Thunderbolt 3 model is a lot cheaper. I've run Benq monitors going back to the mid 90's. They're great quality. I don't actually benefit from all of the design features. I write more code than I do any type of graphics or video work. But, my rationale goes kind of like this - I work with these monitors for hours a day. They're how I make my living. The last ones I replaced were original 30" cinema displays that I had for years. Amortized over time - these and a good laptop are totally worth it. Same can be said for a standing desk and the best chair you can get that fits you.

I feel your pain. I’m running two benq PD3220Us. You’re welcome to come by and check them out if they’re on your list.

What a neat experience.

Booted.

If you’ve not made the switch to electric yard tools - be forewarned you may get angry the first time you use them - angry that no one in your life told you how much better an experience they are.

That’s likely a battery that’s just too low to hold a charge - maybe with a bad cell that’s “diluting” the ability of the portable pack to start it. You could pull the battery cables and hook them up directly to the jumper cables. If it starts - easy fix.

Y’all. We’ve been doing this en masse since 2001. Remember all the anthrax in the days after 9/11? Heck, pieces of this technology have been around since the Unabomber days. Don’t screw with postal inspectors. Seriously. They’ll find you.

They’re a good eating fish - but they take some work to learn to clean. They’ve got a pronounced blood line. Remove that unless you like a really strong fish taste. I usually just filet them and pick through the y-bones by hand. Sometimes I clean them by scraping the meat from the filets with a spoon and making croquets.

Right?

That was my one complaint about my 2016 Tacoma - it liked to hunt for the gear it wanted more than I cared for in the normal Eco mode. I forget what the other mode was called that moved the shift point to a higher RPM, but that seemed I solve it.

One of my clients who is pretty in the know and owns more than a dozen dealerships says that they are preparing for war footing when it comes to the chip shortage (and carryon supply chain issues) through at least the end of 2023. When I last spoke to them, they only had 56 new vehicles across the entirety of their lots. On a different note - we bought my wife a Kia Telluride - because we need a third row that’s actually usable by someone who’s older than 3. I can’t say enough good things about it. She drove a Land Cruiser and a Sequoia and it beat both of them out by a lot. The Land Cruiser cost almost twice as much.

I cannot stress this strongly enough - but for at least the next couple generations - there is no ceiling on the GDP of the internet. Add in the fact that we're still early enough that knowing enough of any scripting language to get "hello world" on the internet coupled with enough SQL knowledge to write a join statement - and you've got as close to a superpower as anyone has ever had. As much as software is eating the world - there is capacity for a lot more. We'll likely reach a point where coding is a reliable blue collar job - kind of the 21st century equivalent of your grandad's generation factory job. It's likely to be the gateway into the middle class for a lot of people. And it's likely to make some of the more industrious of those folks really wealthy. Basic coding skills will make you better at just about any job you have - it makes you think differently - and allows you to solve problems with a different toolset.

These are cool.

I’m sorry to hear this. He’s had a tough run of it these last few years. I hope his family and those that loved him find peace.
