  • Yeah, Leatherman seems to have come out ahead. I used the Wave2 for a while, and most folks I know have Leatherman multi-tools. The lack of spring on the pliers took a long time to get used to. The Gerber pliers and scissors springs are still going strong, so I never bought the “it is just going to fail” argument for not having them. The Gerber also had external access tools decades before people were praising the wave for its originality in having external tools lol. Honestly those are two selling points that kept me from ever getting a new multitool…well, now there is sentimental value for a tool that has been through hell with me and is still strong…but I probably won’t be recommending Gerber any time soon.


  • Gerber Legend 800 Multitool

    The one I got from a PX the year after it was released is epic. Have carried it for 23 years. It has seen everything and outside of scraping the knife sharpish again, has never been maintained. I misplaced it for a bit (under friends driver’s seat for about a year) and couldn’t find a replacement “upgrade”. Did the Leatherman wave2 for a bit. Couldn’t take it, hit up eBay, got 3 more Gerber L800s (later release, still in boxes)…so bad. They just felt cheaper. When we stumbled upon my old Gerber, I kept the new ones for parts. Replace my knife with a new one…it already has rust dots on it. My old one after decades of abuse and being sharpened to half it’s starting width, doesn’t have a spot of rust on it.

    ANYWAY…yeah…what OP said.

    Everyone I know in tech uses android. People that want capable handheld devices choose android. People that want a basic device that does what the company says and nothing else go Apple. Even I suggest Apple to old people and luddites, it protects itself from them. Oh, and people easily manipulated by social pressures (OMG I need the right colored text bubble!) will deeply overpay for a subpar device.















  • Ban-happy trash mods is what got me here! LOL!

    r/mildlyinfuriating had a post about stores locking up their products. I said “thank the criminals”…that was it. PERMABANNED! I was confused and asked why. They said that “all of you racists are getting banned”…so I let them know that not only am I not racist, AND we likely have aligned ideologies, but it never occurred to me to read that sentence as racist! 3-day mute and told if I never contact them again they will report me for harassment.

    Of the several complete BS bans I have received, ONE was legit. On r/blackpeopletwitter I was mocking something MAGA scum would say to the situation and got banned for racist content…I agreed it was definitely racist, because it was imitating racists…so I didn’t even argue about that one.

    Their ban evasion prevention is a joke, so I just evade them and continue to post sometimes.




  • I have too many other things to worry about, to make myself hate meat. That said, I understand there is terrible shit happening in that industry, most militant vegans I have crossed paths with are wearing an apple watch and Nikes…so, I can’t take them seriously. We all pick our battles. In the end, work harder on making fake meat great. Get on it vegans, fund the research and go to school for it! If I can get my animal proteins and whatever else from a burger thqt I can’t tell came from a lab, I will never buy farmed meat again, just like that, overnight. If you sit in front of a dairy isle with pictures of sad cows, I am going reach past you, get my milk, and forget you exist in 2 isles. A lot of people are not actively against your cause, we just don’t care either way. Be more effective.
