That’s the pliers I mentioned in my original comment…

Because of what I EDC (literally, just what I listed before, plus keys, phone, wallet, paper and pen), the toolbag at my work, and its contents, stays in my employee locker for weeks at a time. I did forget to mention a 4.5, maybe 5 inch folding pocket-knife, whict I use for … let’s say kiosks/“atm”/point-of-sale/arcade/digital signage repair … more than you, or even I when I threw it in the bag on a whim, might expect.

Other than a pump, I’m not sure where my EDC falls short for biking, although I do also have a torque-wrench, metric impact socket-set, a couple large Crescent Wrenches, plus the normal oem-kit I keep in my SUV (unrelated, but plus my family’s roller-skates, swim-suits, sweaters, climbing gear, cargo-straps and towing stuff). That car is also the over-flow for stuff I don’t usually use in the garage or have too many of though. I actually despise all but the beefiest Crescent wrenches.

Sounds like you don’t deal with nuts & bolts much? I also carry a pair of “needle-nose” vice-grips, a Kobalt 13-in-1 Double Drive screw-driver, 2 sets of impact nut-drivers, this thing, and a quarter-inch ratcheting box-wrench. Don’t go more than a few days without using all of it, several times over.

My Knipex Mini Pliers. Literally open large (and strong)enough to handle every nut or bolt I encounter at my day-job, but they way about nothing and take up almost no space in the tool-bag I keep on my belt at all times.

I was rooting for this therapy, but not at the expense of exposing vulnerable people to all the hokum that Lykos was apparently trying to spike it with. FDA made the right call for now.

No, I meant I was following your comment, as I am interested in the answer to your question.

We need a way to watch for replies to comments without commenting ourselves… (not an answer to your question, sorry)

PC for “real” gaming. Phone for casual stuff, although I’ll stream better games when my connection is good enough.

Those agencies are under the executive branch, and its been made very clear in the past that they prefer sneaking in backdoors to valid best practices.

The NSA sabotaging the Elliptic Curve method of random number generation used in the RSA algorithm comes to mind. They would otherwise be THE experts to trust, but lets look at the others:

FBI - Waco, Ruby Ridge, planned to assassinate Martin Luther King and so many others. CIA - promotes fascism internationally, causing all sorts of chaos in Latin America and the Middle East. Ever wonder how Komeni’s faction overthrew the Shah? The CIA decided he had gone soft.

Germany is so trusting of the US on cyber-security measures that their government has been trying to ditch Windows for over a decade.

TL;DR: In the US, government experts do NOT have your personal security best interests at heart. They can and will use any dirty trick possible to spy on and control both our own citizens and those of other countries. Last authories that anyone should trust.

More like r/nothingeverhappens God, it gets old interacting with r/thathappened peeps. We get it, you don’t believe a downvote is enough, or are “too good” to use downvotes. No one cares.

Is thirty years really all they have digitized? Jesus, that’s weaksauce.

Most people who have blogs don’t even realize that’s what they are making with their stream-of-consciousness posts.

A few short chainposts can be screen-shot and make it onto other (granted, often even worse)platforms like so. Facebook and Twitter are both better at showing a collection of pictures, likely readable without even clicking, than they are at showing or previewing long-form content.

That’s even without accounting for pic-centric platforms like Instagram or Tumblr…

Would you mind linking communities like so in the future please?

Tin Snips and/or a nibbler. The tool, not the Futurama character. Also, for what one or two taps and dies will run you, one might as well buy them in sets

… or handbrake-cli

I was going to suggest there should be a way to run handbrake locally while pointing its under-the-hood functions to handbrake-cli (also, yes, there’s handbrake-cli) hosted on your server, but I found this instead:

godsspeed, OP

I was gonna suggest there might be a “too dumb to program for the profit of others”, but … yeah, even if your pay and code is a financial detriment, we can pretty much promise it’ll be an insignificant portion of the money that company is costing itself. You gotta eat, and practice is practice.

That said, advice remains the same: program on company time towards a path you don’t care about beyond covering your ass and trying to deliver what’s been demanded(I’m not saying don’t do your best, just keep it to what you can do on the clock), and see that as practice for passion projects on the side. Save a little bit of that no-fucks-given/objectivity for objectively testing and fixing your code - fix it like someone else made the mistake, and you can do it better, but at the same time something must ship(don’t let perfect be the enemy of good).

It is now.
