Everything beyond the Dewey decimal system is/was pretty unnecessary, imo. We created a way to organize and “quickly” locate information stored in a physical format.

The near complete lack of manual labor has had many long reaching effects on society.

I type this on my brand new flagship phone…

You are assuming everyone lives within a mile of a bus stop and has a safe road with sidewalks or bike lanes to get to that bus stop.

Worked great when I moved from Google to Spotify due to YTM. A few songs didn’t transfer correctly, a few saved as covers of the original but as they shuffled I’d just manually search them and correct it.

No… Not unless I bring them. I service fire alarms so I could be on some near abandoned building on the reserve in the Everglades and scrub in to a hospital operating room same day. Schedules and plans go out the window and the amount of crap I have to carry in my vehicle is insane. Multi use tools are almost a necessity.

But my job rarely needs a PH, 1/8" flat is probably 99% of what I need. If I need a PH then it’s much more involved and I will grab my tool pouch. It’s just unnecessary for my daily carry. Even at home if I need a PH then I take the 12 steps from my front door to my work truck and grab my pouch. So no… To me it’s not worth $11. You are correct on $11 not making that much of difference but if I am going to carry an additional item then it’s going to be bare minimum necessities so spending $11 on something I really don’t want to carry around on the maybe once a month I would use it then I may as well just go buy a couple snickers bars and throw them away. Why spend the money? I’ll probably never notice $11 in my account, you are correct. Why don’t I just carry around the 3 pound SAK I already own?

For $11 more… Yea, Id agree, a PH isn’t really worth the upgrade. Don’t need a bottle opener while at work.

This will do 99% of what I need daily… For $21.

Payday…

Never really looked at all the options Victorinox has. I have a massive Swiss Champ I was gifted but only regularly use the scissors, knife and toothpick… I can have a tiny one with those tools for $22?!?
