I use mine daily! It is very useful. I’ve also begun carrying a little pocket flashlight from Olight. It is flatish and clips into my pocket adjacent to the Gerber. I use it all the time too. Back of racks at work and all sorts of opportunities at home too.

Good luck finding the Gerber! Go get it and use it! Say hi to grammy!! ;)

Hope things improve for you, mate.

Yes, in light of keeping the new vehicle for its entire "life" the depreciation argument falls fairly flat. It is more meant for the "average" person who keeps a car for three years or thereabouts. I cannot imagine investing that much money flippantly. I take the time to research what I want and mean to keep my auto for a long time. That said, I prefer a solid used car over new because it has depreciated to a more fair value. I've done both and not been displeased with either choice. Except for one BMW...

lemmy.ca seems nice.

Weed. Okay maybe the pocket knife is better for a general gift as it is highly practical. I have a Gerber I've used for nigh on 20 years. I miss it when I travel, so I've bought an Opinel and toss it into my checked luggage so I am able to use it on a trip. If I lose it, it was not expensive. Had I lost my Gerber, I would be sad.

No shifting, but there exists a transmission in an EV.

Edit: I suppose I am calling even the one or few reduction gears a transmission. Not sure if that technically means it is a transmission.

Lifetime means 100k to BMTroubleU. That's all they expect out of their vehicles. It seems insane to do this with machinery. All machinery needs occasionally to be serviced.

Opera was bought by a Chinese company a couple of years ago. So that tracks there too.

Late to the party here, but in my home gym I set up a teevee with my nVidia Shield so I can watch whatever I want. This really helps with motivation as it rewires the task for more enjoyment. I play whatever comedies I enjoy which distracts from the difficulties that naturally come with working out. If I have a new show to watch, all the better. Silly shows like TPB, Reno911, Corporate, and Peep Show. Just keep them playing and I can keep going (mostly). Made a huge difference and I thought others should know this trick. It helped me to lose 50lbs!

Good luck to you!
