@brb @MrJameGumb As someone who carries a swiss army knife and flashlight everywhere, I get the point of "carrying all that garbage". But I agree that minimalist wallets have gotten too popular these days and regular wallets that actually make using cash convenient are hard to find.
It seems like everyone pays with plastic nowadays - or their phone with some proprietary system developed by big tech. I can be lazy, but prefer to use cash
@pineapplelover Maxlvledc on YT has a couple videos on EDC pens including specifically affordable ones, you'll have plenty of ideas to choose from after watching that.
Edit: I didn't read your original post over on Lemmy, and see you're looking for more premium options. There's still some good premium options in his recent videos, but the comments here seem quite useful anyways
@MrJameGumb @Mothra Oh, there's absolutely truth to it and it could easily be done, but you're right that picking locks isn't that difficult either. Long story short, locks on doors have always been a deterrent from people breaking in, not a hard block. That's how it always will be, and I think that's okay
If you're a celebrity or "content creator" though I would highly recommend against ever showing your keys online
@MrJameGumb @shalafi The broccoli at my grocery store is usually pink or yellow bands. Specifically within this chain they use pink bands to mark organic produce but the conventional broccoli also came with pink bands. We have a whole stash at home of the generic red and blue bands you get on lettuce, carrots etc, quite handy
@SatansMaggotyCumFart Username checks out!
The hank is useful for cleaning one's nose with dignity, cleaning my knife or wiping up a spill
@Chev I point out in my posts that a phone, pocket computer, camera, dopamine rectangle, surveillance device, whatever you want to call it, is (a less important) part of my EDC, and I use it to take the photo.
I do actually carry a thumb drive!
Sure, the cloud works, but to me it's way less clunky to use a thumb drive than upload files over email and download stuff, creating digital clutter. It's also USB-C+A so I can transfer large files from my pocket computer to backpack computer if needed.
@JoeyJoJoJuniour @cetan If you're in Canada, House of Knives is the best place to buy anything new. At their physical stores you can go in and spend plenty of time checking out options, the staff are very helpful and have recommendations. I know many people who went in and had this exact experience.
Sidenote: it's hard to ship knives from US sellers because the CBSA definitions of what's prohibited is way more restrictive than actual Canadian law, insane I know. So HoK is kind of the source.
@otter @phoneymouse Nah that's better, I have a handkerchief that's so thin I don't notice it, which is good, because if I notice something in my back pocket when sitting, then I consider it not ergonomic
