@Twitchy1 @yA3xAKQMbq personally I think a passable flathead and philips head are good components of an EDC - with the rambler you get the best goddamn philips there is without carrying a much bigger SAK

But the biggest improvement - the blade opens away from the key ring, instead of towards it. Don't discount that

For something you carry daily, can you not justify the $11? Most of us here aren't struggling to the point that that money makes any meaningful difference

@aulin I don't use data and wanted to be able to use the internet on my break at work

@xmunk @Sprite A dark pattern I DESPISE is the public WiFi at a local grocery store - after agreeing to the network's TOS you have to sign up for their newsletter to continue... unless you scroll down and click an un-highlighted button that says "no thanks, take me to wifi"

@xmunk @Sprite If your design rules emphasize contrast, it would be poorer design to highlight both buttons and it's not in the colour palette to have a 'mild' highlighting like Windows used to have (I think some KDE desktop themes do this too) that suggests which button is the accept button, but doesn't give the other ones zero highlighting.

@Pratai @Jakeroxs I hardly use emojis and I don't accept your answer either, because the premise of "nobody old uses them if they want to be taken seriously" just isn't true.

If you base your argument around a fact, which turns out to be false, that's okay, just accept when people point that out, or look it up to confirm or deny your fact.

If you simply think emojis are immature and you don't like them, that's an opinion, which is more respectable.

@Thanatos931 @clark Worth noting that all of this is dependent on housing being attainable. Here in Victoria, :canparrot: rent for a room is often $1000CAD - nobody gets their own place unless they work full time, and well above minimum wage.

Your best bet in this situation is to get a room in a house full of people you like being around, and stay there as long as possible. If you've got a place to yourself, stay there. If you can live healthily with your parents, stay there.

@C4d @scytale It's nice when people actually know how to take care of a knife. It's WAY MORE IMPORTANT to know how to cook, shop, and plan meals, but there are two basic things you should know:

- Don't drag the blade along the fucking cutting board! Stop it. Use the back (spine) instead when pushing food off
- Swipe it along the honing rod at a 15-30 degree angle every now and then when you notice it feeling sluggish or dull - look it up if you're not sure

@waterbogan @YoBuckStopsHere Genuinely curious, how the fuck would we enforce such a law? How many children will be hidden and illegitimate because they were born to someone not allowed to conceive?

I suppose child protective services or your local equivalent exists for this reason - you could expand their ability to take kids away from birth onwards if the parents meet those definitions.
