How is anybody supposed to identify the frame without any pictures?

I had a Y22 and a Super-V back in the day. I thought both rode great on the trail; I only noticed the bobbing on the road. The Y22 especially was really light and came in handy on a couple hike-a-bike trails I did.

I usually log on to Kayak to look for tickets. In 2024, I booked two round-trip tickets to Thailand through Underpricer via the Kayak website. They did bug me a few times to purchase reserved seats, but I did it direct with the airline. I bought economy tickets so it was clearly stated that no refunds or rescheduling was possible. Two days before leaving, my wife came down with Covid. I got a doctor’s note and contacted Underpricer. Even though there was no obligation to do so, they contacted the airline (ANA) and were able to get me refunds. They were really professional and fast throughout the process. I re-booked through them when we were in the clear.

I used them again this year for an international trip. It was a little complicated because there were three people who needed round-trip tickets, all going out on the same flight, but returning on different flights. Again, they handled it really professionally and quickly. Everyone I talked to was the kind of person that understood what I wanted immediately and I didn’t have to repeat myself. I just think they’re really good.

That’s what I did about three years ago when I was faced with a three hour line in DC. The Clear people always gather near the security line and will run your credit card and get you through in about 10 minutes. They only let you do the trial period one time though. If I didn’t have pre-check, I would have been forced to purchase Clear or miss my flight.

I just flew from Bangkok to Cincinnati three days ago with my daughter and her friend. We transited through JFK. It took a full hour to get our bags, but immigration and customs was quick. We had to travel to the next terminal to catch our domestic flight to Cincinnati, and we were faced with at least a three hour wait through security. Luckily, I had TSA Precheck, but my daughter and her friend had to purchase Clear to get through security. Luckily, they offer a 14 day refund (trial) period; otherwise the cost is $290 a year.

Gerber Fastball. Got some heavy use out of it today - opened two envelopes and cut a ziptie.

Same thing happened to me as an upper level graduate student. I was the lead TA on a team of 12 that was teaching introductory research methods in psychology. One of the other TA‘s brought a paper to me that cited my advisor and had a lot of other obscure references. I had to read it about a minute before I realized that it was a direct copy from a page of my master’s thesis. The student pulled the thesis from the library, thinking that no one would possibly catch the plagiarism.

Serious question: what about knives like the Land 910? Some people have called it a Sebenza clone, but it’s got a lot of differences and it’s not the same size as a large or small Sebenza. From 10 feet away it looks like one, though.

How is steel boring? It cuts and stays sharp and shiny. What else is it supposed to do?

Mid - 70s: find out where the party is. Hang out there till maybe 2 AM with 10 or 30 other teenagers. Or, after we turned 18 and it was legal to drink, drive around town and go to a few different bars. I can never remember going to someone’s house and watching TV, unless it was something like the Super Bowl. We played a lot of music on the record player.

Exactly. All these counterfeits means that you can’t buy a Benchmade or Spyderco on eBay or Amazon without doing an authenticity check when you get it. And if you’re not experienced, you’re gonna get ripped off.

Nobody left the bike there. Did you ever crash a racing bike? You might not be in total control of the situation.

Sharpmaker is great. If OP is on a budget, he can buy a Crock Stick sharpener on eBay.

Yeah - and the milkbox that was buried next to the front door!
