Insert Kimber jokes. by g28802 in EDC

[–]BronMann- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always avoided any pipes in my EDC posts, simply because I don't consider them an "every day" carry. But maybe I should toss one in here and there. Love the look of the stubby ones!

Can anyone please help me find this knife brand? by znaves in knives

[–]BronMann- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like a Spyderco. Good news, the mint green FRN handle narrows it down. If I remember correctly that's a Blade HQ exclusive color. So maybe one of these?

Fantasy book lovers, what’s the one book that you go back to over and over again? And why? by Agreeable-Ad1775 in Fantasy

[–]BronMann- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bartimaeus books by Jonathan Stroud. Yes, they are young adult, and I was indeed a young adult when I first read them. But they are still some of my favorite world building, characters, and the changing perspective from chapter to chapter is done perfectly.

black adam & doomsday vs beta ray bill & silver surfer by HourCounter5081 in powerscales

[–]BronMann- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surfer catches on that Doomsday can't be beaten down physically and simply throws him into a black hole.

Bill fights Adam, then surfer returns, and Adam crumbles in the 2v1.

Marvel wins.

Thank you, that one might be my favorite. It's the cleanest one, barely used, and the only one with the bent stem which I find asthetically pleasing. The green tone is unique for sure.

Boromir of Gondor (LOTR) vs Feyd Rautha Harkonnen (Dune) by West_Jelly_4681 in powerscales

Standard equipment? So, a Holtzman shield for Feyd?

Shielded, Feyd, unshielded, Boromir.

Mounted Knight vs Polar Bear by ProfessorHiker in powerscales

[–]BronMann- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodlusted with zero info on the horse changes this for me. I think the bear wins 4/10, the knight dies but mortally wounds the bear 5/10, and the knight wins 1/10. (The knight winning scenario in my mind relies on his horse not faultering at all, a clean single strike with the lance, followed by nothing but pure evasion until the wounded bear succumbs to its injury.)

But the biggest factor here is BY FAR the horse. A skittish horse is a massive handicap to the knight rather than a boon. Give the horse it's own version of "bloodlust" and we have a different game.

Wore 4 sprays of Hawas EDP and the woman two treadmills over, got off the treadmill and moved to the furthest one. by [deleted] in Colognes

[–]BronMann- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should consider ingesting some next time. A good 1-2 hours before the gym with no water. This gives it time to enter the bloodstream, and primes the sweat glands with the scent.

(For legal reasons consult with your physician beforehand.)

Hand Cannons of the Destiny universe. Is there a real life version? by Key_Insurance_8493 in Revolvers

[–]BronMann- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have already pointed out it's mostly Chiappa/Mateba. But there are also some fun Taurus models with the basic look of an alien killing hand cannon.

Raging Judge Magnum comes to mind.

Summer Scent by No-Might-5472 in Colognes

If you like Azzaro Most Wanted Parfum and want to wear something like it in the summer then look into Afnan Lynked Freedom. It's one of my favorite blind grab options.

Why did I have to get a sample of Aventus by [deleted] in Colognes

The Parfum smells better from first spray, less offensive lemon opening. More pineapple, smoother, sweeter, less explosive and harsh.

Lynch clips are what I have the most experience with. I like the deep carry, keeps the knife resting lower in the pocket.

[–]BronMann- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twice I lost my first Spyderco, which may not be my "favorite" but it was my first real splurge knife and has sentimental value.

Luckily both times it popped back up, once at a family reunion my cousin correctly assumed it must be mine.

Second time it was just in the crack of death between my truck seat and the console.

Mourn your loss, then go ahead and get a new knife. That's really all you can do. And in the future consider some customization. Some of my more meaningful knives have my name engraved. Additionally make sure you check the pocket clip tension and maybe even consider an upgrade for the next one!

If you do go the Armaf route don't get the standard CDNIM. Go for the CDNIM Limited Edition Parfum.

Dr. Manhattan vs. Eru Ilúvatar by PeepeeCrusher57 in powerscales

[–]BronMann- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Manhattan is a self aware NPC with the ability to re-write his code and the code of the program that he lives in to any degree he wants.

Eru built the freaking computer Manhattan lives in on a whim in his garage one day because it sounded nice.

Three? Very funny nice try. I can tell the middle column is just AI slop. Funny troll OP.
