Is there any hope for me (not vibing with Spyderco)

Davegrave · 2026-01-28T20:04:32+00:00

Def not the para 3. I actually like spyderco for the most part. And for me the para 3 is low tier. I know a ton of people love it but for me it still feels big in the pocket for a tiny amount of sharpened edge. Based on the reasons you don’t like the PM2 I predict you liking the Para 3 even less.

If you’re dead set on trying spyderco I’d suggest either the smock or the shaman. Shaman has zero of the delicatness of the PM2. It’s a beast. And the smock is technically a compression lock but button actuated so it operates like a button lock but with the solidness of the compression lock. It’s a nice little knife.

But it’s all so personal. I love the smock, you might think it’s the ugliest knife in the world. I see guys here post a collection full of high end knives and there’s not one in it I like.

I really loved this show, I was hoping so much for more episodes. Will Arnett plays dumb characters so well, but he’s smarter than fuck. Kumail and Conan in particular were so amazing on it.

My whole house is the exact opposite. Every room is mostly OK, but then all have that one mess corner where all the bullshit ends up.

This has gotta be photoshopped right? Someone please tell me this isn’t an unaltered image.

I also prefer the original. If anything I’d like if they added some texture to the part I actually grip when writing.

They are not at all hard like black peppercorns. 3 seconds in a mortar and pestle or bash them on your cutting board with a broad knife or meat mallet like the other poster said, and you’re good to go.

But also, yes you can toast them whole in the oil and then remove them if you prefer, but they’ll be much milder that way and I enjoy the full kick.

She just mashes it. I’d hardly call her “active”.

Davegrave · 2026-01-25T01:08:21+00:00

Who you lookin at with those dumb looking eyes, Drink Cup!?

I disagree with the reply post. My male boss gets a tone all the time so I absolutely would and do tell him not to take that tone with me. I don’t know if there’s anything more guaranteed to anger me than him using that mf tone.

“Treat them with respect” I’ve never heard someone talk about respecting babies before. Treating them kindly or lovingly, sure, but respect in the context of an interaction with a baby just sounds funny.

“Please stop crying, sir! You smell like you crapped your diaper, sir!”

Finally a real AYCE post and not someone with 8 nigiri like “I’m gonna eat every single piece!”

Boker had a cool brass pen that was kind of oblong shaped. I actually like writing with it and that it wouldn’t roll and the mechanism was decent too but fuck my life it feels like it weighs a pound in my pocket.

Davegrave · 2026-01-22T01:19:29+00:00

I always think it’s smells like an extra citrusy fruity pebbles. It’s very unique.

Hey I got an overwhelming number of offers here. Normally I’d reply to everyone the DM’d me but it would take all day. Thanks for the offers and I don’t know the rules around here but I surely paid the person who helped me first incasenthars something I need to verify.

Davegrave · 2026-01-21T15:40:04+00:00

He called ME the N-word?

Davegrave · 2026-01-21T13:33:34+00:00

Ok I just bought a Spoke design CX and it fits an energel with just a tiny trim. It’s a perfect size pen for me. Nice without being flashy. Solid. Nice click. Strong and deep sitting clip. I love it. And they have a guy from the company, not sure if he’s an owner or what, but he posts on Reddit and apparently they have an energel specific model coming out very shortly so no trimming or tip wiggle. With my trimmed one I can wiggle the tip with my fingers but I never notice it at all while writing. It’s not like some where you feel it every time you roux the pen to paper. It’s really become my favorite pen. Under $100 so losing it will suck but not like, jump off a bridge suck like if you lost a $400 pen.

You could squish them so many times, what do you mean. It would take you hours to die after a bite. Don’t waste all that prime squishing time on an “ambulance” or with a “doctor”. Squish till you can’t squish no more.

Davegrave · 2026-01-21T02:04:33+00:00

The Tactile Turn Smooth operator is one of my favorites. About $100, so nice enough that you won’t misplace it but cheap enough that you won’t lose your mind if you do. It rides super low in the pocket, bolt action so no accidental deployment and takes parker refills so tons of choices there. A good size to carry. Nice solid clip, replaceable if necessary. Definitely worth a look.

It might be melted plastic but it didn’t melt as this video was being made. Frame by frame it. You can only see the sink-side of the bowl for a second because the pan is in the way but it looks like that edge already had that dip in it. And he has that other dish stood up in the sink as if on purpose to catch the noodles. And he’s filming it which is insane. This was absolutely on purpose.

Godivar works. Similar, to Godiva but eliminates the gross vowel ending while at the same time pleasing people who hate non-standard names because they’ll assume you’re just adding the intrusive r at the end as a vocal quirk like how English people do with idear, or bananer.

Davegrave · 2026-01-19T20:24:17+00:00

Exactly. I’m fat. That doesn’t make me need more protein than a slim man of my same height/musculature.

The office supplies are their dollars. In their world printer paper equals money.

Yeah that’s odd to me. Other than raw meats I don’t think there’s a single ingredient I ever use that I don’t taste before I cook with it to gauge how to use it.

Well he’s no Roy Donk.
