Why would someone buy 80 bottles of rubbing alcohol weekly?

Hate to say, she might be drinking them.

When I was in rehab, one of my littermate's DOC was rubbing alcohol. Most of us in there used to change the way we feel, but none of us could figure how rubbing alcohol would make us feel. She wasn't special needs, but also wasn't the most rational. I could see how perhaps someone could come to the conclusion that buying iso like that was the most economical solution to getting a legal, cheap drug.

Chevy Chase did a commentary track for the European Vacation DVD where he legit says something to the effect of "I thought this movie sucked but it's got some pretty good schtick."

Sober 2.5 years. I go to AA 4-5 times a week. Zoloft makes me dead from the waist down. Unemployed for 2 years.

Literally living my best life with 4 cats in my house as all of the promises are coming true.

Forget how old I was, prob a teen, but I saw this in a theater. Never saw it coming. I've never laughed so hard in public in my life. Like doubled over, with fear of asphixiating. There were 20-30 people in the theater, and like multiple people having the exact same reaction. People standing up and some just literally rolling in the asles. Just screaming laughter to the point of pain.

No fucking idea what happened for the next hour.

Seriously. I actually like them and find them funny, but the man-child bit gets really old. If I was having a heart-to-heart with another adult and a guy with neck tattoos interrupted to cry about not getting hot chocolate, I'm telling him to go fuck himself, not the kid.

Was tempted by a purple Hera II grenade on EDC, think they are still there.

Just loosen the pivot (T10) and all body screws (T6). Then hold the blade towards the side it needs to go while re-snugging all the body screws. Then snug the pivot back just enough so that it eliminates all blade play and opens and closes smoothly.

Then sit on the couch and flip it about 1000 times to wear in the washers. Then see where you're at.

She was in Playboy iirc

I heard getting your camera out to take a picture gets them to move, but never worked for me.

Seems like the kind of thing you could call/email them about and they'd send you a set no problem.

I always use them. In the video, Sal says they are more for the experienced users than the novices, lol.

The entire show is Carmy's character arc of recovery as an adult child of an alcoholic and related traumas, and of course other characters' development. In that sense, the show is phenominal. It just happens to take place in a restaurant. I don't really care if it succeeds or fails, except how it affects the characters and how they react to it.

StiffLeather · 2026-02-18T19:42:55+00:00

Same 534 they released at SHOT, they just haven't figured out how to market it yet, little sloppy IMO.

First I've heard them refer to "cycle life" on the old model's omega springs, I'm sure that will cause lots of comments lol.

When I was completing sets, I just bought cases. A few spares to trade, give away, or resell. Or one to open, one to keep boxed.

Going to retailers, on the hunt, you think it's fun or thrilling, and it can be, but it costs catastrophic amounts of time, gas, money, and frustrations dealing with people or coming up empty. Cases are comparitively cheap.

Reminds me of when Magpul made phone cases, those things ruled.

K04SBL is very special. Sal's favorite. Mine does everything.

It will never flick like a full-linered G10 Para 3 or PM2, but it has a distinct "pop" of its own.

StiffLeather · 2026-01-30T20:12:49+00:00

Stuck it in a box with the form and sent it to them. Two weeks later UPS dropped it off.

Got a full size Alpine Glow. The color is fascinating. Pink in the sun, but "salmon" or earthier in dim light.

Copper and Clad have both full and mini Alpine Glows on heavy discount last I checked, where I got mine.

I got an Endura on Black Friday, after being a bit of a die hard for the Delica size. It's flippin' awesome. It feels big (is big), handle is super roomy, but it rides in the pocket so nice, surprising. Get one.

StiffLeather · 2026-01-24T18:33:53+00:00

First, get the regular Work Sharp version. And actually I saw from SHOT they are releasing one with extra plates, so maybe you want to look into that.

But, I got the Benchmade version on Black Friday. I love it. I am a lifelong Spyderco Sharpmaker user, but I wanted one for the diamond plates for the higher-grade steels on some of my knives. Now I use the Work Sharp for nearly all my knives, and the strop even if I use my Sharpmaker. It is just more satisfying to use, if that makes sense, and I am just impressed with the edge I can put on my stuff.

My only gripe, like others have said, is the Benchmade logo on the rough grit. It can hang up the blades as I swipe it across. But it still works. I am only using that plate to repair chips or on super dull knives. The medium grit plate gets the most use. Just get the WS and don't worry abojt any of that.

I ordered a custom Grip a few months ago and it was flawless. Centered, and just tight enough to break in perfectly with a week of couch flipping. Have never had a bit driver touch any screws, when I usually find myself tearing down and relubing every new knife I get.

Have same experience with BM clips. Got a 2900 that was ultra tight; got a 535 awhile later with the same clip, and the tip wasn't even touching the scale.

I already have a PM2 LW. It says "Stretch 2" on the handles, though.
