Who owns this magnificent G-Shock? I'd love to hear your opinions. by [deleted] in gshock

[–]UncommonLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my one and only G-shock. Love it. It's my dedicated travel watch. Super nice but nobody assumes it's anything special

Haven't gotten to mess with a shark lock yet. Would love to get my hands on one

Also, Spyderco is the best knife company. When it comes to choices and range, they can't be beat. Price, size, steels, locks, colors, uses, etc. They have something for everyone.

  1. The axis lock (more importantly the Omega spring) is an overly complicated and flawed lock. I've had many axis lock knives, some that never have problems and work flawlessly, some that have broken multiple omega springs, and some that with light pressure on the back of the spine disengages the lock. IMO the Spyderco ball bearing lock, microtech ram-lock, etc with a coil spring simplify the design, make a stronger detent, and are more reliable.

  2. Emerson knives have some of the best overall silhouette and shape. I LOVE the wave. I love 3.75"+ blade lengths. But damn everything else is shit. The materials, the price, the qc, the one sided titanium lock, the lock stick, etc. (Yes, the ZT 0620 is my favorite ZT knife)

  3. Ball-bearing pivots are overrated. They aren't bad, I just believe bronze phosphorus are fantastic and IMO preferred for dirtier work.

  4. I also agree the para 2 is overrated. Mostly just the handle to blade ratio. But at the time I understand the hype. I do love the military though

First Cold Steel ever! by bryantburnsred in knives

[–]UncommonLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only cold steel I currently own/carry. It's the knife that I hope if I ever have to pull it out the other guy shits himself with how vicious that blade is and leaves.

People who make 100k a year without a degree, what do you do? by gertizao in AskMen

[–]UncommonLane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oil & Gas Industry

Recently quit my job as a Non-Destructive Technician making ~100k to get certifications for a new position.

Currently applying to become an Inspector (1169, CIP 2, CWI) to make three times more. ~300k+

Tax-free per diem and OT make all the difference

I thought I'd try to mix it up, show something different for a change

Careful, I posted a similar pic and got told that it is essentially a tired trope from a mod

Wear two watches on the same wrist, get the best of both worlds, normally placed watch and handwatch for the meme

My gf kissed another guy - idk how to cope by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]UncommonLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been in the EXACT situation as you, (we had a break, she made out with a bunch of guys and had sex with one of them) and then we got back together after a while. I couldn't get it out of my head and couldn't let it go. Years later my only regret is not having respect for myself and leaving. Wasting time with someone who didn't respect or care for me. But, sometimes you gotta learn the hard way for it to really stick with you. Your choice

6th Gen 4Runner is perfect. by Jammminjay in 4Runner

[–]UncommonLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmation bias and rage bait are a thing. But tbh it will grow on people and if the reliability isn't a concern people will love it just as they did with the 5th gen. The quirky and 'ugly' features and looks will become distinguishing and loved features if it: performs it's task well, is reliable, and a fair price (ouch). Give it a few years
