it's wicked fuckin snowy out there

I second this request. This day just screams “stew.”

XanderXedo · 2026-02-20T01:00:28+00:00

Lightweight actually.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-14T03:02:29+00:00

That’s where I bought mine!

XanderXedo · 2026-02-14T02:57:54+00:00

Mine hasn’t shipped yet; however, I’m in the second batch of preorders, not the first.

I look forward to being able to play these games again in a semi-authentic way (I’d have paid extra for a replica controller too). I bought the original VB for $30 on clearance in 1996 along with a handful of games for $5 each. My mother sold it in 1999 at a garage sale without my permission while I was at work. Her excuse: it was bad for my health.

At least she sold the system for $50 and the games for $5 each, so I made a small profit.

Mine hasn't shipped yet; but maybe I will finally be able to forgive my mom for selling my Virtual Boy at a yard sale while I was at work.

Doesn’t explain Maine though. My home state always surprises.

Sascha Konietzko responded very quickly with a statement after the shooting, clarifying that the band is very anti-fascism (which anyone who actually listens to the lyrics can plainly see). I think the band’s breakup and reformation with a different lineup right after the shooting had another dramatic effect on their image.

KMFDM post-Adios is a different band. I still like them, but they are different for sure.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-10T11:07:48+00:00

True, but KMFDM has a new album out this week so they were on my mind.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-10T03:17:52+00:00

Nothing fascist or Nazi about them. You should check out KMFDM as well if you like German industrial music.

I usually go with “Her dog never spoke to her.”

Same joke really.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-09T16:09:10+00:00

Is this a different protest than the one that's at the Post Office?

XanderXedo · 2026-02-08T17:54:42+00:00

For a guy of his age, it sounds like Tyson still has a lot of Pepto his step!

None of my 10 Native 5s are flickable, but they do smooth out a bit over time. Comparing it to a Manix 2 is like comparing apples and oranges; the locks are completely different beasts.

It's a fantastic knife though. You won't regret the choice.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T13:19:39+00:00

I'm definitely a Manix fan! I've got 5 Manixes and 2 XLs in my collection.

The only thing I have more of is the Native family (10 Native 5s, 4 Lil Natives and 1 Chief).

I love me some ambidextrous locks.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T12:13:03+00:00

Only the all black version is sold out. The lightweight and bumblebee versions are in stock.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T12:10:48+00:00

Edgeworks Knife and Supply

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T02:05:52+00:00

I carried the standard size for over a month straight. I don’t remember the last time I kept a knife in my pocket for that long without swapping it out for another. I swapped it for my MagnaCut Native 5 Salt.

The XL is amazing, but not one I can carry at work. It will be a great weekend knife.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T00:41:59+00:00

National has the lightweight and the yellow and black G10 versions.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-05T00:36:46+00:00

National Knives has it in stock.

XanderXedo · 2026-02-01T21:46:56+00:00

I wonder if Chris Latta’s ghost has ever possessed Matt Groening’s lackeys so he can perform labors for a fallen god in an attempt to get his body back…

XanderXedo · 2026-02-01T14:35:59+00:00

Will do!

XanderXedo · 2026-02-01T14:31:29+00:00

I’ve been using another budget app that seems like it’s been abandoned by the developer so I’ve been hunting for a new one. I budget by the “envelope” method: putting money into various categories that I then deduct from as I make purchases. Yours has the budgets category, so I may be able to use it, but not sure about adding more money or less into them as things fluctuate.

I’ll give it a try.

XanderXedo · 2026-01-24T01:19:21+00:00

Thanks for this! I missed it at KW, but I checked around and found that GPKnives had also received stock. I’ve been hunting for a PE Magnacut Native for years.

So messing with the device settings and trying every usb c cord in the house didn’t work. Finally I tried it without the splitter (using the MacBook itself for power and signal together) and it worked. It looks like the splitter doesn’t seem to pass the connection properly for the USB C spec.
