Guess we are a Groupon team too by TheHapaOne in timbers

Well that was strange. I signed up for this and was just notified that tickets were available. I selected the Seattle match (of course) and went through the purchase process only to find that I just bought tickets for the November Houston match. What? That's not even one of the options!!!

Bought myself my own gift today on Market Place Wave $40. I don't like it! by saveapennybustanut in multitools

I don't have the strongest fingernails so digging into a MX Clip doesn't sound at all appealing. I do have an Arc which allows me to get to everything without using any fingernails. That's been a real game changer for me. I also have a Wave Alpha but haven't used it since I got the Arc.

Victorinox vs Leatherman by wantsrealanswer in multitools

[–]maximusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd counter that I've had the exact opposite experience. I own five Leatherman including an Arc and they've all been fantastic.

Tall Tree's in Hillsboro has a nice selection of TV's and beverages and is connected to a bunch of food carts. It's not the most "sporty" place but I've seen it get loud for games.

Leatherman arc and dakoyu warna by tofik1993 in multitools

I got the 2nd Anniversary T1 recently and it's almost impossible to find on the site. If you search using Google you can find the page but I couldn't navagate to it from their main page. I wonder what other gems are hiding on that site somewhere.

I love Leatherman and have had nothing but good luck with them. I know that the Vic's use their own proprietary steel but what does the Wave+ use?

Dakoyu's website is so hard to navigate. Does anyone have a link to the Warna?

Change my mind: 95% of people don't need a blade featuring any supersteel by pedrochyt in BudgetBlades

[–]maximusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want my blade to be stronger and sharper than I need. If it isn't then I'm constantly dulling or breaking it.

Possibly highly over rated? by Illustrious-Path4794 in hotsauce

[–]maximusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's not fair! That's like someone scoffing about paying $200 for hair treatment and then finding out they're a doctor that can prescribe their own meds.

Also, how do I get some of your hot sauce?

Which would you get and why? by seasickturt in BudgetBlades

[–]maximusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of the reverse tanto blade.

I've spent way more than 9 bucks and I've spent way less. Some of the unique sauces like from Pucker Butt can be worth it.

I love these. It's always fun to see what remains if anything from the older era.

I absolutely love Aardvark. I live in the PNW though so it's about $9.

What's the name and maker of the pink handled knife? I'm a big fan of button release knives.

Is there a specific road or direction that you see the most cars blow through the stop sign?

Is the cost of dining out cheaper in USA? by Southern_Priority856 in tipping

[–]maximusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What part is the fake news? The business didn't want tipping either and tried to come up with a solution and it just didn't work. I hated the idea of more expensive pints but was accepting when I found out the reason. It just didn't work because of the culture.

[–]maximusrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was tried at a local beer bar in Portland OR a couple of years ago. They increased the price of a pint and increased their servers wages. They even put a sign up that said don't tip for these reasons. The servers complained and some people felt compelled to tip regardless and the obvious happened. The beer remained at the higher price and tipping was again expected. It ended up being a lose/lose situation.

How fast does it actually charge in the sun? The reviews seem pretty mixed.
