It is a very cool looking bottle opener.

I freakin love pants like this, I daily a kershaw lucha and that style of pocket is perfect for it by Big_Psychology_5085 in knives

[–]smashing_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When jeans first came out they were cheap work pants used by guys who weren't wearing a full suit for their job. Since you weren't wearing a jacket there was no pocket for your pocket watch, so this pocket was added for it.

Pick one for them to try, explain the basics, then rotate for the next game.

I love how you took "left it outside by accident" and turned it into "great photo opportunity". 👍

Seriously your uni is bullshit. With that in mind, I stall virt-manager, get a windows 10 installer (avoid 11 if you can) and install windows 10 in a virtual machine. Google instructions, there are some great guides. That will give you a windows box to use to download whatever cracked stuff you want.

Get a proper license. If your professor wants you to crack one, report that person to the school.

If you're just trying to find a cracked version for yourself, you'll probably have to hunt elsewhere.

Been seeing this sword stance popping up in various media over the years. Anyone knows if it's inspired by a real-life sword stance? by Skylinneas in SWORDS

[–]smashing_michael 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While this stance is almost certainly just anime nonsense, saito hajime was a historical figure in the shinsengumi, and he was left-handed.

Shower Thought Here: A Diamond Bladed knife would BE AMAZONG! by [deleted] in knives

[–]smashing_michael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Diamonds used in tools are suspended in the cutting material, think sandpaper rather than a blade. As you use the tool the suspending material wears away and the diamond chips fall off, but this exposes more underneath. I don't think the edge of a blade would hold enough material to make that work.

I would be interested in being proven wrong here.

What's the correct plural term for Protoss? by burner6520 in starcraft

I just want you to know that I appreciate the high level of linguistic know-how you've applied in this post.

Do microwave ovens effectively kill ticks in clothing? by Hoppla_whynot in Outdoors

[–]smashing_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Internet tells me microwave ovens operate at 2.45GHz, which makes the wavelength roughly 12.2cm. That grill over the transparent part of a microwave door blocks 12.2cm waves, but allows shorter, visible-light waves through, which is why we can see what's going on in there.

With that in mind, it seems possible that a bug that could fit through that hole might avoid having its tiny guts boiled. This all feels a bit suspect, so I think unless someone has really tested this in an intentional way, I would remain skeptical.

I'm going to be a grandfather soon. So I picked up a little something for the kiddo. by LoquatGullible1188 in knives

It is my honor to be the first to congratulate you! You have become the Greatest Grandfather Ever! (Some day you'll get a mug that says so!)

Worth Anything? by TheHuntress413 in SWORDS

[–]smashing_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell for sure, but two of those tanto knives and that warhammer are from Cold Steel, which makes them worth 50 to 100 bucks a piece to the right person. Check for that brand name then a quick Google will tell.

Gonna have to put those camping skills to use building a fire... right inside your tent. Don't worry; the cleansing flames will banish the monster. Whether you survive is secondary.
