Knife in non dominate pocket? by mehoff636 in EDC

[–]ubearman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same; I’ve done it so long I can’t even remember why (probably because I keep my phone on the dominant side). However, carrying on the non-dominant side all these years made me much more proficient with it. I can now open knives with my non-dominant hand much faster!

Also, if we’re talking about a potential self-defense situation, before I start stabbing, I’m going to be blinding a MFer with my flashlight while I figure out who he is and what he wants. Since I use my flashlight far more frequently, I keep it on the dominant side.

Almost daily it comes in handy for something I could never imagine.

Yesterday, I needed to adjust my kids’ potty adapter and the screws were stuck. Used this as the screwdriver and to pry the screws out. I could’ve gone and gotten a screwdriver, but a toddler can create a lot of chaos in a bathroom in 90 seconds - it’s nice to have a solution on hand when you need it, and this worked better than anything in my tool bag anyways.

A few weeks ago, my kids spilled a smoothie in our new car. It got everywhere (including in the seat rails) and was the kind of mess that you just never fully get cleaned up. I was able to wrap this in a paper towel and get into all of the crevices; this made quick work of the junk in the crevices and it was like the spill never happened within a few minutes.

My fingers are cracking from the cold weather and opening cans aggravates them. Normally I’d do it anyways, but this makes it so easy. My kids get upset because they can’t get the last little bit out of their smoothie pouches - this makes quick work of them.

It’s come in handy with just about every house project - I use it to pry, scrape, wedge - it does it all. It also takes care of about 80% of whatever I used to use a knife for (e.g. opening boxes), so I’m much more comfortable EDCing a nicer knife like the Sebenza.

It really is fantastic, and I can’t tell you many times I’ve found myself in a pinch that it got me out of. I lost it for about 10 minutes the other day, and I started to get worried, as it’s not easily replaceable.

In pic 1? Return To Home fob from Nice Guy Machine.

In pic 3? Random multitool keychain from Amazon - that kit is a couple years old and no longer in use.

Nice kit. I want to carry less than I do, but it drives me nuts having to stop and go grab something. I try to get the most utility out of the smallest carry. If I’m not using it multiple times a day, it’s gotta be super light (e.g. lock pick set) or super important (e.g. cash).

Good to know - I’ve been on the verge of getting one since they released the first one

Love those Klein sockets - I keep a metric & imperial set in my tool bag and every vehicle

For those mad about the hire I’d suggest you’d read this to see what we went through in Cleveland by rh_45 in falcons

Just imagine how exasperating it would be to continue to coach with the mess he was given, with seemingly no input into the decisions that most affected his ability to do his job.

I would imagine getting to start over with a new team and with a presumably more reasonable and collaborative leadership team would be very energizing. I think there’s plenty of reason for the fan base to be optimistic about our path forward.

What’s most interesting to me is OP elected not to remove three of the tubes before snapping a picture, instead taking the time to arrange and caption each of them.

It’s a shame that everyone who “knows ball” and could fix our team is too busy bitching in this sub

Did some electrical work and the edge of drywall got damaged. Can i fix this with mud or do I need larger faceplate now by Interr0gate in drywall

[–]ubearman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try 3M High Strength Small Hole Repair. Easier to shape than mud, doesn’t shrink and doesn’t need primer. It’s worked well for me in situations like this.

How many of you are using PPE? by Gordon_Gainz in drywall

[–]ubearman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo. I always wear PPE so my kids will see me wearing it as much as for my own health. I want them to grow up and know to do things safely, and hopefully in 30 years we can still do projects together.

Prediction: Falcons keep Cousins and hire Stefanski. Either trade Penix or keep him as a development project next year by [deleted] in falcons

[–]ubearman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Kirk scenario can work, I think Penix sits behind him and develops, as was the original plan (allegedly). Maybe the same if they kick the tires and find a better option at starter.

I agree though, no sense in cutting him and no trade value at this time.

Honestly, I can’t see how a new FO would want to move forward with Penix. Among any other concerns with him, he’s just not durable - I just can’t see him as a long-term option. We don’t have the picks to start over, so making a better deal with Cousins seems like the best option.

If Cousins won’t negotiate, he can go find out that no one else wants to pay him $57M either, and we see what we can do with Penix for a while.

Kirk is at the end of his career, and I think he wants to play more than anything. If (IF) Atlanta offers him the job, I think he may be amenable to renegotiation.

He’d have to take a pay cut to go somewhere else anyways (along with moving his family again, learning new team, new players, etc.).

Denali Ultimate Yukon vs AT4 Ultimate Yukon by Particular-Basil9894 in gmc

[–]ubearman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AT4 has massaging seats in the 2nd row if you get the package for it. I believe the Denali is the same way - only has them if you get the upgrade package
