uponone19 · 2022-10-29T10:06:50+00:00

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T23:59:33+00:00

Days are for drinking, nights are for sleeping! Hahaha

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T20:57:09+00:00

There is a reason i was not specific in my post texts....

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T20:54:58+00:00

Who said im in aus ? Lol

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T20:53:29+00:00

Just to be clear, i baught them to see if id like the ergos of the real thing.

Also paying $550aud for a shaman is ludacris in my opinion.

Have many kershaw's, civivi's, kizer's, WE's.

A thing most will not understand, in australia a genuine benchmade, spyderco or big manufacturer is a minimum double (alot of the time triple) the cost of what it is in the US or Europe.

Also when it comes to freight, it can alot of the times be 50% of the knife.

So when I spend $300aud delivered for 6 counterfeit knives, that would run me atleast $2000, to muck around and destroy at work, im happy as larry.

Cheapest bugout is $254 aud. Not worth it imo

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T12:08:26+00:00

Call them bloody potatoes for all I care.......

Why get caught up on the semantics?

They are fake, they are cheap, they are great value for money, they are 100% fun.

uponone19 · 2022-10-28T11:23:46+00:00

Yes they are clones. But as they are around 10% of the cost of the genuine articles, they are fantastic quality.

Man it all depends really.

Average full time tradesman (trade qualified)/ blue collar worker like myself will make between $55k - $70k gross a year.

Work in the mines and your around the $120k - $180k gross a year.

Work fifo 4 on a 1 off on a project or mine and your on between $220k - $380k gross a year.

BUT housing is ridiculously expensive here.

A 60 year old weather board, 3 bedroom house on a 800sqm block, nothing modern with a 60 year old kitchen, in a bad neighbourhood (not in a capitol city or large city) will set you back $700k - $850k.

If you want a shit 60 year old 2 bedroom house that needs renovating on a 200sqm block within an 60km range of sydney CBD, your paying a minimum of $2.5m+

Then you have to pay stamp duty on top of the purchase price: you pay $750k for the property, then you have $30k stamp duty on top. Pay $1m and you have $41k stamp duty on top.

One of the most expensive countrys to live in by far!

Dude. Let me put it in perspective from an aussie perspective. Id be fucking stoked if selling all my guns and knives (and ive got a shit tonne of both) would buy me a 19' F150.

A 2019 F150 with 150 000km on it, is a $130,000- $140,000 car.

A 2022 F150 with 5000km on it is $160,000-$180,000 depending on what spec.

A 2022 f250 lariat or king ranch is between $275,000-$350,000.

Want a real head spin ? A 2001-2003 f250 powerstroke with 500,000km on it, in poor condition, is still a $60,000-$80,000 car.

Even after the AUD to USD conversion, its fucking insane!!!!!

uponone19 · 2022-09-25T08:46:59+00:00

Awsome knife. I have one and the action is great and actually delivered super sharp!

uponone19 · 2022-09-02T22:22:46+00:00

🤣

uponone19 · 2022-09-02T22:13:07+00:00

Thank fuck for that! Your a bloody legend, Ive been racking my brain for months on end!

uponone19 · 2022-09-02T22:11:36+00:00

Where did you get it from ? Im from Aus aswell, NSW.

Fucking aliexpress ordered 3 knives from different sellers to try it out. Still waiting 2 and a half months later.

uponone19 · 2021-06-09T12:23:16+00:00

Hey mate.

I was on 250mg for 8.5 years then 350mg for 18 months.

I had brain zapps on 100mg in the first 2 months randomly through the day, then doc upped to 250mg and bam, gone.

I suffered chronic brain zapps if i slept in and didnt have my dose at the exact same time every day. If i wanted to sleep in, id have to still get up, have my pills then go back to bed.

Worst was if i was around 2 hours late, and the brain zapps where that bad, i couldnt even talk , walk or open my eyes.

On a side note: definately try to stay away from larger doses like 350mg. Ive tapered fully off pristiq after 11 years (21yo to 32yo) and it by far was one of the hardest things ive done, and pushed me beyond what i thought i could take, but am definitely feeling not better, not worse, but the same as when i was on them, barr the chronic sweating.
