Re: Microplastics Being Found Everywhere
It is definitely a very real problem. I am and have been an advocate for plastics/polymers but I am for safe plastics that do not harm people and the enviroment and animals and plants. If we could move to diamond polymers which are nothing but carbon arranged into a diamond like structure, perhaps ...

Re: Your 3d printer predictions wanted
I think 3D printers will vastly improve in speed and ability. The prices will come down. In 25 years people may have a few 3D printers in their home and shop. - 1 to make parts and tools for the garage....tool and parts suppliers will go under - 1 to prepare/mix food and make mixed drinks/lattes for...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
Spyderco makes a lot of beautiful knives. I cannot afford to buy a hundred knives a year since retiring so I just buy what I think are decent self defense knives.

Re: The evolution of a car kit
I bookmarked this thread. Today we do not have a car, but that will probably change within the next 2 to 3 months. I suggest everyone have a car kit, and a very light go-bag(could be a shoulder sling) and carry this 5lb bag everywhere that you go. You never know if your car will be stolen or you can...

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
For the past 4 years, 90% of my carry knives have included one or more Spyderco knives. It gets so that it is hard to keep track of them when it comes time to wash clothes and accidentally I put my S90V Native Chief through the wash the other day. No rust yet, but it is nice and clean! Well they di...

Re: Beware: Fake Online Knife Shops!
I try and stay away from anything .ru or .cn. I figure if they collect one million ip addresses and the USA has any issues with them, then your system will be one that gets hacked!

Re: Signed up for ChatGPT, GPT-4
I've only used ChatGPT to help with how to reword certain things I've written to come across better, to put on my business website. And I do not use what ChapGPT gives me word-for-word. It gives me ideas on how to phrase things a little better or more efficiently for my business site, and that's al...

Re: Anyone have a card with "fraud prevention services" get in the way of buying stuff?
YES! And it is a major league hassle. My family may be changing a major bank over this very thing. Sure nobody wants to be a victim of fraud. But with this particular bank, we even called them and said a particular wire transfer was good....we were logged into the online account via a desktop system...

No word yet on Amy's soups, but Annie's has been called out for have a high microplastic count. They say to eat organic. They say to eat fresh fruit. ...

Re: Nutritious safe low carb snacks?
In the 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's there were months at a time where I was on ice playing hockey 2 to 3 hours per day. In the offseason I was on ice for just 4 to 5 hours per week, raced bicycles, did martial arts, played tennis and lifted weights. In the mid 80's and 90's there were months where I li...

Re: Is There A Place For The "Rambo" Knife
I have a large Junglass and I might buy an axe, a silky saw or two, and a Magnucut in the 7 to 8 inch range for bushcraft. As far as Rambo knives go, all that I can say is maybe someone can use one but they never seemed well thought out to me. I do not like saws or serrations on knives, which I use ...
