All Chem and bio weapons weren't designed to kill . Even the most lethal of the biologic s that were designed to be were not 100% fatal. Scientists looking at the genetics of COVID quite clearly stated it was artificially enhanced to make it more communicable. We know where it came from so it was ei...

Jim, we are NBC ( or at least BC) free and so are Russia and china. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/07/1186550955/the-world-is-officially-free-of-chemical-weapons-heres-what-that-means The 30,000 tons we alone held are now gone. We had the last of them supposedly. If an attack is done now it wouldn't be...

Read voraciously. Don't be lied too. Read what everyone says. Best advice anyone can give. There are often more than two sides to a story. Most things published now are written to influence the reader. And they have links to the source so all the boxes are checked. You can find all kinds of papers ...

Newsweek has long stopped being journalists and gone to clickbait garbage. I remember when they at least tried.

LC 200n Salt SE . I'm not a stainless guy but I recall being outdoors and wet for weeks at a time in the army. Weighed down like mules as well. I didn't have time for sharpening and probably would not have carried any sharpening equipment.

I got mine this afternoon in the mail. I'm not thrilled about the color but it won't stop me from using and enjoying this version. I'm an Endura guy and I have liked M4 since I first tried it. It's not really bad at anything and it takes a nice edge pretty easily. I won't go out of my way to think u...

From what I've read, your analysis aligns with informed sources I've encountered. However there appears to be a great desire among people (or at least Americans) to believe that nuclear war is "unsurvivable" and "the end." I can't help but think of Frank Kermode's book, "Se...

According to many experts the nuclear winter issue was exaggerated much like "climate change' is now for political purposes. That was at a time when the one side had 37 thousand and the other 35 thousand warheads. We are at the 3 thousand warhead total number of warheads here in the USA and Rus...

I agree that a nuclear attack is more survivable than most people think. It all depends on your location and luck as well as what actions you take. Most targets will be hit with air bursts which produce much less fallout. If it's an old soviet union style attack on IBM fields where each silo is targ...

Kristi, Happy birthday. Have a safe and healthy next year.

Hey, you got an extra "f" for your birthday! Cool! Have a good one, friend. Spyderco gave you a nice b-day present with the recent reveal, innit? Thanks ! Yep, I do like more Cruwear and always will. I have enough to not have time to use them all though so I will probably be picking and c...

My question is, is this normal? It looks pretty normal to me. Will this affect the lifespan and usability of my knife? In no way. How you use, maintain and sharpen is what will matter. Should I ask for a replacement or something like that? Only you can say. If you return it please don't use it or d...

Thanks everyone. It's nice to be remembered. I have been posting much less but I still lurk and check the Spyderco forum every day.

Not everybody can get a CCW permit to legally carry a gun. And I know the popular thing people say on forums is, "Then move to a state where you can get a CCW permit." But I'm not going to uproot my entire life to move somewhere I don't know anybody, or the area, or if I'd even be happy t...

My first knife was a broken blade Imperial Jackmaster single blade fishing knife with a scalier on the back of the blade. It had been mangled on a grinder, had no scales and then just thrown away at a construction site where I found it on the ground around age 7 or 8. It was treasure to me and sure ...

Late happy birthday to you Paul. I hope you have a good year.

I'd sure like one in a tool steel. 4V or Cruwear. The only stainless I'd currently buy is Magnacut. I have to say BD1N is a good stainless and super fun to get sharp but I already have a lot of knives like that.

What the **** is happening to me. I kept waiting for the "I live my life Boring" to start taking her top off. I guess my words of wisdom are that too much time on a computer can do things to your mind. Take some reality and turn the internet off . :)
