Re: Net Neutrality and FCC thing: How will it effect us individuals?
Ken, my internet experience started in 1998, which would have been the later days of dial-up, when 56K modems were becoming the norm. You're right, most users back then got on, did what they had to do, and got off. But gamers, like my GF's son, would have played 24/7 if ISP's didn't make them come ...

Re: Net Neutrality and FCC thing: How will it effect us individuals?
There are utilities like Speed Test that will give you real time throughput (if that’s what you mean?) You can compare that to your contract rate and ongoing results.

Re: Net Neutrality and FCC thing: How will it effect us individuals?
Agreed, AOL convinced a lot of people to try the “internet” Still, I don’t think many people stayed connected like they do today. Looking at dialup through the lens of broadband paints a false picture, IMO.Evil D wrote:
At least until AOL became a thing. It really got out of hand from that point on.

Re: Net Neutrality and FCC thing: How will it effect us individuals?
back when it was dial up only, some dial up internet companies would knock people off their connection if they were on the net for many hours or days at a time, to free up bandwidth for higher paying internet users. Is that true? Have any of you ever heard of that? That’s not how life was back in t...

Re: Peppermint Essential Oil for Headaches
There have been actual scientific studies on some of the essential oils that have shown promise for their use as medicine for various things. Amen, Doc. One thing I tried really shocked me. Had really bad nail fungus. My doc put me on some kind of ointment. Used it for months (expensive too) but no...

Re: All you can eat/Buffet Restaurants: Your opinions and views?
I think, generally, the quality of food is lower at “all you can eat” but mostly I agree it’s a gimmick. Most restaurants today have HUGE portions. Olive Garden has all you can eat pasta. I kinda roll outa that place on their regular portion. Why would I want “more”? A lot of members of our church s...

Re: Controversial Spyderco Military Issue: All feedback welcomed!
Preferences are fine and not a point of dissension. For me, thinner is better. I like a “slicy” knife. I would LOVE to see Spyderco offer something in the thickness of my Opinel 8s. The slicing of those knives is beyond compare. Yeah, you can’t pry or chop with them, but that’s what pry bars and axe...

Re: Gentlemens Folder Suggestion....Centofante Memory feedback?
I bought it only due to peer pressure from Ken. Haha, you’re welcome, brother. Like Paul, it checks a lot of my “don’t like” boxes, but dang if it isn’t one of the best all round knives I own. As another suggestion, if you need to keep looking ;) Lil’Nilakka. It’s my “church” knife. Small. Pretty l...

To answer your question, my spydie would be the one in my pocket, K390 Urban but if I had time (and thought I’d need more than a Hilton Garden Inn stay) I’d grab a couple Busse’s too. Aqua Salt would be great if I owned one. Sadly, not the case.

Re: The 30 Day "Inferior" Steel Challenge
I use some form of simple steel pretty much everyday. As do I, in the kitchen. Love my “simple” kitchen knives! I carry H1 more than anything else -- both plain and serrated. Everything else (except LC300N) is an "inferior steel" in my eyes due to what happens around salt water. My next c...
