@Eheran There's a metal bar right behind the back that notches in, so the pressure goes there. The tape is just stopping it from sliding downwards. Thanks for pointing that out though.

(I sat in it for an hour)

@tkk13909 @FlashZordon CalyxOS and other ROM user here, degoogled phones are awesome

@cashews_best_nut @fujiwood If you do want a lighter like a zippo, make sure to get a butane insert, not the original zippo insert! The butane ones are easier to use and don't leak fuel.

Note that many of those new zippo inserts are made in China. Countycomm sells great "peanut lighters" which are small, circular (pill container style) and completely waterproof. They don't leak fuel either and are made in the USA.
Zippos are just such a great form factor for pocket carry

@edc btw, I realize this post might have a little advertising smell. but yeah obviously to be clear that's not the case. I just know it's a knife a lot of people appreciate, and would also be annoyed if people bought a Japanese knife made in China by companies that don't even have the right to use the name

@Chev I point out in my posts that a phone, pocket computer, camera, dopamine rectangle, surveillance device, whatever you want to call it, is (a less important) part of my EDC, and I use it to take the photo.

I do actually carry a thumb drive!
Sure, the cloud works, but to me it's way less clunky to use a thumb drive than upload files over email and download stuff, creating digital clutter. It's also USB-C+A so I can transfer large files from my pocket computer to backpack computer if needed.

@xmunk @Sprite A dark pattern I DESPISE is the public WiFi at a local grocery store - after agreeing to the network's TOS you have to sign up for their newsletter to continue... unless you scroll down and click an un-highlighted button that says "no thanks, take me to wifi"

@xmunk @Sprite If your design rules emphasize contrast, it would be poorer design to highlight both buttons and it's not in the colour palette to have a 'mild' highlighting like Windows used to have (I think some KDE desktop themes do this too) that suggests which button is the accept button, but doesn't give the other ones zero highlighting.

@C4d @scytale It's nice when people actually know how to take care of a knife. It's WAY MORE IMPORTANT to know how to cook, shop, and plan meals, but there are two basic things you should know:

- Don't drag the blade along the fucking cutting board! Stop it. Use the back (spine) instead when pushing food off
- Swipe it along the honing rod at a 15-30 degree angle every now and then when you notice it feeling sluggish or dull - look it up if you're not sure
