Already up-to-date on his Children of Time series. Fantastic. Tho I should check out his other works too

I traded my standard Milwaukee box cutter for a new one they put out that has a fold out screwdriver and bottle opener. It’s very useful. Definitely don’t regret buying it

Doesn’t appear to have a screwdriver on it

Ooh I’ve heard that title, but not read it. Throwing that on my list.

I’ll read it after I finish Name of the Wind by Rothfuss. Enjoying the shit out of this one

Looks like Jaeger

I’ve read the book and have a copy on my shelf. It’s wildly different from the movie.

Might I recommend Armor by John Steakley if you enjoyed Starship Troopers? Fantastic novel with a similar premise (powered armor, bugs, war on a foreign planet) but focuses much more on the PTSD and psychological aspect of warfare where Starship Troopers focuses more on doing your duty.

My pocket EDC is a Milwaukee box cutter with a fold out screwdriver (Phillips and flat head reversible bit) and it serves me well. Used to just carry a box cutter but so many times I’d need a screwdriver and not have one physically on me

It’s actually all work stuff.

I carry a Milwaukee hard bottom tool backpack. This is just going off memory.

Not even all my tools. Just what I keep on me at all times. The rest stays in my truck.

I’ve got a separate tool bag with my less used hand tools, small drills, tape measure, bits, security screwdrivers, etc. plus Packouts with the bigger tools I use even less frequently like band saw, sawzall, hammer drill, plus hardware I might need like screws or connectors. A ladder, 100’ fishtape, push rods, flex bit, various crap I “might” need… a dolly, etc.

Ironically I’m not even in the field much anymore, but every time I ditch stuff I end up regretting not having it on me cause I’ll go check on a shit or have to go fix something and I just prefer to be over prepared than under prepared. Hell I’ve even got a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit (has been useful), tow cables, straps, a travel pillow, travel blanket, hand warmers, a small with waters… Shit my middle console is a medicine cabinet with aspirin, bandaids, floss, a travel toothbrush, various charging cables. Probably a bunch in forgetting. Coozies in my glove compartment cause bottles rattle in my cup holders… lol

I mean Windows ME was shit, but XP and 7 were great. Everything after 7 tho has been shit.

I like how everyone glosses over Windows ME existing

Starship Troopers amazing movie, definitely one of my top favorites

Also generational wealth. That will save you from working too

Google: Don’t be evil

Man 8.1 Metro was the worst UI pick Windows has had

I believe the other two are Umamusume

You might be on to something.

Pulling cable, no joke, was a great forearm workout.

I keep saying I need to get back into the gym… I should really get back into the gym.

Got the extension. Love that Waterfox comes with it now by default else I wouldn’t have known about it.

I’ll close and reopen a video multiple times until it goes straight to the video before I watch an ad.

ProTube is solid, and the SponsorBlock extension is also nice.
