Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I don't go out of my way to watch my grammar and I will on occasion make up my own words. I never thought about the possibility of it bothering others. I don't intend on starting to worry now either. Not until someone is annoyed enough to start shooting in my direction. :) If grammar on a forum bot...

Re: Survive knives

Survive is a train wreck on Instagram. Plenty of claims made due to the steel and not his over pre-order. (And yes his pre-order price and timeline was way off the mark of being profitable or achievable without hiring staff) He doubled down blaming the steel which didn’t go down well. He was even o...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I never claimed to be a English Literature Scholar so I dunno. But then I don't point out others mistakes in grammar because it is pathetic and petty to do so. :eye-roll Some people need to get a life and look for other ways to inflate their ego. :eye-roll People are people and they do make mistakes...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

I was an "athlete" for the first half of my life. In the first 35 to 40 years of life I competed in a number of sports(bicycle racing, ice hockey, martial arts, raced sailboats, golf, tennis, ...), ran/jogged, weight lifted, and worked in construction for 10+ years. I cannot say my diet w...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

I've had a couple doctors tell me we are genetically programmed to have a certain lifetime. One guy stated a certain number of heartbeats. He explained it as why animals with higher heartbeats and metabolism have shorter lives and he said it's the same with us. There are certainly other factors suc...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

Some are missing that actual life expectancy often changes due to various things like disease, plagues, wars, etc. Even in modern times, (current) the range can have a 14 year difference in just social class due to various things like nutrition, access to proper medical care etc. The over all age re...

One thing I have NEVER liked about Cold Steel folders is their pocket clips.

I did like the old Japanese-made Voyagers. I don’t own any of the Taiwan-made Voyagers.

Yeah they are brutal pants shredding objects. :rofl

I don't like the new ones either.

Re: Credit Card Fraud!

I have read that the encryption of mobile phones makes payment with cards in your digital wallet much less susceptible. Especially the IPHONES. ;) I looked at The Hacker News link that I provided above and there were at least 6 cell phone hacking exploits, some Apple ios, some Android, in 18 days.....
