I don’t think most real women would bring up the fact that they're a woman - especially on a car forum. Not that they’d hide it, but just wouldn’t bring it up, the same way most men don’t bring up that they’re men. When someone makes a point of mentioning it, it immediately raises suspicion, and if they get defensive about it, that’s another red flag. Throw in a gendered username or an avatar on top of that and you’ve got all the hallmarks of a guy pretending to be a woman.

I know some women are genuinely into cars - I even know one personally - but that doesn’t mean they can’t act like men. And most men have been fooled enough times online that we’ve just gotten pretty cynical about it.

I've had the same gerbil for almost 30 years. I doubt I'd notice if someone swapped it into identical colored one in the middle of the night.

Judging by the comments here I'm getting the impression that people would like to rather provide a selfie or ID.

Yeah both edges are single bevel. Didn't actually even realise that while in the store. My only other single bevel knife is Opinel and that thing cuts crazy good.

I'm not sure about the angle but looks about the same.

I have around 4 in total. All in different toolboxes actually.

The article doesn't mention a single school actually buying this system.

I'll make sure to try crying tomorrow in the hopes that my tools magically appear on the jobsite.

No other than it's geographically closer to my actual location so I thought the speed would be faster.

I agree with the sentiment but despite the vast amount of pushback and downvotes I get for voicing certain views it's extremely rare for me to have my comments removed let alone be banned. Some individual communities might be worse than others and .ml communities you should avoid like the plague anyway but broadly speaking I'd still claim that it's pretty difficult to get mods to take action against you as long as you're being polite.

And as a self-employed I only know how much I earned at the end of the year which could be wildly different than the year before.

EU is about to do the exact same thing. Norway is the place to be. That's where I went - at least according to my ip address.

I'm not sure I know what I want for life but I have a number of things I don't want so I'm trying my best to steer clear of those.
