One time. At band camp...

In high school a friend of a very attractive popular girl asked me if I liked popular girl. I thought she was playing some kind of prank on me so I said no. It was not a prank. She really did like me. To this day I wish I would have said yes.

Thumb-key looks interesting. How steep do you think the learning curve is?

I don't carry a headlamp but I keep them around and handy. Very useful for dark corners of the garage and basement. Mandatory for camping.

Hands free task lighting is very useful.

Second this.

I am carrying two now. One flipper with pocket clip that is so easy to use. I use it many times a day to cut duct tape, packaging, rope, string, etc.

And a victorinox...super tinkerer, I think. Recently bought a pocket clip for that too.

I also carry a lighter so it is easy to burn rope/string ends or start fires. Dont use it a whole lot but it is useful.

The ones I buy come in bags with a zip seal so I find this puzzling.

You could also lose the plastic and put them in a glass, metal or silicone storage. I am doing this more now that plastic appears to be killing us.

This article makes Tiff look a lot like a corporate shill in government clothes. Blame labor until the corporate theft is over and then start to recognize it for what it is.

A phone I can use almost anywhere.

Access to most of mankind's knowledge at my fingertips.

Weather and radar in seconds.

DO NOT take the full bag out of the box. You will regret it immediatly.

I'm sure OP means "before the recent spike in inflation". And I'm surprised you are having a hard time assuming that.

The near stranglehold YT has had on online video could not last forever. I think they'll be the 800 pound gorilla for years to come, but I hope many smaller guys pick up speed as YT continues to throw its weight around. And I believe YT will continue to shit on users and eventually pay a high price for that.

How long until YT is totally paywalled?
