I'm a U.S. knife collector and it just blows my mind that 99% of my collection would be illegal in a lot of other countries/states. I always carry a knife on me no matter the setting. (Except high security areas. Schools, Government buildings, dispensaries, and others.) Former Blue Collar worker so they just became part of my life. I honestly see them as tools and I don't look at any of them as weapons. Even the ones that are designed for that task.

Hell, the knife I typically daily carry would probably get me arrested on whatever equates to a felony in the UK. I've opened so many boxes with this fucker though.

About Victorinox though, I mean they've always kinda done their thing so more power to them. Hope they find a new market, but I don't think they will find some ground breaking thing that will change their situation since the multi-tool market is so flooded.

Seriously, search for "cyclist multi-tool" and see how much shit there is out there before they've even entered that market.

Under UK law, a person can only carry a knife in public if it has a folding blade that is less than three inches long.

This is the thing that always gets me. From what I remember of this law, you have to carry an under 3" knife that is NON-LOCKING. Making it that much more dangerous to even use for it's intended purpose.

Any "arcade" racer will do well on it. I've already played Forza 4/5, Dirt 4/Rally, and Grid Autosport on mine. It lends itself well to those type of games.

Even the lighter sims work decent enough. (Project Cars, etc.) If they work with the major controllers, they tend to work on the deck just fine.

And going off the with supersquirrel, there are a lot of other types of driving games that work well. (Spintires, American/Euro Truck Simulator, City Car Driving, and Pure Rock Crawling.)

I know it's just an STL of a scale model, but actually printing a real car wouldn't be cheap in the slightest.

The Prusa brand printers are printed by their own printer models and sold that way.

Not sure on the accuracy on this image, but I can confirm that they grow in Georgia and not in Michigan that I've seen.

There's very few maps of their range that I can find that shows the whole of North America. (Were harder to read though or had no legend.)

That would have been too much effort.

Fallout 76 is in the top 5 selling games on Steam. Sounds like they hand an inkling of what they were doing. Minimum effort, maximum profit.

Second try still got denied.

I'm aware, I may have just done it a bit early on in this fiasco.

Edit: "We will not be granting a refund at this time. The date of the purchase exceeds 2 weeks (our refund policy maximum)."

They pinged me for owning it more than two weeks, so that's fun.

[–] mihnt@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 year ago (13 children)

They denied my refund. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What the other person said. This is a prototype and looks to be printed with thicker layers than normal (.2mm is the usual.) to save time.
