I current have exactly 1000 respect!

I think now would be a good time to point out that I have an irrational fear of overly round numbers, and you should all give me respect to get me as far away from this terrifying number as possible.

Wait, if you gain too much respect you'll reach the other round number 1024.

It's fine as long as I don't think about binary.

I want to buy a pocket knife but I don't know where to start as far as finding something that's decent quality at a decent price, etc.  Is anybody here a knife enthusiast?

I am not a knife enthusiast, except that the only pocketknives worth having are Victorinox Swiss Army knives.

Ok. My brother is a knife enthusiast; I have some knowledge from him.
What sort of knife are you looking for?

The Opinel is imo a nice looking, affordable, and generally solid knife. I own one, and I'm very happy with it.

I do think Victorinox is a good company; you probably can't go wrong with them if you want more of the swiss army deal.

The KA-Bar Dozier is another knife I own that is well constructed and affordable. It comes in other colors than orange.

Ones that are a bit more expensive include Spiderco knives. You'd probably do well with any Spiderco knife. The Tenacious is a good one. My brother owns some and is happy with them.

I'm kinda tired, so I think those are a good start. Also, I'm pretty addicted to r/edc which would probably help you with this, even just browsing it. It's the everyday carry subreddit where people post and discuss the items they carry on their person: like knives, flashlights, pens, guns, watches etc. It's probably one of the more nerdy things I do.  ;)

Can't go wrong with an Opinel.

Just general utility, I guess?  I'm not sure if there's something specific I should be looking for, so advice there would be helpful too.  I hadn't really thought of going for swiss army, but there are probably some other tools that would be nice to have on hand.  Always having a pen would be nice... no other tools really come to mind right now, but maybe I should check out what the options are.

So I've read the books, and I want to follow the show, but I don't really have the time to watch everything. I've seen the first two seasons, any recommendations on where to pick it up?

It's interesting how our experiences can shape perception.

The wife of one of my friends posted a picture of herself. I couldn't help but think of how cocky and smarmy she looked. Then I was thinking that I knew her as cocky and smarmy, so of course her picture looks that way. If I didn't know who she was, how would I view that picture? Would it be neutrally received, or would I still see it?

The obvious clickbait here is that it's EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE but it's probably just some pulsar or some new star/black hole shooting particles whilst spinning that so happen to be in our direction?

My mum was just watching some crime program (Second Chance I think it was called?) when an in-universe TV report came on saying some people had been murdered and the letters F, D and S had been carved into the victims head.

What the heck have you guys been up to? Murder is NOT the advertising method theory endorses!

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Speaking of which, I saw a graffiti that just read "FDS" in Joensuu. I swear it wasn't me who drew it.

I was just at this player's party thing, which was like a dance club.  And now I want to kill myself.  So if you don't hear from me for a while, that's probably what happened.

Player as in a male who is adept at manipulating others, or as in a Dominion player?

It was a tournament of the sporting type.  The player's party is for those playing in the tournament.

Right after handing in today's exam, I suddenly realized the reason why my professor used "#" in all his slideshows to mean "different".

It's supposed to be a double-strikethrough equal sign.

Two slashes? This is strange notation. I always used just one.
