Been wanting a prybar to go with my copper EDC stuff for a while but I was worried copper wouldn't be strong enough. Found this old wrench on ebay for $10 and modified it for my needs. Left one of the wrench jaws on there so there's two ways to use it as a prybar.

Probably a Pickett N600-ES. I feel like it's the most bang for buck size-wise. I really like the Concise / Sama & Etani slide rules with the reference tables too. I have several of those stashed around in case I need to reference a formula or periodic table
I meant that if you have a dedicated GPU, I think you can update your bios either way. My understanding was that the warning was because you wouldn't be able to get graphics output with an old bios version that didn't support the igpu
Her name is Stan?
