I’m a big fan of the Spyderco Dragonfly and there are a ton of options to pick from. It’s just a really solid and well executed small knife. You might also take a look at the Spyderco Jester. Unique blade design and just under 2” cutting edge with a 3 finger grip. Theknifejoker.com has them in 20cv for $59 right now.

Reading glasses, unfortunately

I don’t believe that arm is supposed to be bent. That might change the travel distance and engagement of the cylinder.

I will certainly try to remember this the next time tomatoes are about. You never know right?

I think the taste of raw tomatoes just bothers me. Keep them away from my sandwich, and I never tried them with sugar because I didn’t know that was a thing that existed until right now. Sauces lose points the chunkier they get.
Things like ketchup, marinara, not-chunky salsa and so on don’t taste like raw tomatoes so maybe that’s all it is. Interestingly, I do like sun-dried tomatoes in a salad or maybe on a pizza.

I like the BL part. They were on the table about once a week when I was a kid and couldn’t stand them. My grandmother made green tomato pie on occasion though and I didn’t hate it.

For me it’s definitely the flavor and I think the scent even hits me wrong.

Tomatoes. I like all kinds of things made from tomatoes but cannot stand them in their original form. I try them from time to time, big ones, little ones, all kinds, just to see if my tastes have changed, but so far nope. It’s especially odd because it don’t feel this way about any other kind of fruit or vegetables.

I haven’t been able to convince myself that I like front flippers, but I’m going to keep trying. I do have a PF though and it’s a great knife!

I’m not sure if I like the Kershaw more. Clearly I have to get one so I can find out.

Snatch is such a great movie. For me it’s too close to call between Snatch and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It took me a long time to realize that John Turturro was even in the movie because his acting is so out of character and well performed.

As some have mentioned, OEM car parts, particularly anything electrical. It’s just not worth the money saved on cheaper aftermarket parts that may not work even though they are new. It often leads to unnecessary troubleshooting and sometimes even more parts, only to land right back where you started.
