A bidet.

I've saved a ton on toilet paper.

It's just picture frame type wire which is super cheap and super strong. I have a lot of it at home, and I've had to replace it a few times now. If I didn't already have a lot of it though, I wouldn't go out of my way to carry it because strong paracord or thin rope could be just as effective.

I use mine for bending sheet metal and holding objects while I saw them/work with them. I like to build things in my spare time, so I use them frequently for gripping, crunching, crimping, or wrenching sometimes.

It's a new addition, so it's hard to say. My previous SAK was a Champ, and I used the metal file and scissors the most, but I always wanted a bit driver for the electronic maintenance that I do.

Well I'm a little biased because I'm the creator of it and it's still in development, but overall I like it. I am going to raise the handle length from 75mm to 100mm because I feel like I need that extra boost in leverage for any substantial prying task that requires a lot of force.

Thanks! Yes, it is a Golden Motor Black Magic kit.

I just like carrying separate dedicated tools. Lets say you need to hold something down with the pliers and cut it with the SAK scissors at the same time, you wouldn't be able to do that with integrated tools. So, the advantage is when needing to use two or more tools at once.

Some are. I believe millennials are 1981-1996, so the youngest of the millennials are 27.

Good idea. I sent them a message asking to reopen the sub temporarily but lock everything but a stickied post that notifies users about the Lemmy migration, and/or put it in the sidebar. Let's hope they see it.

Totally agree. I need to update my EDC and make a post soon.

 
 

I use Obsidian (a personal knowledge management system) to log my daily notes, and I also am starting to get into the habit of tracking my moods as well. I programmed it to automatically paste a link to the corresponding mood using AutoHotkey because the firmware of the macro pad doesn't allow full strings to be returned. The top left key is to add a timestamp. I initially was using blank keycaps, but I thought that using a label maker would be a little better. Not the most ideal, but it works.

This is an example of how I use it

 

Here's my 3D printed mini network rack.

It uses a TP-LINK TL-SG108 switch, a DIY patch panel, and a Raspberry Pi running PiHole. Here's the stl files if you would like to 3D print one yourself.

 
 

List:

  • 3D printed tray
  • EDCPocketTools CatClaw prybar
  • Benchmade 940
  • Fenix E18RV2
  • Anker Powercore Redux 10,000mAh battery in a leather pouch that I made.
  • Anker USB-C to USB-C cable with USB-C to USB-A adapter.
 

Anyone know the origin? I'm interested to know how old it is.

 
 

Simple and works. My only vac hose had two different ends, and I needed them to be the same large diameter type, so I created this adapter.
