I have a 3rd-party bit insert for my Leatherman that can check voltage on batteries, so I’m set for this problem (volty by pcpoodle)

Something on-battery would be cool, but with that Duracell PowerCheck implementation never seemed right to me, it seemed to show the battery having more and more power the harder and harder I pushed on the spots. 🤷

That is the silver lining to having this shitty beard – when somebody inevitably gives you crap about it, you can look confused while feeling your smooth upper lip, eyes widening, then feel the beard and yell ‘what the fuck!?’ with an alarmed look on your face and run away

Yeah, and you build skills and reusable code base that’ll be useful for automating/ simplifying future tasks 😎

Some years of this, you get to the point where you can solve damn near everything quickly and people think you’re some magical shit-wizard

I like the (correct) implication that you’d only see that sticker on a truck 👌

Ironically somebody probably had that idea while paging binders full of pre-Trump popular Republicans

You aren’t going to eat the glue sticks right?

You are going to eat all the rice chex, poop in box after so it’s the right weight, use glue sticks to seal back up, and return back to the store as buying the wrong variant. Right??

😟

Yabba dabba don’t, please 😂

It’s a bad idea not to when it’d be a guaranteed loss

Flipside 4 wallet, put a clip on the lanyard to clip to my shorts so doesn’t slip out of my pocket. I had a custom thin RFID made that I slipped between the outside of the lid’s rfid-blocking plate and the plastic lid itself to get into my apt building’s various doors. Wallet has all my cards and key, and cash for the rare times I have it.

I always carry a victorinox classic sd sak with a big orange Paracord lanyard on it so I don’t lose track of it. It’s black and limited edition with a cool skeleton carrying a Halloween bucket graphic.

I carry a Spyderco manbug as well, good slicer, small unscary size. Has super blue steel, so cool patina near the edge. I have a clip on that as well so doesn’t fall out of my shorts pocket.

I have a modified Leatherman style ps as well, removed the scissors (scissors better on the sak anyways) and added a little titanium prybar that has a sharp enough edge for opening packages. That has a carabineer-style clip that clips on edge of my pocket.

I wear an apple watch ultra, good for apple pay, timers/alarms and texts. Siri to check stuff like sports scores in a pinch. Negates me needing actual phone, I tend to leave iPhone 13 mini in a cheap Etsy “Arnie” case (cameras are barrels of gun from that movie Commando) at home, unless I feel like I’ll need the entertainment of f’ing with my phone wherever I’m going

I wear wedding ring out always, bracelet my wife made me often, next to the apple watch. Often have a mechanical wrist watch on other wrist, varies which (have a collection.) I often wear a couple/few Happy Beads bracelets with the mechanical watch to put the finishing touches.

Vast majority of the time I’m just wearing sandals, shorts & T-shirt (I work from home).

The above is my unique and probably awful/questionable taste, more of an admission than edc and/or fashion advice 😂😢

I can’t speak to polls, just myself, but I can’t vote for Biden – he seems borderline too old for the job now, it’d be painful to see an accelerated decline over the next four years.

Other people might be too old for that job at an earlier age, some at a later age; it’s a personal thing on how age effects a person and their abilities to do certain things. For him it’s getting past time.

And Trump is horrible for the reasons you list and more. Plus, if he gets in office removing him after is a worry.

I’ve always voted Democrat. I was for Bernie in 2016 and also wrote him in as a protest in 2020 (I was mad they made everyone bow-out at once and defer to Biden, and I recall thinking he was too old even then). Bernie is too old now even for throwing away my vote on another protest (he’s actually older than Biden, but again age vs. capabilities is a personal thing and even though he was looking good back in 2020, it feels wrong to vote for a guy in his 80s for a term no matter how good they seem.) I know that doesn’t matter because a write-in never wins, but I will always vote, and always vote for somebody I’d want for the job. I just can’t bring myself to vote ‘against’ somebody or feel I need to use my vote on one of the main people who actually have a chance to win. It’s just how I’m wired, and I don’t know how rare my broken thinking is, but I suspect it’s more common than most would guess.

So this time around, I don’t know. I hope someone else is there to vote for on top of Dem ticket instead of Biden, that’d probably be my pick no matter who it is. I might end up writing in Whitmer as a protest if not.

I’m tired of these puns

works as well with just the last two panels

I use Shield Pro 2019 since Nov 2019, have been keeping up on software updates – haven’t ever noticed ads. I use Pi-hole though, maybe that has been ‘shielding’ me (ha!) all this time and I didn’t realize it?

(To clarify I mean no ads in the Shield UI itself, I’d still see ads in individual streaming apps like Hulu)

‘stream of water’ is wrong characterization, it’s about a power-washing jet – blast off those poo particles

Yeah, seems universal, cats have open door policies 💯

“you can stick your well-laid plan up your well-laid ass”

Been almost 30 years, what a dumb quote to come to mind so often. I never say it, haven’t seen Die Hard 3 since the '90s, no idea why it’s stuck so hard
