When you add all types of knives together, I think I have about 60 blades. My EDC is one of my Spyderco’s. This little fella followed me home today. I need to feed it the blood of my enemies. Or at least some cardboard.

He’s surfing the big waves now.
Sucks to be an El Salvadoran gang banger.
Nope. Shocked face still isn’t working.
Speaking of ultra processed food.
This part of the deal was a foregone conclusion.
Okay, that’s it for today. Peace out, Glibbies.
The authors of the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are calling this blatant favoritism “AI-AI bias” β and warn of an AI-dominated future where, if the models are in a position to make or recommend consequential decisions, they could inflict discrimination against humans as a social class.
Garbage in, garbage out. It’s garbage all the way down.
I am officially tired of hearing and reading about AI.
Would you like AI to read to you?

New record a kinnath’s house today. The weather station says the dew point is 85 degrees. It’s fucking miserable outside.
Ice Cream Social today at a neighbors house. 70 degrees, a light breeze and overcast. And no mosquitoes.
Two bowls of 1/2 chocolate/1/2 vanilla, homemade, with a variety of pastries and coffee.
About 25 friends.
There will be some newbies for Honey Harvest. Sep 21st, make your plans now. Let me know if you need directions. A couple of the old regulars have moved on to the big HH in the sky.
Trades a bit down. 85 moon walking degrees and winds of 9mph. Thin clouds to be a sunburn trap.
I have been wearing a light cashmere in the mornings even though in in the 60s, old man gets cold
That’s bananas.
I complain over 60, wilt over 70.
If AIs continue to be widely adopted and integrated into the economy, the researchers predict that companies and institutions will use AIs “as decision-assistants when dealing with large volumes of ‘pitches’ in any context,” they wrote in the study.
This would lead to widespread discrimination against humans who either choose not to use or can’t afford to pay to use LLM tools. AI-AI bias, then, would create a “gate tax,” they write, “that may exacerbate the so-called ‘digital divide’ between humans with the financial, social, and cultural capital for frontier LLM access and those without.”
AIs will never be as good as humans at pulling wild hypotheses out of their asses.
I’m assuming women and minorities will be hardest hit?

Spyderco will not sell their autos to the βpublicβ. π
Yup. That said I prefer the non auto version for pocket safety even if given a choice.
The whole Spyderco blade shape and hole allows for easy one handed operation. I donβt need the speed.
Really? Iβve got one and itβs a beast. I ordered it off the website. It could be a state thing.
I was just on the website. They’ve changed their policy. And the selection of automatics has shrunk.
I just assume any knife I might want to buy is illegal here. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Itβs so tiny!
Alright, alright, Iβll do it.

Rj, my Bastard sword says hold my mead
I had a Leatherman Wave on my belt for 20 years when I was working.
Sitting within arms reach of my desk here:
An Irish long sword (14th Century)
A Viking sword
A couple of daggers
A couple of Viking hand axes
A machete
A couple of Kukri knives
Across the room are numerous bows and several dozen arrows.
Florida GOP merch hits a little too close to Home (Depot, that is)
The partyβs line of βThe Deport Depotβ merch was themed on the new immigrant detention center Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled this week that he called βDeportation Depot.β
But the items bore a logo with the same recognizable orange box and stenciled font as the one belonging to The Home Depot.
Maybe come up with something a touch more original, guys?
Politicians coming up with something original? Never.
I miss the old “Home Despot” parody site.
I wonder why the internal affairs of El Salvadorian law & order are of such great interest to the MSM.
Probably because they fantasize about having the power to do that kind of shit to their enemies.
Heh that’s an interesting angle.
I was just assuming their usual impulse to further the pro-criminal narrative.

Iβve adjusted the heck out of it and it quasi self opens much better than it did initially, but Iβm not a big fan of Kershawβs torsion spring design. The other one I have is a traditional locking blade.
Iβve read good things about them. I think the source blades from Taiwan. Lots of tool making there.
Spyderco usually sources from Japan.
All my Spydercos are from Colorado. That’s where they make knives with the powdered steels from CPM. A lot of Spydercos are also made in Italy.
I have a Delica 4 in ZDP-189 and it takes and holds a razor edge, but itβs hard as fuck and takes forever to sharpen.
For general use I much prefer my Manbug in VG-10. It dulls marginally quicker and canβt hold as fine an edge, but itβs way easier to keep sharp.
Both are Japanese.
How are the CPM Alloys?
The CPM steels are amazing. They hold an edge forever. This one is 15V. I touch them up about every six months with a ceramic hone. Takes about ten strokes. I also have an automatic with an LC200N blade. It’s designed for the marine environment and doesn’t corrode.
My primary kitchen knives are Kikuichi with Swedish folded steel blades.
I have one of these:

I haven’t carried it for a while. Work is a wee bit picky about certain items being carried at the facility, and I have decided that I want to work for the foreseeable future.
Cool thing about Iowa’s Permit to Carry Weapons is that auto-blades are covered. While everyone focuses on concealed carry of firearms, knives are covered as well.
But that does not provide reciprocation with other states. So, I am legal to carry a concealed pistol in a lot of reciprocal states, I can’t carry the knife with me.
Those protec side autos are sweet. My previous edc was a Godson SMKW special.
Ohio has legal carry for auto knives. My daily is a Kershaw OTF. However, when I work in New York and we’re going to a bar, it has to stay in the hotel.
I dont need to get hemmed-up on a concealed carry charge in New York when Im on the job. Again.
“out of stock”
Just as I was reaching for my wallet.
Auto knives with blades not greater that 4 inches are legal. Blades longer than that can be carried with the Permit to Carry Weapons.
I have 2 of thesr for edc,

Yes, I like tattoos style; stabby stabby. I used to buy cheap Dewalt $20 and just throw them away when they got dull. Usefull for drywall, because the lower part is saw toothed. Now I carry a razor knife and use a vibrating multi-tool for cutting drywall.
Auto spell thinks tanto style is tattoos. Stupid AI.
satire idea – AI Discovers Sarcasm
12+ of school and you still can’t write an email without Grammarly? Pathetic.
I’ve carried a pocket knife ever since 4th grade. Back then it was a Swiss Army knife. Try that today and you’d get expelled.
Nowadays I carry a Gerber Paraframe. Cheap enough, sharp enough, good enough.*

I have a few large black things I keep in my bug out bags, run!
Love it. My dad gave me my first knife on my 10th birthday. A Swiss Army knife that is still in my tackle box. I’ve been EDC, even at school, for over 50 years.

I know the words but not that usage.
Cows are herbivores, so beef is plant-based meat.

There’s a Ron Swanson quote in there somewhere.
Eh, most meat is plant based.

My goal is to eat 2 of every creature. So far, I have eaten: cow, chicken, pig, turkey, duck, goose, goat, alligator, ostrich, lobster, camel, reindeer, yak, moose, elk, mealworm, shrimp, clam, oyster, mussel, crab, salmon, sardine, cod, tilapia, bison, groundhog, deer, eel, tuna, crawfish, squid, octopus, catfish…that’s all I can remember.

Same except -camel, -reindeer, -yak, -groundhog, but +donkey, +crickets, + chocolate covered ants, +squirrel, +frog, +rabbit, +rattlesnake.
I forgot frogs and snails. Wish I’d gotten a mosquito burger in Africa.

Human?
Lobster is gross
I also forgot anchovies, the king of fish.
Never eaten “long pig” before.
How many Tasmanian Devils do we have around here?
Im sure Ive mentioned before that I cant eat kangaroo.
Makes me jumpy.
An African mosquito burger?
Just how much AIDS do you want in 1 meal?
The snails in China were HUUUUUGE and tough. I could barely choke them down. The foot was really tough.
The snails at the fancy French restaurant were mostly a vessel for garlic and butter.
I’m relentlessly basic-bitch when it comes to meat.
Cow, chicken, pig, fish, turkey, duck.
Sea bugs are disgusting and most annything else is not anything that I have any interest in.

Wow, so many beauties, thanks Chief
The Brewers will not lose. This greatly displeases me.
Goodnight, all.
Evan, now that your more than half a Yusef yet still younger than 4×20, I think you should visit Bobbo in San Diego. Tons of fun and a whole lot of girls, you would have a blast. Good food, good weather and yoga pants galore, do attend
Along the way he can stop for HH, 3rd Sunday of Sep. This year it’s the 21st.
Evan I think you’d have a good time in both places but a lot more ladies your age in SD
Please try “Not Not Tacos” for me. I follow him (Sam the Cooking Guy) on youtube.

Used it for years now after a mini Griptilian. Did loctite the safety so it didn’t engage while carrying, no issues.
Morning all. I guess I am up now. Awake, asleep, awake asleep. I gave up and made coffee. What’s with all of the knife talk?
I carry this: https://www.bladehq.com/item–Boker-Plus-Urban-Trapper-Petite-42–77334
Have this as a belt knife…carry sometimes: https://www.swisstechoutdoors.com/sharptools/p/haltbar-fixed-blade
and of course…..
I have half of a dozen? of these which I always carry when in the woods. I keep a couple of them razor sharp.

As for AI, dont get caught flat footed. It is not plateauing and Neuralink is a real thing.
I welcome our new robot overlords.
Speaking of men’s everyday tools…fixed knives should be full tang. Having a handle with a short tang, especially those ones with some little Mickey Mouse pin holding the handle on is dumb. There is too much leverage between the handle and blade to make them separate pieces.
This made me think, since I had to repair one yesterday, why the hell cant anyone make one of these with a handle that stays on?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaving_brush
The brushes are stuck in the handle with about 1/8 inch circumference inside the handle with a tiny dab of crappy glue. I have thrown a hundred of the damned things away over the years, all with the same chincy design. I see some out there that should be good but they start at 100 bucks with a few going into the ~500 dollar range. What the hell is that?
Mornin’ Glibbies. The commute begins and I trust the morning’s empty aisles will greet me. The churched tend to be busy before a rush around noon.
