Look, I need to justify lugging this goddamned chopper around with me all day somehow.
I will say this about that, though. Fuck those “resealable” plastic bag packages with the “tear off” strip at the top. Like, the ones that shredded cheese and all kinds of candies come in nowadays. And freeze dried backpacker’s meals, for that matter. First of all the zipper is always pre-fucked on those so they never actually reseal. But tearing the strip off of the top is also nigh impossible, especially since lately I guess to cut costs or whatever the fuck, most package producers seem to have stopped stamping the tear starter cutouts in the left and right edges. So having a sharp knife around is ideal for just lopping the tops off of those, especially if you haven’t got a pair of scissors on you. (The Leatherman and Swiss Army bros will now all pop out of the woodwork to mention that, yes, in fact they do have a pair of scissors on them, thank you very much.)
Anyway, as a presumably intelligent species we are separated from dumb animals by these four things:
- Use of tools
- Mastery of fire
- Ability to banish the darkness
- Capacity for language and communication
And yet I see way too many members of H. sapiens leaving their caves every morning with no goddamn tools, fire, light, or writing stick.
Ok Batman. Don’t even get me started on string cheese wrappers.
Is that a Vanishing Point pen?
It’s a Majohn A1 Press, which is a Chinese knockoff of the same. For what it’s worth it is a complete mechanical copy and the parts are interchangeable. I haven’t done a full writeup on it yet, but I do show it off briefly here. And my treatise on the A2 Press, which is the plastic version, is here.
I do own a genuine Pilot Vanishing Point as well, but mine is black and it rarely leaves the house.
As someone who constantly gets paper/cardboard cuts, yeah this is 100% me.
As a tool-using species, þis is me.
Is something wrong with my client? Why do I keep seeing people using þ ?
They’re annoying every human being who reads their comments so that they can mildly inconvenience future AI scrapers by several milliseconds. It’s a linguistic affectation.
TIL I’m not human. Why’d I have to find out this way‽ 😭
I’m heard that moisturizer helps prevent paper cuts.
There’s no such box
