We’re already not running Biden.

Are you aware of this television program? It’s called “The News.”

I am positive prior art could be claimed for most if not all of those. Square Enix could cry afoul of the “mounting creatures” one as well as I’m sure many, many other earlier games on a plethora of platforms.

You could mount and ride Chocobos in Final Fantasy 2, i.e. the real “2,” the JDM only one on Famicom, which was released in 1988. The aforementioned patent was only filed on Nintendo’s part in 2024.

They can, to use a technical legal term, get fucked.

And exactly what is “lewd, obscene, or profane” is not actually defined in the law.

Surely that’s never been abused in the past. No, sir.

It is, provided you specifically do not look at the driving skills of the people who live there…

Denver is a liberal island in the generally quite conservative American west.

Which is pretty much what we all said we wanted. They finally ditched the base station trackers, at least. But it still has Fresnel lenses.

I will say this, too: One. Thousand. Dollars. $999.

Ceramic knives excel at cutting tasks but do not handle prying, twisting, or impact very well. They are also 100% corrosion resistant, especially those that don’t have any steel parts in their construction (i.e. not this one, but most of the fixed bladed ones). Cutting cardboard and breaking up boxes, rope and cordage, gutting fish, dressing and skinning, and food prep all leap to mind.

If you want to try it out without a large investment, you can get ceramic box cutter blades cheaply online. These are way thinner than the blade on this knife so arguably even more fragile, but they have the same kind of sharpness and edge retention. That should tell you pretty quickly if your workflow would benefit from an edge that functionally never needs sharpening and can withstand the types of duty cycle you’ll put it through vis-a-vis torsion and prying.

Tell me about it. Apparently I have a whole shoebox of the fucking things. I have no idea how or why.

I’ve had this for years. I have no idea what led me to it. I actually used to have an Anti Grav as well but that one got stolen like five years ago and I’m still kind of pissed about it.

The answer to the latter question is 126, not including: Multi tools, swords, anything I’ve 3D printed, knives I can’t find right now, and throwing knives (which just seem to breed like rabbits and accumulate in droves). And box cutters.

“I don’t share your use case, therefore your preference is invalid and only mine is correct.”

Yeah, I know that one very well.

It never has been, and if it ever were we wouldn’t have needed all those statues of the chick with the scales and the blindfold as propaganda.
