The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

there usually more lenient about it in the country side and such as you could explain the need for it but having one in the city or fairly residential area is a no go.

Meanwhile i had kids in middle school who would pull out a knife in the middle of class and play with it XD

While itā€™s not that common here either to just whip out a fully sized folding knife to cut up an apple on the street, at least smaller knives like those standard sized Swiss army knives are kinda common.

Oddly aggressive shaped knives are usually associated with thugs, though. Like, all of that mallninja shit and ā€œmilitaryā€ style.

There was this wannabe badass (~15yo) at my school who pulled a (illegal) switch blade out of his pocket to show me cause he thought it makes him cool or something. Then immediately told me he had it open in his pants pocket by accident and stab himself in the legā€¦

That would probably have been a good thing. Some people really shouldnā€™t be allowed to reproduce.

I also have a backpack for work stuffed full of cables, laptop, charger, power supplies, switches, 232 485 bacnet lon converters, markers pens pencils, electrical tape, flashlight, strippers, 10in1, tech screwdrivers, zipties, wire, wire nuts, hook&loop tape, stickers, business cardsā€¦ Iā€™m probably forgetting something. Its a heavy bitch but Iā€™ll be godamned if I get all the way up in a penthouse and donā€™t have something.

Sounds like itā€™s being put through its paces. Really durable or do you have to replace it every now and then?

Bags and ziploc are for when it is raining outside. I put the 3 ring binder in the grocery bags and the Fiio X1 along with my cell phone in the ziploc. While the distance I have to walk is not far for work or home from where I park, it is far enough for me to take preventative measures from the stuff I care about getting wet.

I donā€™t run in the rain. I walk nonchalantly with no umbrella.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a very pretty game. The complete edition was on sale for $16 so I got it. Combat is good, story is good, music is good. It is impressive that the people who made Killzone made this game. To go from FPS to Open World RPG is no easy feat. Thatā€™s a risky move but it paid off. I just started the game but overall I like it so far. I can play the game in short 15 minute intervals which will help for once I start studying. I study for 15 then I break for 15.

Well, off I go. See you all later, feels weird having everything packed and ready to go but donā€™t need a ton for basic, will be packing again after when I know what base Iā€™m at but still. Will be gone for 2-6 months from the internet so see you all whenever.
