/edc/ - Every Day Cary

Last thread reached the reply limit! Thanks for the many (amusing) replies! What do you carry with you every day? What kind of tech? I personally carry the following: - Sharp Aquos Keitai (Android, rooted) - Nintendo 3DS for that Streetpass^tm cred - Trusty Casio gimmicky watch - AfterShokz for maximum hearing and LARPing - Wallet with tech soykaf - Glockussy What do you have with you? >>66797 I ran the n900 for a solid year until i got me an android flip phone. There are still software maintained for n900 over at maemo forums. You can also run full scale debian applications but it's really really slow. This think has a really bad processor. I usually did my stuf using the stock terminal, which was locked down on maemo. You have to soykaf to get a root command yourself and whatnot. You can instead also use a custom os with i3wm, which is better and less locked down the stock linux it comes with. check out this: https://elinux.org/N900 and https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 have fun!

Reading the previous thread, I noticed lots of people carrying gun or knives for personal safety, leading me to wonder it would be interesting to give an approximate location to get the purpose of EDC content : US/Asia/..., urban/rural/mountains/.... Am interested in backpacks choices too. Location : europe, urban Backpack : Deuter Giga Bike : laptop pocket, builtin rain-cover, foldable external net, belt ; very comfortable https://www.deuter.com/int-en/shop/backpacks/p226977-lifestyle-daypack-giga-bike Tech : smartphone + laptop and chargers, 1 backup battery, 1 to 2 jack converter ; 1 encrypted backup of my data on SSD drive ; usb drives Cloth/Hygiene : because night shift work backup clean underwear, all-in-1 shower gel, deo, toothbrush ; few toilet paper sheets in a zip lock (definitely won't save my life, but probably my ass and dignity), 1 surgical+FFP2 mask 1st aid : generic and personal drugs, plasters, little scissors, sterile surgical and nitrile gloves, antiseptic and saline vials misc : wallet (cards/money), swiss army knife, bic lighter, pocket screwdriver, 4mm rope + carabinier, small folded trash bag, small umbrella, 2 folded spare tote bag, pen and notebook

EDC implies I leave the house at all lol. But when I do, it is knife, two phones and wallet. Oh and a zippo. Nobody should leave the house without fire.

>>66996 Does a zippo evaporate quickly if you're not using it a lot (smoking)? I heard if you want fires for emergencies you'd take a bic lighter instead of a zippo. Gotta admit I love a guy who pulls out a zippo whenever someone asks for a light though.

>>66999 Zippos aren't much good for anyone who isn't a smoker for that reason. Better than either would be an IMCO Triplex or similar. They still lose fluid to evaporation, but much slower than a Zippo does and they're more generally useful than either a Zippo or a Bic.

one can also just keep a sparker, such as the magnesium rods to go on keychains. they last basically forever, but rather less convenient to use. Modern matches are very shelfstable if you keep them dry. Bics, too in my experience.

>>67005 Not sold on the usefulness of a magnesium firestarter as an EDC item. Without a tinderbox and unless you're planning on starting a fire in the middle of the floor at your workplace, I don't see the application. Unless you're some kind of chad who also EDCs a flintlock longrifle and a coonskin hat, in which case I bow to the king.

I don't have edc. I leave the house with nothing. I think you guys are really weird freaks for obsessing over this stuff and those of you who carry weapons terrify me. I don't even own a phone or watch. I don't understand why people load themselves with all this junk. But that's just my opinion it's not a big deal I love you guys let's all love Lain. It's just an opinion not meant to offend anyone here. Please thank you peace love sailor moon.

Location: USA, pnw Glock 43 in the appendussy Anodized black Leatherman rebar Keys Wallet (ID, 125 cash (1 100, 1 20, 1 5) microsd with ssh keys and soykaf. No debit/credit) Pot/nicotine vape Rooted OnePlus. No gapps. Just calls, text, mp3 and Firefox mobile. 15 dollar Bluetooth earbuds. I traded an old router for them.

>>67008 I don't think people should be allowed to own weapons

>>67044 Such an opinion is entirely irrelevant; the right to own weapons (and all others, for that matter) is guaranteed by the ownership of said weapons. An unarmed populace is only ever one bad day away from unstoppable tyranny. I suspect we'll see just such a condition once again imposed on Europe's terminally harmless population very soon.

>>67045 No you're wrong. Weapons are wrong. You like them because you played video games and your machismo depends on them

>>67046 Do you expect that the people and organizations in this world that are willing to harm or kill you to serve their own goals are going to disarm themselves as well once you tell them that owning weapons is wrong? Of course not. They'll just thank you for making their purpose that much easier while you dig the hole. Suicidally pure naïveté and nothing more.

>>67047 I don't care and don't believe in your conspiracy. I want the cops to be disarmed too or at least severely limited ( revolver only, only 4 round of live ammunition, doctrine to always prefer batons and pepper spray and taser, sharpshooter requirements to make precision min lethal shots) There is no big bad gov. Only people. I'd much rather be an unarmed person in the face of a tyranny that'll never appear than live every single day in fear of a psycho with a gun

>>67048 Then you'll always be a slave in waiting. That's fine too, but you can't expect others to play along. The general inertia of all of human history can hardly be called conspiracy. The notion that those in power will be disarmed and won't abuse their power once everyone is disarmed is laughably childish. Humans have been on this planet for around 2 million years and there's no evidence to suggest it has ever worked that way even once. "sharpshooter requirements to make precision min lethal shots" is a total fantasy that belies a complete lack of subject matter knowledge, by the way. Precision weapons are lethal and nonlethal weapons are imprecise.

>>67049 Please just stop. You don't know what you're talking about. Your brain is all politics and conspiracy, zero pragmatism.

>>67050 If you can demonstrate that I'm wrong rather than just say so, you might have an argument. As it stands, only one of us has sunk into video game logic. I can't tell if you're a European or merely a child, but either way it's obvious who doesn't know what they're talking about. I will commend you for consistency though; In a battle wits or weapons, you clearly approach either the same way: completely unarmed.

>>66990 Nice entry fellow euranon, might do an updated EDC with my backpack and some parameters you have entered.

My EDC is just phone, wallet, keys, and sunscreen. Don't forget to take care of your skin, lains. >>67006 I carried one for a few years after it was given to me as a gift. It came in handy a few times when I was camping with people who brought lighters or matches that got wet. They're not too difficult to use. >>67050 >>67051 If you want to have a discussion about the ethics of weapon ownership, it's probably best to start a new thread in /r/.

i wish i went outside enough to justify having a proper edc, it's usually just wallet + keys + shopping bag + maybe a phone if i feel so inclined to carry one that day. all i can offer is other peoples edc pics. there is something satisfying about people laying their stuff out neatly and it's fun guessing what they do for a living. i wonder if anybody has been doxed through one?

>>66869 >Glock + Suica Criminal? LARPer? Old card from travel (basically same as previous option)? Need more info lainon

>>67101 Glock's are hyper popular world wide and are not too hard to get in a no gun country

>>67103 Suicas are only used in Japan. It's extremely hard to get anything other than a shotgun there.

>>67101 >>67107 Sorry not a jap but I go there quite often because of my profession.

Any pencil or pocketable notebook recommendations? I've enjoyed using both the pentel P207 and the GraphGear 500 as far as pencils go. I usually keep an Elan field notebook in my car/bag but would like something I could always take with me.

Aussie here so no guns or knives which is fine. Also I’m not camping so my flashlight is my phone. I try to go as light as I can, if I’m not driving my car keys stay home. I think about carrying a back-up battery or a notepad, but since I often leave wherever I am charged my phone usually lasts long enough and I end up never end up needing a notepad. iPhone 12 mini with an Otterbox case Apple Watch 8 AirPods Pro RM Williams trifold wallet Orbitkey with my keys and security token Car keys Kiehl’s lipbalm Nicotine gum (stale smoke smells like arse and vaping is kinda lame, at least gum is minty)

>>67776 Rite in the Rain will always be king of pocket notebooks. How do you like the PX4? I've thought about copping one but the relative expense of getting it cut for optics has stopped me thus far.

>Dell Latitude 7490 running Windows 10 LTSC >BiC Cristal ReNew >Notepad >Texas Instruments TI-92 >Google Pixel 4a running LineageOS >SIG Sauer P320 subcompact thats all

>>67791 I'll give them a look. I'm a big fan of the px4. Both my full size and compact have been extremely reliable and I just seem to shoot them well. Would highly recommend the LTT trigger bar + Chrome silicon hammer springs. GunCuts just started doing optics cuts for nearly 1/2 the price of the LTT job. Not sure if it's to the same quality or not though.

>>67776 I like pretty notebooks, I get homemade ones from a local stationary store. I use a fine point refillable zebra pencil M-301. Pencils are a soykaf tho. get a nice pen. Pens require you to think about what you are going to write since they are permanent. I haven't used my pencil for anything other than work (required) since I was in grade 1. Pens let you accessorize and modify ink thickness, smoothness, colour, and pen weight. Pencils are basically all the same, few standard lead size options and unless you are drawing, most people use no.2 lead. Not sure who uses mechanical for drawing, and carpentry pencils are cheap as fuarrrk for most workplace sites and can be sharpened with a knoif.

>>67793 >GunCuts just started doing optics cuts At least they offer a cut for the RMRcc if nothing else. LTT is the king of spaghetti modification but I don't really want to stick a full sized RMR on a PX4 compact. Might have to put hands on one finally. Everyone seems to talk about how nice they shoot. I like my P365XL, don't get me wrong, but I could do with some DA/SA carry in my life.

>>67795 line tricks and stuff can often be done with pencils too, but to be honest havent seen much use of it. Youre almost tempting me to go get a carpentry pencil and carve it a nice chisel head for caligraphy lol.

Here's my broke ass edc. Not pictured: some crapy samsung phone >>67776 Hello fellow chad Amphibian user

>>67044 this thread is just a nother cryptofash thread so retard normal people from the other chan can boast about how much money they spent on their penis extensions. Just dullard rightoids who want to make everyone as paranoid and insane as they are. maybe they should have spent that gun money on something more valuable but they'll never reflect like that

this thread is just a nother cryptoauthoritarian thread so retarded people from the outer space can brag about how much they hate you. Just dullard authoritarians who want to make everyone as weak and misterable as they are. maybe they should have spent that neovag money on something more practical but they'll never reflect like that.

>>67961 But you can't fight the government anon. A very smart man who definitely isn't regularly sundowning on live TV told me that the government has F-16s so you should just bend over and take it whenever they want!

What is a good short pen with a cap that will write well that I can carry in my pocket?

>>70715 I suppose you can just go to a stationery store try the pens there. where I live they just offer a stack of paper beside the shelf and let you test writing the pen.

>>67068 that lil bear keychain is adorable, but there's way too much stuff lol. i doubt that poster of that pic carries all that.

what the absolute f1ck is wrong with you yuppies i havent carried a phone in my entire life. i did buy some to play with but i would never carry one thats retarded. there are still payphones everywhere ive never even owned a credit card ive never used a loyalty card i never used a payment card once in my life i carry a wallet with a few thousand of bills and usually nothing much more i carried an mp3 player with 8gb - enough to fit all the good music in the world and no fillers - i got in 2008 until it fell out of my pocket

>>70904 >. there are still payphones everywhere TFW payphones every few blocks, but the homeless people and teenagers destroyed them and sold parts for scrap. The last time I saw one that worked was at the bus station travel center.

>>70904 90% of the payphones where I live one by one quit working between 2005 and 2015. Some are still there, looking like they plausibly work, but careful inspection reveals the cord to be cut, just never been carried away. One must know precisely where to go if you want to use one, and be willing to take a long detour to do it. I still do not carry a telephone of course, but here payphones aren't a valid excuse.

>>70904 i think you're the yuppy if you can manage to live life like that. I dont get to choose to use those things. I have to

>>70904 >i carry a wallet with a few thousand of bills and usually nothing much more You are practically begging to get robbed. Granted, there's also 99% chance you're lying so I wouldn't sweat it too much if I were you

>>70992 you should move somewhere nicer. Ive never been robbed not once not anything. never had anyone break into any thing I own either.

Not anti guns but what's the point of carrying around a gun with you everywhere? Shooting someone dead seems like a gigantic pain in the ass legally when you can just pepper spray them and run off/beat them up.

>>71222 Mostly a way of coping with insecurity and feelings of inferiority. You're right there are a lot of other (and in some cases more effective) ways to defend yourself.

>>71222 >>71223 is completely on the money to be quite honest. The gun-centric focus on self defense tends to come from this idea that the only way to properly protect yourself is to be ready to kill everyone you are around. Which itself ties back to this insecurity and paranoia ever-present in gun heavy cultures.

i carry a smart phone made in the last 6 months because i need it for work so the smileys my boss sends me will render and i use google and youtube for all my learning because google has a monopoly yeah thats it

>>71222 i just like carrying one

>>71222 Same reason you put your security belt when driving: you're not expecting nor wanting a crash, but in the event you need it, not having it has a cost too great.

>>71225 I almost got shot the other day. I believe a gun is a necessity at all times now. I was about 10-15 feet away so pepper spray or a knife would not have saved me if I tried to use it. That being said, pepper spray or a knife may be a good way to stop a threat that is not armed, but if they have a gun, then they're likely to shoot you in response. At least where I live, this is true. Also, pepper spray and knives are not useful beyond arm distance if the attacker has a ranged weapon. I would like to know what other forms of self defense >>71223 was talking about though. Once I get my gun I'll carry it, and a knife, on me at all times. I understand some people think this is too much, but I don't want to ever look down the barrel of a gun ever again without some way to save myself.

>>67045 Do you really think your handgun matters to a modern military with drones among other things?

>>71243 >Also, pepper spray and knives are not useful beyond arm distance if the attacker has a ranged weapon. In truth a gun is actually more useful at around 10+ft away. At arm's length distance it is much faster to draw and use a knife, pepper spray, or some other manual weapon that doesn't require aiming.

>>71256 Pain-compliance in general is a joke. It will not stop a motivated attacker, for that you need to actually cause damage or gtfo if you can.

>>71257 Not sure what you're babbling about, I didn't say a word about pain compliance. My point was that actually firing a bullet at someone in close proximity is in general slower than many melee alternatives. Police understand this by the way and it's one of the reasons they are trained to keep their distance from suspects.

>>71265 most of this comes from the fact that someone close can be on you very quickly, and whatever weapon you have will take time to draw and make useful. The point is to have your gun out when you get close to someone dangerous, not switch to your sword when the range gets below fifteen feet. Cops are in a different boat than random people though, assumed to be armed, holding a certain status and attention drawing power.

>>71243 I'm sorry you live in one of the said gun-heavy, paranoid cultures I was referring to. I don't blame you for holding that anxiety and believing it necessary. This is a systemic and societal problem, not an individual problem.

>>71024 I don't know much about the other models but mine (s22 flip) has held up well for the 6 or so months I've had it. If you go into it knowing what to expect it isn't bad.

>>71328 I am the same guy. I just got that one, but that looks like the same in the >>67776 picture. It has been alright—the screen is a bit small bit usable. Typing with a sideloaded T9 keyboard has been a bit of a pain so I've mostly been using the official GBoard with swipe-typing, which has been the most convenient thing so far. It also seems like there are no custom ROMs but maybe rooting is possible? I've just been using F-Droid apps mostly so far, but it might be good to remove bloat etc

>pocket bible >pocket tarot deck

Wallet, phone (rooted android but botnet still), multi-tool (leatherman wingman), some jigglers and padlock shims i keep in my wallet, lighter. been looking at the sensorwatch project though it looks cool. Used to have one of those casio watches and it was great, can't remember what happened to it though.

a pocket knife, buttplug, wallet, phone.... don't gotta make it so complicated

>>70904 Sure, I'll bite. >8gb is enough for all the good music in the world lmao

>>70904 It's hard to receive a call from a pay phone, and they aren't really all that common in rural areas. A lot of places don't take cash anymore, but yeah cash is cool. fuarrrk credit, and loyalty too. Payment also is like kicking dead whales down the beach but often necessary (payment card means like debit or interact, right?)

>>71603 >A lot of places don't take cash anymore what country/region are you in ? I find that places that say 'no cash' always will take cash when its clear I won't pay any other way.

>>71605 busy urban area in north america. restaurants don't like to take cash, grocery store nearest me is 'self checkout' only except for one lane filled with old people- also need a payment card of some kind to get cash from atm because tellers will just tell you to use the atm if you try and ask them for cash. i guess you could skip the bank entirely, but that makes it hard to pay bills. if only i was a faster man.

it's not much, but everything I need

Just the essentials. >the body was too short

Just the most important things - phone (iPhone 11) - watch (Casio B640W) - cigarettes (pall mall/winston) - lighter/matches - keys - chinese knife - lipstick - sometimes wallet

>>71606 >restaurants don't like to take cash this is not the case for one single city in north america you are in a little bubble because you only visit the gluten free fly by night restaurant who market themselves as an ipod just another LARPcucc nothing to see here

>>71851 Tons of places in my city, especially ones without dine in, will outright refuse cash. tennage tellers don't want to do the reg, manager doesn't trust to do the reg, and it's just too slow when you have to service so many people at once with minimal staff. I don't eat out much anyway though.

>>71874 >outright refuse cash. When this happens, do you pull out your debt card or do you tell them you can't pay then and start moving to leave. I dont have a debt card, so I do the latter. And every single time they quickly discover that they can, in fact, take cash.

>>71851 I've never had a place in Houston deny me paying cash. >>71879 Most of the places worth avoiding say things like "no cash" like at the farmer's market, everyone takes cash except the one or two people who clearly won't be there in a month.

>>71879 Usually with "no dine in" restaurants, which in my area make up a majority especially since the pandemic, you pay before you get the food. Even if there is a small dine in area, it's often expected that you go to a counter to order and pickup the food, paying on the spot. Places where you pay after will usually take whatever if it means getting payed- they're just not very common around here. I don't dine out too often, but most of what i do consists of the cheaper end of the scale where this is pretty much the norm. Again it's not like there's no restaurants that'll take cash, it's just that many (a majority) do not. Even so, eating out isn't something i do all that often, it was just an example (grocery stores, the bus, and the fact that getting cash in the first place requires a payment card, are much more influential on my decision). But yes, I think it's fair to say that in this "single city in north america" restaurants "do not like to take cash". I'm sure there are places, but i have yet to find a place here where i can purchase condoms with cash.

>>72938 it's been like 3 years since i have this laptop keyboard's working fine the webcam doesn't work though, a few months ago stopped working.

>>72938 oh, right, phone. i dont know what it is. it was $45 used and it doesnt know what a WLAN device or a GPS is. unfortunately the OS is british and glitched to hell. fortunately, Snake is built in.

>>72945 the state of that banana reminded me of the night after a concert i went to once: after this concert, a friend of mine made friends with the bouncer of a club across the street. when we tried to get in, the bouncer noticed the $20 walmart cross-body bag i had at the time. inside it was a banana. before letting us in, naturally, the bouncer wanted to check the bag. he checked it, and the procedure this time started with squeezing the life out of it. once he was sure nothing felt like a bomb and/or gun, he looked inside, and then glared deep into my soul when he saw the newly made banana pudding. after a good 5 seconds of silence: "..healthy choice"

>>71818 cool unihertz anon. What's the latest version of android it supports? Can you install lineage? Or at least root it?

>>66869 >- Sharp Aquos Keitai (Android, rooted) How's the vendorware? Are you able to clean it up easily after rooting it?

while i'm sure the op is a normal person without nefarious intentions these threads are really just self-enabled data mining threads, sharing the personal items you carry with you and weaponry, by all means give the world an insight into what kind of person you are, deanonymize yourself, while an average person couldn't correlate your posts with your identity a federal investigator or automated surveillance systems could and those are the entities to really be concerned about

>>73077 it's nonexistent because all services are discontinued, and it's pretty easy to customise, albeit if you load up your own home app, it breaks often and the aesthetic is lost, so I use sharp's own software. Software support is okay, most things run well such as element messenger and browser is fine. Otherwise it won't even do telemetry because it's all discontinued, disabled it all tho

>>67068 that is one of the sexiest yet coziest EDC pics I've ever seen

>>73094 >it's nonexistent because all services are discontinued lol, true. good to know there's a way to disable it even if sharp doesn't even touch the phone anymore too though, and sideloading works also, it seems

>>73182 >neurosuggesting guns don't require a lot of tech What about optical sighting systems What about laser sights What about special high tech ammunition What about rangefinders What about corner shot It would make my day if a lain EDCs one of those Weapons should be part of any edc where there is a reasonable threat to you being in a gun fight. On the other hand, most people are not really under threat of being in a gun fight, and even fewer would know what to do becasue of a lack of training, so does it really require spending 1-4 months of discretionary income? I used to EDC a combat pistol, but there was too much of a risk, I had to go through multiple metal detectors regularly where I could get arrested (strict gun laws), and I only went from work to home and the corner store for food. It was easier to just leave it at home, especially after I stopped living in a literal soykafhole where my neighbors did try to kill me. The moral of the story, don't piss off drug dealers and gang bangers, and don't spend money or effort on soykaf you don't need. When my GF questioned why I had a gun, told her if my neighbors want to fuarrrk around and start soykaf, I'm going to end it for them. I was in a pretty bad place after coming back from war to be honest I hated seeing junkies on my street, and the vandalism and gang threats on a weekly basis was soykaf. My EDC now is just my house key, wallet, and work phone and a knife if I am going outdoors or a lockpick set in case I might need it. Skills are always better than tools for EDC, what skills do lains learn for everyday use? Lockpicking is a usefull one.

>>73381 Rest of your post was fine. Most cities that you would want to carry a gun in have soykaf laws for gun owners. >1-4 months of discretionary income Lain you can get an EC9(s) for... 350$ MSRP. That should be bi-weekly discretionary easily. Also, unlike 95% of things, guns tend to hold value fairly well over time (minus the new->used transition). So basically no money lost if you get tired of it.

I just carry my phone and my wallet, a box cutter (specifically for cutting pieces of paper), a permanent marker and my best friend Arthur, who is a stuffed penguin. It looks like OP carries a gun around all the time. How many times has OP actually used that thing? Is that really a useful item?

>>73395 By the way pic related this is Arthur.

>>73395 >>73396 Comfy post :) I carry a bunch of stuff going in and out of work. and carry way less when going somewhere not work related. I'll probably make my own post about it. >EDC firearm Not a US citizen, any lainon want to fill me in the reason you would want to carry one in their situation? I'm just skimming the thread. If it was already mentioned, sorry not sorry.

>>73385 >guns tend to hold value fairly well over time (minus the new->used transition). So basically no money lost if you get tired of it. I remember my copy of Farcry 2 I had when I was a kid was bugged so every single Jackal tape I found just had the same conversation in it where he say guns aren't biodegradable lol.

>>73398 to some degree its a political statement even if its concealed. Like the Sikhs with their knives, the American with his EDC firearm is partially carrying it to show even just to himself that he's a free citizen. The gun is a symbol of independence and freedom, as modern weapons have always been. It also does have occasional use, and the theory is of course that if you ever do need to use it, you likely will really need to use it and want it immediately available. Of all the people I know in America who carry firearms none have to my knowledge fired one in anger in America, but most of them do practice and go out hunting once in a while at least. Also useful against hostile animals, which we do have over here. When I was a kid my parents wanted me to carry a cellphone so I could call the emergency hotline if I needed to. I've literally never called it in my life, but people consider it possibly useful. Carrying a gun accomplishes an overlapping goal but with more self empowerment.

>>73402 I want to get a gun but I dont think Id pass the background check because I have been in a psych ward and I think someone still has a restraining order against me until next may

>>73404 well it doesnt hurt to give it a try or buy from a friend

>>73408 >buy from a friend Is that a felony in the US?

>>73409 nope its perfectly legal in most states. no need for a background check in most cases, either. Seller may be obliged to keep a record or that sort of thing. Worth checking your states laws before doing it but its probably fine.

>>73409 >>73410 WARNING: It is still a felony if you are someone who is not allowed to possess a firearm. Read the laws for your state, the list is usually something like this: You cannot possess a firearm if you are: - A convicted felon - Addicted to a scheduled substance - Under a restraining order for abusing a partner - Convicted of certain violent crimes - Other misc. trash Being involuntarily committed to a psych ward does fry you in most states, although only for 5-20 years (varies by state IIRC). tl;dr: Go read your state laws for firearm possession, if you think you qualify then a background check won't matter, if you think you don't then stay away from guns unless you are OK with potentially spending a long time in jail

>>73428 Yeah I'll just wait a few years. I can still buy fireworks and those are kind of like guns so I'm good. Luckily I don't live in an active combat zone so not having a gun isn't much of an issue.

I wanted to ask anyone in this thread if they have experience with keitai (particularly those not in the US)? What are the major troubles you found in getting one and how do you find it as a (possible) daily driver?

>>73428 tl;dr if youre an ib schizo you cant carry normal people can no problem

Do you guys think wristwatches are worth it for their long lasting batteries even if you already have a phone to tell the time?

I'm europoor so my edc is soykaf : >flip flop phone >soykaf ass knife >pepper spray >some cash >flashligt + batteries >dynamo radio >earphones >steel water bottle + canned food >lighter and spare matches >random chinkshit watch

>>74933 let's be honest, do you really need much more than that?

>>74935 Honestly, that's fine. I'm thinking of adding a bit more rope if I ever need to build something or tie things down. Maybe change the knife, now I just have a low cost foldable knife I'd like to be in the USA and be able to have a gun, but in my country it's forbidden sadly

>>74932 The best part of a wristwatch is the ergonomics. It's unlike pulling out a whole phone.

I dont wear a wristwatch because I very seldom need to know the time more accurately than I can guess. If I needed often to know it well, I'd probably wear one. Also not especially useful in emergencies. Maybe if I was into precise geographical reckoning.

>>71256 You don't need to aim at arm's length...

>>75120 The other can dodge or use their arms to block, and you need to land a good blow/stab/slash to do any real damage. Even using a gun at arm's length isn't a guaranteed hit; if you're moving a lot you can miss.

What's a decent SAK for an office drone? I'm looking at the super tinker right now but maybe it's a little too complicated for my use case?

>>75171 i work in an office and literally the only part i use of my skeletool is the knife and screw driver bits, so presumably any one with those parts. well i use the bottle opener on my lunch break, but that could be done with any rigid object with a sharpish angle.

>>75225 what kind of life do you lead where a pair of pliers isnt constantly useful? >>75120 if you have the gun out and pointed and ready to shoot, at arms length, sure. If they're attacking you from 5 feet away you do not have time to draw aim and fire. Probably the same goes for pepper spray but I guess you in theory dont need good aim for that, but if the attacker has a knife you're easily dead either way lol.

>66869 Late to the party, but my EDC consists of the average Android phone, leather wallet, trusty seiko 5 mechanical automatic, zippo lighter and carabiner for my keys. I've got an iron with IWB hoster, but I don't often carry it outdoors. It's not a super techy EDC, most of my techy stuff happens in the home. >>There are still software maintained for n900 over at maemo forums. I have an N800 that I used to use about 10 years ago. I had just found the batteries for it about 2 months ago and got it to boot up. It ran for a few days then battery went out. I couldn't get it to power on after sitting on the charger, but I've got some neat applications installed on it and some music.

>>75905 >i use VanillaGift cards to buy Monero. Any specific localmonero sellers that you've had luck with?

>>71222 Because other people are carrying them. Some with the sole intent of shooting and killing as many people as possible. Mass murder is a thing. I put on my seatbelt, I walk look both ways before crossing the road and I carry a method to defend myself against a psycho with a weapon. Guns can also be a great deterrent to someone threatening you with a lesser weapon. They can stop robberies (most criminals actually don't want a fight). Guns are actually very practical tools for self defense. You can't always run away pepper spray can backfire since it leaves a cloud of pain and doesnt have range you can't always "beat them up" - florida junkies can fight off 4 cops while jacking off.

>>76244 where do you live, are you the only white dude in a ghetto my friend? even then you'd have to be dressed like a yupee to get fuarrrked with, that's overkill as fuarrrk imho

>>76245 excuse me overkill is when you carry a weapon loaded with high calibre armour piercing rounds and you hit multiple people with a single shot because shooting into crowd. Many people carry hollow point and such for self/home defense as it tends to not overpenetrate to the same degree, less accidentally shooting people across the street through multiple walls sorts of thing that way.

>>76245 I have to ask are you delusional? do you have any idea how mentally unstable a lot of the people around you are? Do you have any idea how quickly a situation can go from a conversation to violence. We're talking seconds here. It's not overkill by any means. If I dont ever have to draw my gun towards another person - GOOD If a seatbelt and Airbag don't ever save my life - GOOD

>>76244 >>76245 >>76246 As the only white dude in the ghetto, unironically, I can address some of these. Carrying a gun to stop a mass shooting is a bit of a meme, just like carrying it to defend yourself from others with guns. The lethal range of a gun is long enough that you can be killed without yourself being in range to shoot the shooter. Second, most people carry guns but don't have enough experience to actually draw it when they would need to. If you die in a driveby then you aren't exactly in a gun fight. In the end carrying a gun is just a lawyers wet dream. If you have hollow points it's because "you are a psychopath who wanted his targets to explode" and if you have armour piercing rounds, it is because you "want to kill cops" and are a bad person. Also in most cases, AP rounds are considered illegal for exactly that reason. I won't say that it is overkill, but I will say that a poorly trained "good guy" with a gun is just as bad as a bad guy with a gun. Unless you open carry or are good at concealed carry quick draw, then the odds of someone closing the distance on you before you can get your gun out are high. Especially if they have a gun out. You can't just go around shooting bad people unless you have a good lawyer or want to risk serious jail time and prejudice. Being friendly with your neighbours and not acting like an easy target or victim will get you more respect than carrying a gun will. Also, you underestimate the power of people in packs. Friendship is unironically the best EDC

>>76252 This guy speaks the truth. However bad the neighborhood, try to make a few friends. Another thing I learned is if you want to avoid trouble, 1. Don't be a sissy, and 2. Don't be a bully.

>>76252 >Carrying a gun to stop a mass shooting is a bit of a meme except when it isn't. There are several real world cases where CCW have shot and killed would be mass shooters. >Second, most people carry guns but don't have enough experience to actually draw it when they would need to. neither does the person that they are drawing on. With concealed carry you get the element of surprise. Most trannies don't know how to look for people reaching. >In the end carrying a gun is just a lawyers wet dream In the real world a lot of lawyers carry weapons. especially considering their line of work. >Unless you open carry or are good at concealed carry quick draw, then the odds of someone closing the distance on you before you can get your gun out are high. Especially if they have a gun out completely subjective to the situation - if you can see the back of their ear you have a good 2 whole seconds to draw. That's pretty good odds. >Being friendly with your neighbours and not acting like an easy target or victim will get you more respect than carrying a gun will. I agree - a gun is not a tool to command respect. It's a tool for self defense. >you underestimate the power of people in packs. Exactly why I own a rifle as well. While there are examples of people doing stupid soykaf in situations with CCW it still is sometimes the ONLY method of controlling a situation until help arrives (minutes later). Every sane, reasonable and healthy person should carry and train with a gun. literally the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun whether that by you or the cop long after you're filled with holes.

>>76282 >There are several real world cases where CCW have shot and killed would be mass shooters. Let's see them.

>>76283 This is the first and last time I'm gonna spoon feed you: https://crimeresearch.org/2023/08/cases-where-armed-citizens-have-stopped-active-shooter-incidents/ Try google next time.

>>76284 Seems like most of these cases involving shooting after a mass shooter had already done some mass shooting, and others it's entirely speculation whether the person was in fact going to be a mass shooter if they hadn't been stopped. So you're close, but you haven't quite justified your argument with this source. I'm sure the hostility towards "spoonfeeding" (otherwise known as supporting your own argument) comes from realizing your argument isn't very strong.

>>76285 >shooting after a mass shooter had already done some mass shooting, no soykaf? that's the point - they start opening fire into a crowd of people. kill a few and a private citizen steps in before they can rack up a body count. I think you're missing the point here. this is a case and point example of a private citizen protecting life from a clear and obvious threat. >it's entirely speculation whether the person was in fact going to be a mass shooter if they hadn't been stopped. >opens fire on a group of people >but did they mean to kill them? ...im done

>>76283 https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/19/us/eli-dicken-indiana-mall-shooting-bystander/index.html fair to point out that had the shooter here been by accident the first guy the shooter shot he'd probably have no shot at stopping the shooting, https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/man-who-took-out-church-gunman-to-receive-states-highest-civilian-honor/2290236/ I guess the troubling part of that guy's wording is 'would be mass shooter'. If he hasn't shot yet then maybe he wasn't gonna, and if he had then its not a 'would be' but an 'is'. Both these cases have five victims between them so I think its fair to call them not mass shootings but mere shootings, and if the timely death of the perpetrator is what stopped it, then its very likely a would be mass shooter.

>>76285 this is the saddest straw-grasping i've seen in a while the man literally dropped a list of 100+ cases and the best you've got is "well if the shooter already shot some people it doesn't count as saving, and if they didn't shoot people you dunno if they would've, so really it is IMPOSSIBLE to stop le shootings, c h e c k m a t e CCW's"

>>76285 >I'm sure the hostility towards "spoonfeeding" No, this is part of chan culture. If it is something that isn't hard for you to find on your own, or if it's something that most people should/would probably already know, then you don't need to be sourcing whatever it is you are saying. Another issue is that if you spoonfeed, you're actually disrespecting the intelligence of the individual you are talking to. It's also a form of gatekeeping, because it keeps retards out. A retard will think "Wow, this community just makes soykaf up." and, hopefully, just leave or become disinterested in further discussion. By the way, either quit being new (lurk) or quit being intellectually dishonest (more likely the case) Of course, there are expections where you're expected to provide sources, but those are not spoonfeeding. Of course, I won't be spoonfeeding you these details, you can figure it out yourself.

>>76289 No, it's a part of /r/ culture. That anon just didn't realize they were on the wrong board. Defending your own argument with sourcing isn't "spoonfeeding", and feigning outrage over it just speeds to insecurity.

>>76287 >I guess the troubling part of that guy's wording is 'would be mass shooter'. Yeah this was my issue with it. The assertion was a bit hyperbolic and presumes information we can never really know ("What would have happened in an alternate future?"). A less dubious assertion would be that armed civilians have sometimes stopped shootings before law enforcement arrived.

And to people who think that the semantics and precise definitions don't matter for these things, its pretty clear there's a lot of motivated tabulation on both sides of this issue. School shootings sometimes are defined in such a way as to include someone getting shot across the street from a school at 2AM in the middle of summer vacation as a school shooting. I don't know about the site that guy provided, but caution is well warranted.

>>76289 >>76290 >No, it's a part of /r/ culture I've been on imageboards since 2004. It's always been more than just random, lainon. Maybe you feel this way because of the subject matter, but they did end up providing sources. Frankly, you seem like an idealogue. First, it's not hard to put "Gun that stopped mass shootings" -- Then you can make your goalpost move and instead start to write things like "oh but its actually just not common / rare / etc." from "It never happens." The thing is, if we're talking about the U.S., the entire point of the 2A is to be a threat to the government. If they overstep, you kill them. Simple as. It's not because of "hunting", it's for self-defence (from tyranny.) People are always trying to make changes when they have a lot of different options of places they can live that already practice those values. What about where I want to live? The incompatibility argument only leads to violence, so what's the real move? You ban guns, then what? You probably enforce policies that would make people wish they hadn't derezzed guns, right?

The only thing I carry every day is Jesus Christ. I suppose He really carries me. : )

I often overstuff the small pocket on my backpack with various small(ish) items, including pens, multi-tools/knives, USB drives, etc. Is there a good way to organize these and/or prevent over-stuffing? >>76299 This is the correct answer Blessed be the name of Jesus

>>76299 That's fuarrrking gay Substitutionary atonement is fuarrrking gay Everything weak within this world stems from Abrahamisn & Monetheistic dualism. Grow up. Nobody will do the work for you other than yourself.

>>76393 Get or make a small utility pouch or get a pen case/organizer you savage. Evaluate what you actually need. I used to carry a full medical trauma kit, multiple water bottles, snacks, extendable baton, and a full change of clothes. Now I just selectively carry a flashlight, multitool, sharpie, pen, and notebook along with a rain jacket if it looks cloudy.Are you REALLY going to need a USB every single day? Otherwise, get smaller items. I went from a large hand sized flashlight to a tiny AAA pocket flashlight/penlight. Another underrated item is a Japanese hand towel, or Tenugui, which you can use for a number of reasons in case you cant find hand towels, it also has survival/first aid uses, or can be worn as a fashion statement. If you aren't a weeb, carry a Hankerchief.

>>76407 >are you really going to need x every single day I think the question is really about expected average daily net utility. A pen is not particularly useful imho, but its modestly useful fairly regularly, and its pretty small, so why not. A decent knife is, if you ask me, more useful more regularly. takes up a bit more space and weight, but still expected positive. A trauma kit is a harder question, if you need it it could be extremely useful, but most people can live their lives without ever needing it at all. Hopefully everyone knows what theyre liable to run into and can make some sane judgements; some people really need USB drives. Some people, alien as I find them, seem to not understand wanting a pocket knife.

>>76408 most of the utility you get from a pocket knife i can get from keys on my keychain.

>>76410 IDK about you but I need clean cuts a lot more than I need to unlock doors. Keys do much of the same things knives do, but slower and worse. Sharper, pointier, sturdier and with a handle that doesn't hurt your hand if you try to apply actual force, I use my pocket knife for tasks a key would struggle to do far more frequently than I unlock things.

>>76410 You slice cheese and trim cord with your keys?

>>76428 back alley circumcisions desu

Notebook-carriers: how do you use them? I have a semi-used Rite in the Rain scribbled with random notes (which reminds me: I have lots of random notes to myself and I'm not sure I'll ever get to them) and some other pocket-sized notebooks. I have recently been interested in keeping a daily journal of sorts (though, is this feasible on a small notebook I can carry anywhere?) to keep, e.g. day-to-day track of transactions as well as tasks to do and plans/resolutions. However, I don't know where to start. For some reason I'm reluctant to get a pre-made planner, although I think I've found one that pretty much has everything I want/need (perhaps it's just too expensive)—what say you?

>>78045 I keep a small notebook (~A5, 100p) with me most of the time when I travel. It is a bit too big to keep in a pocket, but it fits easily in any bag. I use it as a diary, dream journal as well as to scribble random notes. I don't really like pre-made planners, because I don't need every day's page and the pages I need are too small. Also the printed stuff interferes with my scribbles.

>>78047 Are the pages pre-allocated/indexed in any way? Do you add in a date/chronology as you go, or is it all unordered, as I have done previously?

Im more curious what everyone is carrying all this soykaf in. You all wearing cargo pants with like 6 pockets or have a bag you carry?

>>78055 I mark dates as I go, and I have some unordered notes at the end >>78056 I have a backpack with me most of the time. When I don't, I only carry my wallet, keys and a pocket knife

>>78047 I also wonder whether there is a good way to divy what goes digitally (because text editors and text files can be very powerful and useful) vs on paper, since paper is portable and doesn't need batteries, and I won't always have a laptop >>78056 good question >>78060 I see, that sounds pretty simple. I hope you don't mind more questions, but is it pretty much just `2024-06-15` whenever you start a new day, then you write things from there? And at the end, do you use the last page and work backwards, or have a specific point from which you begin the unordered notes and go forwards? Do you do anything to address the unordered notes after the fact?

>>78061 >I also wonder whether there is a good way to divy what goes digitally I guess you could train an OCR model on your handwriting and digitize your notebooks. Most of what I write I don't really want easily searchable so I never did that. Not sure how hard it would be or if there are some pre-trained models you would just have to fine-tune. >but is it pretty much just `2024-06-15` whenever you start a new day, then you write things from there? yes, although I prefer writing the dates in full (Saturday, 15th June 2024) >And at the end, do you use the last page and work backwards I flip the notebook, so that I'm still turning the pages left to right. I don't really organise the end-notes, except when I have to copy some into a new notebook.

any advice on where to get a good (leather) wallet?

>>66869 I'm a car user so I don't carry much of anything on me besides my keys and whatever I will immediately need right then for whatever I’m doing. It's just annoying having pockets full of bullshit, I’m not going back to that when I can just throw it in the glove-box and forget about it

>>78045 >Notebook-carriers: how do you use them? Just note down things to do, things to remember, things to ask etc. Don't try hard to find a usecase for your notebook, it'll come eventually. Just keep it around even though it's empty.

>>79857 >pockets normal personpants pockets SUCK you need good pants/beltholsters/etc etc >>80242 lol I do that and then I get like three unlabled numbers written in it

keyring/keys/usbstick/victorinox wenger coins for bus or vending machine pocket knife paper money occasionally, cellphone cotton bandana small comb wallet sun hat sunglasses watch occasionally, fanny pack for papers/pen

>>80248 >small comb having a blast on the go, I see

>>80246 >lol I do that and then I get like three unlabled numbers written in it Well, label them next time then? If they're not important after one-use that's okay. I often plan my work for the month on one page and there would be some unrelated gibberish on the other. Eventually, you'll fit a style in. It took me a year to finally standardize the style. There are still some pages in the middle of something important but you get used to it.

>>80323 I know what all of them are theyre just keys to specific things its just like a whole book for three numbers. Coulda used the back of a business card.

Everyday carry - resentment of spending time helping a humanity that doesn't want to be helped - bitterness of realizing just how shallow and superficial humans really are - jogger deterrent - wallet - keys - smile - an infinity of memetic creativity - a pre 9/11 sense of humor That's heavy enough for one set of shoulders.

Current Everyday Carry: - Wallet - Pocket Bible I've considered adding a few minor things to the list of everyday carries. Specifically, a swiss army knife and a flashlight. I may also consider a raincoat, umbrella, or something else of that sort in the case I'd need it. I like to keep my EDC very lightweight, and since I usually don't need much, I don't bring much. I may consider a bugout bag in events where I would need more gear, but that likely wouldn't be too useful given I am already in a rural area and don't leave my house particularly often.

I am 19, not 90. Used to be a "normal person" with tech stuff until recently. A lot of people (including my family) were hesitant about everything but they've seen my mental health improve a lot. The phone is an AGM M9, was about $40 on Amazon. Only works on T-Mobile in the US so I got lucky. It has no web browser, no app store, not even games like Snake. I'm happy with it though.

>>82706 Stop using your xbox and get a better computer.

I just carry my Pixel 6, a pack of Marlboro Reds, a lighter, some nicotine pouches, my rPi4 with pwnagotchi, my wallet and my headphones >>82706 It's a matter of self control, I neutered my Pixel to phone calls, music, a terminal for ssh and a calendar without crippling it to only be able to do that.

>>85522 I can bore you with the details but it'll go off topic. I'm doing what I can to find work and make side cash. Socially, I'm kind of a mess so it's difficult to be sociable when my prospects depend on it.

I normally just lurk websites like this and boards because I'm interested in coding and tech but I'm an absolute noob. But I think I can post something most would like

>>66869 i don't really leave my house but: >iPhone 11 (i don't really like newer phones but it does what i want it to) >rose gold Nintendo DS Lite >DS Case w/ a spare stylus (which somehow is the wrong color), and a few games, including but not limited to New Super Mario Bros, Nintendogs, Super Mario Advance 3, Zoo Tycoon DS, and The Sims 2 Pets >Gold Bond 2% Colloidial oatmeal (for my chronic eczema) >big and bulky pink cat wallet that i honestly don't like >flonase >keys + los pollos hermanos keychain i'd like to own some form of self-defense but i don't have any money.

>>85595 >$200 phone >$50 dollar toy tricked out with another 50 dollars of bling >Id like to have a gun or knife or something something but im too poor what

>>85595 >rose gold DS lite That's really cool. Nice selection of titles too. As for self defense, you could always make a club or something. Even a kitchen knife is better than nothing.

What's a good, medium-sized victorinox SAK? I'm leaning towards the Super Tinker but can't find any in stock nearby. I think the Knife and the Scissors are going to be the most important modules. Anything else is just extra.

heh stupid anons, I used to work as a stash man and my pockets looked like this every day. (PHOTO FROM THE INTERNET) I quit, no need to de-anonymize

>>85595 >i'd like to own some form of self-defense but i don't have any money. folding knife <10$ pepper spray can be had for <10$ a reliable handgun can be had for <350$ >>86174 you should share stories in /drug/ >>66869 (OP) >pepper spray (usually a gel-one since i live in a windy place) >folding knife >wallet with cash >keys >bicycle sometimes no gun because leftist gun laws, moving someday...

>>86174 Where exactly do you hide these, boi?

>>86178 If you mean the places where I hide the stuff, then well, everywhere, under the trees, on the windowsills, etc. But if you mean from my family, then I simply didn't hide it, I had a semi-secret pocket in my backpack, no one usually noticed it

>>85693 >medium size SAK Super tinker, climber and compact are probably the best options for a medium sized SAK since most of the extra functions except the multipurpose hook (very convenient for remounting bicycle chains that fall off one of the sprockets while shifting) are a meme. Quite frankly I use my little Minichamp (specifically the pen, scissors and surgical blade) far more often at work or in the bush than even my fixed blade.

>>86174 thats a lot of couscous

>>67847 How's Vostok working for you? I have some soviet mechanical watches from my grandpa (from 60s/70s) and they are very hit or miss; some of them work within +-2s per day and some have 10 mins per day (all of the serviced by the same guy that worked on them back in the day). I wonder if russian qc is any better than soviet.

>>86734 USSR watches much better then Russia ones. It applys to all us country do.

Watches are just soykaf trinket. You can always see the time at your phone, and so your watch is unneeded, you can be free of trinkets like rings, watches, earrings, wristbands, body crosses and so on. You are not a cow to have them strapped.

>>88528 >carrying a tracking device ("phone") Never going to make it

>>88528 >You can always see the time at your phone if you're worried about the time, you're already in the system's pocket, whether or not you carry its tracking devices in yours

I carry neither a phone nor a watch knife though very knife

>>88532 I carry a watch because the ticking sound is relaxing to listen to and it's like artwork because I can admire the mechanical intricacies. The fact that it tells time is just a bonus so I can coordinate things with my friends.

I just set up cron to call beep once a minute.

>>88535 You don't have friends

>>88587 Just because they only exist in my head, doesn't mean they aren't real

>>88588 Interesting set of items I must say. Out of curiosity,what the hell do you use a ball bearing for? Also any recommendations for a starter butterfly knife? They look so cool. >>88528 A watch is much more than a device that tells you the time. Sorry you can't see that. They are marvels of engineering ,they are a symbol,they are a fashion statement,they are a useful tool. Also carrying a phone around 24/7? No thanks.

>>88598 >Lain doesn't know about the banana cage >>88597 Although the picture is ironic, I know people who carry them either because they use them at work and just have those among other odds and ends in their pockets (I sometimes have random pocket hardware), or because they don't want to look like a sperg with one of those autism spinner toys that every fedoralord had 5 years ago. >Also any recommendations for a starter butterfly knife? They look so cool. Get a butterfly knife trainer with a dull edge to practice with, make a decision once you learn how to not slice the fuarrrk out of your hands like a pleb, since it's like a zippo where you use it more for tricks to keep you occupied and impress women than you do actually using it for what it's for. Also I think I should mention they may be illegal in your country or state

>>88532 I agree. The only time you need to be concerned about time is when you're too poor to rebook your flights. Poors probably shouldn't be flying because interchangeable economic units don't need to travel outside their designated plantat- I mean employement zone, let alone to nature when they can just use a video game with a DRM launcher to simulate going for a hike.

>>81451 your phone stickers r so cute ^_^

iphone, umbrella, pen, notebook, wallet, handsanitizer, lotion, small cloth, loops (I hate loud noise), and chapstick. I'm thinking of adding a pocket gun and getting a flip phone instead of the iphone. Maybe a beretta 30x tomcat

>>90064 damn brother where do you live you need a beretta for everyday life?

>>90065 high crime hell hole where I hear gun shots pretty much every night. everyone I know has been mugged. I myself have been car-jacked at gun point. I want to move, but just lost my job lol

>>88588 what the fuarrrk are you gonna do with a banana?

>>90077 >easy snack >quick deploy slipping hazard >useful to make banana bread >banana phone its actually one of the best things to keep in your edc

>>75790 >You can't take out an entire block every time le terrorists decide to meet up there You can if you're Israel

>>73381 > a combat pistol what the fuarrrk is a combat pistol? Any pistol that isn't a target pistol?

>>66990 Safe to assume people who carry guns aren't going to tell you where, but they're prolly US. >>90213 The have boots on the ground in Gaza. You don't know anything.

>>90412 Look up "Israel blows up apartment building in Gaza" and refute every single example you find.

>>90214 i'm guessing a combat pistol is something with a rifled barrel instead of smoothbore, so you don't miss the guy entirely and hit your neighbour's dog. maybe something like an older glock with an auto switch and bigger mag.

>>90077 what are you gonna do with banana? I'm glad you asked. others have provided usecases, I have a few more to add >sex toy >source of potassium >self defense against forced draft officers, may or may not include above usecases

>>90214 A combat pistol is designed for military use, built to military engineering standards, with loose tolerances and easy logistical support, mainly for combat. Unlike a target pistol, which is designed for ergonomics. The difference being the Glock vs the Walther GSP, a very classic /cyb/ gun for example. >>90064 You're umbrella a cute. Get a beretta pico to match your pen.

>>67004 My imco triplex 6700 completely loses fluid after about 3/4 weeks of light use. Refueling is easy and quick though and it performs way better than a regular bic, the windshield on it works well.

>>76258 >1. Don't be a sissy, and 2. Don't be a bully. This is the most important thing. If a group of people is planning to rob someone your goal should be to be the "what for?" non-target. Too weak and you're just a free phone wallet and shoes. Too much of a cunt and they're probably beating you up out of principle. Ironically this is also why concealed carry is good. A bully you shoot from afar because they're for sure carrying and will shoot. A sissy wont be using it even if they have it. Is a random guy carrying? Maybe. Will he shoot me? Maybe. Will I risk it? fuarrrk no. What for?

>>71600 yea Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA! all the good music in the world in 16kbps

What is the F-91W of analog watches? I love its pure utilitarianism. It's cheap and ubiquitous - if it breaks, I can get a new one the same day. But it won't. It's dead easy to service and modify. I'm also the type of edgelord amused by its usage in terrorism, and how just possessing it has been used as evidence in some cases. It's the most cyberpunk watch. Alas, I want to switch to an analog watch. What do, lain?

>>91430 probably MQ-24-1E, or the timex expedition

>>67044 when you get raped by niggers dont come crying when the cops dont do soykaf about it dumb white glitterboy

>>71246 yes. the people operating the drones and those who give orders to these people have addresses, and families that have physiological and psychosocial needs in order to thrive/survive
