If you're patient, and buy exclusively at sales, REI gear is usually an decent deal for the quality when 25%-50% off. I’ve abused a number of REI bags and tents over past few years when camping with scouts, with no failures yet.

This. I’ve had a Benchmade 943 in my pocket every day for more than a decade, but still pack a multitool when camping. Had other knives prior, but kinda lost interest in anything new after getting the 943. Except when wearing a suit... stil

I had a conversation with a scammer claiming to be MSFT support, maybe 5-6 years back. It was clearly a cold call, not based on any PII, so I just toyed along for maybe a half hour until I started getting bored. We talked another 10 minutes

Whoa, I’d entirely forgotten about this. Hard to believe that almost 20 years have passed. It wiped an external drive filled with MP3s and other media. I still have a slight aversion to any spaces in partition/folder/file names.
