Americans that go out of their way to use British words are insufferable so I'm not surprised he refers to a flashlight as a "torch"

Imagine the ammount of hours that guy spent admiring his get-up in his parents' bedroom mirror. *slowly turns to the side to judge the angle of the torch digging into his t-shirt* "Yeah, neat, real neat, oh yeah". *aligns the belt buckle again*

What always got me is that he's got a Fluke network tester and a gun with a spare mag. Was he expecting the network closet to attack him? Have to magdump to protect himself against marauding routers?

If he was every confronted by some, I dunno, server burglar they'd spin him around to give him a wedgie and find his gun. Then they'd give him a quick merciful death instead. I mean, I assume that's why it's there.

Not gonna lie, 13 yr old me would've thought that guy was loving cool as hell. I was 13 in 93 too and yeah, I probably also would have thought he was rad as hell. I was wondering if it was ironic based on the language used which seems like someone ripped of a Shadowrun sourcebook and the fact that I think nearly everything he has can be done on my smartphone now.

I remember there being another magazine coverage from the 90's with an entire line-up of "futuristic" guys like that. They were actual irl people though that walked around dressed like that every day "paving the way to the future against the mainsteam" or something along those lines. I remember one picture of the whole group on a hill, somebody must know what I'm talking about, I have no idea what term to search to find it.

AliExpress has a pest control section. I guess when you have a reputation for selling toxic poo poo you may as well capitalize on it, right?  spog posted:What always got me is that he's got a Fluke network tester and a gun with a spare mag. I can't remember if it was that NASA janitor or another dude but I remember one of those EDC goons was finally living out his wet dream of being in a position where he could legally shoot someone and his expensive future gun just jammed on him.
