Grabbed one of these cheap rear end cases for my phone and shimmied my license and bank card into it, so now when I leave the house I only need to grab one thing and it also protects the phone. It's nice, you should get one.

That's one way to look at it. To me it makes the phone hugely bulky and a single point of failure for loss. Phone got stolen? Your ID and debit card are gone too!

I could see how women would like it in place of a purse or something.

Actually on the knives it's not an LED screen, it's an engraved number on the blade like so

But yes, pay real money (not just american!) and then you get a tiny slim chance of getting a fake knife that tracks your body count. Each key is $2.50 so in the previous post when that guy says hes opened 100+ crates without a knife, he's saying he's spent around $250+ for nothing. Most guns you get are available for a few cents they are so common. Nice guns go for a few bucks. Stat tracked can get kind of pricey but only AWPs and Knives get insane.

Isn't it kind of stupid to have a constantly changing number be engraved on a knife? Wouldn't hash marks make a lot more sense?

Oakley Custom Racing Jacket, positive red iridium lenses, $205 in store.

I have one subjective and one objective complaint about this. Subjectively I think these look like poo poo. Objectively I cannot fathom why you would randomly cut out little bits of your expensive sunglass lenses, thereby making them worse at their one and only job, keeping out the sun. Plus not protecting your eyes from debris as well, and adding weak points to the lens.

I'm really curious to hear where you got the idea that adults use fountain pens. Probably less than .1% of the human population has ever or will ever use a fountain pen in their lives.

Guys instead of ripping off an artist because you saw something that woot fatigue put on his wall why not go to red bubble or society6 and buy some art so that some starving artist can eat and you can get something to put up on your cave wall.

Nicking an artist's work ain't cool

Actually though, it's very very cool to do that. I would download a car, as well.

Why the gently caress would you need a 40" TV for the bedroom?

I just got a bottle of Riesling, and it's delicious.

What year is it? I thought for a second you meant 40" was too small, and I'd almost agree. Big TVs are cheap as poo poo, and they don't even take up much room anymore. Might as well go big if you're going to use it frequently.

Are you trying to say that a cop won't be able to ticket you for doing something illegal if your motorcycle doesn't have plates? Because you'll probably just get towed and additional tickets.

Its a motorcycle-for-children (a moped), and its chained to the bike rack. No, they won't tow it, they'll just keep walking.

I'm curious what makes you say that. If the cops are officious enough to ticket a moped for being chained to a bike rack they'd probably pop you for not having plates in addition to the first ticket.

Unlike that other one, this one actually looks like it might be more worth $200

Would you spend $200 on a product whose official description reads "All star wars fan!! Get ready to mesmerize your style like a living legend. The special edition of Finn Leather Jacket worn by John Boyega from the movie "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is now made available at our store. So grab your hands on it."? I wouldn't, even if I really liked star wars.

Yeah that came up in the inspection. They're an asphalt-asbestos combo that were laid in the mid-'50s, but unless I'm dying to rip them up they're (allegedly) safe, according to the group that tested them. I think the floor's awesome though, I'll keep them until I can afford to safely remove them.

Thanks! I'm glad y'all like it. I don't have a picture of the kitchen and floor handy, but the floor and blue continued all the way into the living room. Even the ceiling was a light shade of blue (you can't tell in the photo because it's overshadowed by how blue the walls are), and painting it was a nightmare.

Here's the living room now.

I think it looks like the cafeteria for a regional government building. Your kitchen and living room look like a county DMV or perhaps the waiting room in the Dayton Ohio office of the department of transportation. In any case, if you ask me, it isn't a good look.

It's not such an extreme angle, but yeah, essentially it's just for extra melee damage in an emergency situation.
I work law enforcement, but a branch that doesn't carry a firearm, so that's why I keep one on my belt, on my non-dominant side.

if you're looking for "extra melee damage" there is a wand in the third dungeon that does a short range AOE on right click

I respect the 'expensive doctor's waiting room' aesthetic you've got going on but how can you chill out with a sofa like that? Sofa's should be big enough that you can lie down or slouch on them and get comfortable when you're deep into a Netflix binge. That thing looks like what you sit on when you're awkwardly waiting for your prom date to come downstairs while her parents make small talk with you.

To his credit, it does look like a great place to read the march issue of time magazine.

It's a kit to make an electronic die. If you tilt it it'll generate a random die roll and display it on the LEDs. I just kinda feel like doing some soldering and I could hypothetically get some use out of it. And it was $5 on sale so why not.

This seems like a good place to brag now that they've confirmed the ticket will be honored:

Business class from LAX to Bangkok for $620. Usually about $3000.

Lie-flat seats

Non-terrible food, free alcohol

Free food and alcohol in the airport lounge

This will be my first time flying anything but economy so I'm pretty loving psyched.

I'll be spending a month between Thailand and Vietnam, but that prospect is not quite as exciting as getting this fare while it was live.

How'd you get the flight for so cheap if I may ask?

It was a mistake on their part, the business class ticket was set to the economy price. Bloggers picked it up and I just happened to see it while it was live. It only lasted four or five hours before being fixed.

Mistake fares get canceled after the fact a lot, but this airline (hong kong airlines) is smaller and trying to break in to the US to Asia market. They officially announced they are going to honor the tickets on twitter. I guess they just chalked it up to a marketing cost or something.

It's truly amazing that rational athiest goons making a deece six figgies touching computers are so quick to believe absolute nonsense like "i don't sweat any more after not using deodorant". It is absolutely delusional, no different than the schizoid with the unshakable faith that God is telling him to strangle the neighbors cat, which is incidentally what you smell like, a dead cat.

Skipping a shower isn't going to hurt if you work a desk job and don't exercise in between but no loving amount of microdosed lsd is going to change the basic physiology that you loving reek if you don't use deodorant for weeks on end.
