Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word?

I make knives now, too. Why not buy one at flightlessforge.com?

  • That’s not the issue. If it were confined to just the adult ones, anyway, it’d be little harm and no foul. The problem is these twerps also don’t vaccinate their kids, who have no say in the decision making process, and die of easily preventable diseases. The antivax crowd themselves also become disease carrying vectors putting those who can’t be vaccinated at risk, i.e. immunocompromised people.

    If said morons contained themselves in their own cabins in the woods without coming into contact with the public it likewise would not be a problem, but inevitably you find them coughing all over everybody else at Walmart instead.











  • I freed up a couple of spare brain cells on that sort of thing back in the day once it was discovered around the schoolyard that Windows 95 (in addition to Office and a couple of other M$ products) would happily accept a CD key of all ones: 111-1111111. I don’t think this was applicable to the OEM versions, though. Windows 98 meanwhile would take a key of 12345-12345-12345, etc.

    I still have the Windows 2000 MSDN CD key memorized. From XP onwards, the… alternative… activation methods did not require knowing license keys anymore.

    One wonders what it was like to be a member of mankind in an era when all you had to memorize was actually useful information.







  • Based on your usage of 911 I assume you are in the US. Therefore: Never answer your door for the police if they do not have a warrant and sure as hell never invite them inside for any reason whatsoever. They are there to attempt to get you for a crime, any crime, and letting them inside provides them ample opportunity to make one up even if you have done nothing wrong. They are not there to help you.

    Your aluminum foil is none of anyone’s business, no matter what it “looks like.” The cops can go kick rocks.

    Do not talk to the police. Do not talk to the police. For good measure, do not talk to the police.
