The laws regarding knives here can be a bit vague at times and I'm wondering if knives like this

Or this

Would be considered illegal? The top one is assisted and deploys in a way that seems like a switchblade and the bottom one can be opened with one hand thanks to the knob. I am not sure if they would be viewed any differently than a pocket knife because they use utility blades making it a bit more obvious that they are a tool.

I'd like to have each page a 1/4 the size of a regular piece of paper, in a booklet style, printing on the front and back, and have 4 pages per page one side of piece of paper.

That way I can cut the page in half and minimize the amount of paper I use while making a quarter page size booklet I can keep in my pocket.

It's a bit of a long story but someone tried using spray foam to fill the hole around where my sink's plumbing goes through and it seems like it essentially expanded too much and causing the paint to tear.

I was thinking maybe I could get some rigid insulation cut it to size, stick it in there, and spackle over it followed by painting it. I would probably cut the rest of the paint to the top because it looks as if it is going to tear eventually and it's at an angle.

Any suggestions?

The gap is close to an inch in size.

I feel like it's not something you see very often here compared to other items like knives and fidget items.

I have a JEYI 2230 NVMe case with a 1TB drive I keep on my keychain for backups of things that would be annoying to lose like my AntennaPod stats

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn't think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really "feeling" anything.

I've been trying to recall a game I played briefly as a kid at a friends house.

I feel like it was similar in style to Settlers 4 with an isometric view, typical click and drag a square around who you want to control, and a focus on building and combat. What makes me think it wasn't Settlers 4 is I don't recall it having that kind of cartoon style and I vividly remember there being some kind of cheat code that would reveal the map.

The reason I say it's around 2006 was because I originally went to buy it in a Future Shop (a Canadian store that was bought by Best Buy) but my mom said I should get Civilizations 4 instead because she recalled my uncle talking about it.

Running GParted gives me an error that says

fsyncing/closing dev/sdb: input/output error

Using Gnome Disk Utility under the assessment section it says

Disk is OK, one bad sector

Clicking to format it to EXT4 I'm getting a message that says

Error formatting volume

Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device 'dev/SDB' (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Running sudo smartctl -a /dev/SDB I get a few messages that all say

... SCSI error badly formed scsi parameters

In terms of the physical side I've swapped out the SATA data and power cable with the same results.

Any suggestions?

Amazon has a decent return policy so I'm not incredibly concerned but if I can avoid that hassle it would nice.

I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won't upgrade me to it until I contact them. There's also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on one plan for an extended period of time.

Hope this is fine to post here. Not a screenshot but it cracked me up.

The title of the video is When a Parasocial Relationship Goes Too Far but I figured this was less clickbait.

I vaguely recall this happening as a joke in some form of media but all I'm getting are statistics about currency being contaminated with cocaine when searching for it online.

Edit: My dad wants to buy scuba equipment but doesn't know where to buy it or what size he is for a lot of it so I was going to write "For scuba equipment not for drugs" on one of the bills as a joke for his Christmas present.

Was not that spicy. 5/10
