Amazon Music is giving my squirrels a hard time. The music is skipping at standard quality. I know there's only 8GB or memory in this thing, but really. I'd throw some new ECC RAM in, but then I'd just have to pull it out again in a few weeks. I could just fire up the old Z77 system, but I'm waiting for Powercolor to respond to my RMA request before I do anything drastic. Besides, that box has the same CPU in it, so the difference would not be major.

Recently went to Menards to get a pocket knife that's actually street-legal for the city of Chicago (2.5" blade length maximum.) Here's what I picked out.
So far, I'm actually happy with it. It seems sharp, it opens and closes pretty easily. And the blade is short enough for the city at 2 1/8".

Guinness stout. Not a favorite, but it has to be drunk or thrown sooner or later.

Maybe you should use a blender next time.

What do you use a pocket knife for? I've got a cheap Swiss army type knife I carry because of my handicap. Useful, but hardly essential.
Damned near everything. I’m amazed that people who don’t carry pocket knives manage to get anything done.

I can't imagine life without a pocket knife. Truly a universal tool. Swiss Army is the way to go. I was walking the dog this morning and she was drifting around. I almost tripped on her, and jammed the back of my hand into a neighbor's cactus. I must've got 50+ spines stuck in me.

I managed to pluck most with my fingers, but one broke off short and I had to use tweezers. Took three tries, and the third tweeze was from my SA knife.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
