First, TLDR all of this thread. Knives like that were popular a long time ago but, weren't really practical to the vast majority of people that bought them. Even if given one, I'm not sure what I would do with it personally as I have much better tools for the jobs it could do (meaning legal...

I got this one from Amazon for $26USD plus tax: INIU Portable Charger, 22.5W 20000mAh USB C in & Out Power Bank Fast Charging, PD 3.0+QC 4.0 LED A little bulky overall but a really good unit at a modest cost from Amazon. It has a lot of functionality that isn't really needed so, a simpler one...

Your best option is probably going to be a good quality Velcro with the fuzzy side glued to the back of your solar panels and the "sticker" side on your backpack either on Molle or possibly sewn onto your backpack. In fairness though, the size of those panels probably won't provide much power...

Common sense on the other side of the Atlantic isn't very common either.

Congratulations! I hope they serve you well.

The 6ft-lb rule on airguns in the UK and a lot of Europe always seemed ridiculous to me, especially since a lot of the 25~35ft-lb air rifles were made there! There is a lot of need for things like that in more rural parts of the UK which seems to be possible with some licensing but, that is...

Happens due to chance? Sorry but, while I agree hardened career criminals aren't that way at birth but, there is a marked difference between a teenager shoplifting and doing similar petty stuff that is easy to intercept to work with so they don't move onto harder crime. Some people can't be...

Wow! That is really surprising. Laws for public safety that haven't really impacted those meaning to do harm while impacting average people in everyday life.

Don't make the Data Brokers jobs easier! Keep your private information private!

When guns were banned, didn't knife murders increase? Then various knife laws were enacted to deal with that too? I dare say, someone who is willing to murder someone else isn't going to be deterred by a law against having a knife. Sure, you may catch a few people before they murder someone...

The Uni Power Tank Ballpoint Pen has proven to be a winner for me for pocket carry.

I disagree generally with most bans. What you are alluding to is what happened in the USA when President Bill Clinton signed the Assault Gun Ban into law. After much rejoicing about no more bayonet lugs and flash suppressors, guess what? 5 seconds with a Hacksaw and Wrench, and a new butt...

I used the Purina (dog food company) Breed Selector in the beginning to find the right dog breed for me at the time. Later, I believe it moved to Animal Planet TV. What I learned was a Belgian Mellanois was a bad choice for me at the time. The German Shepherd had the personality and physical...

I'm not trying to insult anyone here in this forum. If you are from one of the abhorrent groups, that is a different topic and further discussion doesn't belong here. Thankfully most of the bad things I alluded to are bad things of the past! If you are a sympathizer for one of those abhorrent...

That looks like a Pico refill to me. Take it to a good stationary store and compare it to other similar refills from the popular brands. That's the best way for me to find a random pen refill.

Yes, as I alluded to in my comment about Cocker Spaniels. I am not saying users here are haters but, those banning entire breed populations are. If they can ban your dog breed, they can ban mine! The one most common in the USA is similar to the Michael Vick (famous USA football player) case...

In terms of the dogma used to justify banning dogs: I find the arguments used in dog bans to be generally similar to those used during segregation and "Jim Crow" laws in the Southern USA or, various countries' attempts to stamp out Native cultures; thinking of you Canada and USA. The tropes...

People should be responsible for their dogs no matter the breed. If the owner has a breed they can't control, they should adopt the dog out or send it to a shelter so it doesn't become a problem. If the owner doesn't have the time or skill to socialize and train a dog, they should not own one...

How much of the XL Bullies issue is related to the owner's lack of socialization of their dog and general training and treatment? Seems very similar to the Pit Bull hysteria in some cities in the USA. If your "pet" really can't be socialized and trained, perhaps it needs to be put down, or at...

Sorry but, I disagree with that. Something like a Sporting Cocker Spaniel and a house pet Cocker Spaniel would fall under the same breed restriction if they were banned. Both appear to be similar but, their personalities and drives are substantially different. My German Shepherd was banned in...
