I spend a lot of time browsing & using it for entertainment, so a great display is everything. I also want to get back into home recording / mixing. Six years is a minimum expectation, and I'd be keeping my Lenovo of about that age if the case wasn't falling apart completely (POS all in one which is just a bad idea all around). AMOLED 15" touchscreen (no stupid 360 tablet mode though), 512 GB SSD, 16GB RAM, up to date Core i7, Windows 11 home (I get free licensing for MS office and the full Adobe suite, with photoshop, audio studio, video processor, illustrator, at home through work). Not made in China. It was a good BF sale plus 10% gov.t employee discount that put me over the edge. Charging now while I have some boozy coffee.

I couldn't manage a good picture of the fillings. Had onions, tomatoes, and a satisfactory amount of cilantro. And the house made sauce was nicely thick and hot tonight (it can vary).

no.

I remember placing it somewhere safe because I knew I was going to be crawling around under desks working on cable management and didn't want it falling out. Then I couldn't find it when it was time to leave.

I looked at tthis pile numerous times and didn't see it.





camo I guess.

Looks tasty, I'd eat it, but first I'd want to know WTF neeps are. Look like a root veg of some kind?

For that price, and S90V, I figured it was worth it. Two PM2's, Maxamet and S90V, coated and uncoated, so I think that has them sufficiently covered.

Can't decide anymore! From now on I'm just going to grab the next one in the knife role for the following day. That will give me a 9 day rotation and keep them all in the pocket. Not like I work anymore anyway! Unless I decide to grab another brand. (It could happen!)

That's my guess. And the Spyderco bros may finally be exhausted by the endless sprints and exclusives.
