that PS style is great. i had the knifeless version and security in jamaica took it away from me when i was trying to get on a plane. pretty sure it didnt violate any rules, i bet they pocketed it.

Yeah supposedly they're TSA compliant, but unfortunately that doesn't mean much - even to the TSA

Sorry yours got nicked :(

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol I said that to the Jamaican airport security and they were like "we're not TSA"

And I'm like yeah but if they let it through why wouldn't you and then I got a look so I was like ok enjoy it.

Never got a replacement really. I use a niteize keychain flat tool now. https://niteize.com/doohickeyr-key-tool

It's less threatening I suppose and no one has complained yet

[–] wren@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Ugh that's rotten. Niteize products are a decent substitute though!

Which one is the goatse looking thing?

[–] wren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You might have to be a little more specific there, bud. Do you mean the one with the rainbow bands? That's the only one I can think fits. If so, it's the floppylinksfidget fidget

[–] bbigras@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah the rainbow rings thing. Thanks!

What is the blue string with sliver beads?

[–] wren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

A skill toy called begleri

How does the pen feel? I’ve been seeing some mixed reviews on the mechanism.

[–] wren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like it! I was hesitant to get it, due to those reviews of the mech failing. But I've carried this every day since getting it back in December, and it's shown no signs of wear or failing. I've dropped it a lot, and I'm constantly fidgeting it with, clicking and unclicking it and it's still just as solid as day one. I have their side click pen too, and I heavily prefer the side click

Excellent. Thanks for the opinion :) I’ve carried a rotring 600 for a few years now and really like the slimness. It’s hard to find another comparable.

You have lot of good post on edc, was wondering if you have a recommended travel sling? I usually carry a coin rotary dispenser, keys, mobile hotspot, wallet and my phone in my pocket. However the hotspot tends to get scratched either by the keys or depsenser.

You might like something from Alpaka! They’ve quite a few options and their stuff is always quality
