  • Because of what I EDC (literally, just what I listed before, plus keys, phone, wallet, paper and pen), the toolbag at my work, and its contents, stays in my employee locker for weeks at a time. I did forget to mention a 4.5, maybe 5 inch folding pocket-knife, whict I use for … let’s say kiosks/“atm”/point-of-sale/arcade/digital signage repair … more than you, or even I when I threw it in the bag on a whim, might expect.

    Other than a pump, I’m not sure where my EDC falls short for biking, although I do also have a torque-wrench, metric impact socket-set, a couple large Crescent Wrenches, plus the normal oem-kit I keep in my SUV (unrelated, but plus my family’s roller-skates, swim-suits, sweaters, climbing gear, cargo-straps and towing stuff). That car is also the over-flow for stuff I don’t usually use in the garage or have too many of though. I actually despise all but the beefiest Crescent wrenches.













  • The only hope I see in it is the idea that humans will survive, and even a few of them will still mean well/have morals, ethics, sincerity, conscience, or any self-awareness … things that make the continuation of the species something resembling a good or even okay outcome, as opposed to an outright blight upon the universe.

    The amount of suffering portrayed is of little consequence to this, as we have plenty of suffering historically and in the now. Very, very few of those suffering the worst seem to prefer not existing, outside of the affluent countries, and I don’t accept value judgements on such things from any but the first-person perspective.
