What's on your mind right now?

I wanted to see how the O-1 steel holds up compared to 1095CV and some random Chinese steel (440A/B equivalent) with a similar edge profile, as I did it with an old KA-BAR and MT-151 in the past all the same (relatively cheap to far cheaper with those two). O-1 doesn't handle it as well and chips out far more. Which I assumed would be the case, but you never know. I cleaned the edge up with a coarse diamond stone. Took about 2mm off the edge grind. I'll take it to a 1000 grit bench stone today to finish it. I guess I channeled my inner Cliff Stamp (RIP). I was happy there was no catastrophic failure though, i.e., it didn't snap. I may have beat on the spine with a rock too as I tried to baton through another rock.

I guess the powerful brand of Zyprexa may have made me care a little less.

Zyprexa will do that. I do admire your scientific interest and willingness to test.

I have been working on encapsulating my anxiety into a separate entity I can tell to f**k off when I see her coming.

Realizing I've been overeating for years now.
And wondering why I skip meals, why I have stomach issues sometimes. Why I have this mini fuss about left overs

And why I dislike eating.

It's this foolish culture growing up on a habit of cleaning the plate.
Never having to realize and choose how much is enough for me until recently -- and people worry too much or assuming I'm on some diet.

That the "normal serving" is actually unhealthy for me. All I actually need is half of that.

The fact that I have drank four half-bottles of Smirnoff Vodka in the past week, and that I have decided that will be the last bottle of vodka I will ever drink, until after the Ruskies & Putin get their comeuppance.

My city is almost out of supplies of Smirnoff Vodka & only supermarket brand Vodka is stored in shops now.

Vodka was always my favourite drink when I went out in bars from about the age of 18 until 20. As I have said before to people, I am not & have never been discriminatory, at least in intention.

If I ever discriminate, it is either satirical in nature, or to achieve a political objective.

But I truly believe that every human is equal in biology - perhaps the outcome of such a biological container is variable in success as per its environment & is inevitable, according to environmental conditioning of the biological container.

Work and future work.

Ha, yeah, Zyprexa is one of the more sedating medications on the market, and the generic brand I have is quite more potent than the other generic I was on (not as long lasting though). I can still function well enough, and that's the main thing. The ironic thing with this test is the cheap Chinese Trail Master copy (the exact same knife for all intents, just different steel), the MT-151 in some type of 440A/B stainless steel from a random Chinese steel factory, held up better with the same edge angle and finish. Likely due to having a lower hardness so the steel can withstand the impacts better (440A/B still has quite a lot of chromium carbides so at a higher hardness it probably won't do that well either). Harder tends to be good for holding the edge longer for slicing softer stuff, but doesn't withstand impacts as well due to lower toughness. This is a $30 knife compared to a $300 one. The lesson would be to go with the MT-151 if one is poor/smart and likes the Trail Master design for a larger outdoors knife (I'm not smart). Cliff Stamp found this with his MT-151 too in that it held up well when beating it through a brick.

I apparently have learnt to co-exist with my anxious self, or it consumed me. One or the other.

As for me, hmmm,

The duality of certain things. Regrets, but I've stopped dwelling there as much, as it's just a wishing well in the end and those pennies of pain bring you down to the bottom with them.

Choking Putin to death with my bare hands.

To simply maintain my overall health despite health issues.

Most e-mails I send go completely ignored. I guess I'm a person people would rather ignore.

My beard is resembling a bird's nest, and is in urgent need of a trim.

I wish you well, longshot, on your journey. That has been my daily charge for the past 25 years. Ironically, I’m making more progress these past few years when old age is taking over.

I got today a young (two years old) retired service dog; retired for complicated reasons. So sort of a rescue. Delivered by his human. Labradoodle. Chocolate. He knows how to do a lot of things, but has lost a lot of his training. I’m going to try to train him back up for some simple things. Not an official service dog, but my service dog, if that makes sense.

My SPED teacher says my mom didn't observed and studied my personality and my own case...

She's absolutely correct.

Add insult to injury, mom did nothing to gain my trust.
Affection, acceptance, attachment -- yes.
But confidence and connection? Not really.

Someone just showed me multiple examples of Eminem referring to being diagnosed with Asperger's. I guess that settles that discussion.

People tend not to care about treating you badly, but having their bad behavior pointed out.
