Awesome on mom! They were a lil pricy back in the day so I didn't get my own till a few years ago (after cutting open a damn cat toy package and having to go get stitches). Figured someone like Walmart or Amazon has to have them cheaper nowadays. And they did.
Out of context, this screenshot could make a lot of people curious to watch some Star Trek. Who then, may be very disappointed on what they thought they were gonna get.
And too many people try to hand over ambi/lefty Grip scissors and think they are the same. I've tried to explain the blade flip to other people who look at me like I'm insane or try to explain back to me how it's impossible.
If I hadn't gone to an awesome elementary school with an overstocked art room I would have never encountered them. They even had little blunted ones for kids, but it was the 80's so we used the sharps anyway.
I squirrel away things I find through the year to ease my winter burden. The hard part for me is not giving the things right away so I don't have to go buy something else. My SO especially has a hard time remembering that that gift in June WAS Xmas, so no, we are not spending bunches of money on whatever it is you want now. When we hit the lottery, then we can do both.
"In a battle or emergency, where the survival of the vessel (or other protected asset) is dependent upon the continued operation of the equipment, it is sometimes wiser to risk equipment damage than have the equipment shut down when it is needed. For example, the electrical drives to elevate and traverse the guns of a combat warship may have "battleshort" fuses, which are simply copper bars of the correct size to fit the fuse holders, as failure to return fire in a combat situation is a greater threat to the ship and crew than damaging or overheating the electrical motors."
