I also do this.

It wasn't fun however when one of the companies I transact with required me to answer one of the questions over the phone as a means of authentication.

I could tell the customer service guy was just as tired when I finally finished responding. :)

Just beware of their reclamation policy:

I'd say more likely to be able to declare a capital loss on taxes.

The US seems to have this weird obsession with SMS and iMessage.

I don't see any fundamental difference in this context. A group of individuals pay into a communal fund and access it when in need.

Some take more than others, but everyone has a safety net to access.

You could argue about premiums and co-pays but the model is the same. The only difference is whether it is taken out of taxes or paid directly.

I apologise if we are approaching this from different viewpoints and I am not understanding properly.

Thanks so much for conveying your experience. Exactly what I was after.

I'm quite happy with my Rockwell but that won't stop me from trying something else. I'll give the Henson a go.

Insurance is a scam

I currently have a Rockwell Adjustable Model T; used to have a Merkur Heavy(?).

I'm curious of any converts to this model from other razors and thoughts.

I'm assuming you're in the US.

Do non profit or cooperative insurance companies exist? They would seem like a less evil option if available.

I'll just go cancel my universal health care now.

This is an unfortunate hypothesis for Heath Ledger.

I'm confused. I've been using shellcheck for many years. What's the point of controversy here?

I'm curious as to thoughts regarding documenting intent which cross over with what in my opinion.

Regarding self documenting: I agree, but I also think that means potentially using 5 lines when 1 would do if it makes maintenance more straightforward. This crazy perl one liner makes perfect sense today but not in 3 years.

They also seem to mostly navigate on the same 2D plane of space, given the ships usually encounter each other the "right way up".

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I appreciate the info, but I am not a patient man. :)

Where on earth are you buying HP Mini machines for so cheap? Even the older gen seem to be 5 times as expensive as your estimate.

I meant it as an underreaction.

I don't agree with aggressive punishments beyond reasonable but 3 months seems ludicrously low and not enough in isolation or otherwise for the offences at hand.

I usually find this sort of sensational reporting to be abhorrent; P platers are an easy target for the media.

However, a 3 month suspension of licence seems disproportionate for the multiple offences.

As other comments have alluded to, a sharpening stone is a far better investment and only takes a half hour to learn.

Even if you do a bad job it'll likely be a better result and better for your knives. Most sharpeners absolutely destroy knives and take far too much material off.

1000 grit is a good place to start.
