    People who care about quality items. They're not the only company to make expensive screwdrivers.
    You clearly have no grasp of how much it actually costs to bring products to market, especially in small batches.
    Perhaps you should educate yourself a little more before spouting disinformation.

    Got a discount code for being a YouTube supporter. Figured may as well have another screwdriver & then a bunch of bits & a JerryRig knife because why not.

    Virus__ reacted to AamirA in 1st time buying - is this normal?   
    A good rule of thumb when ordering from lttstore.com is to buy it, then completely forget about it. Make sure you're ok not seeing it for a month or more.  Don't even look at the shipping updates. It will come eventually. Trust me, when it does come, you will be very excited.

    Virus__ reacted to Visulg in Linus's remarks on Twitter in the past couple months couldn't be more wrong   
    I have been a big fan of Linus and the team since the begining. Even before the Langly house. I remember the day Linus painted his home garage as a set  background. I even go back and watch old LTT and CSF videos for fun and it's also pretty nostalgic for me. 
     
    I have adored Linus's takes on pretty much anything and he has been right most of the time or have been transparent/logical about his remarks otherwise.
     
    Although i have to argue the recent remarks that linus had been delivering in the past few months about Elon and the twitter acquisition has made me realise that Linus has changed his approach when covering main stream news events. He has become a product of the media propaganda machine that he despised at the early days. 
     
    Its funny that i first discovered Tesla/Elon from wan show back in the day around 2012 or so, when WAN show covered the model S safety demonstration video where it showcased that the roof of the car was so strong that you could stack 5 model s on top of each other before the roof of the bottom most models collapses. And I am forever great full for Linus and LMG for all the entertainment and information that its brought to me over the years. 
     
    But the way Linus has become an Elon hater or Twitter hater without seeking beyond what mainstream media has put out has been shocking to me. It begs the question if Linus is wrong about this what else is he wrong about. 
     
    It has been heartbreaking for me to part ways with one of my favourite creators and see them follow the mainstream media propaganda. And I have tried to forget about the whole thing and just keep an open mind and give linus the benifit of the doubt about what he is saying. But Linus keeps digging and he doesn't seem to stop or try to understand whats really going on. 
     
    I sincerely hope linus would open his eyes sooner than later and realise he has been wrong about the whole twitter/elon saga and make things right. 
     
    This is my first post ever and hope i have not stepped out of my bounds or the forum post guidelines and whatnot. Have a great day guys. 
     
    Will respond to meaningful and constructive comments. Thanks 😊

    If you can get them, try hickory sticks. (The potato snack, not actual sticks off hickory trees.)

    New fridge for the old man. He's still in hospital, so mum & I made the executive decision to upgrade his fridge for him whilst he is away. Will use about 1/3 the power over his old one, better suited for him too being in a wheelchair to access the fridge. It's a nice fridge, and it's also nice to have something brand new with decent warranty.

    It might be a cool idea but in the meantime have you tried Bunnings Umbrellas? They have been the most reliable umbrellas I've used. Parents have some old ones that are over 10 years old IIRC.

    Virus__ reacted to Inception9269 in Linus is kind of a hypocrite in his last WAN show. Really MINT MOBILE?   
    The LTTStore plugins also annoyed me a lot in the beginning, but it has become something that's basically a meme by this point. I get that they get a ton of money from it and they're dependent on that.
     
    Their merch is pretty damn over priced. Especially those screwdrivers of theirs. Like hell I'm gonna spend $90 on a single screwdriver.

    Yeah. It was a more monotone colour the other day. I'll probably change my mind & change it back to that tomorrow. But I rarely see my desktop though.

    I would assume so, as it comes in all the same sizes. I never bought a Northern Lights one, as it was a bit too colourful for my use.
