Check your local laws on carrying pepper spray. If legal buy two cans, one to test with so you understand the force needed to fire it and the spray pattern. Be prepared to spray and run.

I once went to Stuttgart pretty much just for their store. They have some in europe but very few and far between unfortunately.

Poor rural Dallas. Maybe I'll take a chance on a pair from their website someday.

The Calfornian transplants brought everything else with them to Texas but I guess they left their Uniqlos back home.

Get some mace dude. My policy is never use something for self defense that I wouldn't be okay with being taken away and used on me. Although honestly I'd rather get shot than stabbed.

If you wanted a self defense knife you should have went for an Emerson anyway. Those knives open as you pull it out of your pocket. An auto like the Ultratech still requires you to take it out, then deploy the button, before you can stab someone.

Make sure you stab yourself before using it on others so you know how much stabbing to do if, God forbid, you end up having to defend yourself by stabbing someone.

I carry a pocketknife and if I ever have to bust it out as a weapon I can only imagine how hosed I would have to be.

It's pepper spray and run, or pepper spray, kick them in the nads and run or a combination or all three god I don't know. I've had to get my spray out and point it at someone a few times now and was relieved that it was enough to end the confrontation. I'm not looking to end up on YouTube.

Much like on bears, mace works better against humans than knives or guns.


Further testing is needed on frying pans.

Yamaha P45 digital piano. Im new to the instrument and this one came well recommended for beginners. Got a decent stand, stool and sustain as well.


AKG K240 Studios. For playing at night. Decent enough for listening to the same piano bits over and over.


Flowkey subscription. Unimpressive song list and the audio recognition stinks, but the lessons are decent and it's doing a good job of getting me back into sheet music.

Used to be very strong, and I've done years and years of martial arts, but nowadays i avoid fighting like the plague. This makes me feel better and that's the whole point, i know very well that knives are more dangerous for me in the long run, but am having a hard time bringing myself to the point of getting a gun. Thanks for the input everyone, it's more retail therapy than anything.

I keep all my frying pans indoors. So any time I'd have one handy for a fight, I'd be inside my best defense already: a house.

e: I didn't buy a house though, sorry.
