What annoys the ***** outta you/pisses you off...

My hand annoys the f*ck out of me. It's legitimately hell. Hand skin splits open due to autoimmune problems, hand and fingers swollen, especially fingers. If anyone wonders what I mean when I say I'm sick and can't box design, this is one of the more obvious reasons why:

Looks like some of the road rash I had when I went down on one of my old bikes.

That blows. Autoimmune diseases ****. Kinda crazy how many diseases are actually our immune systems turning against us.
 
I sent my CASE Sodbuster Jr in for a warranty issue (manufacturer defect) and they send my knife back with less blade and the original problem still exist. On this knife the spine is a double ended spring (a bar). In the middle is a hump where a rivet goes through the spring. Well, the blade hits this hump when closed and dents the blade on the blade edge. Rolls the edge right on over. So case had it for a month and a half and all they did was grind the blade down trying to grind it past where it contacted the hump and in doing so ground away my usable blade, scuffed the damascus removing some of the etch and still didn't fix the issue with the blade hitting the hump. Also, the ricasso was ground down from the factory which may add to the blade hitting the back spring. I contacted them again and they are sending me a postage paid mailer this time. I told them it's either a new blade or a voucher so I can go get a replacement. The voucher is one of their warranty options. This knife is no longer made and was a limited run.

This is random, but I get annoyed when people cut corners on their brakes. Do you truly want the cheapest, lowest-quality option to be in charge of stopping the vehicle you trust with your life?
 
Today is day #40 since Case sent me an email confirming they received my knife to be repaired or replaced under warranty. I have not heard one word from them. I emailed them on April 15th and got no replay. I just emailed them again today. I don't get some companies. It is simple, replace the blade or replace the knife. The decision should have been made within hours of receiving the knife for the second time. I wouldn't mind so much the amount of time if it were my $50 slimline trapper or my $70 medium stockman but this is a $200 bone handle, damascus blade, Sodbuster Jr.. There are only so many of them in the world and it makes me mad that they are lollygagging around with mine. I say only so many as in mine is 1 of 1,400 made. So, pretty rare.

“Rear fill”
I have mixed and mastered music for over 40 years.
Never once mixed using “rear fill”.
Some like the phased mess it makes and think it sounds good.
It doesn’t, and any sound engineer would say the same.
Just saying.

What "sounds good" is so subjective. You can have 100 people listen to stereo with perfect tonal reproduction and not get agreements on how it sounded 🤣

Personally I enjoy feeling like I'm in the middle of the Soundstage over it being in front of me
