the first and formost thing to becoming a MiniMac is to get the right tools.
most things are light and cheap.
1. a plier multitool= either a gerber, leatherman or SOG multitool, the others are to cheap and break with a simple task. (i use a leatherman juice s2... the only one without a worthless quark screw.)
2. A good (pocket) knife= now i dont mean a $500 knife but a good one. buck, gerber, SOG, or Kershaw, or the traditional swiss army knife. Now a good base is to check the metel content and how solid the knife is. I have had good luck with bucks like the Pilot wich is like 13 bucks from cabelas. I say away from the swiss army beacuse they lose a edge fast, also the pocket clip on other knifes are nice.
3. random strps of metel= this is pretty much a option but i keep small allen wrenches and some strips of metel for .....lockpicking..... (dont think less of me i use it only for good) and i have some wound thin wire.

keep selling until I earn 2000 Pesos
hav 2 earn 2800Pesos to counteract the cost of paying for the ingredients
and cups
sell one for 25 pesos = 0.50 US$
so I need about, say...........
112 cups. 50 Pesos is to much for most people around here, 25 should do
and I only have a few weeks, so I better get going
but I still have no idea wer 2 get an assistant................
oh ya my friend is just around the block so he'll set up a separate station
so we can cover more ground
and his reward, stuff to do ( he dosn't have many stuff to do this summer )
ENGLISH: 10 pesos only, my friend. It is too powerful, can put a hole in my diamond-made wallet.....
Just joking in the banana part.
But I still know you! Your website is http://bignclever.mine.nu and that site never gets updated! People joke around in your class that they don't understand you (like they say, "speak English"! And you have 42 classmates. You're the science type!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I know you and I will follow you around in CS* until I do nothing to you!! Nothing!!!!!!!!
I bet you'll figure it out soon enough, and when you do tell me your YM!!!
To other readers, you know what * means......
You will see differences in the Edge Holding, Ability to take a finner edge, and Durability(like handles that don't break). Let me give you a good example.
My knife, a Benchmade Monochrome, will take a decent edge and hold it. It's blade is stainless steel and will almost never have a problem with rust. However, a Opinel knife, for example, will take a razors edge, but if will rust at the thought of water because it is carbon steel. They also knife also differ in locking methods and handle materials.
I could go on and on for ever but I think you get it.
Could you please add some pictures and instructions as to how to accomplish the ideas you presented? You've got me wanting to learn more! :0)
We used them on everything (DH & I). We still do. I have a few holding the outflow pipe from my washing machine to the pipe that takes overflow and drain because I have a heavy-duty front loader washer (with dryer) set. It prevents the force of the water from pushing the washer pipe out of the slot from sheer force over time.
It holds computer cords together for desktops although I'd gather then loosely b/c you're more apt to cut the wires than the tie wraps when attempting to remove the tie wrap at a later date if planning to move the computer or the cords.
Duct tape is a staple in this house along with tie wraps, black electrical tape, shrink boot (also known as shrink wrap: it's a black tubing that when exposed to a heat source like a heat gun or portable torch will shrink around cable or wires or anything you wish to water proof or hold together. We used it in CATV when repairing cable lines until a new line could be laid replacing the cut line when a piece got cut.)
Oh, and the ONLY flashlights we use are Mag Lights. Of course we have various sizes from key chain size to ones big enough to shine light on the undercarriage of a car or truck but they always work, rarely break, and you can literally drive over one without bending or breaking it!
e.g. from ultralight to space shuttle or probably an SR-21 blackbird(and yes i love FSX)
