What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)

This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

Is there any hope for me?
  • IQ does not define your destiny.

    I don't know what my IQ is. Nor do I care what it is.

    You sound smart enough to ask for advice. I don't think your IQ is as low. Let's go through some steps. You can type, read, write, use the Internet, figure out how to get on the fedi, realize you have an issue, and you asked for advice. That's more than 99% of people can do. My parents couldn't do what you did.

    I was once told a story about an IT worker. They got called by a doctor about their mouse not working. The IT person tries to troubleshoot the issue with no luck. They go over to the Doctor's work station. The Doctor is trash talking them. The IT guy looks at the computer and realizes the issue instantly. The mouse is upside down. (This is a true story)

    We are all smart in our own ways. We all have talents and gifts. What can you do well? And if you don't know that answer; ask your friends. Take inventory of yourself.

  • Is there any hope for me?
  • Hi. I hope my own experience can help you. I have a whole bunch of learning disabilities and very bad anxiety/panic issues. I graduated high school with a 5th grade reading level; and frankly I was pissed. No one should have fallen between the cracks as much as I did.

    I got stubborn and angry and I did something about it. I refused to let life just push me down and accept it. It's a bumpy, rocky, uphill climb. But you can do it.

    IQ doesn't mean crap. I encourage you to go out there. Walk outside. And be pissed off at everyone who told you that you were not good enough. Now imagine proving them wrong. Let that guide you a bit.

    Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. I've been in your shoes. It does 100% get better.

  • What are some strange SFW objects that can fit in the handle of a car door?

    My one friend and I have been leaving odd gifts on my friend's car with notes like "I think this fell out of your car" nothing of value. Nothing that can damage the vehicle.

    can I opt out of credit agencies?

    I never asked for a credit score. I don't use credit. They have made it very clear breach sfter breach that I don't want them to have my data. How do I remove myself from credit data agencies?

    What are some pod casts worth checking out and why?

    Quick edit. I had no idea pod casts were so popular. Thank you all for posting. I have a lot of content to check out.
