I can't see myself paying that kind of money just to say I have a Strider, there's waaaaaaaay more knives on my bucket list, and most are cheaper. The reviewer also said Strider's knives were the priciest and hardest to find. I had no idea who Mick Strider was but found it interesting that he would be included with Reeve and Hinderer. One of the YouTube knife reviewers claimed Chris Reeve, Rick Hinderer and Mick Strider were the "Big Three" as far as modern Tactical folders go. Just my humble opinion folks and your mileage may vary. Playing devil's advocate here for a moment:If you apply the logic of not buying one of his knives based on his past (mis)deeds then I guess you could say you will never buy a knife made in Japan or Germany because of what they did during World War 2 or the same reasoning for not buying any knife made in the People's Republic of China.Where do you draw the line? I could keep rambling but to me it would be pointless.As was stated above: TO EACH THEIR OWN! ![]() I too didn't read all 82 pages of the thread on Blade Forums and I doubt that I ever will bother to do so.I don't know Mick Strider(who picks a name like that anyway?)and probably wouldn't want to.Haven't seen any of his knives but the general consensus seems to be that they are good quality knives. To each their own, if they decide to buy, or not buy.or even support Strider Knives. I believe a person can change and become a viable asset to society.įurthermore.I have no doubt that Strider makes a GREAT knife, for it's very obvious his knives are selling very well. I don't know Strider's heart or mindset today, so I will not judge him harshly, as the BF forum thread does about his past. If it's not true, then he shouldn't use his military status of 11 months as a valid merchandising premise and seemingly 'make up stuff' to enhance his credentials. With that said the only thing that bothers me about Strider is.that he used his military background as a foundation for validating the making and selling of his knives. However, this all happened over 20 years ago and longer. All this alleged bad history of Strider (aka: Mickey Ray Burger) appears to be plausible and viable information. I didn't read all 82 pages of the thread at Bladeforums.just the first page alone provides enough information to draw from. Just yesterday, my brother and I were discussing Strider Knives and Strider's past history and how many are calling him out, and just as many are defending his status. Interesting timing regarding Strider and this thread. And your assessment that a Strider collector discovered said info, and after reading it sold his whole Strider collection now makes more sense than ever! Mark! I was completely unaware of the entire situation, so thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, I found the info quite interesting. The general opinion was that the knives themselves are quality pieces, but not so much regarding the builder's character. Everything I read was backed-up with documented proof, but as you said, each must make up their own mind as to it's validity. I did the search Rick, and it certainly produced some disturbing information regarding Mick Strider. I don’t recall reading any bad information about the knives themselves but I haven’t done any extensive research. One would have to form their own personal opinion but there’s no denying that the information is disturbing. Try doing a search for "Mick Strider Stolen Valor". Have a good evening everyone.I don't have any cold hard facts. That’s my rant, sorry it’s just so frustrating having terrible communication with this knife maker. Long story short I won’t support the Striders anymore and I should’ve listened to all the people in this awesome community. RMA# 1***”.you’ve got to be shitting me.Īt this point I’m not sure if I’ll ever see that knife again and if I just threw away 450 dollars. Strider! “Yes, please send it in and we’ll replace the blade. ![]() I checked my email today out of curiosity and wow an email response from Mrs. No responses to my multiple emails now asking if they’ve received and if there’s any updates on the knife. Sent it and a couple weeks go by and nothing.no email confirming they at least received just left in the dark but hey! They’re probably really busy and I’m being impatient! So another couple weeks go by and I finally email them asking if they’ve received it, I sent it in with my name, number, email, claim # and a $25 check for a defect on their knife and wait patiently. So I emailed Strider customer service and a week later they sent me a service claim # and said send it in. So I heard about the bad reputation Strider Knives has earned over the years but i thought, mehhh people exaggerate so I’ll still give them a try because their knives are awesome right?! Nah, bought a PT gen 3 and without ANY hard use and a chunk of blade mysteriously broke off right above the stop pin which apparently is a known defect.

Before I share my interpretation of the ending, consider the following points: After all, everyone “dies” in the finale and then all of a sudden, Tae Sul and Seo Hae are together on a plane holding hands. If you’ve watched Sisyphus The Myth, the vague ending probably left you wondering what happened. I’ll try to explain the ending as best I can based on actual events in the series. Okay so from hereon out, spoilers abound. It’s now a race between Sigma and Seo Hae + Tae Sul as to what will happen next. He joins Seo Hae in her quest to prevent the war.īut there is someone who wants the war to break out, a mysterious man known only as Sigma. Han Tae Sul is a wealthy genius who Seo Hae eventually falls in love with. For this, she has to find the creator of the time machine, Han Tae Sul. Seo Hae travels in time to 2020 to prevent the war from happening. She plays Kang Seo Hae, a twenty-something girl from the dark and dreary post-nuclear war future. Sisyphus The Myth stars Park Shin Hye in her most action-packed role yet. This is a vicious cycle that goes on forever. In Hades, Sisyphus has to push a boulder uphill only to have it roll back down when he reaches the top. This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. ![]() Sisyphus is a king in Greek Mythology who cheats death a few times in an attempt to escape his mortality. Before I proceed, let me just give a briefer about Sisyphus the man the title is based on.

Strauss can provide the player with important missions, including the mission where the player must investigate a disease spreading through the vampire ranks. Strauss provides several quests himself and important information on several more, but the player's choices ultimately dictate whether he remains an ally. He is one of the heads of the local Camarilla and the Primogen of the Tremere clan. He seems to have taken a liking to the player character and is also the only one siding with the player later on in the game when he/she is in peril, and is also the one to formally introduce the player-character to the cab-driver.Ī Tremere regent who oversees the Tremere Chantry. He can be found initially at The Last Round bar in Downtown and, if the player is open-minded when they talk to him, he might help them to improve their brawling and melee skills.Ī Brujah brawler and a notable Anarch from the nights of the Anarch Free States, Smiling Jack is the one who teaches the basics during the game's tutorial sequence and provides background assistance later. Although he does not consider himself the leader of the Anarchs, the Anarchs do view him as their (unofficial) leader. He develops a big-brother relationship with the Fledgling and offers him/her advice at several points during the game. Due to LaCroix telling the player he picked him up in Africa and his use of Animalism as well as a form of Vicissitude, his clan is rumored to be Nagloper, a hybrid-clan from Africa made of Gangrel and Tzimisce.Ī Brujah that lived through the Great Depression, Nines is the virtual leader of the Anarchs in downtown L.A. The Sheriff can transform into a bat-like creature called the "Chiropteran Marauder". He is the final boss the player must fight at the end, except when siding with LaCroix. At seven feet in height, he towers over everyone else. The Sheriff is LaCroix's personal bodyguard, killer, and enforcer. His fate is not shown, but execution is implied. If the player sides with the Camarilla, Maximillian Strauss will appear and LaCroix will be deposed. If the player sides with the Kuei-Jin, one of Ming-Xiao's henchmen will behead him. When siding with LaCroix, the Anarchs, or if the player chooses to take no side, LaCroix dies in the explosion of opening the rigged sarcophagus. LaCroix is killed at the end of the game regardless to the player's in-game choices. Aside from providing several of the storyline's main quests, he offers several sidequests through e-mail, and can grant the player access to a dwelling in the Skyeline apartment building (for all clans except for Tremere and Nosferatu). ![]() He resides in the Venture Tower in the game’s 'Downtown' area, commanding the city from his penthouse office. Sebastian LaCroix is a French Ventrue of approximately 210 years of age (he claims his Embrace to have taken place "shortly after the Battle of Waterloo"), though he appears to be in his early 20s. Major characters Prince Sebastian LaCroix The player character can be one of the seven Camarilla clans: Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, or Ventrue. NPC's regularly comment on the character being strangely powerful. Throughout the game, tidbits of the fledgling's past are revealed and at one point he/she may also encounter someone from that past (depending on the clan played). The Camarilla member is executed for the indiscretion, but the Fledgling is given the opportunity to work for Prince LaCroix instead. Never referred to directly by name, the Fledgling becomes a vampire after a long and passionate sexual encounter with an unidentified Camarilla member of the opposite gender. In Kindred language "a newly created vampire" but here, the main protagonist of the game, who can either be female or male depending on the choice of the player. ![]() Election deniers and their impact on the upcoming nationwide voting.

The trip also comes just three days after the Senate acquitted Trump in his second impeachment trial. In choosing Wisconsin for his first trip, Biden picked one of the most politically divided states to test his pitch that he has the ability to bring the country together after one of the most difficult periods in recent history. The White House has been operating under strict social distancing rules, with most administration staffers working from home, mask wearing required throughout the White House complex and limits on the size and duration of in-person meetings in the West Wing.

Monday, October 19, in the style of an old radio show with music, sound effects and commercial breaks. “Long Live Frankenstein” by Tim Uren and “Inglorious Monsters” by Joshua English Scrimshaw will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Park Square will partner with the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society on the presentation of two stories based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 horror classic Frankenstein.

SteppingStone also went ahead with Little Mermaid, a play that was in auditions when COVID-19 hit. A highlight for middle school and high school students was producing the original play Alice in Covid Land. The camp typically enrolls about 12,000 students, but this summer it was offered virtually and in a hybrid model that included some socially distant in-person classes. SteppingStone was able to produce its summer camp this year. It moved into the former Grace Community Church on Victoria Street in 2006 after renovating the sanctuary as a 430-seat theater. SteppingStone traces its beginnings to 1987 as a small school residency program at the former Chimera Theatre in downtown Saint Paul. Not only a theater for the general public, Park Square conducted educational programs and produced shows for between 23,000 and 30,000 high school students each year prior to the pandemic. It moved to its 350-seat proscenium theater in 1993 and added a 200-seat thrust stage in 2014. Park Square got its start in 1975 as an 80-seat theater in the Park Square Court building in Lowertown. “Both theaters have a long history in Saint Paul, and we hope they bring joy and insight to the human experience.” “We have people who are very supportive and want to see the theaters not only survive but thrive,” he said.

The post contained photos of the making and cooking of the dish from scratch, which includes boiling chicken breasts in NyQuil. Also known as sleepy chicken, this dish has been going viral online for years now, routinely inspiring alleged internet challenges and scaring the public at large. Some foods cross the line between simply disgusting to possibly deadly, though, like Nyquil chicken, a truly revolting dish made of, you guessed it, NyQuil cold medications and chicken. They also cited the videos seen online, as TikTok still appears to host several videos of cooking Nyquil chicken or encouraging others to, even after the ban and purge of videos in the past (shown below).The internet loves to come together to meme on disgusting food, whether it's a monstrous concoction like pilk or a foul urban food legend like pissy shitties. On September 20th, 2022, the trend reemerged on Twitter, which caused the FDA to get involved and release a statement calling on people to not use Nyquil at any time in their cooking process. TikTok began removing videos making or referring to NyQuil chicken around the same time, showing a warning message if the user searches "nyquil chicken." On January 17th, Newsweek posted a story warning against the trend. On the same date, Forbes covered the trend in an article. If you ate one of those cutlets completely cooked, it’d be as if you're actually consuming a quarter to half a bottle of NyQuil.” On January 16th, Jimmy Fallon joked about the trend during his opening monologue on The Tonight Show (shown below).

Life reported on TikTok's NyQuil Chicken videos, where a doctor suggests it is dangerous, saying, “When you cook cough medicine like NyQuil, however, you boil off the water and alcohol in it, leaving the chicken saturated with a super concentrated amount of drugs in the meat. The video was removed off Tiktok, but on January 1st, 2022, the YouTuber Action Jaxon uploaded a reaction to the original (shown below). He ends the video saying "Bone Apple Tea," a phrase mimicking "bon appétit" that is often used along with imagery or videos of unappetizing food. ![]() On September 4th, 2020, TikToker posted a seemingly ironic video where he cooks up two chicken breasts in NyQuil, saying he likes to use "four-thirds" of the bottle and exclaiming that the steam makes you sleepy, using a hair straightener throughout to flip the meat (shown below).
