@futurebird I find the scissors tools to be more useful than the pliers tools. I have a Leatherman PS4 Squirt which is regrettably no longer made.

@zombiewarrior @pluralistic I remember a prominent libertarian lament about their movement, "Unfortunately they hate Liberals more than they love liberty." I cannot locate who said this, but it was in regards to many people calling themselves libertarians supporting Trump.

@futurebird I used to have them in a previous house. Out in Palo Pinto, TX, I saw a monstrous one, that had to be a least between 12-16 inches crawling on a building wall before climbing up into the eaves.
