Hmm, looks like it's the US spelling for a gripping tool, whereas UK uses vice for both a personal failing or a bad habit, and a gripping tool. I'm most familiar with US spelling since I learned most of my English from video games and TV shows as wee lad.

I checked the biggest retailers in my neck of the woods, doesn't look like any of them sell it.
Not native English speaker, so I checked the dictionary first, and saw that vise is an accepted alternative spelling. Might not be that common apparently.
I did not want anyone to think I was derusting my personal failings.
I'm mostly the kind of worldbuilder, who gets one cool but vague idea of something and then just randomly plug stuff into it until it makes sense. The latest was "What if there was a force that was rewriting reality while it's going on, and some people are immune to it for some reason?" and I ran with it. 150h later I have a full 12 scenario Call of Cthulhu campaign, but without Lovecraft stuff, all homebrew.
Dogget at least has some character development, doesn't hold a candle to Mulder though and definitely not saying he's a good character, but what really got me was the Agent NoPersonality, Monica Reyes. (I had to look up her name) She doesn't do anything, she doesn't have any kind of development, she doesn't add anything and she's just so boring and cookiecutter. No chemistry with Dogget either. I had actually forgotten she exists until I rewatched the entire series recently.
I am considering framing this comment. Never have I gotten such a compliment.
Yes. Thank you for noticing.
I mean, that's what makes it fun? Do you play games without rules too? In my mind, it's not worth much thought if there's no rules to it. Otherwise you could just say "I will go into the future where they've invented how to become a god and then come back with my godlike powers and do whatever I want."
it's the wishing-for-more-wishes kind of boring thing to do. Boundaries and restrictions breed creativity. That's what's fun for me.
Come on, can't ask this kind of question without giving us the rules.
Paradox free? Does the future change? Do I go as my current self or is age adjusted? Do I keep my current knowledge and memories and skills? Do I get to go back? Do I get multiple tries to get the optimal outcome?
So many variables with these kinds of hypotheticals, I can't give you any meaningful answer without general outlines of the rules. Can't play the game if I don't know the rules.
Hmm, yeah, I don't think that's very likely. Used it on the same TV for the entirety of it's lifecycle, and I believe I was using my PC monitor when I was troubleshooting. Very unlikely for two devices to cause the same issue. I'll keep it in mind either way, who knows.
After some research, apparently my local auto store does sell a store brand rust removal gel. As a bonus, in my local language it's apparently called "Rust eater".
