I'm not getting fat! I just don't have enough air in my tire!

I noticed TWO straight cuts about 3" apart.

"Snake bite." Been there many times. Best fix: replace the tube.
Tube was expensive? Then I guess that's an expensive lesson.

To prevent, use more pressure like you said. A wider rim is good
prevention too.

Last time I tried to patch a pinch flat, the repair job blew wide open
at a very inopportune time. Attempt repair at your own peril.

haha I had purposely let a lot of air out earlier in my attempt to
1-foot pedal down stairs! I just didn't have my hand pump with me to
bring it back up afterwords! I'm just lucky I didn't tweak my rim;the
drop/gap was pretty high/long.

I have always used rubber cement and either a chunk of old inner tube or
actual rubber patches and have never had a patch leak. A 3mm hole
should be no problem to patch. You should only have to replace your
tube if the stem is wreaked or you can stick you finger in the hole.

those stick on patches are only temporary, in my opinion. whenever i
have to use one of those on the road....i come back, peel it off, and
put on a "real" glue on patch. the stick on ones have never held well
for me, but i've never had a problem with the glue on.

so yeah, i'd say get a proper patch kit, follow the instructions, and
patch it.

I found that duct tape works just as well as the stick on patches,
seriously. They both last just as long as each other (well at least the
patces I have anyway). I like the glue on ones, they take a bit longer
to fix the tube but they are worth it.

I've used the stick-on patches for my commuter b*ke for ages, and
they've very rarely failed. But I've always just replaced snake-bitten
tubes as lost causes.
