Personally I love oranges but cant stand orange juice.
This verges on actually mattering, but knives on magnetic strips should be blade down.
Pros:
-
when grabbing the knife you are holding it in the safest way possible automatically with the blade pointed down rather than blade up like fucking Chucky.
-
If you botch grabbing it, it falls away from your hand/arm rather than toward/on top of it.
-
the handles hook over the strip and are more secure
-
the handles are all on the same plane, and again if you dislodge a separate knife unexpectedly it falls away from your hand/arm
Magnetic strips give me the heebie jeebies. I like a nice solid block instead.
I don’t have the kitchen space for a block.
What sort of psycho puts them blades up? That’s crazy.
In my experience, most people for some reason. Honestly I usually get push back on this, I’m not used to people agreeing with me. There’s usually at least one person for example that tries to claim it’s safer for the knife since if it falls the tip is more protected when up.
Ones who have it right into front their cutting board and want to grab the knife in the grip they’re going to use it in.
Obviously, you do you. From Google image search it seems like the world is fairly evenly split between up and down, and although I think handle up is more sane, and a little bit safer, there’s no right answer. But I grab knives off my rack in a single motion, ready to chop.
Most people’s hands can easily rotate thumb up or thumb down, so I don’t see how the direction of the handle makes much difference. If you’re used to one, it would definitely feel clunky to swap, I know I’d find grabbing a downward facing handle a bit akward.

Continuing to invest and scale up AI Data Centres without a clear path on how to improve LLMs logic is a fool’s errand.
Can Americans just switch their spelling back to standard English, please? Why do we have to have two systems of spelling just because the U.S. wanted to be different?
You think it’s a sign that I got nothing that I may be taking myself a little too seriously?

We should ditch ethernet, coax, and copper completely for data transmission. Everything should be fiber cable. Fiber internet to the house, fiber throughout the house, etc.
You can do it, but the transceivers cost more. I have a fiber optic USB cable with embedded transceivers for long range use, beyond what USB can normally do. It was about $120, IIRC.
Also, for Ethernet, you can’t do Power Over Ethernet, which is useful for some devices.
maybe because it’s usb? fiber/ethernet sfp+ transvievers are about the same price ~$15 each. But ethernet modules consume a lot more power and have higher latency.
I imagine you could do power over fiber by simply using high-power lasers in your fiber connection, but it would be annoying and painful for you to accidentally break a fiber open and unleash an unaimed 45-watt fiber laser on yourself.
Fiber throughout the house I think would be terrible simply because Ethernet cables get exposed to a lot of random stresses and a fiber cable would just snap. Of course this wouldn’t matter that much if they were ubiquitous because they would be inexpensive simply by virtue of mass production, but even so it would be a pain in the ass to have to go down to your local 24-hour retail store to purchase a new fiber cable because you accidentally knocked over your Wi-Fi router.
Not to mention that for home uses, 10 gig ethernet, CAT6A is more than sufficient for all but the most niche needs and most people will never saturate a 10 gig cable under the best of circumstances.
I talked to a high-end DIT once who’s pretty influential and even gets sponsorships. Corning gave him a fiber optic Thunderbolt cable made with Gorilla Glass. He said he could tie knots in it and it still worked. Made it real easy to take from filming location to filming location. Sounded like it was crazy expensive if anyone wanted to buy one, though.
Cat6 cable also has the admirable quality of being able to carry power as well as data.
Fibre… not so much.
Not the thin little bitch fibers were talking about for home use anyway. Need some of those thicc subsea fibers for that.

I thought the same until I saw the price of the tools, copper is great.
Ethernet would’ve been a great name for WiFi.
Especially mesh wifi.
The way some people pronounce jewelry and realtor makes me wince. I never say anything, but I feel a secret burning rage for people who add a non-existant syllable to the middle of those words. (Which is, unfortunately, most people where I live).
“Nukular” never fails to make me seethe a little bit internally.
While we’re at it, it’s turmeric, not choomarick.
What about Wednesday?
I get a similar thing when people say “comf-terble.”
I feel called out. I know how it’s properly pronounced, but I can’t make my mouth put those sounds in that order. It’s uncomf-terble.
How are people pronouncing realtor wrongly?
Ree-luh-tur instead of reel-tur.
We went to the Li-berry.
Jewellery is actually spelled with the extra syllable outside of the US.
Double. Space. After. Periods.
Period.
Why say normalcy when you have a perfectly good normality right there?
You inspire me. I love banana-flavored things, but I don’t like bananas.
I’m the opposite, except for banana cake, can eat that all day every day. But banana flavour sweets, milk/milkshake etc. you can keep, tastes disgusting to me, even a hint of it in a milkshake ruins it.
People pronouncing processes (and biases) like they rhyme with “chimpanzees”, instead of “addresses”.
Since the English language has done words that borrow the Greek and make an -eez sound, like crisis to crises, people seem to think process is Greekified. It doesn’t follow the same pattern at all.
English is hard enough as it is without inventing extra rules to try to make us sound smarter. Meanwhile, I try to de-Greekify the language with octopuses, syllabuses, and cactuses - all valid plurals in English.
