I use stones now, but when I was learning to sharpen my knives, I used a Lansky Sharpening Kit. I learned the angles and what the stones do from the kit, and bought some good stones from Japan.
For my American friends, don’t bother with the stones at Harbor Freight. That’s the one tool that I have found that is just going to cause more frustration trying to use it, rather than just buying a good one.
The cat has access to all the rooms. They can, and will, crawl under the doors of most houses.
Remember what Small Soldiers taught us kids! A simple spanner dropped so that it connects the positive and negative terminals of a power pole transformer creates a smallish explosion, and a medium sized (couple city blocks) EMP!
But that’s in Canadian dollars, so it’s like 20% cheaper in USD.
I would highly recommend Portal and Portal 2 as primers for basically all your 3D games. Not only did Yahzee give The Orange Box in general a glowing review, but they teach you basic gaming mechanics almost intuitively.
I swear you are me. Same fucking thing happened to me, except it was my mom that picked me up, and I had to use the library and a calculus textbook to memorize the formula, because 1991-1992 and so the computers were less than helpful for research.
L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer. He made a bet with another science fiction writer that he could get rich quicker by starting a fake religion, and collecting tithes, than he could selling science fiction stories. Scientology is the resulting pyramid scheme/ cult.
Not to mention that any and all new research isn’t coming out of these companies, and is locked behind a paywall. They are actively stifling innovation by hoarding the data that used to give us neat things like Velcro.
The Onion buying Infowars is the only good news I’ve heard this week.
Or ⅓ + (⅓*½) = ½
What movie?
Land of the fee,
Home of the slave.
Once you wrap your head around the new orientation of things, it’s actually really well designed to work on. I figured the mechanics just didn’t want to learn anything “new”
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
Edit: In case anyone missed what I was saying, “This world is worse than hell war” is how I would interpret Sir_Kevin’s comment, and I’m a veteran.
Nah, Americans just don’t like to read the manuals, and they got a bad reputation in the late '70s and early '80s when they first put turbos into the cars, because you had to pull into the driveway, and let the turbo spin down for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If you didn’t, the turbo would seize and then shred itself when you turn the car back on.
Also American mechanics don’t like the fact that the engine is not in the configuration they are used to. It’s rotated 90° on the z axis and 45 on the x axis. Absolutely solid tanks if you actually read the manual, and followed the routine maintenance recommendations.
It’s not the actual turbo that gets gummed, the fuel system is what gums up, but for some reason it’s far worse on the turbo versions of the cars. I could put low octane into the non turbo SAABs I had, and it didn’t gum up the intake the way the turbo versions did. I don’t know why.
Could be. I think they may have been willing to offer me a premium because I’m shockingly white, with blue/green eyes, and had blonde hair at the time. My dad just taught us all how to use chopsticks as kids, and I spent a semester in college eating everything with them, mainly so that I could.
Edit: oh, and I’m left handed, which is considered lucky in those cultures, from what I’ve been told.
He simulated sucking someone’s dick at a recent rally, just before the election. Not sure that would be enough to phase them.
Fellow chopstick master checking in. I’ve been told by a TON of expats that I could make a decent amount of money just eating as an extra in Japanese/Korean/Chinese television/film. I might have considered it in my 20s, but not now that I’m almost retired.
¼" to ½" is all most cats need. They are surprisingly flexible
