Timmah!

Nice; but I'd probably go with some Prosciutto & top it with some parmesan under the broiler for the last min.

Yes; & from doing some reading on systems, sharpening applications & principles, that's all one really needs. A super-sharp, highly-polished razor's edge is hyped in marketing, on cooking shows & in enthusiasts' sites in articles & comment sections. Anybody with a passing familiarity of knife sharpening & tests has seen the 'will it cut paper' test; it's just not what's best or practical for a knife's optimal kitchen performance. A razor-sharp blade that's been highly polished will have a thin edge that will dull quickly & require frequent honing on a steel. Many people then make the mistake of resharpening their blade instead; grinding away steel & shortening the life of their blade. A blade that's done 80-90% as sharp as possible will work much better for 2 reasons. The thicker blade will hold its edge much longer & not roll over, requiring straightening on a steel less often. Although it may not be 'sharp' enough to push through a piece of paper & shear of a piece, it will slice through food items much better due to the micro serrations along the blade when sharpened to something less than a high polish.

Sounds like a Manga title, but it's a knife sharpening system. Looked around & decided it was the best value. Always caveat Emptor when shopping; due diligence for purchase price as with previous consideration of product candidates: Did a little searching & found what I thought was the best balance of price & quality, features. $30 with 10 stones. And definitely a better price than these folks who want to charge you 5X the going rate for the privilege of having their name on the bag. Anyhoo, anybody ever use this brand? How were your results?

Made a pie.

Felicitations!

A detailed explanation: .

I have an old facebook secondary account for gaming; it has the maximum number of friends allowed so that I could trade in-game items, & send and receive gifts. It's one of the posts that popped up when I was skimming through. It stood out because it wasn't a game-related post.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

It looked properly rotated before being uploaded; youtube conveniently further hamstrung the integrated editor to remove rotation; so gonna upload a rotated version to replace it.

There's a blue million of them around here; thanks for the offer nonetheless.

Gettin' cl0se to that time of year.

Hax.

Yeah, I have a few varieties of mini tripods; just don't want more shit sitting on my desk, when it can be clamped to the side of my desk or on one of my full-sized tripods.

My Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone and a table clamp phone holder:

Those temporary perks you get when on a death streak; I was surprised how quickly some weapons shoot when rapid fire or whatever is chosen.

Hisense Chest Freezer, 7 cu ft for only $150! Now I can prepare essential meal components for rapid utilization. The two liter is one of a few containers I fill with water & freeze, then place into my fridge to keep the temperature super cool & stable. Great idea for when the power goes out, too.

There's so many solid answers to that question; we'll stick with 'my own'; they paid me to stay home & play with my balls. It helps productivity.

Isn't it wonderful?! Don't you feel happier than you did just a few seconds ago? (would have posted in original thread; but it was 'closed to further replies' or something.

But, c0ntrails. I know I wouldn't want to be an admin & have to babysit those that bring their misery to the servers. Now, I know I whine...get on my own nerves at times; but there are some pissy miserable little bitches that use the forums & the server as a platform to vent their unhappiness... get a shrink; I did, years ago. Cryin' li'l bitches. Imagine having to live in that headspace 24/7; especially when personal agency allows otherwise. So to recap: Cryin li'l bitches. Have a great day.
