  • Still seems to be working for me for now, I don’t see a timeline for taking it down do we know?

  • Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?

    Jump

  • Came here to post Jperm, highly recommended. Got me from never picking up a cube before to a sub 2 minute solve with the beginner’s method. He has a website as well with graphic instructions that is very handy

  • Yes, like all written words, they were intentionally chosen. In this case, they were chosen because your rhetoric is identical to that of these toxic charlatans. If you told me you paid for an online seminar I would be unsurprised.

    Why is this fantasy of intellectual superiority so appealing to you, would you guess?

  • Yes, literally everyone would prefer the opinion of a random person who’d never heard of the topic before today, over the regurgitated opinion of someone who instantly believes manosphere influencers when they say everyone is dumb except for you

  • Oh, plenty of people actually do use a belt grinder with an angle guide lol. It’s probably the best way to do it if you want quality + fast results tbh. I prefer a stone for the simplicity

  • Most people are in fact not infants who can’t understand any “mildly complicated” concepts, nor is that audience reading this exchange

  • The headache is just if the opposite side is dished, since the stone has to rest on it while you’re working on the active side. If you’re flattening every time anyway then it’s not all that bad. My assumption is that people aren’t haha

  • It’s really not anything advanced, you can learn whetstone sharpening with like a ten minute youtube video. Might take more research to feel confident getting started if you have lots of trepidation about it

    But from there you’ll never want to bother with the time commitment and cost of having your knives professionally sharpened. Just makes no sense when you can simply take out your stone as needed

    I would strongly advise against the pull through sharpeners you’re talking about, in all cases. A cheap knife doesn’t actually have any problem retaining a sharp edge. My inexpensive stainless steel chef’s knife that I abuse every day lasts months without issues.

    The problem you’re experiencing is that pull through “sharpeners” do not actually sharpen the blade at all. They just create and leave you with a huge burr.

    Whetstones also create a burr, but you deburr the blade with stropping passes and reveal the stable geometry you have created underneath. On pull throughs, they’re relying on you not to know any better and to simply try cutting your food with the burr. This works in the extreme short term, because the burr is “sharp” at first…. until literally the first time you use it, when it proceeds to crumble off or roll over onto itself. After which point you can once again “save time” by pulling it through the device again and again

  • So the main issue with double sided whetstones is that as you use any whetstones they “dish”, so if you use both sides it ends up being way harder to keep them flat. The “combo” stones tend to be lower quality in general as well

    You’re usually better off getting a normal stone, then sharpening using only one side of it. A decent 1000 grit alone is good for sharpening undamaged kitchen knives. Don’t need a strop or a super high grit stone or anything you can just do stropping passes right on the same stone. But overall it’s not really that serious, people who know what they’re doing can sharpen knives with like a rock from the woods

  • Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries, and a glass of fruit punch!

  • Steam Frame and Steam Machine will be another good boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall too

  • I think the issue here is actually overestimating intelligence in the current political climate. Like who cares if your group is smarter if you are simply outnumbered? Furthermore, idiocy is far more efficient. The powers that be can push a hundred items through their base while the smarter base is responsibly fact checking their candidates

    It’s like trying to judge albert einstein by his ability to swim upriver. He’s way smarter than a salmon. Doesn’t matter in the slightest

  • Oh the self proclaimed ambassador for the field of biology is back at it again, what a surprise. Has he revealed yet that his smoking gun ‘study’ that defines sex and ‘represents literally all of biology’ is actually just a rant from a discredited nut job podcaster who has dozens of posts whining about how he’s been totally ostracized by all other biologists?

    Edit: LMAOOO, yup

    Edit 2: Instead of responding to his multiple new feature-length “I am the chad you are soy” tirades, I’ll suggest just reading through the old thread if you’re curious about what got him so worked up lol
