Just keep every knife that cost over 10 bucks as far from that thing as you possibly can. These absolutely annihilate the edge.

I never quite figured out what people need multiple knives for when I get by perfectly fine with a single high quality santoku chef knife.

Depends on the individual and whether anyone is there to see.

Why would cat owners take issue with it? I’d gladly feed her that if it was available and it’s what she liked.

The price of bitcoin right now is 81k USD.

No. They’re called nucleation sites. These are microscopic imperfections on the inside of the can. When you shake the can a small gas bubble might form there and after that more CO₂ can diffuse into it until the bubble grows large enough to detach and rise. A small pocket is however left behind, so the same site keeps making a steady stream of bubbles. These are what cause the can to immediately overflow when you open it. Tapping the sides before opening causes these small trapped gas bubbles to detach and rise to the surface and then it can be safely opened. If it haven’t been shaken, then there’s no need for this, though there’s no harm either.

I’m talking about one of these things. Not that I disagree about the 3D printer, though.

Yeah, they’re LEDs and the kind that you can quite easily replace if either one breaks. Also, fully opened the legs span about a meter which should be plenty sturdy.

Whenever possible I try and rig up some kind of overhead lighting, but especially when painting / plastering, getting that sidelight with long shadows is essential for a smooth finish.

I already know what the next one is going to be: vacuum attachment for my hammer drill. I just can’t justify the price as it costs almost as much as the drill itself. I bet I’ll make a similar post about that once I finally give in.

gluten-free anything

There’s a 2023 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology where they gave adults who self-reported non-coeliac gluten sensitivity gluten-free bread but said it had gluten in it and around 40% of them got matching symptoms. However actual gluten intake, by itself, produced little additional effect once expectancy was accounted for.

Agreed. Also, I switch it from reverse to forward every time after use even if I have more screws to unscrew.

Probably didn’t learn it from YouTube and it’s not exactly cooking related either but tapping the lid of a carbonated drink can before opening it does absolutely nothing.

What actually reduces the fizz explosion you’re trying to prevent is tapping the side of the can multiple times while rotating it so that the bubbles stuck to the inside of the can rise to the surface.

Never heard of him nor do I have Netflix.

Doesn’t matter as I would be blind and couldn’t see it.

that have an AI generated thumbnail and when I’ve viewed some of them there’s been no apparent AI use in the video.

That’s what I’m trying to say here as well.

How is it that every time a comments starts with “So you’re saying…” it’s the followed up with something I did not say.

My country has the best tap water in the world so luckily I don’t need to even think about that. It’s far cleaner than even bottled water.

That’s a statement, not an argument.

As a heavy YouTube user this simply is not my experience. Not that it never happens, but it’s not the default to the point that you can just assume that. In most cases your assumption is wrong.

Gaming YouTube is probably the clearest example. Everyone has an AI thumbnail and nobody has AI content in the video itself. Same applies to renovation, car mechanic, woodworking, machining, van life etc. Virtually everyone has 100% organic content but with an AI thumbnail.

AI content only starts appearing when you move to videos that used to heavily rely on stock video content or for example videos about history where real footage is not available. I assume it’s also the case often with short-form media but I wouldn’t know as I don’t consume any.

Someone is still paying for hosting that content. That works for text, pictures and gifs but once you move to videos it starts getting expensive. I too put content on YouTube without any intention to make money from it but I still understand that it costs YouTube money.

I’m all for passion projects but it still needs to be sustainable one way or another.
