So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I’ve only played a little, so most of this doesn’t mean too much to me yet.

I’ve never heard of it, but it seems well liked by fans of puzzle games. No reason not to check it out if you enjoy a good puzzle.

Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, “lol, snitches get stitches.”

That said, I couldn’t find anything about the informants actually being executed.

This young man volunteered to undergo the procedure even though he didn’t have to.

Proving this works paves the way for surgeries where general anesthesia isn’t an option for whatever reason.

They gave him a spinal epidural, let him pick the music, and got started on surgery.

Veh-soo-vee-us.

I genuinely don’t know what happened after end game. It went from a favorite summer experience to something I couldn’t care less about.

What a shocking mishandling of a valuable asset.

I can’t imagine even getting excited about Avenger’s 5, much less seeing it in theaters.

If you’d told me six years ago that I would write that sentence, I would have laughed at you.

Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.

Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.

I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.

Still OSHA, I believe. I did a quick google and they seem to have rules for fishing boats.

OSHA does not approve.

Beautiful art, however.

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

It’s literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you’d take issue with this particular one.

I love the work the Satanic Temple is doing.

I love his videos, especially, In Search of a Flat Earth and The Line Goes Up.

I think this may be his best one yet, it’s complex, beautiful, compassionate, and deeply human. More introspection than investigative expose, but so very good.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

And a Supreme Court eager to throw its political weight around.

VR is neat, but it’s mostly been a solution in search of a problem.

I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.

Very cool and thanks for making this.

Very neat. I haven’t used Reddit in a year, but I wanted to check out your app out of curiosity. I think I feel much healthier without it being a regular part of my life, but this is an interesting window I could glance through from time to time.

The comment collapse feature seems to work very inconsistently. Where should you be tapping or how in order to collapse a comment thread?
