It's baffling because he presents it as this great convenience. If he just said, like, "i wanted to make a drill-powered sharpener for fun" it'd make sense I guess but why would a "teacher who needs to sharpen lots of pencils" need this ever

MisterOblivious posted:Awwww yeah 3 section soy sauce, crunchy onion and chili oil pack, + 2 section beef flavor and chili powder pack: Sambal oeleck and plum sauce or Mae ploy sweet chili. Sriracha is a fine condiment, but as an ingredient (and if you can take the heat, a condiment) sambal is the superior rooster sauce. With the addition plum sauce or sweet chili, you get salty-spicy-sweet, rather than SALTY!!!!-spicy

My friend uses that exact line to argue the virtues of straight up chilis over sambal. They're mental, and their cooking scares me.

the drill pencil sharpener is a thing i've seen a couple carpenter's have in their travel toolboxes but usually they have a regular pencil sharpener or y'know a knife

A carpenter's pencil isn't round anyway. (I mean a carpenter can use a round/hexagonal pencil if they want to but that doesn't make it a carpenter's pencil. [Which, incidentally, is the oldest extant pencil type or at least was when I last read about it. {Which was over ten years ago probably.}])

Also if you've got an oldish (no idea how old) soft pencil, it might be too thick to fit in a sharpener. I bought a bunch of Faber-Castell 9000s from a really old book store that was closing and some of them were so old they'd warped because of drying and all the 5Bs and 6Bs were hell of thick.

I don't know a single person who works with pencils professionaly (producing art) that doesn't sharpen pencils with a knife. It's one of the basics because it gives you complete control over the drawing tool.

I don't think it would help with freshness like the video says since once you cut open the bag all the nitrogen gas inside would be released like it would if you opened it normally.

om nom nom posted:Sambal oeleck and plum sauce or Mae ploy sweet chili. Sambal oelek sucks, it's bland indo chilli sauce for white people. There's heaps of good sambals (chilli sauces) though from Indonesia. What you want for ramen is ABC chilli sauce - extra hot version. It's even got MSG in it! Another good one is Sambel Cap ibu Jari as a chilli sauce in a bottle. Also there's sambal that are more of a paste in a jar like Sambal udang bawang (Shallot and Garlic). E: Mae ploy sweet chilli is a great sauce for things, I usually have it on potato fries/wedges/skins or chicken. I didn't ever think to use it on noodles or rice though.

corn in the bible posted:They make mechanical art pencils??? I've only seem them used for drafting. They use 2mm leads and you still need to sharpen them, usually with a strip of sandpaper. They do make the leads in different hardness, so I suppose they could be used for traditional pencil drawings.

Actual LIFE HACK: you see the little hole on the non-drawing end of your 2mm (or larger) mechanical pencil or, as they are known in the trade, lead holder*? It's a sharpener. Or maybe they make ones that don't have it, I've only ever used three different models *) I mean it is a very descriptive term. e: GET ONE THAT DOES SO THIS HACK WILL WORK, TIA.

Karate Bastard posted:GIFts from the GIF thread! That's... something I do. I also count out how many bites I'll need to take. And try to balance which side of my mouth I use to chew, and so forth. That's a useful life-hack and I was happy to figure it out whenever I did, yes, but but it's like stir things while you cook them for more consistent cooking.

Fo3 posted:Sambal oelek sucks, it's bland indo chilli sauce for white people. Man, when I was working in Yellowstone I had a guy working for me from China, he had brought a case of some chili garlic paste with like little bits of crispy bacon in it, and have me a jar. It was super spicy and flavorful. Holy poo poo, that was the best thing I've ever had. But he didn't speak English very well, and all of the characters on the bottle were Chinese. So I have no idea what it was and will likely never find it again. I was so sad when I finished the bottle off.
