Kenshin posted:You're talking about the difference between a $20 and a $250 knife. Above ~$400 (less for a paring knife or something else small) you're paying for the artistry or the maker. Above ~$1000 you're paying for difficult techniques, highly skilled craftsmanship, and exotic materials. quote:Maker: Yoshikazu Ikeda (click to see more by this maker) Yeah at that point, you're paying for something that will arguably increase in price based on its provenance. That price probably reflects the demand on his time too. Everything sub $500 is mostly just really, really good without rare animal parts used for the handle.

Why is their kids dating going to mess up their polycule? It definitely seems like they're treating the kids like they're step-siblings based on their own poly relationship, which is really goddamn weird

Upgrade posted:Yep as Motronic said it’s the opposite. I just want to let you know that your gut common sense feelings on this are 100% wrong and study after study proves cyclists actually follow the rules way more often than cars do. What you propose is the entirely discredited ideology of "vehicular cycling" which was pushed by an anti-bike lane idiot by the name of John Forester. It guarantees extremely low mode shares of cycling and keeps it dangerous and all users stressed. If you only want a few really brave and confident men riding bikes then yeah, vehicular cycling is great for that. But it also invariably self-selects for the type of people who will be brazen and "flout" the rules and makes bikes deeply unattractive to casual riders. Civilized countries have learned that if you want to get normal people cycling, and also not having thousands of people killed by cars every year, the only solution is strictly segregating bikes from cars and treating them very much as things that are very much not cars. If you want to learn more, like actual facts and not just gut feelings based on local anecdotes, the youtube channel "not just bikes" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A is excellent for that. The great thing about proper bike infra is that it also makes driving far less stressful as car-bike conflicts are drastically reduced and the few areas they do still cross paths are designed for high visibility and predictability.

AITA for my dog barked a teen I have a 3 years old chihuahua, she is cute and small. I have trained she to elementary commands, like “Off!” and “Sit!”. She never attacked anybody. Yesterday I taken a walk in the forest park. We have ran on the dirt road. A cyclist drove at about 10 mph after us. He tried to overtake us, but my dog scared and barked he. That biker fell off into me. Dog ain’t injured. That little jerkass got up and started blame me because I haven’t leash. I took she and walk out.

AITA for my husband missing a meeting while I was babysitting his laptop?quote:My husband routinely has issues with his sleep schedule. We both work from home. On mornings when he needs an extra hour or two, he asks me to grab his laptop, log on, and monitor his email/Skype until he wakes up. Mind you, I do this while doing my own work (I manage to wake up and get online even if I only get 5 hours of sleep) and caring for our toddler. One morning, I grabbed his computer for him but he asked to be woken by 9am. I was logging on after a week of vacation and had a couple of high priority items to tend to. I forgot to check his email. He woke at 9am but never came to get his computer until 10:30. It turns out, he had a 9am meeting that he completely missed. He started yelling at me and cussing me out for not checking his email. I told him it's not my responsibility to do his job, and he said it's OUR job because our livelihood depends on both our jobs. He said I am not a team player. Am I the rear end in a top hat? My job? I believe you mean our job, by which I really mean your job!!

Here's a good one. AITA for messing with real estate showings of the neighboring gentrified house? quote:I rent in an affordable small neighborhood (decent rent and houses sold for under 150k but everyone is a renter here, the houses are owned by a number of landlords) which is right next to a really gentrified neighborhood where houses or even condoes are going for over 600k.

She's in for a world of "misunderstandings" until she starts actually saying things that are true instead of lying by omission. It's not a lie, by omission or otherwise. She doesn't have parents. It doesn't matter if it is because of emancipation, death, or abandonment. My own parents are dead and even I wouldn't assume that's what someone meant if they said they don't have parents. She was also in a situation that had nothing to do with having parents, it would not have been an issue if the supervisor wasn't a busybody. Edit: Also, they are better off saying they don't have parents and leaving it at that to avoid people prying for details about why they are emancipated. People are absolutely horrible to me when they find out my parents died even though I was a kid and had nothing to do with them getting sick. They take it as a personal attack and treat me like I'm diseased from then on. I keep it a secret as much as possible to avoid this. I can't imagine how much more awful they'd treat someone who admitted to leaving their abusive parents. run on sentience fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jun 6, 2022 |

This is used for parties who are effectively dead even though they're probably not. Ie "What does your baby's daddy think? What does he contribute?" Oh he's not in the picture. Somebody is "not in the picture" if they're in jail, a deadbeat, are no-contact on either side, you don't even know who they are, etc.

It doesn't mean dead, it just means they're not a factor to consider. Which is basically what she is trying to say, no? And as a note the reason she wants to refer to them in negative terms is because they were so lovely she had to leave at 15. Like, her parents are really lovely.
