Good enough for a 4-banger, probably a small V6.

god it took me 3 days to start my bmw with a battery charger


the first day I had a lovely connection and it just wasnt doing anything (I was drinking)

2nd day I had a good connection but had it set at like 6v all day (I was hungover) then set it to 12v 10A or whatever

then today I started it off on the last setting and finally started it

was glad I didnt have to buy a new battery because it's basically a HMMWV battery and way too much money

I don't care to admit how often my car wouldn't start and it was simply a loose connection and or abundance of battery acid/sediment/whatever. Got the spray cleaner, sand those posts down, then there's the protective poo poo they sell now.

I've got a battery terminal I need to install on the Jeep to replace the lovely cheap non-tightening one the factory used. Ugh.

I just push start it. :shrug:

Unless I'm all the way into my driveway and leave the interior lights on all weekend like an idiot. Then I call somebody to bring their car over. :(

I have push started this car a lot.

I'm not sure if this is any worse than Prime Day, though.

Edit: 54 minutes til the next deal, so I'm not exactly sure how this is working.

I'm looking for a new chef's knife to compliment the Wusthoff I've had for about 4 years now. Anyone use a Shun or other light Japanese brand?

The GWS subforum did a good autism-level culinary knife writeup. http://www.goonswithspoons.com/Knife_Guide

It's not the answer you want, but the answer you need!

FAQ has a better answer:https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3649287


: What knife set should I get?
by dino.: Victorinox Fibrox in whatever length you like. Don't get a knife set. They're all ploys to get you to spend more money on more poo poo you don't need. Get one good chef's knife, one good serrated (bread) knife, and one paring knife IF you find yourself wishing you had a paring knife. For most people, one good chef's knife is more than enough.
by SubG: It's also good advice to handle a knife before you buy it. The chef's knife probably the piece of kitchen equipment where personal preference plays the largest role, and so if you handle something and don't like it gently caress what the hive mind says you should go with something else.

Also, the (current) general hive mind recommendations seem to be, from least expensive on up: Victorinox/Forschner; Tojiro; whatever Wüsthof/Henckels/Global/Shun/whateverthefuck you happen to like; handmade/custom stuff (Moritaka gets special recommendation for being inexpensive for a handmade kitchen knife). Also: side recommendation for a Chinese cleaver, with the CCK small slicer being the canonical recommendation as an entry point into the world of the Chinese cleaver. For paring knives I'd also throw out that the Dojo paring knife is the tits and is totally worth it if you have the US$50 or so to blow on a paring knife. That being said, your knife budget is best spent on buying the best chef's knife you can afford, then if you want a bread and paring knife spend what's left over on them.

Daniel Craig is on for a fifth Bond movie. Christopher Nolan could direct.

Nolan apparently is a huge Bond film and he never thought it was in the cards to direct one. The arctic sequence in Inception was essentially his take on a Bond scene.

Yea agreed. It's difficult to commit which one is better than which. Skyfall is a more visually interesting movie due to Roger Deakins being the director of photography.

I like Daniel Craig much in the same way I liked the Sean Connery ones. Both dudes you could easily believe would stab a bitch in the neck.
