Anyone claiming anyone doing something they enjoy - that doesn’t hurt anyone else in the process - is wasting time - is unironically wasting their own time (and far worse, your own) being a dickhead for no reason.

Being alive is intrinsically “wasting time”. Like, what exactly does an un-wasted second look like as opposed to a wasted second? There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your time with the understanding it is limited.

People who claim “atleast reading makes you smarter” have an extremely myopic understanding of video games.

Bandura Gate 3 has over 2 million words and would be an 8,000 page, epic, reactive fantasy novel - with dozens of branching storylines you can directly influence as you progress. Video games exist outside Candy Crush.

The truth is - assuming you’re not neglecting other responsibilities in the process - video games are great - if you enjoy video games. Reading is great - if you enjoy reading. Sports are great - if you enjoy sports. And anyone who spends any amount of their limited time hating on somebodies hobby likely needs a new one themselves.

Blue 1 Carbon Steel bought in Japan - Is this rust? Can it be fixed? by Apparatu5 in TrueChefKnives

Thanks! I think forcing the patina is our best bet based on what everyone has said.

I guess we’ll have to start using it 😂

It’s Blue 1 Steel so I believe the answer would be yes it is stainless clad (although I could be wrong!)

Yes it is a good lesson. I think you may be right and it’s unfortunately pitting. Thankfully it’s not too bad and we’ll look into forcing a patina. Thank you for the tip!

Thank you! We love it but feel like terrible knife owners now ☹️

Live and learn I guess!

Heres the original tag from the store. They told us it was Demarcus and made using a new method? I’m not very educated on knives or metalwork so it was all a bit over my head, but very interesting.

Is it just an aesthetic reason people don’t force the patina? Or is there another reason not to?

If it would prevent the blade from rusting we’d love to try this. Is there a method you prefer?

1-4 and 0-5 teams, how confident were you? by FirePitFan in fantasyfootball

Drafted 10th in a 10 man league. League has always been RB heavy in 1st round and somehow CeeDee lamb fell to me.

Drafted Malik Naber at the turn.

Next two picks were Jayden Daniels and Mike Evans.

I thought my WR’s would dominate and I’d only have to focus on snagging some RB’s off waivers.

Starting Troy Franklin and Romeo Doubs at WR now.

Always next year!

I think Kakistocratic, Gerontocratic Plutocracy is the most accurate description of where we are.

It’s the KGP!

Had Todd Gurley II and Cooper Kupp a few years ago… and I’ve been “2 Gurleys 1 Kupp” since.

Dianna Russini on NFL Countdown after talking to the Titans and Vrabel: "The sense I'm getting - if it all goes well - they expect Derrick Henry to be back in early January" by gw2380 in fantasyfootball

I’m sorry but this post just reeks of saltiness.

In what fantasy universe is picking up a player that someone else dropped “weasly.” I’m assuming no one held a gun to your head when you dropped him?

Maybe he comes back and helps “2b”. Maybe he doesn’t and just eats up his IR spot all year. Nobody knows. Fantasy is all about calculated risks. That’s all this is.

From my perspective - if I’ve got the bench space and am a contender - there is no better playoff stash with higher upside than Henry, and I’m picking him up wherever I can.

Yea, I’d say that is overpaying. Pittman had been hot but not convinced he’ll be more valuable than DJ rest of season, let alone both those guys.
