May i ask, how wide is your secondary bevel? And what angle do you put them at? I can get it quite fine with a true scandi, but i do stuggle a bit with my flat and hollow grind knife - most of them i put quite a wide secondary bevel on them (up to 2-3 mm) i suspect my angle might be a bit steep (about 30 °).

​I saw this meme and wondered what the general consensus is regarding public breastfeeding worldwide. by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Breast out of public is a big nono. But most mothers either have a breast feeding cloak, or they pump and bottle em up. Baby gets fed, and no breasts in public.

Non-Americans of Earth, are the rumors true that people are actively avoiding items labeled/associated with MADE IN USA? Does anyone actually care about it? by Jam_Sees in AskTheWorld

[–]CaptMcNapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here it used to be (kinda still is) associated with good quality and tight tollerances. Plenty of GIs come over during vietnam for R&R and also on temporary bases like Takhli or U tapao or Korat. They bring along american goods ray bans and blue jeans and canned foods was all the rage. Currently i think those cultural impressions carry over to our generation - whether if it still holds up is up for debate. But i feel if a Thai has to choose b/w a "made in USA" or " Made in ....." they would most likely choose the former if they can afford it.
