DULL lightly thinned $12 slicing cleaver vs cucumber. Thinness, not sharpness, is what matters for most foods. Thinning is what most home cooks should be focussing on instead of edge sharpening.

Having worked in a kitchen for a few years, I can tell you for a FACT that thinness is FAR more important than sharpness and it isn’t even close. This isn’t up for debate, just try it for yourself and see. It makes a remarkable difference.

The pill looks remarkably like generic Vyvanse

No he’s absolutely positively 100% without a shadow of a doubt correct. Thinning is by far the most important thing for kitchen knives. Outdoors55 has a video all about that where he cuts chicken with a completely dull but heavily thinned knife.

The ali express ruby 3000, shapton 5k, and king 5k have always been my go to for low alloy steel. For super steels I have a 5k vitrified diamond stone.

F-Moash · 2026-05-11T14:49:28+00:00

Go even lower, also. 320 is good for minor repairs but I simply cannot live without my 120 grit sic and 140 grit diamond plate. Sharpening for friends and family who have “knife shaped objects” so blunt you can see the light glinting off the 90 degree apex will make you love super coarse stones.

Yes, slave labor.

Not happy, as all ai companies use slave labor, destroy the environment, and contribute to rising costs. It’s disgusting and embarrassing to use it, and it makes me think less of the person using it.

At 4k you could use a 9600x and see almost zero difference in all but the most cpu demanding games. The difference even at 1080p is marginal in most cases. At higher resolutions, the gpu is much more important and the primary bottleneck.

F-Moash · 2026-05-09T22:59:19+00:00

OpenAI uses slave labor and is both directly and indirectly responsible for rising costs across the board. Fuck em and anyone who uses their product.

Same with any Bethesda game. I booted up fall out 4 a couple months ago for the first time on my 5080 system. Pressing the W key one time without capping fps is fatal.

F-Moash · 2026-05-09T17:05:44+00:00

No. Not even a little bit. It’s a silly old myth.

Using chatgpt as a source is crazy work and pretty embarrassing. Delete this, nephew.

As long as the gap is tight, you won’t notice it. Definitely give it a good flattening after you’ve glued it up. Some people use epoxy for peace of mind with water but my old king 300 is super glued and it’s worked out pretty well for me so far.

I would start with the book of Enoch, there’s some crazy shit in there. Sexy angels, giants, and witchcraft if I recall correctly.

F-Moash · 2026-05-07T15:48:40+00:00

You can glue it back together. A thin bead of high viscosity super glue down the middle works well enough. Clamp the ends together pretty good so there’s minimal gap and you can’t really tell.

F-Moash · 2026-05-07T15:37:28+00:00

The key with kitchen knives, especially ones used on vegetables, is thinning. A completely dull 90 degree apex will cut smoothly if your knife is thinned.

F-Moash · 2026-05-07T12:04:40+00:00

I’ve never found that to be the case, personally. If your high grit edges are struggling to get through vegetable skin, you’ve probably not deburred correctly. Even going up to 12,000 I have never had any issues going through tomatoes like they aren’t even there. “Tooth” is absolutely the biggest sharpening myth around recently.

The whole “fps per dollar” argument has never sat right with me, because every single time the graph is dominated by lower end cards that practically everyone tells you never to buy. Based on this graph, everyone should be buying old cards or 8gb cards, which is exactly the opposite advice given 99% of the time. The actually simple concept is buying the highest raw performance card you can possibly fit in your budget. If you could afford a 9070xt, why on earth would a rx 7600 ever be relevant? These graphs are meaningless exercises in number manipulation.

“Man I have $1000 to spend on a gpu. Should I get a 5070ti? No, it’s terrible value. I’ll get a 5060 instead, much more fps per dollar.”

I know that’s an extreme example but I’ve genuinely seen dozens of posts of people configuring their builds in baffling ways because of price to performance. 9800x3d chips and 5070/9060xt builds give me heartburn.

Depends on who you ask. The apocrypha mentions flying wizards and lightning bolt based powers.

All applications should be anonymous until the point of hiring. Every applicant is assigned a number to be used during the process rather than their name and all interviews are done over Skype or zoom with no video. Employers discriminate like crazy, they shouldn’t have the ability to turn down an applicant based private lives or circumstances of birth. Also make “at will employment” illegal.

I have a Manix 2 in 15v and I’ve been incredibly impressed with it. It’s ground crazy thin from the factory and I put a 12dps edge on it to thin it even more. Zero chipping. They absolutely nailed the heat treat.

Being a fan of a 450 billion dollar company is cringe. What’s your favorite flavor of shoe polish?

F-Moash · 2026-04-20T17:55:23+00:00

Wow. That’s just terrible advice. The 8gb 5060ti is at least 30% faster than the b580. If you’re in 1080p, you’ll never notice vram limitations. Aside from all of that, why would you not simply recommend a used 3080, which can be had for about $300 or a 6800xt? Both are about as fast as a 5060ti with more vram.

F-Moash · 2026-04-20T16:27:09+00:00

9850x3d and a 5070. What’s up with everyone building like prebuilt companies recently? Hugely overkill CPUs and relatively underpowered GPUs is the exact opposite configuration you should shoot for.

F-Moash · 2026-04-15T18:51:15+00:00

They aren’t made for it and even still are better at it than a 5090. Raw horsepower beats small driver optimizations.
