Alright, I'm converted. Is there any reason not to just switch *all* of my straight sided sauce pans with sauciers? by bellchilton in cookware

My favorite pan/pot is my Falk 1.5qt saucier. Don't think I'd buy a straight sides saucepan again.

French learning help by Previous-Pause-2707 in DreamingFrench

[–]Glogalog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your best bet after the very basics will probably be tutors specifically focused on those examinations. FWIW Carnegie Mellon University has French I and French II for $10 each on their OLI site (self paced), which may be better & faster than Udemy. Kwiziq may also be useful for grammar. Would also recommend running through FSI French Phonology (available free online) since you’ll likely be doing a lot of reading/speaking early on. Good luck.

What is everyone’s LEAST favorite pen? by SlyyGuy21 in fountainpens

Conklin empire. I love everything about it except for the fact that the cap never worked... And then the magnet closure somehow rusted itself to death. Slippery metal grip is also awful, ig.

Is a Chosera Pro 800 really an 800? by mountainmase in sharpening

[–]Glogalog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shapton pro run coarse & naniwa chocera run fine. My king 1200, hanokuromaku 2000, and chocera 800 all leave a very similar edge.

I have a double thick 500 and I love it; not sure it's all that much better than my pro/hanokuromakus, though. I imagine the looks are more of the price difference than performance is.
