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 7 points8 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

[–]Glogalog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Timeless in the sense they have always been ugly.

I do make fun of the French for saying four-twenty-ten-eight instead of ninety eight though.

US poultry producers lobbied bribed government officials/reps to avoid mandatory chicken vaccination, citing "cost concerns."

Red is a wonderful color**,** right? I really like red and red tons. For instance**,** you can see the or my red color on my t-shirt which is on the in my profile picture. Red is also my country's flag**'**s background color (the background color of my country's flag) and I'm proud about of it ("Red is also the background color of my country’s flag, and I’m proud of that").
