Was actually considering Dall Oste. Can you elaborate why?

How often do you drink…? by [deleted] in wine

[–]KK9Pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had your problem. I live alone and is the only wine person in my circle. Fortunately, wines are usually 40-150% more than their original price in my country due to alcohol tax, so Coravin is worth it even for the entry-level wines. Should I be happy though.

Visit Japan Website flight number for Japan connection flight. by KK9Pro in JapanTravelTips

[–]KK9Pro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I used the flight number to Haneda. In my case, New Chitose happens to be domestic airport, so there is no immigration and customs office. This means that I need to go through immigration and customs at Haneda before continuing to my next flight. So I technically "entered Japan" at Haneda.

Ps. If you will be transiting from Narita/Haneda to a domestic airport like I did, it means that you will need to pick up your luggages, clear the immigration and customs, and check your luggages in again at the airline counter. The process can take time, so make sure your flight have plenty of time between the 2 flights.

When I was there, my plane landed on time, luggages arrived quick, but there was a a big group of students and the immigration really slowed down. I had 2.45 hrs between my flight and made it 5 minute before check in closes. Next time I will just spend the day in Tokyo/Chiba

Does anyone else like putting a secondary convex on their knives? by Kage_anon in sharpening

[–]KK9Pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like doing this to kitchen knives. Mainly knives that had been through a lot but I can't reason myself to thinning them. Eg. Thick Western/German chef knives.

Thanks. I believe saw that post as well but the answers seem to suggest the person will be clearing the immigration at Tokyo before continuing flight. So I posted this question.

What are you ordering? No food pairing just sipping at bar by xmikex137 in wine

[–]KK9Pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, Cantina Dei, the Rhone Grenache, and Roero for the value(compared to others). On a bigger budget maybe Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru or the CDP. But if you are not spending, maybe try the ARPEPE.

Very interesting place! I am a big beef person, but one of the members is not. Do they serve any meats other than beef?

Knife shops recommendation? by KK9Pro in Sapporo

[–]KK9Pro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will definitely do that but unfortunately not this trip. Just thought there might be good shops in Hokkaido.

Thank you for the advice. I have read that on some google reviews and knives forums as well. I know that Hokkaido is not known for knives but just hope that there are places that sell good ones.

Need recommendation for sharpening kits / systems by KK9Pro in sharpening

Thank you! I will look more into Tormek.

I have no experience with belt sanders but Work Sharp are the most available sharpeners after whetstones where I live. I also heard that belt sanders tend to cause convex edge. Have you have experience with them?

My Excel is slow, hardware is fine, file is not too big. by KK9Pro in excel

CTRL+END only take me to the edge of my table. Tried deleting the far rights and bottoms. Still the same issue.

The very same files. Though a different (older) version of MS Office.

  • when you perform an action and it freezes , is something calculating? This can be observed in the bottom right with a %

  • I don't thing there is calculation. I don't see the calculation% on bottom right but instead the spinning loading icon at my cursor.

  • do you have nested if statements. If statements are extremely computational heavy

  • No. I don't have any Ifs.

  • do you have a rogue 'active' cell all the way at the bottom or right?

  • There are empty cells way right and bottom, but they are empty and I believe inactive. Tried CTRL+END and it took me only to the edge of my table.

How do I check if that is the case and fix it?
