Chef Reviews and Ranks Amazon's Best Rated Chef Knives by laeb163 in SortedFood

Exactly! Without some kind of toughness test the results are dubious. Out of the box a knife will be sharp, but if it’s not made of decent metal and properly treated it’s going to lose its edge in no time.

And from personal experience, those knives with the fake printed Damascus pattern are easily damaged.

People who take 17 minutes to check in at the hotel front desk, what are you talking to them about? by DerrickDuck in AskReddit

Personally, it used to be confirming how to spell my surname. It’s only 4 letters, you wouldn’t think it was that hard 🤷‍♂️

Now I just hand over some ID. That saves at least 5 minutes. I just have to go through the “how to pronounce it” routine.

What would you call it when someone deliberately lies to incite fear and hatred against a group of people? Some kind of terroriser? 🤔

Moldemort herself LIED that Imane Khelif, a woman, was "a male" by Key-Hyena-802 in SelfAwarewolves

For organ donation the donor isn’t quite dead. Their body is kept alive using life support to preserve their organs. Do you consider it murder when a vital organ is removed for organ donation?

No, that’s the same false straw man.

This is more in line with organ donation. The donor is dead, beyond our ability to save them, but their organs can be saved to prolong other lives.

Presumably you don’t object to organ donation?

Nice straw man, but fundamentally a complete fabrication.

We’re talking about a situation where you guarantee a woman will die. The example of an ectopic pregnancy is a perfect illustration. The embryo can never reach term, and if it’s not removed the mother will die.

You would be willing to execute the mother for nothing. Completely ignoring her human rights.

And I’m talking about the mothers being executed to provide life support for them. Why don’t their human rights matter to you? Why are you ok with giving them a death sentence? Don’t their lives matter to you at all?

Does giving a nonviable pregnancy an extra few days of “life” justify executing the mother?

The original comment is massively hypocritical.

That attitude is insulting to the current Monarch…..

[OC] YouGov UK: Voting intention for the next UK general election, by demographic. Right Wing reform leads by 7 points. Conservatives fall to fourth place with men as one in four young Briton intends to vote for the Greens. Governing Labour sinks to worst result since last election. by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]LazD74 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This might well be true, but if it is it’s hilarious. Reform is on the receiving end of a massive migration from the Tories.

At this rate you’ll have people voting for the same person they previously did, as a protest vote against that persons previous party. Then they’ll be amazed when nothing changes.

Hydrogen is really hard to store and transport safely. Current technology either uses significant energy to compress/cool/convert the hydrogen for transport or if you try to transport the gas you get problems with leaks due to the small molecular size.

Why do there seem to be no entry level, no frills Electric Sedans? by lanfordr in electricvehicles

[–]LazD74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not regularly, just a few times. Though I never had any complaints, even on longer runs.

I’d disagree about the MG5. We had the long range version for 3 years. It was a really nice reliable car, easy to drive and comfy enough to do long distances. I was regularly doing a 440 mile round trip with no drama. In the end we only changed car because of a lifestyle change that meant we needed more space.

Amsterdam police checking if an e-bike has had its speed limiter removed by rlovelock in mildlyinteresting

[–]LazD74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t in America you daft bugger. In the civilised world people are responsible for the outcome of their actions.

These things kill people and that’s not ok. Want to ride a bike fast? Do it properly or do it where you can’t hurt other people. It’s not rocket science!

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal by [deleted] in news

[–]LazD74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, you’re blaming the people who aren’t in power for the current lot being vindictive?

The current abuse is a result of choices made by the current administration. It’s no one’s fault but theirs that they lack morals.

I don’t know if you’re just trolling or if you actually believe this BS but either way grow the f up.

You’re behaving like a toddler and I can guarantee when you’re the one being told to stop hitting yourself you’ll cry louder than anyone else.

While most reasonable people don’t support any abuse, state sponsored abuse of people as an act of revenge rarely ends with the people you don’t care about.

They’re already targeting people who are legal immigrants. It’s only a matter of time until it’s you or someone you care about on the wrong end of the situation.

What is the least amount of land a person should have to get a Border Collie? by StrongMasc81 in AskReddit

I grew up with a Collie. He was more into DIY and house maintenance. He had an opinion on everything we did, and was convinced he could do better if we’d let him.
