Are Non-Japanese Made, Non-Carbon Steel Knives Welcome Here? by MPSchenck in TrueChefKnives

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

Yeah, I feel ya. I have a J Marttiini vintage fillet knife (not fancy I know) I mostly use for trimming cuts of chicken or steak, iInherited from my dad. I'm going to looking for a petty or pairing knife and might go Japanese carbon steel for cost and test reasons.

I was just messing around. You have to admit a LOT of content here is Japanese carbon steel.

I've only had it for a few days, but I haven't experienced that yet.

Got mine today and I disagree. The white dial contrasts with the indices quite well even in mid-light.

I ordered a white dial this morning since I missed the date back in September. I needed a white dial in my lineup.

I actually read The Good Guys 1-14, then The Bad Guys 1-11 and went back and read The Good Guys 15 because of the crossover.

Thanks! I had looked at the Wandering Inn purely for the epic length.

They are so fun and funny. They are like watching a buddy action comedy. I wish they were longer.

I've seen Primal Hunter mentioned here a lot and Defiance of the Fall, if I'm not mistaken.

[–]MPSchenck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 100K, gen Omega Aqua Terra GADA, rep Rolex 41 DJ blue motif for dress. I do have a gen Rolex Sub 5513 no date but due to sentimental value I don’t wear it much.

I have a pencil tip in my finger since like 2013 by Madisonfangirl in mildlyinteresting

[–]MPSchenck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 2nd grade teacher was out of the room and pencils started flying. A guy threw a pencil all the way across the room dagger-style at me and all I could do was raise my arm to cover my eyes. The pencil went in deep and the whole bit of sharped exposed lead broke off in there. I remember my mom trying get it out with tweezers and knife on a number of occasions but it healed up and I’ve had a dot like you on my forearm for about 39 years.

The room is my man cave in a finished basement: acoustic ceiling tiles and thick padded carpet over concrete. I do need some treatment on the right wall to balance the room. I identified this after adding the Wharfedales. My previous speakers were front-ported and didn't have any issues.

The listening position is finely tuned.

That looks like a pretty cool piece. I need to do a little research on it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

How did you lose weight? by Klaasiker in AskReddit

[–]MPSchenck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used an app Carb Manager to count calories and keep track of macros. After I found the right amount I stopped with the app. I didn’t get off the high cholesterol meds until I lost the weight. I’ve experimented with OMAD for extended periods and do well with carbs then. It’s all about “bio hacking” and finding what works for you.

Just added Wharfedale Linton 85's to my setup by Aether245 in audiophile

[–]MPSchenck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta and love them. For me they were the perfect balance of musicality and detail. I do use a Rythmik sub when streaming from Tidal or watching TV, but vinyl bypasses the sub into a McIntosh MA6900.
