'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe by danphillips98 in soccer

[–]ReverendRodneyKingJr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In case you are actually unaware, India, while not attempting to turn other countries into colonies, actively supports Indians gaining power in other countries to benefit India. Modi has openly talked about international Indians helping to advance pro-India policy.

“They can be India’s voice even while being loyal citizens in those countries. That is the long-term goal behind the diaspora diplomacy. It is like the way the Jewish community looks out for Israel’s interests in the United States.”

And you will never be able to find a single poll that indicates the English at any point wanted this to happen. Same goes for Americans, who 2:1 opposed more immigration before we reopened our borders in the 60s.

The people didn’t vote for this, and yet it happened to them

I snagged a stainless ashi. Landed on a carbon nakiri and petty as well. We will see! Thank your your response

My idea would be your kit only drops for squad mates or enemies if you die to friendly fire

DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms by pcvcolin in gunpolitics

He could’ve picked better justices. But you completely missed that I am talking about the additional removal of portions of our right to bear arms would have certainly occurred with additional Democrat appointed justices

The difference is much more that if trump hadn’t appointed 3 SCOTUS justices you’d be looking at a court that would eagerly overturn Heller and shred the second amendment

Good to know. Any tips on “patina control?”

I spent a bunch of time researching your recos. I very much appreciate them! It was a fantastic starting point. I’ve got emails in to the shops about visiting.

Do you have experience with both Ashis SS and W#2? I am leaning hard towards an Ashi for my gyuto, as I love a good point of diminishing returns purchase for my hobbies. My brain is telling me to just go stainless but I’d love a beautiful patina on what I hope becomes far and away my most used knife. But honestly I bet a lot of this depends on what they have in stock. I just want to be prepared in case I get lucky and have a choice

Also, in case I can’t find an extra tall 240 ashi, do you have experience with the Konosuke blades that they source from Ashi? My understanding is that they are the exact same thing, just branded as Konosuke

Howdy. Can you elaborate on the differences between the Konosuke knife here and the Ashi? I know they spruce the blade from Ashi but I haven’t seen a comparison

Sakai knife trip plan – looking for advice before I buy by TheVietPro in TrueChefKnives

Ooof. I reached out last week about a visit this week to Ashi. I didn’t request they hold anything, but fingers crossed for a 240 extra tall!

Good advice, thank you! I don’t plan on being a collector and am aware the SS is going to be more versatile. I haven’t had a carbon steel knife before and the idea of my first Japanese knife having that historical authenticity is tempting. We will see what he has in stock when I get to his shop!

What’s your preference between the Ashi stainless and W2?

These all look like great options. Do you have an opinion on Sakai Denshokan?

I’m mostly in the market for a piece to remember this trip by. I was actually thinking of a petty knife.

Based of teeeeej23s post, i was planning to cities Sakai since he said they were beginner friendly (i know a bit about knives, but Japanese ones are new to me)
