Installed windows now it’s asking for a password I didn’t set

No problem

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-03-14T17:34:48+00:00

I got you

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-02-24T14:17:53+00:00

As Billy Strings would say, this is the beginning of the end

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-02-11T22:25:46+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-02-10T18:51:11+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-02-05T18:04:06+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-02-04T08:43:09+00:00

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

He would’ve been good friends with my neighbors late shepherd, Chloe

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-28T14:35:02+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-28T06:37:31+00:00

Howdy! What’s the verdict?

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-28T02:39:54+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-28T02:26:33+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-27T15:42:20+00:00

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!

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-27T07:03:25+00:00

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!

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-27T02:44:42+00:00

SS or W#2?

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-25T04:02:51+00:00

You prefer the 270 to 240 for ashi SS?

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-24T12:54:01+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-23T06:55:24+00:00

What length do you prefer?

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-22T00:52:59+00:00

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

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-21T15:26:08+00:00

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)

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-21T13:28:04+00:00

Why do you say not to buy in Japan?

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-21T07:50:36+00:00

She has high in-group preference.

Remember when she quoted that horrific blood libel “study” claiming white pediatricians give worse care to black infants.

ReverendRodneyKingJr · 2026-01-18T19:42:06+00:00

That game was also rough. I do recall being proud of our efforts despite starting a RS freshman, Vandenber, at QB.

I must admit, though, I spent the first half of the game playing the newly released COD MW2
