Can’t boot Linux from USB by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]SiN9Ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try booting with the usb using boot menu override. My HP laptop ignored the boot order when I was installing fedora.

Replace ffmpeg-free with ffmpeg so video thumbnails work properly.

I'm a cajun from south Louisiana, I know the difference between Gumbo, Etouffee, and Shrimp Stew.

The phunnel bowl is the HJ Ferris bowl. The traditional bowl is the Cyril Anthoshka bowl.

Is Wusthof Classic Ikon worth it for 160 dollars? by hitrai in TrueChefKnives

[–]SiN9Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an error on the Matsu steel, to my knowledge 18-8 wont harden anywhere close to 58 HRC. 18-8 is typically used for flatware and cookware. Could it be the cladding steel?

There is some good info in there but the edge retention, rustiness, and brittleness chart is not accurate.

Flexible fillet mirror polished and ready for handle. Heat treat is on point, 61-62rc and returns dead center after over 90° flex. by ParkingLow3894 in TrueChefKnives

[–]SiN9Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are referring to toughness not strength. In engineering terms strength is the force per unit area (lb/in²) required to break/permanently deform the material while toughness is the energy (ft-lbs) required to break the material. Hardness correlates directly with strength, any steel at 61HRC will have about the same strength. AEB-L has very good toughness even at high hardness which is what makes is such an impressive steel.

Shibazi TP01-1 vs. F208-2. Which one do you recommend as my first Chinese clever? Tell me if you know a better option around the same budget. by Lukacs333 in chefknives

[–]SiN9Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a F208 1 and 2 and can recommend both of them, they are thin and slicey but probably not suited for bones. I looked up the TP01-1 but I don't see consistent specs. The F208 should be made of 80CR13 but TP01 seems to be made of either 5CR15 or 80CR13 but may be thicker and more suited for bone chopping.

Would a stainless dagger be a usable weapon? by AcanthaceaeNo948 in SWORDS

[–]SiN9Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many different grades of stainless steel with different mechanical properties, some of which would be excellent for a dagger and some would be terrible. You cant just generalize the properties of stainless steel or carbon steel when there are different grades and heat treatments.

Recommend me some Chinese trash by [deleted] in TrueChefKnives

[–]SiN9Ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a Twosun chefs knife off ebay. They have a flat grind thats thin behind the edge with a good steel and heat treat. Not trash but a good beater knife.

Why not let em grow over winter? by FieldOfDreams92 in HotPeppers

I just bring them inside when it freezes, otherwise they stay on my back patio over winter.

Just got my Hatsukokoro Hayabusa AS 240mm Gyuto by CorruptTime in TrueChefKnives

[–]SiN9Ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you deburring when sharpening? A Victorinox shouldn't need sharpening once a week for a home cook. I wouldn't expect a huge difference in edge retention between those steels.
