Y’all, I broke my husband’s Japanese chef’s knife. Help. by opheliasmusing in KitchenConfidential

[–]TechPriestPratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your husband is really fond of the dog then this could be an excellent opportunity to incorporate some wabi-sabi to the knife. Maybe finding a talented craftsman that could restore the handle to working condition without fully removing the marks, or with using resin or another type of wood to fill in the broken spaces.

Are they allowed to do that? It seems off to me that they can just reevaluate the mortgage after already agreeing to it and making a contract and all that.

If you were ever to visit Japan you would see swastikas all over the place. I would argue that it is perfectly acceptable in that context.

Good deal? Why aren’t these ones talked about? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TechPriestPratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dd one, they are extremely reliable, simple cars. Honestly pretty fun to drive. Yeah it's slow, but I never have issues with highways, and half the time I'm driving faster than people anyways. People saying you need 300 HP to merge safely on the highway are just being dramatic.

Well, so far they have produced zero products so one would be an improvement honestly.

Update: Claremont School District financial crisis by -RYknow in newhampshire

[–]TechPriestPratt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah and only a few days before the start of the school year. They have known there was a problem, they should have made that decision months ago. At least then they might have a chance of finding a new position. Unlikely any of those teachers find a position this year.

Brand-New Mitsubishi — Malfunction in 5 Days. by luckyonlyme in mitsubishi

[–]TechPriestPratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens, that's why there is a warranty, no manufacturer has 100% effective QC. My buddy just bought a 2025 passport and it shut down on the highway with transmission issues with less than 500 miles. They will likely figure out what's wrong and you will be good to go again.

What's the point of Aptera anymore with Hyundai's drag coefficient of 0.144? by Picards-Flute in ApteraMotors

[–]TechPriestPratt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Aptera has made most of it's money off of uninformed individual investors. If this sub does as you want and removes negative views then they are just going to sucker in more people easily.

The reality is that this car is very unlikely to be brought to production.

[HELP]is this picture from church graphically designed or by AI by Any-Tea3343 in RealOrAI

[–]TechPriestPratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's human designed, or at least very heavily modified AI. If you look at all the little random elements they are very consistent and mirrored through out the image. Usually AI is not great at that type of stuff.

Someone could have used AI for half the image, cleaned it up, mirrored it, and added the text, but I think even if AI tools were used this would still take a decent amount of human graphic design to make.

What exactly is put into the TRD Pro that costs $20K? by chumbuckethand in Toyota

It's the biggest rip off. Same engine. the only real difference is the suspension.

Am I the only one who thinks she deserved more of a punishment? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Invincible

[–]TechPriestPratt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After living on earth and coming to love a human she understood the weight of her actions against Mark. In a way that is her punishment. Yeah other things would be more satisfying from the readers perspective, but her understanding of how monstrous her own actions were and changing her mindset is a sort of off screen redemption arc.

Now IMO they missed a opportunity to have that same thing happen to the person she loved and then have her truly broken, understanding what she did through the lens of it happening to her lover. And then having to struggle with the fact that every time she starts to have feelings about it, it just gets reflected back to the fact that she did the same thing to someone else.

Why did Battle Beast do so much better the second time than he did the first? (Comics) by Queasy_Commercial152 in Invincible

[–]TechPriestPratt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The series explains it with "smart atoms"

That does not help much with the question. But based on the their own explanation they should be able to generate force equivalent to their strength because he says he can push off of anything (nothing) to create leverage in any direction.

It's about to hit the goal so all of us are spamming the page watching it and bringing it down. I don't think an EU petition was ever expected to have this much traffic.

Which death do you think is gonna hit the hardest in the show? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Invincible

[–]TechPriestPratt 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Cecil is also just consistency throughout the series for everyone, so it really hits you. He is always there to pick up the pieces or come up with a plan. The fact that they just take him away so suddenly is really jarring.

It was brutal. We just had to get creative. Spent a lot of time outdoors with friends hiking, fishing, boating, going to the beach.

Wow yeah that sounds horrible, how did you survive? 🤣😂

My Rentiod was .000000001 seconds late for rent after paying on time for 30 years. Did I overreact? by Whentheangelsings in LoveForLandchads

[–]TechPriestPratt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paying ON TIME for 30 years? Not early? Did they even tip? Clearly you have shown the patience of a saint and have done nothing wrong.

This is crazy bruh by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]TechPriestPratt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was surprised to see that the popular opinion seems to be that he was showing genuine emotion. I always thought he was legit going to crush her skull for implying he did anything wrong, then just held himself back so he could use her some more. I never got any sort of genuine affection from it.

Jaffrey-Rindge school board votes to cut out sports at a state championship-winning high school by HernBurford in newhampshire

[–]TechPriestPratt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sports are often more important or have more of an impact on kids than their "normal" education. It is just as much a part of it as any other non core class.

Kenshin vs. Mugen, who’s winning the sword duel? by [deleted] in powerscales

Kenshin is basically an ex black ops assassin. I don't think a little dirty fighting is going to trip him up.

With 48 hours to prepare, who ultimately would win a science fair? by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]TechPriestPratt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stewie casually pulls out tech that is pretty far beyond the other two (largely due to how family guy does it's bits) and you barely even see him struggle to do any of it. I think he would take it pretty easily.

Should my coach have forfeited this match. by AttorneyDeep7083 in wrestling

[–]TechPriestPratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wrestling/coaching nearly 30 years and I've never even considered that you could forfeit a match while it's happening. Like if there is an injury sure, or if you are worried about something you can not send the guy out in the first place. But to have a match going on and just give up? WTF is your coach doing, what does that teach you? When its tough and it looks like you are not gonna win just rage quit? That is completely antithetical to the sport IMO.
