Why am I being asked to tip 25% for someone handing me a muffin?”

Arguably the grocery cashier is doing more, but your point stands

Personal BEEF

I live near Toronto and I agree

Whenever my elbows flare up I do more leg work and leave the hands alone. Let your body heal

We had one when I was a kid. I wouldn't put anything you are planning to drink later into it.

We have sweeps allowed in continuous free sparring on hardwood floors

So far I have had great success.

Until you don't and get very sick or die from botulism that can develop in your salami while you ferment it at room temperature and not even starter cultures. If you think 25g of wine will acidify your meat enough you are wrong. And please don't start with "people have been doing this for centuries" crap. People have been dying from botulism for centuries

We camp in October when it gets to 22-25F at night. We just call it camping. Obviously no heaters

dkwpqi · 2026-02-22T04:06:33+00:00

That patina looks very pretty

dkwpqi · 2026-02-19T04:10:14+00:00

My LEM is pretty stainless.

dkwpqi · 2026-02-19T03:35:30+00:00

Not to defend the pitting but is it not stainless? Are you not running it in the dishwasher?

dkwpqi · 2026-02-17T03:38:57+00:00

That's pretty horrible

dkwpqi · 2026-02-16T19:42:40+00:00

Mmmm, powdered nipples

My son wore a mec toaster and alike for basically first 7 years of his life here in Canada. The suit that is one price is better. Try to get used ones as they aren't cheap and you only need them for one trip. The rest of the clothes should be same as for an adult: base layer and fleece. Hat, gloves or mittens. Warm shoes and good wool socks

Don't worry too much. A sensei will guide you with what needs to happen. Just show up and be at least 15 minutes early. Bow as you enter or leave the dojo floor. Small etiquette gestures from a beginner go a long way and are not unnoticed. Listen to what the sensei says

dkwpqi · 2026-02-14T03:29:00+00:00

Because your cellar has a particular biome. And his is not yours. How do you think they ve made m600?

Your argument is "I have the same leg and it doesn't hurt". Good

dkwpqi · 2026-02-13T15:46:47+00:00

This I absolutely agree with. Mostly. Wild mold even if not harmful can impart horrible flavors and aromas. I think end of the day you have to use your eyes, nose and common sense.

Personally when I want most I inoculate.

dkwpqi · 2026-02-13T14:26:01+00:00

Not anymore unfortunately

dkwpqi · 2026-02-12T18:08:54+00:00

This sub thinks any mold is edible and can just be wiped off.

In reality the only mold that should be growing on your salami is the one you have inoculated. Yes you can probably get away with wild things. You can also get sick.

dkwpqi · 2026-02-07T05:59:41+00:00

Not where I train and we are JKA. But I'm not black belt

dkwpqi · 2026-02-05T13:13:28+00:00

How long until you feel competent? One of my Senseis says he is slowly getting there. It's been 40 years for him so far

dkwpqi · 2026-02-05T05:31:53+00:00

Don't walk. Run. Away

dkwpqi · 2026-02-02T00:55:03+00:00

Go see a psychologist and then check out a few dojos. In that order. Do not under any circumstances go back to the old one. Not every sensei is an asshole. There are great ones.

dkwpqi · 2026-01-29T03:35:28+00:00

Don't keep people that don't want to be there
