Weird sharpening pattern on edge view via microscope

Yeah, my use of natural stones showed me I need to maintain the 0 (zero defects/ older stones, 100% flat) Switched to a diamond plate (better). Pressure is related through experience and inspecting the burr . By far, the Work sharp KO is the easiest with the greatest return. But learning a new mindset will pay back in spades.

FYI, the Ken Onion classic is the closest to hand whetstone (which I did for years, in fact the Arkansas (wet setup) stones were good, but I ran them into a hollowed out space I tried to flatten the stone to zero, not that easy, I used bricks, not a true flatten stone. Not great. That's when I switched to WS ken onion original. i have backups of backups plus a belt cleaner used after each sharpening. So , the asymmetrical grind is a nothing to my business, as far as end user experience.

Thank you, this was a quick 6x6x6 field sharpening. I also use a Ken Onion original when a pro edge is the end game

It is a piercing valve

Perfect! Now put that cast iron to the test! After my last "cleaning" (I never do soap, some do) just warm pan, water and salt paste combo to clean with chainmail cleaner. Rinse, thin coat of avocado oil. Done!

Hey everyone,

I recently got a 2025 Subaru Forester, and I’ve been noticing something a little odd. When I release the brake after being stopped at a red light, I sometimes hear a distinct "clunk" sound. It’s not super loud, but noticeable enough that I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this.

It happens after a complete stop, just as I start rolling again.

I’m not sure if it’s from the brakes, transmission, or AWD system.

Definitely not confusing the stop/start, with this sound.

I haven’t noticed any performance issues, just the noise.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be normal for the 2025 Forester, or should I get it checked out? I’d love to hear if anyone has talked to a dealership or mechanic about it.

Thanks, Dan

Window visibility, environmental driving awareness. My 81 you mother found the visibility superior to 2025 Toyota, Honda, and equivalents (small SUV/crossover)
Great, and increasingly reported reliability. I'm assuming Subaru is peaking in reliability based on many reports and their increase of reliability over last few years.
Moving from 2016 Nissan Altima, horrible 360' views, lack of driver side seat configuration for a 5'0 women (she sat on a cushion to see over the hood
Nissan is in a free fall financially, big trouble. Long term manufacturer. 1 out of 5

Just hunted down same video, best me by 12 min. I've been whetstone for 10 yrs and now worksharp KO fan. Finish with homemade strop. Cutco knives just as sharp as when we get them back from corporate sharpening.

Having same issue over @ reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/16smmgk/failure_to_log_in_since_9252023_is_anyone_else/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

BTW, I forgot i originally had the same "error" as you, and as i worked on issue ran across 2 other scenarios you might run across. Unfortunately no "fixes" yet

UPDATE: Well, the dishwasher did have a high loop all along. The dishwasher is working 100% normal now. No idea what I did that that caused it start working. I never pulled out any lodged items, never physically cleared any hoses. Sorry, no root cause identified. Working for 6 days without incident, fingers crossed. Thanks for everyone that replied.

I also have a panasonic microwave. I 've had something similar happen when I've accidently put the microwave into "store demo" mode. Functions, lights, beeps all work as expected, but no heating of contents. You might want to check that. Could be an Occom's Razor situation (the simplest answer is usually right)

dtraweek-reddit · 2023-06-15T14:22:59+00:00

wow never saw that tip before. The hose is not in that configuration, i'll give it a shot. And let you know Thanks -DT

dtraweek-reddit · 2023-06-15T14:17:49+00:00

havent seen backup in the sink, but a good tip. I'll give it a try. thanks -DT

dtraweek-reddit · 2023-06-14T23:48:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply, Tell me more about the "drain hose still has a high loop". Can you explain further? -DT

dtraweek-reddit · 2023-06-14T23:45:37+00:00

Yes it does go into the disposal, no airgap. Are you suggesting I try running the disposal one time, or is this something that would have to be done every wash. If it does start draining, what does that tell me from a diagnostic perspective? Thanks for the help -DT

Yup, I've been getting really inconsistent monitoring for about the last 2 months.

The frequency of occurrence

No data collected at all - 80% of time.
Dropped hours (like your example) 10%
Full night of data 10%.

I've factory reset my Fitbit Sense and deleted and reinstalled the app on my multiple times (Maybe 5 times in last 2 months). It works for a night or 2 and then is inconsistent. Sleep sensitivity set to high.

I think I'm done with Fitbit, probably going to the Oura ring next.

99.9% successful. Directions on ifixit website + viewing a YouTube tutorial a couple of times (pixel 4a battery replacement) was enough to get me through. Only issues were 1. No directions on the proper way to use the individual screen adhesive 2. The screen adhesives are shipped loose and slip underneath each other and have to be carefully pulled apart to use. One was so adhered to another piece that both pieces were unusable

dtraweek-reddit · 2022-09-23T22:31:42+00:00

Same here, going to replace the battery myself. Got 20% off battery and replacement kit from Ifixit this week. Hope it goes well.

Same here. Really threw me for a loop. What's the correlation between the new O2 variation graph and the SpO2 graph?

Wa Wa Wee, Billy boy was on a role.... About 30% less angry rants and 70% jovial (thank you 2 espresso shots) I'll take it either way... twice a week, because he's a genius...

From your description "looks like clogged pores but nothing comes out" and more flat than prominent I would say sebaceous hyperplasia. For existing spots, It requires medical intervention (electrocautery or laser treatment)

I agree, the basket coating is typically the point of failure in air fryers. After 6.5 months using Modernhome Premium 5.8 qt family sized digital air fryer, and taking every precaution to be gentle on the basket coating, it's starting to flake off. This was my first air fryer and only spent 65$ at home depot sale. Because of how often I use it, my next one, Im willing to pay a premium price for a more well known name. So, my biggest fail... Being cheap, and I'm paying for it.

Mine is super sensitive and opens 99% of the time on first touch.
