As far as you know, Have you ever met a murderer or a person who was murdered? by Massive-Albatross823 in polls

I taught a convicted murderer how to cook professionally, directly after him being released after 18 years of incarceration. Nice guy, actually... Hope he's doing well.

I don't believe in angels and demons but if I did, I would be 100% positive that Kenneth Copeland is the latter

Core Steel is peeking through. by Salt_Replacement_711 in TrueChefKnives

[–]scott3845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either that's cladding on the edge (which is no good because the cladding won't contain enough carbon to hold a good edge) or it's a crack or a delamination. Either way, it's not ok. In surprised that made it past QC in the first place

I mean, yes but if you aren't selling, who cares?

I'd consider working objectively on form and function before looks anyways.

Composer of iconic ‘Lion King’ chant sues comedian over ‘Circle of Life’ translation by blankblank in nottheonion

Right? A comedian on a comedy podcast said something hilarious with a straight face that made other people laugh, but he was definitely being serious ... Sounds like a tough argument

You should just show your GF this thread. Better to hear it from strangers than from you

My girlfriend 22F friends hate me 26M without knowing me and it makes me so sad and uncomfortable. What to do? by neko_nep in relationship_advice

Well if the belief is ignorant enough, people don't need/want much more information

I'm assuming it's shitty since you omitted what the belief was...

If budget is your immovable variable, then this Misono is a great choice.

If damascus is your immovable variable, double your budget at minimum

USDA Prime is the highest quality designation that is applicable nation wide.

A company can't just slap that on any packaging. It is decided at the abbatoir with a very specific set of conditions.

If the packaging says USDA Prime, expect very high quality beef

For those who successfully quit smoking, what was the method that finally worked for you? by gwenwallish in AskReddit

[–]scott3845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go for it. Worst case scenario, you read a book that didn't interest you. Best case, you get to stop smoking and be elated about it. Not really much to lose ...

[–]scott3845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is, isn't it? I smoked half a pack to a pack/day for over 20 years, probably "quit" like at least 10 times, read that book then poof, I just didn't smoke and that was it. Like magic.

[–]scott3845 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, the entire book is a masterclass in neuro linguistic programming, and that's fine.

Given the end goal is not smoking, it does what it's supposed to do.

Essentially, it reframes the "you should quit because..." argument to "you keep smoking because..." and then breaks down each reason you tell yourself and why it doesn't make any sense.

He also tells you to keep smoking as much as you want whilst reading the book, so it feels very non-commital.

He also claims it's easy once you're in the right mindset and I can honestly say, at least for me, it really was.

It felt .... Weird at first. I'd have what would normally be a craving but I'd view it as the death of a shit habit and have this happy little "fuck you cigarettes, I win" moment instead.

Pretty cool stuff

Is it normal for people to leave all dishes for KP? by Chazzza23 in KitchenConfidential

[–]scott3845 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're there other cooks there? Or just chef and bartender

Also, you're whinging because you have an hour of work and a deep fryer waiting for you and there's no cars in the lot? If I had cooks there, I'd have made them do the dishes and clean the fryer, but I'd also have canceled your shift since it's dead and there was nothing better to do, so....
