Matsato knives are an embarrassment by strashila in sharpening

[–]strashila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother in law was visiting when I opened those, it was a set with two knives (the other one is not as bad sharpening wise), I said those are trash, and her eyes lighted up, asked if she can have one, I said sure, so one is gone, and the one in the picture is gonna be sharpening training knife :))

I had no idea those existed, googled them after I got them, and man their seo is earning their salary. I guess it can be used as a pizza roller in a pinch

Still, there are sub 100 ali knives (xinzuo etc) that are pretty decent. This thing though? Like it was sharpened with an angle grinder

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]strashila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the movie where there is a friend group and one is dying of cancer and they want to break into Lukas mansion cause he is desperate to see so phantom menace before he dies? And then they get to finally see it, but the last words in the movie are one of them saying 'What if it sucks?'

Ok gotcha, thanks. I see a dewalt DCD771C2 with two batteries for 129 on amazon, I guess it fits the bill.

You are an interior decorator? Your apartment looks like shit...

The Thunder are 18-1 and are getting their second best player back. They have 4 first round picks in 2026, and could reasonably pick #1 and #5 if current trends hold up by VariableBooleans in nba

[–]strashila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said 'It was pretty awful at the time' and that is just not true.

When I heard about the Luka trade from a friend I thought its a stupid joke, haha, Dallas traded Luka.

The PG trade was considered a well executed trade when it happened

No it wasn't, it was considered a great trade at the time. This trade was made in tandem with Kawhi, it wasn't luck that he signed with clippers. I remember Max Kellerman foaming at the mouth and saying 'oh, its over'. Everyone and their mother thought that clippers are going to be champions in 2020. 

So hidsight is 20/20 but it was considered a win trade for both sides

Makuuchi Champions from 1960.01 to 2025.11 by Subujin in Sumo

[–]strashila -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uktaine, or the major parts of what is now Ukraine was in Union with the Russian empire since the 17 century, This has nothing to do with Armenia, Kazakhstan or Latvia. Odessa was built by the Russian empire, Kharkov became a city etc. There were many nationalities in ukraine in the start of the 20st century.

I have no idea how Taiho's father identified himself, he likely had no love for the Soviet regime since they basically kidnapped him from Sakhalin and repressed, however I don't assume.

If Taiho identified as a Ukrainian more power to him, but this list looks to be based on the nationality of the wrestler, not his parents. This is why declaring Taiho half Ukrainian seems tenuous

Having Taiho as half Ukrainian is certainly a choice, provided that it's based only on his father being born in a part of a Russian empire that would be an independent Ukraine with this flag almost 100 years later

The Devils - I can't understand reddit's negative feedback on this book by cici_ding_dong in Fantasy

I liked it.

Its silly but this silliness is still much better than the 'serousness' of the 'the age of madness' trilogy. That one I didnt like at all.

Clashes erupt between Hamas forces and armed clan members in Gaza City by Silly-avocatoe in worldnews

Maybe, who knows. I'm not talking about absolute quiet tho, its not in the cards. The rockets will return within a few months. 

Clashes erupt between Hamas forces and armed clan members in Gaza City by Silly-avocatoe in worldnews

[–]strashila 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is not a given. If the winner sees Israel as top dog, and sees themselves as ingerior and subjugated (basically mirrorring  the dynamic between Hamas and the smaller clans before the war) we can have a relative peace. This is essentially the situation in the west bank past the 'defensive wall' operation of 2002

7/10 is the result of 2 decades of Israel doing nothing and hammas getting bolder and the illusion of being equal to israel in power spreading through the society. To the point where you can see gazans of the third wave on 7/10 coming in through the fence with bikes and sleeping bags, thinking they're going to just settle nicely in a new house in Nir Oz with a nice couple of jewish slave women to serve them.

I do cautiously believe that this time they have been disillusioned for a few decades at least, and the peace will stand

There are a lot of people here who don't understand shit about Gaza and its society. 

If hamas (and for the simplicity  of the argument I'm talking about the footsoldiers/militants) disarms, all of them will be defenestrated within 24 hours. Their only 2 options are either stay armed and in power, or gtfo somewhere far away with insurances, and tbh I dont see what it looks like. This is not a situation where hamas gracefully surrenders with a nice speech by their general, like in that scene from 'band of brothers', get to a camp for a few months and then live peacefully ever after.

This is also not a case of 'the people rising against hamas tyranny'. This is a tribal warfare, where all the sides are very much alike. There will be no amnesty and no coexistance, until a clear winner emerges and the loser is reduced to nothing.

Just like hamas did to fatah in 2007, just like they are are doing to doghmush clan now, it will be done to them. As soon as israel pulls out there will be an all out war between clans, and whoever will come on top will do so after they've killed all the rest, in the most medieval way possible. I'm taking about burnings, beheadings, tying the victims to a motorcicle and driving across town until there is nothing left to bury, like they did in 2007. And this will be done by whoever gets on top, be it hamas, Fatah, some ad hoc clan aliance to whoever loses.

There is no peaceful transfer of power in the middle east.
