And a chain mail glove.
Not joking. You can get them cheap and they will save your finger tips.
Mandolins usually come with those plastic things to hold the food you are slicing, but I always find them to be awkward and kinda sketchy. Like they can slip off the track and send your knuckle down on the blade etc.

If you’re willing to spend the money, get a Ken Onion knife sharpener. It’s a belt sander specifically designed for knives and tools. You plug it in, adjust it to the angle that you want, and pull your knife through while powering it. It’s way faster than any sharpening stone, and has almost no learning curve. You can put higher/lower grit on it depending on what you need. Got a chip in a knife? Hit it with low grit and grind it down until the chip is gone (yeah you will lose some knife, but as far as I know there’s no way to add metal back to a blade). Want to just touch up your knives? Use medium-high and then high grit. Shit, you could sharpen a butter knife to a razor if you’re so inclined. It’s a bit of an up-front investment, but it’s a great fool-proof way to sharpen knives really fast.
Oh the terminal doesn’t scare me. I’m a Powershell junkie, so the terminal is warm and inviting. I just haven’t had the time to do it. Im also a windows admin by career so I like to be tuned into Microsoft’s bullshit to some extent, it’s part of my job. One of these days I’ll get around to it.
Wait, like all the time?
In the US, every time the Winter Olympics come around there is this temporary curling craze where everybody gets super into it and you would swear it’s their favorite thing and then the Olympics end and it disappears out of everybody’s mind instantly. Like a spell being broken or something. It’s weird.
It’s pretty great! I miss some of the smaller communities on Reddit, like I still go back there for /r/Intune while I am working, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever install the reddit app on my phone.
There are some side affects of Lemmy though. I’m pretty close to installing Linux on my computers. Just haven’t found the time.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Doing something for money doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it. It’s called a job, and I have one.
I drove manual for nearly 20 year of my life and then I got married and had kids and now I have a Minivan and it’s the fucking tits.
Hey… Trillian was awesome.
My Peloton can do this, how come my TV can’t? This technology exists and would not be that difficult to implement for digital media.
The one I recognize is in a very white pro-trump type area on the outskirts of a very blue area. Seems like they are setting up base where they feel safe and are a stones throw away from the areas they want to terrorize.
I always bring this point up when somebody older goes on about “Participation Trophies” - Who invented them?! I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t the kids who were getting them. The same damn people that complain about them are the people that brought them into reality.
Your mom’s bulging cans are pretty bueno.
I like spicy things. I eat spicy things all the time. One time maybe 10 years ago I ate a “stinger” pie from a pizza place. It was a pizza with hot peppers and hot pepper oil. It was so spicy and so so good.
The events that occurred in the next 24 hours were something to behold. I was sitting on the toilet, sweating, shaking, and making my peace with God. It was an all day event. Full throttle.
Since then, my intestinal fortitude has been severely diminished. I have to be careful about eating things too spicy or it will mess me up. It’s like I built up a thick intestinal lining over years and years, and this one event tore down the walls. They were blasted out.
Life has not been the same.
Who the fuck has you keep your shoes on? I keep mine on, but if somebody comes over and asks if they should take their shoes off I just say “whatever makes you comfortable. On or off, doesn’t matter to me”
That’s weird.
I’m not the person you are responding to, but I am a fellow shoes-oner. I find the soles of my shoes to be way more comfortable than walking on the ground. Like I go to shoes-off homes and they have these foam mats on the floor in their kitchen and it’s like “imagine those foam mats were on the bottom of your feet and went with you everywhere”. Additionally I live in a place where it gets cold. Cold feet suck.
Now before the “well then wear slippers” gang comes in. I have tried that. The soles of slippers pale in comparison to whatever the fuck my Allbirds are made out of. Additionally, slippers are often TOO warm. I don’t want cold feet, but I also don’t want sweaty feet.
If I have to wear boots or larger/warmer shoes because of snow/rain, I will absolutely take those off at the door. But when I take them off, I am putting on my Allbirds.
For me, ultimate foot comfort is my sneakers. I’ll take my shoes off if you have a shoes off home, but I’m not going to enjoy it.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion. And that certainly is one.
Plan B for sure. It smells like “Fine, gerrymander CA, we’re gonna rig the shit out of this election anyway. Good luck, byeee!”
I think it’s a post-bubble-pop boycott. These manufacturers are not ramping up production because they know the demand won’t be permanent. So when things return to normal, whenever that is, we continue to not buy their products.
The problem is this relies on two things One - people actually remembering Two - Data centers, enterprises, and OEMs, who make the large majority of HDD purchases also boycott.
