I disagree with you. A chef knife that isn’t a piece of crap will run laps around a serrated steak knife. Also there is no appropriate place to put a chef knife in the dishwasher because it is not appropriate to put one there. Just wash it by hand after you’ve finished using it. Takes thirty seconds.

A Santoku knife is a chef knife the way the Japanese like it. If you’re versed in French technique and your trying to use a Santoku it will be sub optimal compared to a western design. A Santoku will work better with the tight, straight back and forth movements of Japanese cooking.

Solid choice, not my own.

Thanks for saving me the write up.

I’ll agree with you on Dream Theater. A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

I want to preface this by saying I understand exactly why this kind of research is going on. But imagine trying to explain this scene to an alien.

Their are kits exactly like this one on eBay for far less. I want one real bad because of Fallout 1, alas I’m not artistic enough to paint a wall, much less build a good looking model.

I09 is a sub-blog of Gizmodo. I don’t know what the formula for sub-blogs getting put on the main page. I would assume it’s getting a more visible posting because the Gawker rump state has been going all out to raise awareness on social issues since that thing happened back in November.

If race wasn’t a component in the story, I would agree with you. If the main character happened to be black, but it wasn’t an important part of the story, then, fine; slap a white chick on there.

Ok I know this is a joke article, but you guys can not believe (even kidding) for one tenth of a second that that is what you guys actually do around here.

Yeah, I think we’re being played. HamNo can not be serious in this post, or my already low opinion of his writing will positively crater. It would be easier to recognize as satire without all the word salad. I’m pretty sure this is a joke article.

It used to be considered good luck to get the bay leaf in your bowl.

Mexican bay leaves have a much stronger flavor than the more prevalent Mediterranean bay leaves.

Denver doesn’t suck. They’ve taken a step back from great to good on defense. On offense they lack an identity (owing a lot to no clear long term idead at qb), but are not moribund to watch.

Yeah, it’s hard to square in my mind that I really like Ware, ‘cause fuck the Cowboys. I just try to picture him in orange.

Manny thinks he’s getting eel and crab, when all he winds up with is vinegary rice. “What? You said unlimited sushi, it’s not our fault you thought that meant fish.”

Reading all the replies to this article it seems like there exists a major divide between the kind of job that will be handled by a hiring manager and the kind of job where you will be interviewed by your likely boss. It also seems like there exists a divide between an office work setting and other settings.

Came here to say this. The best way to catch typos, spelling errors, and poor grammar is to have someone else look at the piece. If that is not feasible, reading fully (no skimming) out loud is the best way to catch one’s mistakes.

I’ve never heard of the one page resume rule. It would seem counterproductive to leave off anything that might help you get a job. Heck, one of the bullet points in the ‘other noteworthy skills’ section of my resume I put down “good at typing up official looking resumes”. I’ve made more than one person laugh with that…

So if I was crazy enough, I could try to travel to Russia and shoot this guy, then the FBI will give me three million dollars? Am I reading that right or do I have to bring him in?
