Wealth can absolutely be hoarded. Christ, look up the word “hoard”. The actual definition includes money or other valuables. That’s because “wealth” is just an abstraction of “property”. You can make new property, destroy it, use it or just put it on a shelf and stare at it.

I’m in the top 50% and I barely get by with the expenses of my single home.

Also have 1080Ti. I’m standing pat until there’s actually an app that can use ray tracing. Lighting demos are cool for maybe 30 minutes. Otherwise, it’s a marginal boost for a lot of coin. $500 for a 70 series? GTFO. $1000 for the Ti? STFU&GTFO.

Well, am I capital limited or am I time slot limited? Answer depends on business conditions. Also, if 1 Sharknado = 1 expanse ep, I'd still need 10 Sharknados to fill equivalent air time. Not sure there's enough of an audience for 10 of those a year.

So if they hooked up during shooting, they're hitched? Better tell Keanu.

SyFy killed The Expanse and greenlit this whilr approving 2 more seasons of Killjoys.

He’s flat out wrong. As in “you can buy the supplies and test this over an afternoon yourself” wrong.

I once had the same feeling as you. Eventually, I realized I just hate Tim Burton. It made everything simpler. OG Batman is alright though. Burton being minimally Burtonesqe.

Yaxell (and Enso, C&M’s house brand made by Yaxell) are awesome, often beautiful knives. I can't, at this time, justify they cost of their Damascus lines, but one day I'll own a full set of Enso SG2.

1) Most honing rods *do* sharpen. They’re sticks of hard material with a coarse, abrasive finish. Of course they sharpen. Not only can you see streaks of material (especially if using a ceramic) caused by grinding off the edge, but I’ve used rods to change the edge angle of soft blades like Wusthof/Heinkel/Fibrox.

I’ve actually spent much of the year trying out a variety of knives. The steel in the Fibrox (X50) is soft. It might hold whatever edge you put on it (most western knives are sharpened at 20° per side), the edge will fold over almost immediately if I put the kind of super-acute angle (12° per side) I put on my knives.

I’ve seen the Nexus knives and was intrigued. How’s the finish and handle? Are they fat behind the edge? Any chipping?

I you only have $5, you really cannot beat Kiwi. I wouldn’t say they’re good knives. They are great for the price.

They hide this with BS marketing, but Global uses almost exactly the same kind of steel as rando western knives. That’s basically the pitch: thin Japanese style blade made with soft, durable western steel. A thin blade you can beat on.

Maybe I just beat on mine, but *every* western knife I’ve owned required a daily-ish hone. It’s the soft steel. You can usually feel the edge starting to fold over almost immediately, especially at the agressive angles some of these knives come with out of box. You have to reduce the edge angle (blunt it), which then…

DP series *does* (sometimes, but not always) need a little love with some 1000 grit sandpaper out of the box. 10 minutes and you’re done. Still, $150 knife for $50-70.

A $30 chef's knife is more expensive than a $20 ceramic hone, and the hone will actually keep your knife sharp for a decade.

Tojiro DP, vastly better steel (thus thinner and sharper) than a Fibrox, Global, Heinkel or other western knife, but ⅓ the cost of a Shun, Misono or similarly composed Japanese-style knife. Unlike a Fibrox, which needs a honing before every session to stay out-of-box sharp, a hard-steel knife should be fine with a…

Kirk’s line is only out of character if you assume every single thing a person ever says has to be a literal fact.

Worf was an incredibly shitty father, but you know that 90% of Enterprise hijackings would have been avoided if everyone just took Worfs reasonable advice. All he ever said was “I don’t trust the new guy, let’s not give him run of the place” and they always ignored him. Cue hijack scene.
