I have some better quality kitchen knives I like keeping sharp.

I use a two-sided whetstone 400/2000 grit for basic shaping (400 is akin to those rolling sharpeners, to be used only when you fucked up real bad), a leather strop with green sharpening paste (~6000-8000 grit) glued to a piece of wood, a plain leather strop, and a honing steel.

Green sharpening paste is most of what I ever use, a couple of strokes weekly (more realistically about 20 once a month), and maybe polish it up with the plain leather strop. Keeps the knives wicked sharp, and then I just hone them after each use.

Sometimes I do stupid things and get burrs in my edge (like cleaving frozen bone), that's where the 2000 grit saves me.

400 I guess is for when the apocalypse comes or your kids decided to practice chef's knife throwing into scrap metal. It's nice to know I can remake a whole edge, but rarely used.

UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.

You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.

Go picket, with enough people showing that justice matters, they'll have to find a less corrupt judge.

Tl;dr:

Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it's cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

How is it messy for the employer to keep wages at market prices?

You don't have to match anything or contend with mass quitting if you just pay the going rate to start with.

We're learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.

(they're awkwardly asking for a poly 'shipping, most probably as a way to express that you guys are too cute :)

They say they're Christian, they do things in the name of their Christian belief, they act in accordance to a Christian agenda.

Seems like they're at least as Christian as the next one, if not more.

Maybe, it also has symbolic value, and might demoralise the civilian populace, whose support is crucial to the continued state support.

It still seems a weak move as infrastructure should be a more effective target, but who knows how many layers of distractions and attacks of opportunity really happen in the field?
