The way the world is going right now? …survival.

TIL about Greg Hildebrandt, who sadly passed away yesterday. He, and his brother Tim, were responsible for an image that takes so many of us instantly back to our childhoods. in c/[email protected]

You can have 40 songs all named the same. No legal recourse. IANAL, JAM.

TIL the film "Close encounters of the Third Kind" is shown every single night at the Devil Tower KOA, making it one of the most screened movies ever. in c/[email protected]

Both statements.

What makes a good whetstone set? What sets should I avoid? in c/[email protected]

Ya. Water stones, imo, demand quality.

However, you can get a hunting knife razor sharp using that crappy little grey stone that came with it, and some spit.

Waaay nicer using quality though.

I have a 1000 and a 4000 in fine water stones.

I have a decent strop. I have a decent steel.

Once the edge is on it, this is all I need.

Note, I also have some very coarse stones and some finer grits as well. I use them to either change the edge in a knife entirely, or you know? Get crazy sharp sometimes with a polished fine edge. Getting crazy sharp never lasts in the kitchen for long though. I’m talking my crazy, everyone thinks my knives are normally razors anyway and I rarely go higher than 4000 grit.

You're a time traveler, what would you do if you went back in time to make the most of it? in c/[email protected]

Do you like olives? in c/[email protected]

We used to make “Whore’s Martinis”.

Same as a regular one, you just hand pour over a single cube of ice and toss in an olive, onion, lemon, whatever. Stir with your finger and go. No straining, no stir stick, no measuring, one cube of ice.

What's the most damning rumor ever spread about you? in c/[email protected]

Yes.

But I got better.
