that's serrated version
I found this when googling
they make the plain edge of course
I know a great story about a minister here that made an off hand remark about chinese restaurants on his first working day
- extremely light because of the materials used, but quality
- long ass blade in a not so big body
- VG-10 steel: lasts sharp very long, takes a little longer to resharpen but worth it
hot pot is not bad
Not bad but not worth paying for.
Two weeks later 100 raids happened nationwide and millions in fraudulent money were seized
Not even
Whittling wood, cutting twine, usual box opening, forbidden things like prying, @porco
it depends, in Taiwan there are all-you-can-eat hotpots with beer flat rate included which are just super comfy to spend half evening in, talk and eat slow
it's not exclusively about the food
It was something along the lines of "well those chinese restaurants don't seem that trustworthy haha"
>queue 100 raids
And I'm not skilled with sharpening knives, which I'd like to remedy
Thought about starting with a wet stone set
Before buying something nice for once
@Sapharanth consider Ikea knife sharpeners. I'm not very skilled at it either but those automatic ones are better than me trying to do it manually
@porco tasks: cutting lmao (ok actually anything from cutting up fruit snacks at work, to cutting boxes, plastic seals, heck even first aid - removing splinters)
they work surprisingly well
electric sharpeners take off a lot of steel tho
get this somewhere
True, knew a super comfy Korean restaurant that was like old style country houses . Food was okay but over priced but think it's in bussiness because atmosphere
pocketable sharpener, very easy to use (just pull your knife out of it)
I got one of those from some weird event 7 years ago, since then it's my ECD knife https://www.mein-taschenmesser.de/item/images/19/1600x1200/19-Wenger-Kinder-Taschenmesser-10-t.jpg
This is my current EDC knife :)
So as you can see I'm not a man of standards
tbh I go for this pocket sharpener more than I do go for my spyderco sharpmaker
@fireglow then get one like mine
you know what's actually the comfiest knife tho
@fireglow mfw I went through all of germany twice with an illegal pocket knife without knowing I even had it in my backpack
Same, in the UK
I'm the criminal
ignore their garbage ads, cold steel recon 1 feels SO good in the hand
even saved my life once. Some car crashed into my car while driving, I came off the road and my seat was blocked. I was lucky to have it so I could cut my way out of the car seat
it's got a full secure grip like a fixed blade
also they arent kidding about that lock
since then I have it all the time just in case
yea I carry my Victorinox with me at all times too
a really good xmas gift too
>recon 1
>$169.99
wew
i used to carry a fixed blade, current job wont let me though
the lock can support three times my weight without failing
it's crazy
my most expensive is the spyderco endura 4 so far, and I'm in love absolutely
errrrrr did you stand on your knife
it sounds like that lmao
johnfrum something like this one http://www.wokchi.com/our-food/
Nah, he climbed a building using two of those as handles with 2 people hanging off of him
Obviously
haven't stood on it, but have seen people hang from them
Get a leatherman goyim
have seen the tests where people try to break em and
actually outperforms the ad video
@porco put this on your car key https://resqme.com/EN/product/resqme/
I'm SUPER paranoid about car accidents
does anyone have a spyderco dogtag
I have tested this thing several times
i am not a fan of spyderco handles
it works brilliantly
got spoiled being able to wear a fixed blade for years, can't do wimpy thin handles anymore
On what occasions have you broken car windows?
testing the resqme lmao
luckily just during testing
@Tervy think so, less hipster though, they cook it in the back though.
but it seriously blows the window away, even if you have a film on the glass, you just need to press it into every corner
i cant find their name either
@Kaytee Can'st stand thin handles? Then get a knife like mine!
not bad, I don't have a car right now anyway but I'll keep that in mind in case I buy one again someday
@Sapharanth i wish i could still carry puukko
best handles designs
most ergonomic versatile handle also scandi grind is best grind
Small enough to slip in your pocket, tbh
I've been to some bad car crashes, luckily for me I was always "late" so that I didn't need to perform first aid or break someone out of cars etc
I just hope I don't fuck up if I ever get somewhere as the first person
@Kaytee Oh wow, gorgeus design
@Cole Ever had an occasion to prove "why do you need this" people why those htings are useful?
>need
lmao, every day
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
How do you say that in windmill?
>why do you need a flashlight I have one in my phone (even here on csg)
>why do you carry such a big knife (10 seconds later: can I borrow your knife)
as for the resqme thing, usually talking with people who have been to accidents or were in one themselves, I don't need to explain anything, they're like "holy shit buy this for me"
@Cole they're also some of the most comfortable knives to use, any grip
Where'd you get yours, scaly man?
so many knives are designed for scrub boyscout grip and you can't really do anything else with em
puukko stays out of your way with just enough belly to be comfortable wether you have it backwards for whittling or three finger four finger palm supportive, any grip
you kinda have to actually know how to use a knife with em though, no finger guard
@fireglow chinks literally copy the resqme, but I'd check it out on some old car window and seatbelt before carrying it with me daily https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-in-1-Emergency-Mini-Safety-Hammer-Auto-Car-Window-Glass-Breaker-Seat-Belt-Cutter-Rescue/32691903888.html
worst near death experience
>drive 270 km/h on German highway
>3 lanes
>be on right lane
>no cars at all
>truck doing 80 in front of me
>smart car behind truck
>switch to middle lane
>assume smart car wants to pass truck
>switch to far left lane just in case
>approaching
>smart car goes middle lane
>still a few 100 meters away from both
>this absolute madman goes to the left lane doing roughly 90 km/h while I'm almost there
>full break
>lose control over car
>manage to slide between both in middle lane, still being above 200
>gain back control
I've had two trucks overtake each other at night, in the rain, over the horizon
That must've been a ball shrinking experience
I drive over the horizon, two walls in front of me
i slided under the reindeer with motorbike
given it was jumping but still
I swerved and SOMEHOW managed to not fall into the ditch and move just next to the truck
@porco thats already the second crazy car story from you, or is it the same event?
I stopped and I was shaking so much and had to tell myself like 10 times to not turn around and chase the truck down
I used to drive 60'000 km / year for my previous work
most of it in Germany
I've seen some shit
>driving for a living
I know those feels
it was not driving for a living, it was an ISP
but there were data centers all across Europe
and I periodically needed to be in all of them
oh
no
what is it about?
The previous one is good because you can carry it with your keys, for when you're driving with a maniac friend or don't want to mount something permanently to your vehicle
@porco >bad typo in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-yourinterface > systemctl restart network
But then again the spring might fuck up with time
that's why I'd buy the original resqme
but that's just me
so systemd's fault
some things I'm ok with chinking
some.. not so much
oh yeah one of the games I play was hosted on that server
<:hms:311152554618912768>
Battlerite
my inbox got around 100 messages in first hour when they went down
Internet is surprisingly fragile
:)
that OVH case was great example of murphys law
slid under it
125cc barely fits nose first
did eurobeat start playing in the background?
and i after it
>didn't have a helmet cam
man i wish those were a thing back then
and did not cost 500 to own
Also that roadrash must have sucked
nah proper gear
the explanation is totally understandable
sucks though
but the helmet visor got totaled
@porco luckily i have physical access to everything i play with so it wasnt a problem for me but yea i kinda feel like everyone who even dabbles in *nix admin has done that before at least once
Everyone with a bit self-respect is self-hosting at home
that one's gotta be more common than the "Accidentally recursively rm all the important stuuf oopsie"
then you forgot your automated SSH password
ehm there was that one steam bug once
and remember that luckily VNC gets you right in as root when done right
:P
>all chefs I know have had motorcycles
What about the job makes you want death?
which did something like `rm -rf $GAMEPATH/` but some bug cause the variable to be null
I was affected by that steam on Linux version
johnfru, .. customers
it was quite a few years ago
and then it accidentally my whole home folder
also related: moving calibre to a vm was a great idea and i may give it its own raid10 so it doesn't have to wait on the network to build and search its library
I remember some people on /g/ were running steam as root
those fags
kek it's true about chefs and bikes
they fucked their whole OS installation with that bug
@porco wow, must've been that stretch when i just didn't steam at all
it was early days of Steam on Linux
oh, so when i was still running it in wine
>zwilling knife set from eBay came in
>looks like someone used them as garden tools and sharpened them with dremels
there were some people on /g/ complaining about that bug back then and they were actually running it as root
ugh... refund @john
why the actual hell tho
why would you ever just run something as root that doesn't _need_ to be root
:D
I assumed back then it was edgy kids on some more complicated distros who ruined their user management and decided to just run everything as root
Most of it is good though, paring knife feels amazing and rings like a bell. But looks like someone used the blade as a screw driver.
also: wow i'm glad i started playing with virtualisation with xen, learned a lot from, but i also kinda wish i'd switched to kvm way sooner this is so easy
next level up is here john https://www.bladeforums.com/forums/for-sale-kitchen-knives.890/
:P
now to sleep --->
oh about motorbikes
if someone knows cheap Triumph Bonnewille T100 style bike
message me :D
I've been getting into knives dude
They're fun to check out in terms of cutting, sharpening, manufacturing, sometimes just the aesthetic.
Night tervy
@Igmdigm nutnfancy took up an embarrassing amount of time for me a couple years ago
My ๐ ฑroke ass might get a job just so I can fuck with knives and pay for WoW <:taikodrum:230990052233052160>
What job?
Don't do it it's a money sink
I quit when I started paying as much on a knife as on rent
jesus
@Julian I've bought movie poster prints before, all from US but never had to deal with customs like that
maybe it's because Massdrop doesn't list it as a gift
maybe it was massdrop being retarded
Switched to electronic test gear and network gear instead :p
wouldn't buy from them anymore these days
they rebrand chink products as their own
or just have chink products
yep
I still browse it from time to time just to look at cool stuff
A WW1 YouTube channel apparently can't get shirts with 'Gott mit uns' through to Germany.
Customs is weird
really weird hmmm <:thonk:288060975775612929>
cant think of a reason why
Customs in Germany contacted me about my klingon empire flag, too
๐ค
well i can get behind the idea why they were suspicious
looks like a good regular flag
i have arch logo in this colour scheme
show
i am on mobile, if i remember it i post in an hour when at home
@JHWH stupid to care though and even dumber to confiscate fabric for wrongthink.
What is a Nazi going to do, throw in the towel because his outfit isn't matching?
its a general principle
but yeah, discussing the right or wrongs about rememberance with an american is futile <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
Generally, yes. An assholes is going to be an assholes, may as well collect VAT
It's a shame though, the host of the show posts on /k/ every now and then and is the nicest person.
Germans are so cucked<:sadmitu:331056421342806026>
Literal thought police
Germanyยดs situation is not worse than others in the EU\
Meanwhile Switzerland lowers VAT by 0.3% for 2018
Suprising they lowered VAT at all, chinkshit flood here we come.
didnt get VAT on any of my chinkshit so far
lets hope it stays that way
I see why customs would have an interest in dealing with radicalism though <:hyperthonk:327934332545007617>
no different than seizing something that resembles an isis flag
it's literally not a radical flag, though
Would they though? Would stopping someone from buying anything going to stop them from being radical
you could argue that a pirate flag resembles an isis flag and seize it with this logic
I can see why it would be suspicious to them, even if its not
and yes, I can see why it would happen with pirate flag too, if they weren;t aware of its meaning
I mean folded inside a package it probably could look like a nazi flag
probably
on an xray
If an image is that dangerous then the internet is a nuke
are kekistan flags illegal yet
They should be in poor taste alone.
this tbh
But someone needs to feed chink flag makers.
kekistan grew from a meme on /pol/ to something 14 year olds and 30 year old neets praise like its true
who was the anon who wanted to buy a bunch of it's okay to be white flags
