@porco going to go bankrupt too, only so much novelty in soup.

2017-11-12 21:10:44 UTC

that's serrated version

2017-11-12 21:10:44 UTC

I found this when googling

2017-11-12 21:10:52 UTC

they make the plain edge of course

2017-11-12 21:11:33 UTC

I know a great story about a minister here that made an off hand remark about chinese restaurants on his first working day

2017-11-12 21:11:36 UTC

- 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

2017-11-12 21:11:40 UTC

hot pot is not bad

2017-11-12 21:11:53 UTC

Not bad but not worth paying for.

2017-11-12 21:12:08 UTC

Two weeks later 100 raids happened nationwide and millions in fraudulent money were seized

2017-11-12 21:12:08 UTC

@Turbo was it a stray pet joke?

2017-11-12 21:12:22 UTC

Not even

2017-11-12 21:12:32 UTC

Whittling wood, cutting twine, usual box opening, forbidden things like prying, @porco

2017-11-12 21:12:33 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:12:49 UTC

it's not exclusively about the food

2017-11-12 21:13:00 UTC

It was something along the lines of "well those chinese restaurants don't seem that trustworthy haha"
>queue 100 raids

2017-11-12 21:13:01 UTC

And I'm not skilled with sharpening knives, which I'd like to remedy

2017-11-12 21:13:06 UTC

Thought about starting with a wet stone set

2017-11-12 21:13:12 UTC

Before buying something nice for once

2017-11-12 21:13:31 UTC

@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

2017-11-12 21:13:41 UTC

@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)

2017-11-12 21:13:42 UTC

they work surprisingly well

2017-11-12 21:14:05 UTC

electric sharpeners take off a lot of steel tho

2017-11-12 21:14:18 UTC

get this somewhere

2017-11-12 21:14:30 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:14:36 UTC

2017-11-12 21:14:38 UTC

pocketable sharpener, very easy to use (just pull your knife out of it)

2017-11-12 21:14:42 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:14:42 UTC

This is my current EDC knife :)

2017-11-12 21:14:47 UTC

So as you can see I'm not a man of standards

2017-11-12 21:14:54 UTC

tbh I go for this pocket sharpener more than I do go for my spyderco sharpmaker

2017-11-12 21:15:02 UTC

@fireglow then get one like mine

2017-11-12 21:15:14 UTC

you know what's actually the comfiest knife tho

2017-11-12 21:15:16 UTC

@fireglow mfw I went through all of germany twice with an illegal pocket knife without knowing I even had it in my backpack

2017-11-12 21:15:30 UTC

Same, in the UK

2017-11-12 21:15:34 UTC

I'm the criminal

2017-11-12 21:15:37 UTC

ignore their garbage ads, cold steel recon 1 feels SO good in the hand

2017-11-12 21:15:38 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:15:44 UTC

it's got a full secure grip like a fixed blade

2017-11-12 21:15:57 UTC

also they arent kidding about that lock

2017-11-12 21:16:04 UTC

since then I have it all the time just in case

2017-11-12 21:16:10 UTC

yea I carry my Victorinox with me at all times too

2017-11-12 21:16:28 UTC

a really good xmas gift too

2017-11-12 21:16:36 UTC

>recon 1

wew

2017-11-12 21:16:37 UTC

i used to carry a fixed blade, current job wont let me though

2017-11-12 21:16:42 UTC

@Cole worth though

2017-11-12 21:16:52 UTC

the lock can support three times my weight without failing

2017-11-12 21:16:54 UTC

it's crazy

2017-11-12 21:17:00 UTC

my most expensive is the spyderco endura 4 so far, and I'm in love absolutely

2017-11-12 21:17:16 UTC

errrrrr did you stand on your knife

2017-11-12 21:17:19 UTC

it sounds like that lmao

2017-11-12 21:17:42 UTC

johnfrum something like this one http://www.wokchi.com/our-food/

2017-11-12 21:17:44 UTC

Nah, he climbed a building using two of those as handles with 2 people hanging off of him

2017-11-12 21:17:45 UTC

Obviously

2017-11-12 21:17:49 UTC

haven't stood on it, but have seen people hang from them

2017-11-12 21:17:51 UTC

Get a leatherman goyim

2017-11-12 21:18:00 UTC

have seen the tests where people try to break em and

2017-11-12 21:18:04 UTC

actually outperforms the ad video

2017-11-12 21:18:10 UTC
2017-11-12 21:18:18 UTC

I'm SUPER paranoid about car accidents

2017-11-12 21:18:23 UTC

does anyone have a spyderco dogtag

2017-11-12 21:18:29 UTC

I have tested this thing several times

2017-11-12 21:18:36 UTC

i am not a fan of spyderco handles

2017-11-12 21:18:39 UTC

it works brilliantly

2017-11-12 21:18:52 UTC

got spoiled being able to wear a fixed blade for years, can't do wimpy thin handles anymore

2017-11-12 21:19:00 UTC

On what occasions have you broken car windows?

2017-11-12 21:19:09 UTC

testing the resqme lmao

2017-11-12 21:19:13 UTC

luckily just during testing

2017-11-12 21:19:27 UTC

@Tervy think so, less hipster though, they cook it in the back though.

2017-11-12 21:19:36 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:19:41 UTC

i cant find their name either

2017-11-12 21:19:41 UTC

@Kaytee Can'st stand thin handles? Then get a knife like mine!

2017-11-12 21:19:42 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:19:55 UTC

@Sapharanth i wish i could still carry puukko

2017-11-12 21:20:01 UTC

best handles designs

2017-11-12 21:20:13 UTC

most ergonomic versatile handle also scandi grind is best grind

2017-11-12 21:20:22 UTC

Small enough to slip in your pocket, tbh

2017-11-12 21:20:39 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:21:02 UTC

I just hope I don't fuck up if I ever get somewhere as the first person

2017-11-12 21:21:06 UTC

@Kaytee Oh wow, gorgeus design

2017-11-12 21:21:42 UTC

@Kaytee pukko are really pretty that's true

2017-11-12 21:21:51 UTC

@Cole Ever had an occasion to prove "why do you need this" people why those htings are useful?

2017-11-12 21:22:08 UTC

>need

2017-11-12 21:22:17 UTC

lmao, every day

2017-11-12 21:22:20 UTC

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

2017-11-12 21:22:34 UTC

How do you say that in windmill?

2017-11-12 21:23:07 UTC

@Cole I've been involved in two

2017-11-12 21:23:26 UTC

>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"

2017-11-12 21:24:01 UTC

@Cole they're also some of the most comfortable knives to use, any grip

2017-11-12 21:24:34 UTC

Where'd you get yours, scaly man?

2017-11-12 21:24:38 UTC

so many knives are designed for scrub boyscout grip and you can't really do anything else with em

2017-11-12 21:25:06 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:26:01 UTC

you kinda have to actually know how to use a knife with em though, no finger guard

2017-11-12 21:26:07 UTC

@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

2017-11-12 21:27:22 UTC

I've had two trucks overtake each other at night, in the rain, over the horizon

2017-11-12 21:27:29 UTC

That must've been a ball shrinking experience

2017-11-12 21:27:32 UTC

I drive over the horizon, two walls in front of me

2017-11-12 21:27:42 UTC

i slided under the reindeer with motorbike

2017-11-12 21:27:59 UTC

given it was jumping but still

2017-11-12 21:28:06 UTC

I swerved and SOMEHOW managed to not fall into the ditch and move just next to the truck

2017-11-12 21:28:38 UTC

@porco thats already the second crazy car story from you, or is it the same event?

2017-11-12 21:28:42 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:28:50 UTC

@JHWH it's the second

2017-11-12 21:29:08 UTC

I used to drive 60'000 km / year for my previous work

2017-11-12 21:29:13 UTC

most of it in Germany

2017-11-12 21:29:16 UTC

I've seen some shit

2017-11-12 21:29:33 UTC

>driving for a living

I know those feels

2017-11-12 21:29:44 UTC

it was not driving for a living, it was an ISP

2017-11-12 21:29:55 UTC

but there were data centers all across Europe

2017-11-12 21:30:04 UTC

and I periodically needed to be in all of them

2017-11-12 21:30:25 UTC

oh

2017-11-12 21:30:29 UTC

@porco did you read the OVH case 2 days ago

2017-11-12 21:30:38 UTC

no

2017-11-12 21:30:40 UTC

what is it about?

2017-11-12 21:33:00 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:33:15 UTC

@porco >bad typo in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-yourinterface > systemctl restart network

2017-11-12 21:33:17 UTC

But then again the spring might fuck up with time

2017-11-12 21:33:32 UTC

that's why I'd buy the original resqme

2017-11-12 21:33:34 UTC

but that's just me

2017-11-12 21:33:35 UTC

so systemd's fault

2017-11-12 21:33:40 UTC

some things I'm ok with chinking

2017-11-12 21:33:43 UTC

some.. not so much

2017-11-12 21:34:14 UTC

oh yeah one of the games I play was hosted on that server

2017-11-12 21:34:37 UTC

my inbox got around 100 messages in first hour when they went down

2017-11-12 21:35:16 UTC

Internet is surprisingly fragile

2017-11-12 21:36:05 UTC

@porco accidentally an iptables rule then end your ssh session

2017-11-12 21:36:07 UTC

:)

2017-11-12 21:36:26 UTC

that OVH case was great example of murphys law

2017-11-12 21:36:37 UTC

@Tervy wait, like you slid under it or drove through it?

2017-11-12 21:36:47 UTC

slid under it

2017-11-12 21:37:00 UTC

125cc barely fits nose first

2017-11-12 21:37:01 UTC

did eurobeat start playing in the background?

2017-11-12 21:37:02 UTC

and i after it

2017-11-12 21:37:26 UTC

>didn't have a helmet cam

2017-11-12 21:37:35 UTC

@Kaytee I can totally understand that

2017-11-12 21:37:35 UTC

man i wish those were a thing back then

2017-11-12 21:37:41 UTC

and did not cost 500 to own

2017-11-12 21:37:42 UTC

Also that roadrash must have sucked

2017-11-12 21:37:47 UTC

ah I meant @Tervy

2017-11-12 21:37:49 UTC

nah proper gear

2017-11-12 21:37:54 UTC

the explanation is totally understandable

2017-11-12 21:37:58 UTC

sucks though

2017-11-12 21:38:00 UTC

but the helmet visor got totaled

2017-11-12 21:38:18 UTC

@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

2017-11-12 21:38:47 UTC

Everyone with a bit self-respect is self-hosting at home

2017-11-12 21:38:48 UTC

that one's gotta be more common than the "Accidentally recursively rm all the important stuuf oopsie"

2017-11-12 21:38:52 UTC

more than once @Kaytee it has become a hobby

2017-11-12 21:39:03 UTC

then you forgot your automated SSH password

2017-11-12 21:39:07 UTC

ehm there was that one steam bug once

2017-11-12 21:39:16 UTC

and remember that luckily VNC gets you right in as root when done right

2017-11-12 21:39:17 UTC

:P

2017-11-12 21:39:31 UTC

>all chefs I know have had motorcycles

2017-11-12 21:39:39 UTC

What about the job makes you want death?

2017-11-12 21:39:45 UTC

which did something like `rm -rf $GAMEPATH/` but some bug cause the variable to be null

2017-11-12 21:39:52 UTC

I was affected by that steam on Linux version

2017-11-12 21:39:55 UTC

johnfru, .. customers

2017-11-12 21:39:57 UTC

it was quite a few years ago

2017-11-12 21:40:03 UTC

and then it accidentally my whole home folder

2017-11-12 21:40:04 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:40:12 UTC

I remember some people on /g/ were running steam as root

2017-11-12 21:40:14 UTC

those fags

2017-11-12 21:40:14 UTC

kek it's true about chefs and bikes

2017-11-12 21:40:26 UTC

they fucked their whole OS installation with that bug

2017-11-12 21:40:33 UTC

@porco wow, must've been that stretch when i just didn't steam at all

2017-11-12 21:40:48 UTC

it was early days of Steam on Linux

2017-11-12 21:40:59 UTC

oh, so when i was still running it in wine

2017-11-12 21:42:14 UTC

>zwilling knife set from eBay came in
>looks like someone used them as garden tools and sharpened them with dremels

2017-11-12 21:42:30 UTC

there were some people on /g/ complaining about that bug back then and they were actually running it as root

2017-11-12 21:42:44 UTC

ugh... refund @john

2017-11-12 21:42:46 UTC

why the actual hell tho

2017-11-12 21:43:00 UTC

why would you ever just run something as root that doesn't _need_ to be root

2017-11-12 21:43:03 UTC

@Tervy it'll cost more to ship back...

2017-11-12 21:43:07 UTC

:D

2017-11-12 21:43:30 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:44:06 UTC

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.

2017-11-12 21:45:09 UTC

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

2017-11-12 21:45:24 UTC
2017-11-12 21:45:26 UTC

:P

2017-11-12 21:45:29 UTC

now to sleep --->

2017-11-12 21:45:38 UTC

oh about motorbikes

2017-11-12 21:45:56 UTC

if someone knows cheap Triumph Bonnewille T100 style bike

2017-11-12 21:46:01 UTC

message me :D

2017-11-12 21:46:31 UTC

I've been getting into knives dude

2017-11-12 21:46:51 UTC

They're fun to check out in terms of cutting, sharpening, manufacturing, sometimes just the aesthetic.

2017-11-12 21:47:04 UTC

Night tervy

2017-11-12 21:47:32 UTC

@Igmdigm nutnfancy took up an embarrassing amount of time for me a couple years ago

2017-11-12 21:47:45 UTC

My ๐Ÿ…ฑroke ass might get a job just so I can fuck with knives and pay for WoW <:taikodrum:230990052233052160>

2017-11-12 21:48:30 UTC

What job?

2017-11-12 21:48:57 UTC

Don't do it it's a money sink

2017-11-12 21:49:20 UTC

I quit when I started paying as much on a knife as on rent

2017-11-12 21:49:39 UTC

jesus

2017-11-12 21:49:39 UTC

@Julian I've bought movie poster prints before, all from US but never had to deal with customs like that

2017-11-12 21:49:51 UTC

maybe it's because Massdrop doesn't list it as a gift

2017-11-12 21:49:52 UTC

maybe it was massdrop being retarded

2017-11-12 21:49:52 UTC

Switched to electronic test gear and network gear instead :p

2017-11-12 21:50:59 UTC

@Julian probably

2017-11-12 21:51:05 UTC

wouldn't buy from them anymore these days

2017-11-12 21:51:16 UTC

they rebrand chink products as their own

2017-11-12 21:51:24 UTC

or just have chink products

2017-11-12 21:51:28 UTC

yep

I still browse it from time to time just to look at cool stuff

2017-11-12 21:52:50 UTC

A WW1 YouTube channel apparently can't get shirts with 'Gott mit uns' through to Germany.

2017-11-12 21:53:06 UTC

Customs is weird

2017-11-12 21:56:18 UTC

really weird hmmm <:thonk:288060975775612929>

2017-11-12 21:56:26 UTC

cant think of a reason why

2017-11-12 21:56:36 UTC

Customs in Germany contacted me about my klingon empire flag, too

2017-11-12 21:57:22 UTC

๐Ÿค”

2017-11-12 21:57:36 UTC

well i can get behind the idea why they were suspicious

2017-11-12 21:57:53 UTC

looks like a good regular flag

2017-11-12 21:58:03 UTC

i have arch logo in this colour scheme

2017-11-12 21:58:09 UTC

show

2017-11-12 21:58:28 UTC

i am on mobile, if i remember it i post in an hour when at home

2017-11-12 21:59:04 UTC

@JHWH stupid to care though and even dumber to confiscate fabric for wrongthink.

2017-11-12 22:00:07 UTC

What is a Nazi going to do, throw in the towel because his outfit isn't matching?

2017-11-12 22:00:31 UTC

its a general principle

2017-11-12 22:01:28 UTC

but yeah, discussing the right or wrongs about rememberance with an american is futile <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2017-11-12 22:01:57 UTC

Generally, yes. An assholes is going to be an assholes, may as well collect VAT

2017-11-12 22:03:42 UTC

It's a shame though, the host of the show posts on /k/ every now and then and is the nicest person.

2017-11-12 22:04:15 UTC

Germans are so cucked<:sadmitu:331056421342806026>

2017-11-12 22:04:24 UTC

Literal thought police

2017-11-12 22:05:00 UTC

Germanyยดs situation is not worse than others in the EU\

2017-11-12 22:05:10 UTC

Meanwhile Switzerland lowers VAT by 0.3% for 2018

2017-11-12 22:06:01 UTC

Suprising they lowered VAT at all, chinkshit flood here we come.

2017-11-12 22:07:38 UTC

didnt get VAT on any of my chinkshit so far

2017-11-12 22:07:44 UTC

lets hope it stays that way

2017-11-12 22:09:47 UTC

I see why customs would have an interest in dealing with radicalism though <:hyperthonk:327934332545007617>

2017-11-12 22:10:07 UTC

no different than seizing something that resembles an isis flag

2017-11-12 22:10:28 UTC

it's literally not a radical flag, though

2017-11-12 22:10:40 UTC

Would they though? Would stopping someone from buying anything going to stop them from being radical

2017-11-12 22:10:44 UTC

you could argue that a pirate flag resembles an isis flag and seize it with this logic

2017-11-12 22:10:49 UTC

I can see why it would be suspicious to them, even if its not

2017-11-12 22:11:09 UTC

and yes, I can see why it would happen with pirate flag too, if they weren;t aware of its meaning

2017-11-12 22:11:20 UTC

I mean folded inside a package it probably could look like a nazi flag

2017-11-12 22:11:21 UTC

probably

2017-11-12 22:11:27 UTC

on an xray

2017-11-12 22:11:29 UTC

If an image is that dangerous then the internet is a nuke

2017-11-12 22:11:59 UTC

are kekistan flags illegal yet

2017-11-12 22:12:17 UTC

They should be in poor taste alone.

2017-11-12 22:12:27 UTC

this tbh

2017-11-12 22:12:47 UTC

But someone needs to feed chink flag makers.

2017-11-12 22:13:24 UTC

kekistan grew from a meme on /pol/ to something 14 year olds and 30 year old neets praise like its true

2017-11-12 22:13:27 UTC

who was the anon who wanted to buy a bunch of it's okay to be white flags
