needs to be 288 Hz tho

I heard the response time on these cheap AOC panels is sort of shit if you do gaymen

Is the ultrasharp 1440p too?

I'd personally go for the AOC or 1440p dell

the colours on the 1440p AOCs are decent from what I heard

1440p, 144Hz, IPS is all you need

too bad they are expensive af

xiaomi monitor when??

would be too costly to import

like their tvs

why would you need IPS on a desktop display

i get it on a laptop

but a desktop screen is always pointed at ur fat head

colors are way better

than shit TN

Have any of you used one of these with pocketknives? Or should I use something else?

my dad uses a stand for sharpening stones, works good for any kind of knife

What a shitty stand power.

Stand Master: Stoopeedo's Dad

is this a jojo reference

mutha

fucking

The power to sharpen stones

What kind of stand?

you set a stone in it in a fixed position and proceed to sharpen the knife

Okay

there are positions for different sharpening angles

I can't remember anything about how it looks but it's pretty nice to use

Yeah, there are stands that you put a stone in, then there's an adjustable clamp to hold the blade at exactly whatever angle is desired. Then you just push it back and forth across the stone.

Did you see the tool I sent a picture of?

Those little hand deals work okay, but some. Of them are proned to rounding the tip off.

Is it any good

It probably has like a 45 degree, 30, and 15 for different types of blades. Definitely looks better than the quickie sharpener I used at work before.

So it will be okay?

You think?

Here's a closer pic

It'll do a good enough job if you're not keen on just getting a stone and doing it by hand.

I dunno if you can replace the files in them, though. Pretty sure they're meant to be disposable.

Oh nice. It's three different grits.

Yeah, as long as it doesn't fall apart that'll be pretty nice.

any guides on how to file disputes on ali express (what to do/what not to do)? I Bought a Megir watch which mostly works but part of it sticks out because its broken and hurts my poor hand

Thank you @Valkrys !

No problem. Yeah if you have a blunt knife to sharpen, you start with the coarsest one, then work you're way down to the polisher. Trick is to make sure you keep the blade square, and consistently use the same angle.

Yeah that'll take some training

Is it hard generally?

I don't think so, but not everyone has good motor skills. It's a lot harder to fuck up with one of those things though.

I'm glad to hear

Wet stones are the beat, though, man. Would turn garbage knives into excellent meat trimming tools. They just didn't hold an edge worth a fuck.

so the only downside of TN is viewing angle?

Sooooo.... Go or nogo?

I'm a newb, just ordered my two first knives

How much is it?

9$ USD with shipping

Shit, there's no reason not to get it.

Here's a link for you

If you're interested

does that really work?

Yeah they work.

better than a sharpening stone? or just easier

No.

Easier more convenient.

might get one

That one looks pretty nice actually, since it has the 3 different grades. The one I used before just has the one 45 degree file wedge.

And you had to hold it in a way where you had a distinct likelihood of cutting yourself.

Sounds quite dangerous

It looked like a kite handle with the file on one corner running parallel with the handle.

god damn

Yeah, haha.

Only place I use regular knives is as Kelloggs where we have stones and grinders. Otherwise I use a utility knife with razor blades.

Oh

I bought some knives because I want to get into whittling

That shit is fun.

It sounds fun

Did it in a class in high school.

Did you get kicked out of class?

No, it was part of the class.

Oh, I see.

Waddling, leather working. Can't think of what else we did.

Widdling*

What did you widdle?

We all were tasked with Widdling a little gnome.

http://i.4cdn.org/g/1490642505163.jpg

uh oh

Did it end up nice?

China doesn't like money?
(dumb statement, I know)
What's going on, Tribit?

Tensions between China and the US I guess

http://thediplomat.com/2017/03/the-future-of-us-china-trade-relations/

Serpentza also mentions this in his latest video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlxUZmXuKVw

but now MisterTao is closing their doors... does that mean that US was its biggest importer?

we don't know what these new regulations are yet

but it must be pretty big if it makes a taobao agent shut down entirely

Wait, who's side are these new regulations on?

Fuck, is chink shit going to become illegal imports now?

@Austin sorry at the dmv. I honestly don't remember how mine turned out, I think it was decent. We all got head started with the blocks being pre cut to show the profile of the gnome.

what chink e-reader do you know of

I've got some epubs I'd like to read

Oh okay

Which is the best way for beginners. Rather than Widdling from scratch.

Yeah, I'm watching a video right now where one describes how he's cutting a basic wooden owl

Looks kind of cool

You get a printout or something to trace on, then cut out a general shape and work from there.

@kennethlujan how about a refurbished nook/kindle from eBay

I was gonna suggest one of these, but the price went up because reasons. I think a /g/ thread increased demand. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Reader-Pocket-Silver-PRS-300SC/dp/B002MSNS4S

This is better and cheaper, but it doesn't charge, so you better be smart enough to fix it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Sony-reader-prs-600-/222447570166?_trkparms=aid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D20150519202348%2526meid%253D1de9766cf7d44c97b7a2efe6ca0f36ca%2526pid%253D100408%2526rk%253D6%2526rkt%253D25%2526sd%253D122407157849&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460

why do you like the sony

Because they're resold really cheap.

And they're perfect for epubs.

@Tribit Bhiner is doing business as usual though

Bhiner?

Taobao Agent

So far MisterTao is the only one actually shutting down because of these regulations***

it's still unknown what these regulations actually are or mean

Maybe they were doing illegal stuff, who knows

Maybe

@0utsider Cuz I already have a kindle as a gift.

But they specifically mention that it's due to new Chinese government policies on international trade

Superbuy, Basetao, Taobaoring all still doing business as usual

Could it be possible MisterTao is shutting down for some other reason and saving face?

Also possible

possibly

yeah

That's why we need to know more

Someone message them asking what legislation?

Mr Tao?

Literally whi

At least he doesn't have a weak chin, I guess.

Why hasn't anyone bought a Jack Ma head yet?

They're on sale on ali

Is this an ego thing, or do people actually want these?

oh my gooood

Jack Ma is how I can get a shit-ton of chink shit.

i want the chin chan one 😮

So to be honest, I'd own a Jack Ma trinket.

Yeah, I imagine he swears by it.

He's said before that they're basically the same thing as designer gear.

But, y'know. He would say that, being Jack Ma.

These autographed Jack Ma photos are of course chinked photocopies, which is a damn shame

there's a countdown on the frontpage

there is? oh well, I see it now. i normally never scroll down

that 30$ zircons guy is an excellent shitposter, gotta say that

you guys know some good ear buds
I'm dying at the Piston 3, KZ ATE, and KQZ DM400

eyeing

VE Monks are said to have good sound

((EIAOSI for derailing the general, but not to actually listen to music))

avoid Monks if you have baby ears though, they're really uncomfortable

I also kinda looking for ones for gaming too since my only other gaming audio equipment are HD598's and they don't work to well for lans

avoid heavy bass then

Pistons were bass heavy if I remember correctly.

yes I just skimped through through the hifi man reviews

I'm probably gonna end up buying the 3 that I mentioned

except for the kz

@JHWH Piston 3 is neutral

not at all bass heavy

I stand corrected then: dont mind me

hd 600 ❤

you don't need to pay much

all you need is
🔫

hd 600 are like the direct contenders of he-400i strangely

i'd say, if you're on the more musical side of things, hd 600

if you want that tad more speed and analytical sound, he-400i

also hd 600 is a bit more warm where as the 400i sounds more coldish

also from what i've heard, the warmth in the mids section of hd 600 makes is special

while the speed of the 400i makes it more satisfying in the lows

Zombii is scaring me

i think he has a problem

@42N That's the problem they were chink thigh highs

>programmer socks

lol

u wot

either length is a major trimming problem, or you got chinked

they were sold as thigh highs but go just over the knee, and if you look through product listings they all have the same measurements

I'll just stick to Sockdreams tbqh
