    Those are usually the same parents who told their precious snowflakes that they can be anything they want. Money is no object. Education is a noble and worthy goal. Inherently valuable no matter what. Because of this we have kids owing $100k's with nothing but a psychology degree from NYU, or not graduating from Northwest Ohio State College (or whatever) majoring in Radio owing a similar amount. The parents and the students (and the school) all play a role in this stupidity. The biggest idiots are the parents and the students.

    Our society places far more emphasis on prisons than on education. And we are reaping what we are sewing. [sic]

    Except it is. Or at least it's closer to being paid back than you think. Anything else is awarding a double return. The "return" on the original $40k "investment" (yeah, I know) is from a higher earning potential. If the person didn't get paid more then that's on them. Why pay them according to a time value of money scenario? But here's another approach: don't pay them squat. But do wipe out the current crop of student loan debt, or at least set a limit.

    Not following this. Just because some students had to take out student loans doesn't mean higher education wasn't funded properly. Repaying loans for some guy becoming a brain surgeon? Fuck that. Repaying loans for some idiot who took out $100k in loans to major in Radio/TV/Film? Again, fuck that. Repaying loans for the scads of morons who went to a crappy graduate program who now can't find a job? Yeah, fuck that.

    Not an issue of "reparations" at all. (couldn't tell if that term was supposed to be sarcasm) The student loan debacle is a strain on the economy. But hey, let's let the "free market" take care of all this, right?

    Yes. Literally. Can't wait til someone trademarks "Clarence Thomas Is My N*****", where the "*" are replaced by the actual words. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/us/politics/supreme-court-vulgar-trademarks-foia.html

    Dale Gribble, is that you?

    She's your gf, not your wife. What you do with her powers of observation are up to you.

    Trump really puts the "tard" into Dotard.

    There is still so much bad information out there regarding nutrition. All the "light" crap still out there. Hey, guess what, fat isn't all that bad. And it's a heck of a lot better than sugar. And dietary cholesterol doesn't have as a direct effect on blood serum cholesterol as many think. Doctors are some of the most ignorant offenders of bad nutrition advice. But then, many are really more tradesmen than scientists. As they probably should be.

    Out of the so-call "Christian" religions, it's the so-called "christians" who call themselves catholic and baptist.

    Yeah, the people who do this are shit. The placards serve a useful function.

    I just laugh at vegans for any reason. The lab-grown meat is the future. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but it's going to be the only (mass) way.

    I know that lady is just doing her job and all, but man, she seems like a giant piece of human shit. But I repeat myself when I come to lawyers....

    Man, Ian Curtis was something else. I think Atmosphere is my favorite by them. That's the song playing in the movie when his wife was informed of his death. Just an incredible moment, imo. There was a documentary (iirc, on New Order) where one of the members said it was just so easy writing the music with Ian. They didn't know how effortless it was until he was gone.

    https://www.amazon.com/ChefsChoice-EdgeSelect-Professional-Sharpener-Sharpening/dp/B0018RSEMU This puts a 15 degree edge on your blade. ATK recommends this sharpener. *** edit to add *** while watching this, I was reminded: don't use a hard (i.e., glass) cutting board! I know some who do this and it drives me out of mind.

    Use the "cut a piece of paper" test.
  20. Asithappens
    Maybe. There have been countless generations of grandmothers who got along without a $200 Jap knife. If you got the money then go for it.

    As far as actual cooking goes, knives don't really matter. Or, expensive and popular knives don't matter. Get one you can sharpen yourself (sorry Cutco). Don't get a set - that's been mentioned a bunch of times. Hold it before you buy (if possible) to see if it fits your hand. If your ego demands you get a "designer" knife then go for it. Otherwise, the Victorinox chef's knife is what you want. Get a diamond sharpening steel. It will actually sharpen instead of merely hone. If you're looking for an electric sharpener, the Chef's Choice Ultimate Trizor Edge is a good one. And to repeat what others have said, don't buy one of those "block" sets. If you get one as a gift, fine. It's not that the blocks are bad, they aren't, but you can do better for the money.

    Because Hollywood is filled with slack-jawed faggots.

    Nobody is beyond redemption. That being said, an apology doesn’t guarantee admission to the most prestigious, most meal-ticket punching school on earth. Kashuv was pretty much a stone-cold racist just a few years ago. So what's changed? Probably nothing. He can grow and be forgiven at Liberty University. Or Oral Roberts U.

    I have said that they are two sides of the same coin. Imo, anyway.
