I had some years ago. They ended up chipped as hell. That’s when I bought some halfway decent (not good, just not Target grade) steel ones that aren’t stainless. I hone the ones I use most a couple of times a week and the rest of them on an as needed basis. I sharpen them as needed.
If your schedule and executive fiction allow for it then I highly recommend it. Ceramic is sharp as fuck, but not enough sharper to deal with buying a new one every time it chips.
By agreeing to let me use your software you agree to send me $10,000/week and deliver a pony to me on my next birthday.
I don’t know if you’re right or if you’re trying to sell me something, but you sound knowledgeable so I’m in. Where do I send my cash?
Yeah, but I need to know what the one after AI is going to be so I can get in on the ground floor.
Is that the MMO where they read Ready Player One and said “Yep, I’m ready to build a mesh peer-to-peer MMO because that means there will be no discernable lag for an infinite number of people, just like in the book”?
I’m considering stealing your comment and selling it to the highest bidder. How much ether do you think it would take to knock you out?
I hope there are security tapes.
The best one being “Damn, this looks stupid”.
I think there’s a time between “This thing is possible I guess” and “you’re already fucked” that I’d like to hear about things.
And ebaum’s world. And rotten. And something awful.
I never put that together with wardriving but that’s exactly what it is. Thank you for that.
Unrelated story: ~20 years ago I was in the military and broke as hell. I went wardriving in my neighborhood looking for open wifi and found a business not too far away that had it. So I built an antenna out of a coffee can, mounted it up just outside my window, and got free wifi for months.
There’s another reply further down that goes into specifics. I ain’t the one because I didn’t come with receipts and I’m just a drunk.
I wish I could go back in time to warn myself not to read this. The memory of receiving those (and other awful shit) is indelibly marked in my brain.
I do not know how true it is, but I’ve heard that some of them will create a mesh network if your neighbor has the same brand and it’s connected to the internet.
I’ve always meant to look into it but I have big dumb TVs that work for now.
It does. There are some upsides, though. One bonus is that, at least in some small ways, some of these shitbag companies that have acted terribly in the past are letting up because we have options. We don’t have to rely on a couple of big studios for every game we play. So EA has backed off of their terrible launcher.
I also think it’s kind of cool that any schmuck can make their dream come true. I’ve definitely put out a bunch of music that I don’t market, just because I always wanted to do it. Anyone with an idea and a laptop can code up a game. The ridiculous amount of shovelware aside, I think that’s pretty cool.
I just wish there was a better way to sift through the dreck to find the good stuff.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by plain old dumbfuckery. These podunk inbreds may do it for kicks (some of them are definitely malicious enough), but I think it’s pretty likely that they got someone named Cooter to do the final installation.
This information is brought to you by a drunk that looks like he could be named Cooter. Or possibly Cletus.
I will be the first to tell you that nothing I’ve ever put out could be considered useful or beneficial. Generally it’s just vaguely funny but also kind of sad. At its best it’s entertaining on the right combination of drugs.
That was my exact thought. Discount sound production gear is my jam but damn, anything I created with it would be forever stained.
Leela: We’ve petitioned the governor. But he doesn’t want to appear soft on people who’ve been falsely imprisoned.
Yeah, I bet a ceramic honing rod is pretty great. I’ve seen them as a part of some of the better knife sharpening sets.
