For more info for Biff, the Japanese knives (Global) have 15 degree blades, whereas German (Henckels) are 20 degrees. So the Japanese knives have finer edges (not necessarily sharper), but for a pro chef like Bier who wants to slice sushi, they can be useful. Our carving knives are mostly Wusthof, and our steak knives are Henckels, and we love them both. We do have a few Japanese blades (Wolfe) which I'm not as happy with, but maybe we use them too much on everyday stuff and should save them for the finer cuts like Bier says. If I were a guy starting a good knife set, I'd stick with the Krauts, either Henckels or Wusthof. If both are comparably available in your area, you could handle a few and see if one feels better in your hand. If one is easier to get, I'd probably just go with those. Now that I've flaunted my ignorance, I'll let Bier correct me.

Miss these guys. RIP fellas.

What did you do with the dog?

Interesting. Puts a different spin on the "chick you'd like to bang" category. I'm a bit busy later in the week but I'll give it a go. In.

Nice! Celebration, or just another day for a Geek?

Say hello to my little friend!

Juuuusssstttt a bit outside.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I've since heard that the 600K number is for 2 years, so it's basically maintaining the status quo, not doubling the number of students. Presuming this is true, this topic seems like a nothingburger.

I'm confident that Squissy would love to give your money to many causes.

I appreciate your ignoring my post for the good of the Leftie cause, but thoughts on that post?

Well, I suppose I do, but what is your point in the context of this discussion?

Sorry, but this is stupid in its simplicity. Afford what? Throwing money after things which don't address the systemic issues I listed?
