Today, I get the knife and go to slice some onions to roast. There's a burr on the blade thicker than my nail.
So yeah...

Thicker than a straw. And several of them on the cleaver. I think the fucktard tried to hack away the marble.

If I had a digital camera, I'd post a pic.

At least you guys don't have any twits abusing your knifes into oblivion.

True. Pretty much the only knife anyone else uses is the dedicated bread knife, and that's so rarely used that it's always washed before it's needed again.

[Darvi]

Oh, and we have a hammer for pounding meat that has to get washed every week or so.

We don't even pound meat :/

[Tellemurius]

Yeah... ripping the fiber bundles instead of cutting. And you risk nicking yourself when the blade catches in a bone or something and jumps.
I don't have much heart for the idea hunting. I prefer my meat to come in rather more anonymous bits.

Its a dieing hobby now...

My right leg has been hurting, and I have to limp around. Not to mention the fact that ants have decided to take up residence here for the spring. I found that my trash can is crawling with them. I need some of those odor eating bags or something. New neighbors are still being the lousy hammocks weights they are, and I've been getting hardly any sleep. It's starting to affect my work.

1:30 this morning, my household got about 8 calls  from my sister-in-law until someone finally woke up and answered. My sister (not in-law) had been found at a stranger's house near her home, incoherently drunk. Cue driving across the city.

That said, she's fine now, although thoroughly hungover, and we got the entire family together, which is a rarity.

It's not really a pain or even annoying. It's just that when it's quiet, I keep having that beeping sound in my head.

Wait, it's not meant to do that?

Actually, it is. People who live amongst many other people, such as citydwellers, have ears that are used to endless sound. The body adapts to this by generating its own sounds to dim the rest a little bit. When it's quiet, you can hear your own 'dimming' frequencies. That's why if you stay in a quiet area for a few weeks and then return to a city, everything seems so loud. Your body re-adjusts.

huh, explains when it gets intense at night blocking all sounds then.

I have trouble sleeping without general mechanical sounds.
Fans, hard drives, engines, turbines, et cetera.
My body has adjusted to creating semi-regular white noise when it's silent, because of the ocean.

Same here.

Unrelatedly, a spambot is slowly flooding the Creative Projects board with spam threads.  It's not even one of those nice bots that we tend to get around here.

Actually, it stopped at 20 posts so /care.
They topics will sink into the depths of the forum or get purged in due time.

Man. Knives discussion. Oh boy.

I share the cooking duties with my parents, so I end up having to figure which of the dull steak knife collection we have I get to use for cooking. Irritates the fuck out of me. I will never EVER end up lucky enough to have the one sharp blade that isn't a cleaver to cut up veggies. You have no clue how many times I've nearly chopped my finger off trying to cut a tomato with a dull steak knife.
