  • I have that one too but that's not the knife I'm talking about. It's about the size of a paring knife and it hooks forward. Almost like a scythe but not nearly as dramatic of* a curve.

    (When I get home from work I can upload a picture if anyone cares to help out.)

  • Yeah seriously that's gross as fuck. I wouldn't even want to use a garage sink to rinse a plunger. It's just too nasty for me. It gets rinsed outside with the hose.

  • It's not your fault; even if you could zoom in, there's not enough resolution to make out any details.

    Your Lemmy app is probably preventing you from zooming images beyond a 1:1 pixel ratio, preventing you from zooming them past their native resolution. Voyager doesn't have that issue, if you were considering a different app.

  • Scissors too. A good pair of kitchen scissors makes slicing small vegetables like green onions much easier.

  • Have you never heard of cross-contamination? Using the same towel that touched the counter to wipe the knife and cutting board as well is disgusting as fuck.

    For your sake (and the sake of any guests you have over), I hope you're talking about a workshop knife, not the kitchen. I hope you never get a restaurant job, either.

    EDIT: Jesus Fucking Christ people, take a food safety course. Yeah I am brash and a bit of a dick but I'm not wrong.

  • This chart is missing a knife that I have. The blade hooks forward instead of backwards, like a bird's beak.

    Since it's small and the tip extra pointy, I use it for precision cutting. I've also found it useful for thin slides of cheese, since the blade is also not as thick as the other knives in my set. Still, I'm wondering what its actual purpose is for.

  • Aww that's disappointing, but I'm not surprised. Otherwise we'd be using this tech to help colorblind people tell the difference between red and green.

  • Or just do what I did and spam the apply button on Indeed until someone follows up. If an employer requires you to apply on the website, skip and move on. Took a few months but it eventually worked for me.

  • Literally one of the best uses for LLMs. It's also useful for rewriting your resume to make it seem more impressive.

  • This is a PAINTING

  • I wish I had even 1% of this talent, but my brain is perpetually starved of dopamine so I never have the drive pursue my hobbies. So I'm forced to get my dopamine from artificial sources. But then that eventually stops working too, which makes things even worse.

  • I've seen an earlier version of this meme, where someone was complaining that you can buy Batman shampoo at the grocery store, but there's no Conditioner Gordon.

  • Maybe it's just my ADHD, but the article doesn't seem to be clear on something: do these contacts actually allow you to see into near-infrared as it exists, or do they merely shift the light into a spectrum we can see, the way cameras do? I'm hoping for the former, but I doubt we have the tech to allow us to see new colors simply by putting on a pair of contacts.

    (Also, the mental image of scientists putting tiny little contact lenses on mice is hilarious to me.)

  • So don't stare directly at them, then?

    Infrared lights don't need a lot of wattage to do their job. They wouldn't be any more obnoxious than a light bulb.

  • Does the player character have to be present for this to happen?

  • Yes obviously. If not governments, then Google, Meta, etc. are controlling the narrative. Doesn't mean we should give up and just let them. China is no less evil than the US, or the big corporations that control us all. Don't give up and give in to any of them. Resist until the day you die.
