I went to the park yesterday and sat down on a bench and there lying on it as brazen as you like was a packet of powder. I held it up, gave it a shook and yes, I'm pretty sure it's some drugs. But, what kind of drugs and what to do with them? I'm past my years of experimental messing with mystery substances so decided against stuffing the unknown powder up my nose but all the same put them in my pocket, put them away in a safe place at home and now wondering wtf I'm gonna do with them. Chuck the packet in the bin is but one option but thought i'd run it by folks to see if there were alternatives I hadn't considered. If anyone wants these "possible drugs" they are welcome to collect them for free and under cover in a park somewhere perhaps?
- That's very responsible of you sir. Post a 'found' message on the socials. Maybe someone has lost it? hahaIanbolton

Having a few days to myself, I finally unwrapped the whetstones I bought a few months back, soaked them in mineral water, then watched some YouTubes and sat down to try my hand at sharpening my favourite knife.
After a half hour - Naah, fuck that. It's really not for me. Ironically, it's very fucking dull.
- LOL at the punchline.
You have to give it another try, pour yourself a glass, put on a podcast and get grinding.palimpsest - Yup, it's definitely a bit of a grind all right, sharpening one's knives one's self.Continuity
- What knife?scarabin
- maybe didn't put enough pressurepango
- @sc - a shitty old sabatier-style knife that had its tip accidentally broken off years back and that has "I AM KNIFE, MOTHERFUCKER" lasered on itNairn
- My mid-term aim was to fix the angle of the broken snubbed point, making a neater finish, but I can see now that would take literal days to accomplishNairn
- I could grind that in a few seconds. Too bad you’re ten million miles awayscarabin
- copped a set of 2 whetstones from a charity shop a few months ago and i love em! having sharp knives finally makes me feel like i have my life togetherscruffics
- what grit are yours?scruffics
- I recently got wet stones and now my wusthoff classics are as sharp as new. I love how meditative it is, and I can do it instead of watching a show, or during.monospaced
- But an hour and a half if sharpening. You must have made some good progress!monospaced
- My brother fucked up some family relic knives made by my dad what never required any sharpening because he wanted to show off.sted
- They look like shit, and became useless. He still thinks that he did good because the you on youtube was a pro... fucking ridiculous.sted
- *guy on youtubested
- It takes some learning, they make lil angle guides, but honestly you should practice on something you're not afraid to fuck up.garbage
- I've got a few pre-red badge Wusthofs, and they are pampered af.garbage
- Go to your local Asian supermarket and grab some Kiwis. There's all kinds of varieties, and they are the dirty secret of pro chefs everywhere.garbage
- just get a motorized sharpener.pango
- It’s hard to fuck them up unless you’re using a coarse grit and just grinding away like a clown. Even I managed to get a perfect edge on my first try.monospaced
- Unless your knife is severely damaged or so dull it can’t cut at all there’s no reason to use the course stone. That’s for edge reshaping not sharpening.monospaced
- I really only keep one sharp knife in the kitchen. If all my knifes were super sharp my wife and kids would be losing digits on the daily.HijoDMaite
- I use a mallet to chop up my veggies.palimpsest
- @garbage Those Kiwi knives are absolutely vicious. I grabbed one of those 30 cm veg cleavers for a song a couple of years ago, and it's STILL murderously sharp.Continuity
- This despite using it pretty much every couple of days since, and passing it lightly a few times on my honing steel as needed.Continuity
- F-it, go all in and use a belt sander.Akagiyama
- I followed palimpsest's direction and listened to a podcast and just doing a 1000 grit pass, because honestly, beyond that I just can't. It's sharp. It'll do.Nairn
- I do need to borrow a sandbelter and flatten the broken tip and hint at the cut angle before sharpening on 400 then 1000. Also - ordering some Kiwis :)Nairn
- ok, 3 kiwis ordered.
ON YOU, GARBAGENairn - Hell yeah, which ones did you get? Please say one was a cleaver.garbage
- Ha! Bravo, Nairn!Continuity
- @garbage - not quite the cleaver, although was tempted - instead, '8" Cook Knife'; https://www.chopchop…Nairn
- Pairing knife and general big sharp knife otherwise, latter in wood, because fancy.Nairn
- Thanks you too, fucko @continuityNairn
- Plastic handles?! (jk)garbage
- The cleaver, the veggie cleaver, and the 6.5 chef are the ones I have. I go out of my way to use the cleaver, it's just fun.garbage

- @cont That thing is amazing, probably my current fave.garbage
- @hans - I can mark metal, not cut it.
You've seen the pulsing red notice? :)Nairn - Amazon sells these little magnetic angle guides for knife sharpening. It's a similar story to me, one of the days I had covid I noticed a chip off the front ofBuddhaHat
- my favourite Shun santoku, so I soaked my 3000/8000 stone, and sat down with Netflix on and ground on that thing for hours. Occasionally I checked the angleBuddhaHat

Also, spent an hour talking with Thule this morning. I might pick up a rooftop tent. Guy on the phone gave me a 30% discount code. That's real money when you buy the roof rack, bike carrier, cɑrgo carrier, and tent all in one go. No wonder they limit the purchase to $4,000... Current cart: $3,839.60
- I noticed those smells increasing since covid. I reckon it’s hand sanitizer being more prevalentscarabin
- Also, that’s an amazing deal!scarabin
- right!? possibly saving over $1000 just for exploring product options. really makes me think about how I plan on traveling this summerimbecile
- but, have you really saved anything by paying $4,000 for a tent?monNom
- @lol nom, but it's a tent with benefitsfadein11
- Sanitizer alcohol dries the hand. Hence more people using potion.pango
- tent is $2K, saving $1K+, it's like roof rack & bike rack are free w/ purchase. benefit is I am 100% connected to car and mobile between trunk / carrier / tent.imbecile
- https://www.thule.co…imbecile
- What's the advantage of a rooftop tent for a normal car compared to a normal tent? Since you can "only" load 100kg on an Audi Avant. Not much for 2 pax.Longcopylover
- 100kg is moving weight.. Rooftop tents are great, as are regular tents, camper trailers and swags. Sleeping outside is fun.slappy
- again, 100% connected. rooftop tent is off the ground, more durable than a cheap tent or i would have to pull a heavier tent off the top of my car then assembleimbecile
- I'm paying for speed / convenience. Reliability / dependability come with in the form of the lifetime warranty. My other Thule is 20 years old, just wrong size.imbecile

I've got a new Fuji camera on the way, the kit lens included is the 16-80mm F4 lens, I'm keen to pick up one more lens to fiddle with as well. I will be doing some family portrait stuff, but I also like to take shots when I'm out on the bike of street art, buildings, landscape etc.
Any suggestions on an extra lens so I can cover all these scenarios?
GxAce's video on the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 lens has me really interested, I love the wide angle low aperture look of those shots.
- which model?_niko
- I decided on the x-t5, pretty excited about getting it!BuddhaHat
- something like a 35mm f2.8 would be good?grafician
- I would probably go longer for street and portrait photography. Maybe the fujinon 23mm f1.4 (36mm equiv) or fujinon 35mm f1.4 (56mm equiv).slappy
- I use a fujinon 35mm f1.4 pretty much all the time for my family camera.slappy
- Honestly just use the 16-80. It's really nice to have the extra reach sometimes. Or to go wide for a vista. carrying lenses is for the birds.monNom
- Thanks for the tips everyone I'm gonna go with slappy's recommendation of 56mm equivalent and then go a wider lens after that.BuddhaHat

I have a coworker that 1/2 of the office really doesn't like and doesn't know what he does. My boss gets frustrated with him, but usually forgets and loves to chit chat with him.

Dear blog:
10 days without smoking, the lungs hurt less, but I've had a terrible cough, headache and throat pain for a few days, along with a slight fever...

People are more and more retarded and don't know shit about cinema.
Glass Onion fucking sucked ass. Knives Out was not great, but this one takes the shit cake. The script was terrible. Rian Johnson can't write for shit. What an asshole. I kind of liked Looper and that's it. The rest is trash.
