Hyperlynx posted:What do expensive kitchen knives do that cheap ones don't? ^^^ Yea durability costs money. For a personal knife yea, don't bother to break the bank for it. Just get yourself a sharpening tool and a steel, and that poo poo will be perfectly fine forever. Though a cook friend of mine had a lovely knife he got in culinary school which he used literally every day for everything and had a noticeably different blade after several* years. *for the chefs in house, he took a while to properly learn how to sharpen his knife and hosed it up a few times, then learned how to sharpen that poo poo like a katana.

SnowblindFatal posted:Ok but if you're aiming at the head, the neurological damage would probably be such that the other person would simply be unable to use his hand. Always aim at the center of mass. You're less likely to miss. Also isn't it true that trauma to the skull can cause the body to tense up -> pull trigger? Or is that also a garbage fact?

BBQ Dave posted:I have a problem at work. Which thread should I post in to get advice from goons about corporate hr stuff? I normally stick to the goons with spoons and gaming. There's a legal megathread here in ask/tell  https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3266659 Though corporate policies vary a ton between companies. You may or may not be just as well off asking about it here. In my experience, if you are fighting a write up, the best thing to do is get HR and/or your boss's boss involved. Even if it is only to make a paper trail against whoever is the "real" trouble.

ToxicSlurpee posted:So you don't eat it. Chances are if it smells or tastes bad it's because it's something your body doesn't want in it. Think about flies for a second; you smell rotting meat and go "oh, gross! No thank you." Flies go "gently caress yeah, rotting meat!" Kids eat boogers all the time. Is there a difference between what we sneeze out and what get picked out? Tangentially related: I've read that eating boogers can boost children's immune system because of the dead germs/foreign matter, is there any truth to that?

Does the same happen if you drink wine or cocktails? I mostly drink random beers on tap. If I have too many of those I feel like poo poo. If I go with lite beer I feel fine in the morning, but if i get drunk off liquor or wine, i would rather die than stand up in the morning. I try to have a cup of chicken noodle soup before bed (if I'm still standing) to ward off a hangover and it helps quite a bit.

kedo posted:Is there a thread anywhere for/about people who work in hotels? I’m not looking for horror stories about bad guests/disgusting rooms (I remember an A/T thread about that from years ago) but rather what it’s like to work in the industry. Not that I'm aware of, but there are various IT/accounting/service industry threads where some of the regular posters work in hotels/resorts. The restaurant industry thread I know has people in a variety of positions (culinary/management/front of house) who work for major hotels. (I'd probably follow a hotel/resort specific thread if it does exist though.)

AlbieQuirky posted:You can do the sale at the bank if you want to verify the check. Money orders seems riskier to me. A coworker is dealing with some poo poo after she sold her car privately. For the sale to be done "correctly" in Wisconsin, you need to do it at the dmv at the counter and have the title transferred to the new person immediately. With their identity more or less proven, even if they scam you on the payment, you know exactly who they are and can legally go after them.

Crazycryodude posted:I just found a tick on my leg, little bastard wasn't there in the morning and almost definitely got picked up when I went for a walk in the afternoon. Anyways, he was dug in, but not inflated at all and I pried him out with tweezers, head stayed attached to the body and everything. Probably wasn't dug in for more than 3-4 hours, maybe less even. I don't think I need to seriously worry about watching for Lyme's or anything because I got it out before it could settle in for a proper meal, but can anybody more knowledgeable confirm? Know the early symptom(s) to look for. Redness/bullseye is the big one I know. Don't bother searching much online about it. There is a ton of pseudoscience poo poo about it.
