That’s a relief, glad the providers care

You right

And then Jack Welch entered the scene and destroyed the company and also hundreds of thousands of lives

My VA doc recently told me they’re planning to reform mental health ratings to “account for those that can hold a job” and that they want to revisit including medication and symptom management in decision determination.

Absolute regressive madness

That’s endorsement enough for me

Oh man, I wonder what the author of The Book of Eels thinks. I remember thoroughly enjoying the book even though it ended without any conclusive idea where eels come from

Guess i should finally watch that. I’ve been putting it off but it’s been referenced a lot recently and seems like it might be relevant

And a couple that aren’t really reactions but I use them anyway:

Plus they have a bunch of the original VAs

Kaos. Jeff Goldlum plays a paranoid Zeus. That’s pretty much all to need to know, but the cast and writing are both incredible

When they announced new star wars like 10 years ago I really hoped for a Kyle Katarn story. Seeing what they’ve done though I’m glad they left him alone

Happy to help! I can’t begin to guess what might be best for your family, but it might be worth watching a couple episodes yourself and seeing if it’s a fit. A couple other good animated shows might be The Owl House and the latest She-Ra. Both are very lgbtq+ friendly and the later seasons of She-Ra have a more complex take on the Zuko redemption arc. Although, She-Ra has been removed from netflix so you might have to “find” it. And I recommend anyone and everyone watch Adventure Time

It’s definitely a more contemplative show about loss, growth, and appreciation. Action is pretty spaced out and generally brief. I’d argue it’s a masterclass in letting silence speak and possibly a strong intro to subtext. It’s full of the main character either not speaking or making cryptic or ambiguous statements followed by explanatory flashbacks. Overall, I would describe it as a pretty wholesome show with very little of the typical problematic anime content. Comparing it to AtLA is tough because they’re simply different kinds of stories, but it can feel kind of like the tea shop episode.

This might catch flak, but i recommend the english dub for those who don’t know japanese. The voice actors SELL IT and, not being a japanese speaker, i can’t confirm whether the tone and characterizations are conveyed the same.

I carry this screencap specifically for that reason:

Catching strays

Watch videos and read some articles about it. There are different edge angles for different use cases, but you’ll generally aim for 20-25°. For things like razors and kitchen knives you’ll want a straight grind/edge and for more heavy use knives a slightly beveled edge is okay. Low grit is for large corrections like burrs and blunt spots. Those kinds of corrections will take a lot of time and you’ll want to look for uniformity before moving to higher grits for a sharper edge and eventually polish. Highly recommend starting with an angle tool and going slowly with a knife you don’t really care about. Work on keeping your angle and pressure consistent and don’t press down very hard. If you apply too much pressure you’ll damage both the edge and stone, especially for softer (higher grit) stones. Check your work regularly to make sure the edge is consistent, you’ll see it pretty clearly under a light. It takes practice. I’ve been freehand sharpening for about 20 years and I still mess up sometimes.

My biggest tip is regular maintenance! I clean and do a few passes on 3000 grit with my kitchen knife every time I use it and it’s been my sharpest knife for 10 years. And clean your stone! Residual steel will build up, making the stone less effective and also risking damage to the edge.

I order a lot of takeout and recently stopped using online ordering because a bunch of them in the area stopped allowing orders as a guest. They force to log in or sign up. I’ve found that calling the store is easier and faster

“is it web scale?”

By sheer coincidence, I just made an install image yesterday and will be switching soon
