I mean, you can do it, but boy is that miserable. At some point, the blade just got so dull it wouldn't cut, and just friction-heated the board and blade.

I was pretty fucking shocked to see just how quickly your shitty blade became completely useless, though.

Yes.

The first three episodes form a nice little self-contained story arc to get you in the swing of things, too.

Got it in one. It's also a pretty vital consumable in most every high-performance rocket; it's literally the only pressurant suitable for liquid hydrogen that isn't hydrogen itself.

I sure fucking hope so. We're also going to need high-temperature superconductors to replace current MRI machines, which are going to become stranded assets when required liquid helium supplies dry up, which they will if we keep squandering the stuff.

You can't go wrong with a Wusthoff Classic, but my mother's surprise favorite is the now-discontinued Schmitt Bros. "The One", which is shaped like some kind of ungodly kitchen machete, has enough tip weight to chop with, and has glorious ergonomics. If you find one for sale and don't gift it, let me know so I can buy a spare...

Oh my God? My grandfather's house had one of these...
