The burr is also detectable lengthwise. When starting with a dull blade it feels smooth while sliding fingers lenghtwise. When the burr is formed, it starts to feel rough. When it feels like it’s digging into skin, it’s sharp. It’s a very subjective thing though, everybody has different fingers.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 2 months ago:
When sharpening knives, with practice you can tell when you are done by sliding your fingertips along (not across) the sharpened bevel. It’s possible to feel imperfections measured in micrometers this way.

You’re a Windows shop? Why don’t you deploy a policy that prevents users from shutting down computers?
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 2 months ago:
Stock prices at least have the possibility of being based on something substantial other than dice rolls. Derivatives, not so sure.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 2 months ago:
Just wondering, how wide is the lace gap on your shoes when you’re laced up? I’ve never needed a shoe horn unless I was trying to get my foot into a shoe that was too small.

- Comment on Wink wink 3 months ago:
And how does the family react when they come back in with red eyes and reeking of weed?
- Comment on U.S. to ban Chinese, Russian software and hardware used in autonomous vehicles 4 months ago:
We need this in the EU too. Actually, every country should adopt this policy.
- Comment on The mark 4 months ago:

- Comment on Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem. 4 months ago:
I don’t care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it’s easier to do it again. The rules that could lead to Twitter being banned today might be sane but who knows about the future? Maybe they start blanket banning Lemmy or Mastodon instances if the fediverse grows so large that moderation can’t keep up?
- Comment on Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem. 4 months ago:
We don’t need a precedent for the EU censoring the internet.

- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 5 months ago:
It’s not unreasonable to start charging for an app like that if it is under active maintenance, that costs money for the company after all.
But the lesson for the consumer is: Don’t buy tools that rely on apps or servers ran by someone else unless you want to eventually start paying rent…

- Comment on 6 months ago:
Heck, even electronic voting systems in the US is closed-source.
How can elections even be trusted to be fair in that case?
- Comment on Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan 6 months ago:
Is it that the decade of 0% interest rates and angel funding for startups lulled us into unrealistically thinking we could get unlimited everything for 9.99 per month, or is it that companies are suddenly starting to rip off people? As an end consumer it’s impossible to gauge what is a proper price for entertainment.
