All cuisine from all countries restarted 500 years ago. Korea didn't have chili peppers, Russia didn't have tea or potatoes, no one had coffee, it's amazing how much of our cultural identity is firmed up after a few generations.
If you add "time" to the math things get very cheap over time. Like a loaf of bread is more than five bucks but over time it provides sandwiches and breakfast worth 5 bucks so it is measurably saving me money. A movie costs ~about $5 an hour too.
Whetstones are fine but keeping the blade at the right angle for so long takes practice and it's not worth the results. Get a knife sharpener and let it hold the knife for you while sharpening. I picked up an electric sharpener and never looked back. It's loud but quick, exactly what I would expect from an angle grinder on rails.
So if the child predator ring is true and they actually are cannibals, what's up with the adenochrome thing? Are they stabbing child brains for spine water? So much that Q has built up is turning out true but about the greediest people on the planet, instead of a guy who runs a pizza shop.
After watching Bernie get buried by Michael Bloomberg buying the attention, I have serious doubt about the DNC doing anything to promote AOC. If anything she will be the straw that breaks the party into a right wing business centric DNC with Gavin Newsome and some Progressive/actual left wing option.
I'm so glad that I lived during and after Mr Rogers. He showed what a compassionate person does in all things and how to be a good person. If it weren't for Mr Rogers I would think that historical figures who change the world with kindness like MLK or Ghandi are fiction, a beacon of nonviolence for the machine to chew up. They didn't last. But Mr Rogers did. And he changed the world as much as any other great historical figures.
Feels like the entire joke hinges on "not valid in Japan"
