  • I am not an expert - just an avid knife freak - but in my experience “Stainless” means “Stain Less” not “Stain Resistent”. Eg. s35vn is relatively high quality stainless knife steel - that does not mean it ain’t gonna pickup stains - all mine did… I suspect one of the differences between my knifes / Elons Cybertruck vs. your cookware is that your cookware is mirror polished while my knives and the cybertruck are sporting “satin finish” which looks quite esthetically first 5 mnts - but is quite inpractical…




  • I would argue that anyone capable of dispassionately studying this subject can equally easily find that Elon Musk is not a reliable source of information (I’d dare say a liar) , eg:

    • the famous solar city presentation where Musk showcased several houses with solar tiles. The houses were a tv set for Desperate Hosewives, and tiles he was showing off simply didn’t exist. That can’t imagine a scenario where this could be an honest mistake.
    • the funding secured tweet from 2018 where he claimed he had enough money to take Tesla private at 420 USD / share. He got sued therefore we know he didn’t - even remotly.

    I don’t know whether Elon is a genius or not - but when somebody, who is proven to be somewhat creative with the truth, also claims that he is a genius - specially in the “I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive” manner - I don’t think it is unreasonable to have doubts.



  • I don’t believe these 3000 individuals faithfully represent the 5+ milion Muslims who live in Germany nor the almost 2 bilion Muslims in the world.

    What I do belive they represent is violent religious extremism. And that is not limited to Muslims. You got Buddhists shooting people in Myanmar, Jews shooting people in the west bank, Hindu stoning people in India and even 1st world American Christians shooting on plant parenthood clinics…

    We should be vigillant whenever a religions doctrine gets into conflict with what we understand are basic human rights. I am not confident we are. I am not comparing PIS to idk Hamas - but how many women have died in Poland due to their anti-abortion laws and how is that acceptable?


  • Yes, life in Gaza is life in poverty without prospects for the future. Yes, the settler movement in the West Bank is fomenting discord and robs the Palestinians of hope and rights and, increasingly, lives. And the suffering of the civilian population now at war is a fact, a terrible fact.

    You are right and I am wrong I haven’t read the whole video. I am ashamed. Insert whichever invective you like - I have few. There is no excuse.
