ah we may have an exception

That's meant to be pointy finger grip. All the better to stab the off hand.

That's totally my mom, and my sister in a nutshell.

What? Is that a cough syrup?

Buying a new knife never ends up with me (one) almost immediately wanting to buy another one.

lol, it’s an acquired taste for sure...

I have tried to acquire this taste. Oh, how I have tried. I have drunk $300 Maotai and Wuliangye, side by side with $15 Pearl River Bridge, and the only difference I can taste is that the expensive stuff is smoother. All of it smells like a rotting grain silo; I can overlook that. But the magic escapes me.

Tastes like cough syrup. But doesn't work.

...that bottle was the worst thing I have ever tasted.

So which types of Sinosphere liquors (clearly not baijiu) are more decent?

Keeping stickers on handles (or elsewhere) is ridiculous. This is valid not only for knives.

What if it's a Hello Kitty sticker?

We

Handles are more interesting than blades

Are we talking basic ho wood, burnt chestnut/oak/etc. , multicolored abominations eyesores artistically styled or just nice hardwood (giggity) handles?

Yes

My brother cares a lot about aesthetic design. He told me that either the handle or the blade should look interesting - never both. If both are competing for visual attention, it's a real mess. The same applies to watches and their straps. I don't know how correct he is, but it sounds good enough to me that I kind of follow it.

I concur with your brothers hypothesis. Take this image of a couple of Ashi honyaki. If the scales were made from some fancy figured wood, the subtle banding and hamon line in the blade would have less impact. There should only be one major focal point for visual harmony.

Do you try to use that to tell time when you're messing around with LSD?

Take enough acid and you'll be seeing that abomination on your wrist, whether you're wearing it or not!

Or take "the spice" and time travel, Lito.

You could go on a real good bender if you had a stillsuit. Drunk for days, walkin around, no need to go to a bathroom to do your business, and you could easily keep hydrated. Might be hard to have a drunken hookup tho. Fremen sex scenes must involve 30 min of undressing first.

Couldn't agree more. One of the questions photographers will ask if a photo is too busy: "What's the hero of this image?" i.e. "what's the main focus - I don't know what to look at here, it's a mess."

You just focus on juicing man, leave photography to the pros.

Robitussin> jagermeister

A joke term for Jägermeister in Germany is "Leberkleister". It rhymes with the original word and, translated literally, means "liver glue".

 

[IsoJ]

In Finland Jägermeister is called jekku(trick in english). But Gammel Dansk over Jägermeister anyday of the week

I am amused by the savage irony of that, indeed

The complexity of good Baijiu has no substitute but it’s important to start with a good one:
