    i know many ppl like to use fancy diamond sharpeners. but for all my kitchen knives i use the same stone sharpening tool. you know, the one that looks like a lense (another buy for life btw). with a bit of exercise you get really quick at sharpening anything to a razors edge. my victorinox paring knifes also comply with that tool very well - might be worth a try.

    maybe just don’t use your 10’000$ japanese chefs knife on the stone ;-) anything else ‘good quality but affordable’ i have a great experience.

    totally agree that parents need a break and a good drink. hell it is exhausting. but please avoid just putting them Infront of a screen. get the grandparents to look after them, let them sleep over at a friend’s house, organise a nanny. as a society we are already too often starring at screens.







  • ToxicWaste@lemm.eetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.worldAny ideas?

    I don’t know how it would apply to painting minies. but there is definitely starter gear, which is better than ‘pro’ stuff - just by being friendly.

    i climb and now that i am a bit better i use shoes about 2 sizes too small and have a pretty aggressive arch. bouldering in them is comfortable and i like them. but if i had them as my beginner shoes - i would have quit because that just hurts if you are not used to it. so i do see a benefit in beginner gear, even if you will eventually outgrow it.
