Sure! Who knows what's on that concrete curb! I'm clean if nothing else with my kitchenware. Just pass it over my natural gas stove's burner. Treat it the same as you do your pocket knife before/after you remove a bullet

I sharpen my kitchen knives the same way I sharpen my lawnmower blades: out front on the curb (mine is concrete). Grind until it's sharp. Once I was out-of-pocket but luckily my host had a rock garden. Normies DO care about edge qualit

Yeah, My kitchen knives were once auto leaf springs. Soak 'em in the olive oil after use to keep the rust down (the knives, not the leaf springs). Arrr.

How do you know its racial profiling? Waiters often give advice, sometimes unasked. Perhaps you could be more specific, that is, tell us your story about this "behavior".

I've never spent more than $40 on any knife. The one I spoke of was a cheap S&W from AutoZone (the checkout line "specials" bin) for ~$13 IIRC. And FWIW I fear if I cut myself with that Kershaw I might grow a pussy.

Easy to fix: test applicants independently and don't let dummies in. Don't waste my tax monies trying to bring them "up to speed".

I'd nursed a foot callus for years that hurt badly when I walked barefoot. Weeks ago, sitting on the locker room bench, I hit my limit. In desperation I pulled out my pocket knife to do some field surgery. A few minutes into it I glanc

Sorry, dude, they'll arrest you whether you're a citizen or not if they see you commit a crime and they're interested. FWIW every police officer has "limited police powers" - the statement is vacuous. Federal police

Nonsense, the uniforms aren't nearly as snazzy, if there even ARE uniforms.

They do have jurisdiction: they are legally police officers who can enforce all laws: federal laws directly, state & local laws by arresting and passing detainees to state and local authorities.

Why the downvote? Renee Good hit the gas while her wheels were pointed to the left, directly at, and to the right of the shooting ICE officer. You can see the wheels moving the whole time. So at some moment as she drove away the ICE agent

A step back would not guarantee safety. Had there been no ice, the car likely would have struck the agent (b/c she "gunned" the engine). But yes, it was not safe to step in front of that car. The engine was running and the tr

You're damned right I expect a fair investigation into this! Don't confuse political posturing with our legal system. I'm uncertain what you meant with your second sentence. Perhaps you could restate what you mean another way
