Merkin problems

The best advice I can give without being present to demonstrate is to let the knife do the work and essentially just slide the edge of the blade across what you’re trying to cut while only allowing the weight of the blade itself to apply the downward force until the edge catches. You should never really apply much downward force to cut in general so that the knife can actually slice instead of essentially wedging what you’re cutting apart. The hardest part is getting the blade to catch at first so it might take some finesse to start a cut but other than that there isn’t much else to it. Obviously there is a point that a blade is essentially unusable if it is completely blunt but in most cases a dull knife can get the job done. One last trick, for tomatoes and other soft things with a tough skin, using the point of the knife to slightly puncture the skin first will give you a place for the dull edge to catch to start a slice.

It’s all about the slice. One of the best lessons I ever learned in the culinary field is being able to cut with a dull knife

A true professional can do amazing things with the situation provided. A sharp knife would make things convenient but a real professional would be able to do something special even with dull knives. If op wants to do something special, then they need to forget the idea that the knife makes the difference and ask the questions about what they can do to show what they did to the food made that thing great. My greatest acknowledgment from cooking is when people notice that my effort is top tier. The inside didn’t have to be razor sharp to show that my cuts were intentional.

Coooking is about knowing the secret to success. It’s not the secret ingredient it’s the secret knowledge to do the task the best way. If the knife is sharp it should be done a certain way and if the circumstances are different then it should be done differently. But if you want to know how to do something the best way in a specific situation, the question shouldn’t be about the tool specifically but rather the technique for the situation considering the variables. I can tell you how to cut things with a dull knit but if the knife is sharp, my advice would be different

I like that system actually. Sometimes an unpopular opinion on Reddit would get downvoted and buried but it sparked an interesting discussion where the rest of the thread would be quality content. I like seeing some heavily downvoted comments sometimes and hiding that isn’t necessary. I feel like the user should have control over what way they get their feed and how upvotes and downvotes effect that.

Doesn’t matter much to me as far as high score type fulfillment fluff but as someone who likes stats and something to reference information about where I’m at is interesting at least and appreciated for the sake of being knowing. I always love video games that had a full stat page on the options like gta

I agree with the dislike button thing. I’m using wefwef so it’s basically an Apollo clone so I can see my cumulative stats so I guess to me they mean something. I guess everywhere has its own system so it’s a side effect of decentralized community.

Edit: removed a word

This is one thing I’ve been trying to figure out, I keep hearing this a lot. What exactly is different with the upvotes and downvotes? Do they not bury comments and posts or something? Serious question just trying to be informed

Just a standard issue cat. Joking aside, according to her paperwork she is a tiger striped domestic medium haired mix. Basically nothing specific I guess? She has the softest fur of any cat I ever met. She likes to lay right on your chest by your face and the only reason I have her is because she almost killed my mother with her super fine hair and my mom had to get rid of her.

Also hitting the post button returns to top then the second tap goes back to the menu before it where you choose the feed or whatever and imho that should stay that way. I feel like if you made that gesture the way to snap back and forth from your position in your feed there would be no way to return to the post menu. Fuck Apollo spoiled me…

How far away are we from an actual wefwef app where that could be possible? Because I would definitely pay for it like Apollo for features like that as simple as that seems. It’s the small things. Bottom line I’m liking the things I’m seeing with this migration so far so as long as we’re having these conversations to make things better I’m content but if there is a place I can contribute to a legit effort to streamline the experience via iOS based Apollo grade app UI I need to know. I’m new to this concept of instance environment and very intrigued but not tech savvy enough to dive in fully because lazy. Give me Christian grade tools that Apollo brought to Reddit please and I would be so happy. Formatting tools at very least. Is it the same as Reddit where I can insert a link? Help!! Sorry end rant I’m drunk but tickled by good forum vibes

Edit: a letter

Need the top bar tap though so it can be like Apollo and snap back down to where you were with the second tap.
