They might be on to something with the burrito as I always think of both Mexican and Korean as 'food you eat with beer' so why not combine the two."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Other than my guitar I don't own anything like that, this will be a piece of art, unique to me that I'll use for a lifetime.
Kinda seems cheap.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Thats a cool idea imo. Go for it. No harm in the occasional reward. Some of us choose virtual reality gangbangs, some of us choose fine knives. It actually genuinely seems like a cool idea.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

The law the French government wants to bring in which has sparked these riots in Paris into high gear seems insane. They want to introduce legislation which would make it a crime to publish photos or video of on-duty police officers and people sharing such material can also be subject to prosecution. The security bill which this is part of has already been approved This comes on the back of a video being shared on social media a couple of days back which showed three police officers beat an unarmed man in his house and they have since been suspended.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostI don't know how its legal currently. Its generally illegal to film or photograph anyone in France without their permission. Like you can't just take pictures of a crowd on a street for example without getting explicit permission of everyone on the street who is in the photo. Everyone was always quite careful at kids plays to only picture their own kid rather than take a panorama. Its a great idea imo - that only you can directly sign away your right to your image in any event. So with that, I don't get how it has ever been legal to film the police there.

The Irish police are very restrained imo and I don’t think it’s fair to say their is a huge problem with their behaviour at all. It’s one of the best things about living in Ireland.

That opinion is not really borne out by the evidence. Your experience might be vastly different than other peoples, especially those more easily marginalised.

I think we can all agree that knifemakimg is a special skill. If so, the value question is simple.
How much time do you think it takes the guy? How much should a skill like that justify? Then add material cost.
I can’t imagine any situation where time and material isn’t worth €250. I’d be tempted also, but not for my daily knife. I’d still use a basic ikea job for dinner. But it’s a craft I appreciate.

Go too high you lose sales, to low you lose value. You could argue it ties in more with human behaviour and psychology than economics.
In many cases it has little to do with input costs.
Discover how to properly conduct a pricing analysis and develop a pricing strategy to price your products, services, or events to drive revenue and profit.
It this case I would guess the cost reflects the input costs. Laz needs to believe there is value in craftsmanship or he will be off down to the middle aisle in Lidl.
A good knife sharpener could be a game changer here.
I do like the saying "Some people know the price of everything but the value of nothing".
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

I see the Betfair Next President market just keeps on trucking. Nearly €1.3bn matched now.- Wisonconsin recount just about done (with a tiny swing to Biden).
- Georgia recount just about done.
- No recount allowed in Arizona.
- Michigan certified.
- All the Pennsylvania court cases literally laughed out the door.
- Nevada done

Also may be of interest to those who aren't dedicated enough to their knives to regularly use the whetstone - a local locksmith here will sharpen three knives for me for less than a tenner. I seriously doubt it would be the ideal way to care for a knife you love but if you're only using cheap ones anyway they will be sharp enough to shave with after it. Done while you wait in the place I go to.
