(Part 2) Top products from r/ProRevenge

They are indeed partial tang, with plastic handles (like cutcos), and no rivets. The funny part is that it'll still outperform the cutcos, but if those things matter to you: https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Inch-Rosewood-Chefs-Knife/dp/B0019WZEUE

Here, same knife with rosewood handles, rivets, full tang construction, and it's $3 less than the fibrox version.

Victorinox has a lifetime warranty on defects and has a great reputation for sometimes even honoring the warranty when a knife fails from user abuse. Yes I know all about the gimmicky "infinity guarantee" and it can indeed sound like an absolutely amazing warranty to the uneducated buyer. Unfortunately once you realize that you are paying ~50x what the knives are actually worth it doesn't sound so awesome anymore. And for sharpening, I pay $3 for my 2 knives over 6 inches and $2 for the 3 under once a year to have them sharpened. That's $3 more than cutco charges for the shipping cost, and if I bought the full victorinox set for $160 vs the 6 piece set from cutco for $676 it would cost $16/year to sharpen all of them or 32 years to break even.

Btw, I know it looks like I'm obsessed about the fibrox knives or something, but I wouldn't even personally buy them for myself (although I have for friends just getting into cooking). The fibrox line is a great budget level knife line, but for only $20-30 more a knife you start being able to grab a MAC, Global, or Tojiro DP knives that are as much better than the fibrox as the fibrox is to cutcos. I'm simply using it to demonstrate just how much of a ripoff Cutcos are even when compared to a budget level knife.

We're all a little nuts here :) I'm happy that you, too, are trying to work on it and improve your life, and I wish you the best of luck!

If you're interested, my husband started DBT a few months back with his therapist and has been using this workbook, which seems to be helping him. We also just discovered this series of posts, which helped him express some things to me and helped me to conceptualize what's going on in his head and what I can do.

I eat a lot of spicy food, as do a few of my friends.

What started out as "Can you handle this" turned into "This Megadeth Hot Sauce is delicious on wings."

No, sorry. To the best of my knowledge Grammer only exists as a proper noun.

I don't know of a specific single word for a book of grammar rules, that would usually just be called 'Grammar Rules' or something more entertaining like "Grammar: Know Your Shit or Know You're Shit".

Plot Twist:

Boyfriend's pen.

Something like https://www.amazon.com/Insten-24-pin-Power-Supply-Tester/dp/B005CTCD6S but his had a little LCD screen, and the model didn't have good reviews. Closer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-jG3vqRQHM but still not what he showed me a picture of.

This is a complicated question with many factors in play. Let me take a stab at it. The policies of Daley's father. I would suggest reading this. https://www.amazon.com/Boss-Richard-J-Daley-Chicago/dp/0452261678

Decades ago, Blacks and other minorities attempted to move into those areas facing great resistance. Whites fled, businesses fled with them. Riots happened after King's death. Flood of cheap drugs in the 80's. The building of giant public housing complexes. Horner/Stateway/Rockwell Gardens. The power of gangs in those areas. Things are slowly changing. Back in the late 80's you wouldn't dream of going near Chicago Stadium, now the United Center. Now it's different. Humbolt Park out West used to known as a really bad area..now it's improving in increments

I'd also suggest reading this. https://www.amazon.com/There-Are-No-Children-Here/dp/0385265565
