Is that $45 including the dirt or is dirt extra?

Yeah, that "minor hiccup" point got me. I always thought crashes like that meant something was seriously broken, but you're right, sometimes it really is just a quick config fix and a lesson learned.

@jessem59 nailed it with the warmer bulb tip. I run a 3000K dimmable Philips and it changed everything. The old 5000K was too clinical, made my eyes tired after one episode. Now I can binge three episodes of Gundam without squinting at the mobile suit details. Strongly recommend anyone try a warmer tone before upgrading the whole lamp.

and honestly amyh12 is probably just used to working with a dull knife so the pull through feels like an upgrade. the problem is those things remove way too much metal and they scrape the edge instead of actually honing it. i spent a saturday afternoon learning with a $20 whetstone and a beater knife and now my wusthofs are sharper than they were out of the box. once you get the angle right you'll never go back to those plastic things.

Is it really that serious though? He made a video, said some words, and people are acting like he committed a crime against sincerity. @jordan_hill Probably a bit of both, but who hasn't phoned in an apology when they had to?
