Went through and sharpened my chisels. Mostly a motley crew or hand me downs. Gotta say the ones I got from Aldi a few years ago might be my favorites after they get a good sharpening in (also I don't feel guilty abusing them a bit).
My general process is to use the honing guide and have the main face be around 25 degrees (this is only really needed occasionally), then cut a higher angle edge, 30 degrees, on the cutting edge. It means I only have to hit that 30degree grind for the next few sharpening sessions.
For the higher angle cuts I tend to do a few passes at 1000 till the edge is crisp, then a few at 4000, then place the flat on the 4000 and cut off the "burr"

For me, as much as I adore the theme of travel companions, henghill is more of a "someday" thing in that regard. I love Boothill being a weird loner Galaxy Ranger rather than a Nameless- man is undomesticated and belongs sleeping in the cargo holds of supply ships, threatening silence out of anyone that tries to report him. Let him be wild and free!!
I would LOVE it if Boothill just hitched a short ride off Asdana to whatever the Express' next destination is, though!
Like maybe the Express decides to stick around Penacony for a while, the same way they do other destinations, and Boothill is there anyway to investigate Oswaldo Schneider. It's rare to find a planet where the IPC is present, but doesn't actually have a lot of power; he can't pass this opportunity up!
And in that time, he sees a lot of Dan Heng.
Boothill gets text messages asking him to the quieter parts of the Dreamscape (he threatened and made a scene - it's called standing up for your rights, Dan Heng was given a room with a Dreampool by The Family for helping root out The Order) or mostly to the Express, where Dan Heng curiously asks him about Paths, about aeons and Emanators, The Rangers, all the worlds he's seen and places he's been.
Boothill isn't really surprised the first time they spend an entire night talking and discussing- after all, they'd chattered a lot that first day they met at the bar in the Reverie! But in talking so much, of course the topic of home comes up.
Dan Heng asks about Boothill’s homeworld.
Boothill tells Dan Heng it's gone now, and changes the subject.
Boothill asks about Dan Heng's past, before the Astral Express and the Nameless.
Dan Heng freezes up and closes off, and changes the subject.
In yet another moment of tacit understanding, neither of them ask again.
But this continues, all throughout their stint in Penacony, finding each other and seeking the other out for no reason other than good company. Dan Heng adds ridiculous amounts of data to the archives that Boothill dictates to him. They both know he could get that information elsewhere if he really wanted. Boothill finds he's kinda happy he doesn't.
And Boothill is someone who's hard to keep up with. He knows he is, and he has no problem with it. It's part of what makes him excel as a Galaxy Ranger. But there's something fun about how Dan Heng just rolls with it, and so effortlessly! Boothill finds something shady going on, grabs a guy who was preying on people, and has this dude held up by the collar with his feet swinging while he cackles right in his face, when Dan Heng shows up.
Boothill says they're just having a friendly chat. He makes zero effort to hide what he's actually doing. Boothill's new friend pleads for Dan Heng to help him, please! This guy's crazy!
Dan Heng materializes his spear.
The guy apologizes even harder, tells them he won't do anything shady ever again, promise, promise! Boothill's jabbers at him and shakes him around some more before Dan Heng taps the pole of his spear against the covered metal of Boothill's leg and tells him come on, he's already scared the man witless, they have a date to keep. Boothill drops the guy and watches him scurry off like a cockroach.
"So, now it's a date, huh?"
"...Come on, let's go."
They go to the Dreamflux Reef after that, because Boothill just so happened to totally by coincidence find that shady guy's wallet (read: robbed him blind) and he wants that money to go back to the native Penaconians before anyone else. Dan Heng follows, and stuffs all of the man's credits into the tip jar of the bar they go to.
And even when the Express embarks anew from Asdana (with Boothill hidden away in some corner or compartment, because the IPC finally got pissed enough to start looking for him under The Family's noses skzikske) this continues. The next planet is difficult to get to because of Stellaron activity; so they have to fly manually part of the way instead of warping. Boothill doesn't get his own room since he's only hitching a ride, but Pom-Pom graciously allows him to sleep on a couch-
("Thank ya, Fluffy. No hard feelings about before, right?" "You're lucky my other passengers like you. And no shoes on the couches!!")
-in one of the cars. And it becomes normal commonplace to find Boothill telling stories, and Dan Heng rapidly writing them all down, at obscene hours in the parlor car while Himeko and Welt ask if either of them even slept.
Boothill teaches Dan Heng all about his favorite drinks and liquor in general, how to aim and shoot a gun, how to hunt and track prey. Dan Heng teaches Boothill about a lot of the teachings of Lan and The Hunt from the Xianzhou, what it's like there, some of the culture, some of the fables and old tales.
Boothill still leaves when it's time to go. He's still got things to do and people to kill, after all.
But it never feels like he's very far. The archives are full of him, even if he's never mentioned by name. The article on the Galaxy Rangers is several times longer than it was before. There's new data on multiple planets and worlds.
There's one that's still just a header and title. Boothill doesn't know about it yet. Dan Heng hopes he can fill the page on Aeragan-Epharshel someday and show it to him.
And even if he doesn't stay, he does return. Boothill breaks in stops by any time he happens to be nearby. He's used to traveling without much rest, and only takes what he can easily carry on him- nothing that can slow him down or hinder him. He can't put a bullet between Oswaldo Schneider's eyes if he gets himself killed over something as stupid as being weighed down in a fight, after all.
Dan Heng is similarly sparse. He still sleeps in the archives, with nothing but his futon and old suitcase to mark the space as his.
But there's an old wooden guitar carefully propped in the corner, just waiting for its owner's return.

Hi Hello apparently I didn't empty my tank yet.
So fun general headcanon: Emmet likes to cook. He makes most of the meals in the house and often brings homemade food to special events as a way to show his appreciation of whoever he has over. It's how he relieves stress, shows affection, tries new things, it's one of his key interests beyond battling.
This has slightly different connotations in Battle Addict. See Emmet studies the physical properties of pokemon, how they tick and how to make them stop ticking. A key part of his studies is sketching pokemon and outlining their internal structures, but there's no teacher like experience. His favourite way to improve his knowledge is dealing with the subject hands on, and cooking is a very good way to do that. He specifically practices butchery, breaking pokemon down section by section, noting the musculature, skeletal structure, and organs inside. This information helps him to find weakness in an opponent's pokemon while knowing how to cover his own.
This also serves as bonding time for him and Ingo because Ingo gets to be sous chef while Emmet turns a monster into mincemeat. He hands him the different tools he needs and they converse while Emmet slices and picks apart the carcass. Emmet also gets to explain the inner workings of the pokemon, which both of them enjoy analyzing and discussing.
The book Emmet is holding is his "butchery book", which is really just a collection of different biology textbooks he uses as guides to best break down carcasses. They always end up getting messy and after a certain point, he just stops caring and uses it, dirty as it may be. They have to be stored in a sealed container away from their other study materials, and are only ever brought out for processing. Emmet is probably the only person who can stand to be next to the stench of the concentrated dried blood throughout the pages, Ingo usually wears some kind of face cover when Emmet is working.
And for those who want to see the real mess of the work:

Washing up is half the labour of studying through butchery.

Fuck it, toolposting time
Tumblr media
This is my day to day kit, and with it I can fix just about anything in the plant. It's missing exactly one thing, and that's a pair of good pliers/multitool, but that's on its way (it'll be carried separately because I'm out of room in my small pouch and my big one is too big. Breakdown of all my tools below the cut
Tumblr media
From left to right, we've got:
- LOTO locks. Safety is first so my locks are first. These are American Lock model H-6698 in blue. Very heafty aluminum lock, does exactly what it's supposed to; locks things out and keeps me safe
- next is my Wiha compact allen key sets. One for metric and one for standard. These ones in particular are nice because of their length, makes for extra leverage.
- after that is my modified Icon magnetic flashlight. I modified it so the longer LED bar faced in towards the battery so it can be used upside down or as a work light. USBc rechargeable and very handy
- taking center stage is my Klein Tools insulated screwdrivers in philips and slotted (flat head). They're well used so I don't use them for any work that would actually require insulated tools as the 1000V rating can't be trusted or verified. Probably my most used tools
-second to last is my trust adjustable hammer. It's a Craftsman model CMMT81623 and it's great at rounding off nuts and bolts or doing percussive maintenance. Has custom dog bone engraving (I did it by hand, don't judge)
-and finally, my trusty toughbuilt cliptech pouch. I love these because they have a quick release mechanism that means I don't have to fight it to take it off and I don't have to take off my belt either. Very convenient. I have a larger one that I use for big jobs, especially electrical jobs because it's been modified to hold my multimeter and some other useful tools.
That's all for edc except for my keys (not pictured for obvious reasons) and my radio, which isn't anything special. If this is something people are interested in, I can go into more detail or even do a full toolbox tour (at least, what I'm allowed to show, I do still work for a company haha)

Skincare step 1: cleansers
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gentle cleansers are like a soothing hug for your skin, delicately washing away the day's impurities without stripping its natural oils. Incorporating a gentle cleanser into your skincare routine is essential for maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion. By choosing a mild formula, you're not only showing your skin some love but also ensuring that it stays balanced and nourished. So, embrace the tender touch of a gentle cleanser and let your skin glow with happiness
Tumblr media
I personally have normal-sensitive skin so I choose to use gentle cleansers. I love Korean and Japanese skincare products, and I really enjoy the brand Cosrx I've used them for years and I've never had a bad experience with their products. I'll be doing more posts about in-depth and high-end products you can add to your skincare but for today my suggestions are basic but reliable cleansers
(I will be also doing an overall full-step skincare routine for glass skin as well as individual step-by-step posts soon💋 ) Direct links for all product recommendations are available on my pintrest located on my seriousskincare board

Why Your Kitchen Knives Lose Sharpness Faster Than You Think (and How to Fix It) Maintaining sharp kitchen knives is essential for efficient and safe food preparation. However, many home cooks underestimate how quickly knives can lose their sharpness after sharpening. The rate at which a knife dulls depends on several factors, including the type of steel used, cutting techniques, and maintenance practices. Understanding these elements can help prolong the sharpness of your knives and enhance your culinary experience.
Understanding Knife Sharpness and Dulling
A knife's sharpness is determined by the fineness of its edge. Over time, this edge can degrade due to various factors:
Cutting Surfaces: Using hard surfaces like glass or granite can accelerate dulling.
Food Acidity: Cutting acidic foods can corrode the blade, leading to a dull edge.
Improper Storage: Storing knives loosely in a drawer can cause the edges to knock against other utensils, dulling them faster.
The Role of Steel Types in Edge Retention
The type of steel used in a knife significantly influences its edge retention—the ability to maintain sharpness over time. Different steels offer varying balances of hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance:
Carbon Steel: Known for its sharpness and ease of sharpening, carbon steel can dull relatively quickly and is prone to rust if not properly maintained.
Stainless Steel: Offers better corrosion resistance but may not hold an edge as long as high-carbon steel.
High-Carbon Stainless Steel: Combines the benefits of both, providing good edge retention and corrosion resistance.
For instance, VG-10 steel, a high-carbon stainless steel, is renowned for its sharpness and durability. It contains 1% carbon, 15% chromium, 1.5% cobalt, 1% molybdenum, 0.5% manganese, and 0.2% vanadium, contributing to its fine structure and edge retention.
Blade Advisor
Average Dulling Rates Based on Steel Types
While specific data on the exact time it takes for different steels to dull can vary, general observations include:
Carbon Steel Knives: May require sharpening every few weeks with regular use.
Stainless Steel Knives: Might maintain their edge for a couple of months before needing sharpening.
High-Carbon Stainless Steel Knives: Often retain sharpness for several months, depending on usage and maintenance.
It's important to note that these are general estimates, and actual dulling rates can vary based on usage patterns and maintenance practices.
Factors Influencing Knife Dulling
Beyond steel composition, several factors affect how quickly a knife dulls:
Usage Frequency: Knives used daily will dull faster than those used occasionally.
Cutting Techniques: Improper techniques, such as twisting the blade during cutting, can accelerate dulling.
Maintenance Practices: Regular honing and proper cleaning can extend a knife's sharpness.
Extending the Sharpness of Your Knives
To maximize the longevity of your knife's edge:
Use Appropriate Cutting Surfaces: Opt for wooden or plastic cutting boards instead of hard surfaces.
Practice Proper Cutting Techniques: Use smooth, straight cuts without twisting the blade.
Regular Maintenance: Hone your knife regularly and sharpen it as needed.
Proper Storage: Store knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with blade guards to protect the edges.
Maintaining Sharpness Over Time
Understanding the factors that influence knife dulling, particularly the type of steel, allows for more informed choices and care practices. By adopting better cutting techniques, selecting the right cutting surfaces, and maintaining proper storage, you can significantly prolong the sharpness of your kitchen knives. A well-maintained knife not only improves efficiency but also ensures a safer and more enjoyable cooking experience.

New quality tools!
(The „Hazet“ brand was invented in 1886 by Hermann Zerver and his company had its first location in Remscheid-Vierings in the Berg region. With only a little bit of local patriotism I can say: Good stuff.)

I won these tiny screwdrivers from some little game we did at work
Tumblr media
and I cannot wait to respond to a work order and very seriously look a nurse in the eyes and say “don’t worry I’ve got this” while holding a micro screwdriver
