I would highly recommend Portal and Portal 2 as primers for basically all your 3D games. Not only did Yahzee give The Orange Box in general a glowing review, but they teach you basic gaming mechanics almost intuitively.

Nah, Americans just don’t like to read the manuals, and they got a bad reputation in the late '70s and early '80s when they first put turbos into the cars, because you had to pull into the driveway, and let the turbo spin down for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If you didn’t, the turbo would seize and then shred itself when you turn the car back on.
Also American mechanics don’t like the fact that the engine is not in the configuration they are used to. It’s rotated 90° on the z axis and 45 on the x axis. Absolutely solid tanks if you actually read the manual, and followed the routine maintenance recommendations.
It’s not the actual turbo that gets gummed, the fuel system is what gums up, but for some reason it’s far worse on the turbo versions of the cars. I could put low octane into the non turbo SAABs I had, and it didn’t gum up the intake the way the turbo versions did. I don’t know why.
Pre GM SAABs. I’ve personally gotten 2 of my 5 to over 1,000,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Both manual transmission. A couple hundred of them have made it to 2,000,000 world wide. The lowest milage I killed a SAAB at was 789,000 miles. I hydroplaned into a semi on I-75, and the car still technically ran, but I gave it to my parents as a parts car. Just read the owners manual, and be absolutely religious about basic maintenance.
Oh, and the turbos don’t like low octane fuel. It gums them up.

I was under the impression that SMCF is a professional troll. I don’t take anything they say seriously.
Or at a homestead scale.
Why do e bikes even have fenders? I’m not going off-road with the thing, and I cannot imagine trying to ride one where it actually rains, rather than pretends to rain.
IIRC somewhere over here someone offers Deep Fried Coke. I don’t know how one deep fries soda, and at this point I don’t want to ask.
If you’re eating them that regularly, it may be worth the savings to buy them dry, and soak overnight before cooking them. I dunno. It is worth it for me.
To quote an indecisive mollusk: “Everything is going just as planned!”
That’s the joke. An American is trying to start an IRA for themselves, and wound up at wildly the wrong institution.

I use stones now, but when I was learning to sharpen my knives, I used a Lansky Sharpening Kit. I learned the angles and what the stones do from the kit, and bought some good stones from Japan.
For my American friends, don’t bother with the stones at Harbor Freight. That’s the one tool that I have found that is just going to cause more frustration trying to use it, rather than just buying a good one.
