Well, I can't say there's anything wrong with all-clad- and there's definitely a place for it- having some steel pans that have better conductivity is a good idea. Sometimes it's nice to have cast iron though, that holds onto heat for longer because of its bad conductivity. Have you ever looked at anything like Le Creuset or Staub, that heats like cast iron but doesn't have to be maintained in the same way?
It has been that way for the last 40 years. Ever since the loan industry discovered "Grandma's College fund for the kids." From what I have seen most schools are diploma mills. Local schools can not fail students (or get sued.)
HS and college are about building social networks and determine your 'Brand.'
I never finished my degree. True of many people in the computer industry of the 1980s and 1990s. I worked with people who had advanced degrees. PhDs really do not make for practical work outside academia.
It really comes down to a person's temperament. I heard that Steve Jobs told other people I had three PhDs. When people asked I told them I had the same education as Steve. Often I would have to add, No I did not go to Reed. (One of my cousins did though.) A lot of my friends went to Mills, which was a real school. Sadly it is no more, now another diploma mill for 'Grandma's college fund.'
What most people now have is a third grade education. I shared a cubicle with a bloke who was an Oxford graduate. He knew Latin like a second language. Most in the US barely know English language. What itdoesdid show is that people can follow the rules and follow instruction.
What the degree does is give the company CYI accountability when management FU. So much modern business in unrealistic and unsustainable. Everything focuses on Now, Now, Now. No sense of past or future.
I used to take my lunch breaks and visit the local surplus stores. (now eWaste is big business, controlled by international syndicates and exported overseas.) The shelves were packed with many "of the stuff dreams are made of."
Shun is a gateway knife -- nothing like the 'real' j-knives.
My sister-in-law has a PhD in geology and does good work outside of acadamia as well, so I don't disagree with you.
Too true…
Japanese steel is becoming more available lately for knifemakers

Why do police not use bait cars with standard transmissions? Because scofflaws can’t steal them! On the topic of car theft, Toronto, Ontario has just enacted a law that means one car stolen and your license is taken away for one week. Three offences, and you lose your license for the rest of your life!
Could you please clarify what you wrote? Reading that, I"m not sure that It's the theif that gets banned or the victim.
I f it's the former banning them for a week for the first 2 offences is going to fuck all and a lifetime ban is unlikely to be much of a deterrent either, as most these pricks don't have a license anyway, and if it's the latter thats just victim blaming, how about the legal system actually do it's job for once!
I guess my point is that painting with a broad brush is rarely accurate, and it seems we agree.
The penalties are different to the penalties in my post. I have edited my initial post on the topic.
I can only answer your question with a question. Why might you think the victim would be penalized? I concern myself with the penalty for stealing a car. Not the penalty for driving without a license. That is a whole other topic. So you might direct your question to the Ontario legal system, not to me!
Depending on the circumstances, some jurisdictions can impose a jail sentence!
Hand planes were almost obsolete, only to be worth big bickies nowadays with a return to woodworking hand tools.
With a restored one going for $500 and selling as quickly as it’s put to market.
The amount of these I used to see at antique stores before going for $5 to now is crazy. You battling to see any or they are asking $100
Writing a check comes to mind. I can't remember the last time I had to write one.

We should go into business together, I'm pretty sure old planes still sell for $5 to $10 where I live.
