Only time I asked an actual Gurka about the cho on a Khukuri he said "it's a khukuri, so it has a cho". There are all different shapes, too.
Not gonna keep blood off your hand if you really slug somethin' with it though... My take is it's a religious symbol. Also been told it keeps the grind transition from turning into a stress riser when it's hardened-they harden 5160 with poured water so its pretty abrupt.

one the cho rumors involves Shiva, and womanly parts, and religious nature, but not many people who know will admit it, and those that don't have a lot of good guesses, so...

it's just there.

there's many a khukri shaped object, cho or no cho... but flat stock imho does not a khuk make
 
Hope it misses you guys Dubz. That system seems to be pretty wicked. It is gonna be a long night for whoever it does hit.
 
Ummm, I step away and....

Look, negative judgments aimed at anyone who is gay? Not a good idea in this context. Politics and religious beliefs aren't good fodder for the Snark thread, and as long as I'm a mod, we'll keep it that way.
 
On a more benign note, I finally finished off the Osiris Pale Ale Todd gave me. I've been slowly rationing them,

Just to get my 2 cents in. James Terrio isnt wrong about anything he has said about Nicholson files. But what he didnt say is besides all of that, there still the best file on the market. There are tons of other file makers out the there. Use em, hate em, waste your money. Whatever you want to do. Your gonna go to a Nicholson file in the end, so it really doesn't matter. Just saves you some money. You may find better files out there. But, they will be in antique stores and they wont be worth the cost if yo find them.................... I really dont think JT will disagree with me............he probably hit the bourbon tonight.

I like Nicholson files and think they are a great value....also (grain of salt, I'm NOT a professional) the Sandvik files ROCK and are not that much more expensive than the Nicholsons. Except for when they're free. Which is just hands down the absolute BEST value.

I think we did a pretty good job of not going off on that tangent. I may have missed the politics and religion discussion but I'm glad I did!

there are isolated storms and systems. The storm hitting the flyover states is a system cause it is huge and moving.

Thanks for educating me :D

I'm not quite sure that it was my job to teach you anything. Let that be a lesson for you.



I think it's actually referring to the air masses (and pressures) that cause storms rather than the storms themselves...i.e. (that means "for example" in teach-speak) "a strong low-pressure system" (which usually means there is a real good chance of thunderstorms). So then the "system" starts spinning off thunderstorms, hail or tornadoes and then everyone who wants to sound knowledgeable about that sort of thing say things like "that is a massive low pressure system moving into the Great Lakes". But really, don't take it from me...I'm no astrologist metrorgas......weather guy.
 
yeah...one more thing. Since I Cbear and Woody logged in I'll just assume there'll be a new snark thread when I wake up in the AM. So..............


Just like the US v. Ghana today, I.B.T.L.
 
Actually the storms move along the fronts. High pressure into low pressure I believe, actually I don't remember if high pressure is the cold or the hot fronts.

Hail only comes with a tornado (generally) because it's actually the rain coming down, then getting sucked back up in the tornado and gaining mass from freezing and then coming down again. That is why if you cut one open it looks like the rings on a tree. There are some times you'll find hail when in a city with a lot of skyscrapers cause the wind sheer off the buildings will cause the rain to fall up instead of down. Which is also a REALLY trippy thing to see, like if you're sitting on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building in Chicago, and it's raining you will see it hitting the bottom of the window before the top of the window.

The only thing I REALLY remember from meteorology class is the cloud formations. My favorites are the cirrus clouds, they are the whispy looking clouds, the cumulonimbus clouds are the stacked up ones, and the cumulus clouds are the fluffy marshmallow looking clouds.
 
Hope it breaks up before it hits you DJ, this sucker looks pretty angry!

I was on Facebook today and one of my buddies posted up about this new bar in Tempe that is a video game bar. You can come in and play video games and get some beers and food.
