You can sharpen a serrated knife with a vise (or jig) and a round or conical file, one tooth at a time. It is a very tedious thing to do.


I know some chefs and they all say that once a bread knife in their restaurant is done they recycle it and buy a new one - sharpening just doesn't work that well on serrated knives unless you send them to be professionally sharpened in an industrial machine, but then it's literally easier to buy a new knife.


There's woodworkers who buy unsharpenable saws and throw them away when they're not sharp anymore. There's also those that buy sharpenable and sharpen them themselves or send them to be professionally sharpened. Do what you like.

Although I get that this is sarcasm, I dont understand the underlying intent here.


Frustrated by people having terrible customer service experiences associated with their business but completely out of their control.


I read the paragraph you highlighted to mean that they (NICTL) are denying any liability for damages to your site and/or data that may occur due to "NICTL and it’s agents" exercising whatever security procedures they feel necessary.

Someday I would love to see a contract without a bunch of open-ended boilerplate.



If you don't mind my asking, are you making your own paper, and if not, what are you using for the pages of the book?


No, I don't enjoy pain and frustration that much. I get large 22 inch by 30 inch sheets and cut them down to size (do a search for 'Zerkall Book Smooth' if you want the exact material). I cut out four 10x14 pieces per sheet, which gives me one signature. A signature consists of four sheets of paper stacked, then folded in half to make a little booklet. That yields 16 pages. Then the signatures are sewn together during the binding process.

Edit to add: I would have loved to use real parchment for a more authentic end product, but that amount of parchment would have cost thousands of dollars.

Sadly, the true brilliance of secret laws and classified programs is that they place incredible barriers in front of anyone attempting to prove they have standing to sue, making constitutional challenges difficult, at best.

“Assuming you don’t know exactly what the government did, how could you possibly have a lawsuit that provides any sort of relief and provides and effective remedy?” Samp asks, “How could the plaintiff know what remedy to ask for when he doesn’t even know what’s happened?” --Richard Samp of the Washington Legal Foundation

> One of Kafka's best-known works, it tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed to neither him nor the reader.

The principal law enforcement reasons for the U.S. State Department to deny or revoke a passport are the existence of (1) a valid federal or state felony arrest warrant; or (2) a criminal court order, condition of parole or condition of probation that forbids departure from the United States (See 22 C.F.R. 51.60-51.62).

I find this kind of stuff awesome. Makes the developers seem more relatable, I guess.
