Best off asking this here. Though you have to be careful in there, it's a place of full of deviants where they talk about evil stuff like pch voltage, multipliers and load line calibrations and lord only knows what other evil. Bunch of miscreant weirdos! | ||

Except that I don't like oysters, so fuck that. Shrimp: why eat them raw? Sounds like a waste of an absolutely delicious creature. And yes, I've had shrimp sushi, and don't see any reason to eat them raw. Octopus: I guess, although I am not sure it's worth it. Similar story as shrimps, really. Fish, I don't see much difference between killing at the table as opposed to at a boat somewhere out in the ocean: you don't eat the fish while alive (at least, not those fish, I guess you might eat goldfish and similarly small fish while they squiggle, but doubt it tastes good unless you're a cat), except for the freshness. So, unless you're asking: "would you allow them to kill the animal in front of you to get fresher food", the answer to all of the above is no. If you're actually asking the question above, then: sure, as long as they aren't maltreated before that stage (like lobsters often are, and that's one reason not to eat lobster in restaurants, despite it being absolutely delicious). | ||

It's sometimes actually preferred to have them kill it right there, as it keeps the animal/fish from decaying (some food, unless preserved immediately, can lose their flavor very quickly). | ||

Pitches are saved in a massive file storage system (Probably digital now, but I don't want to presume) and, over time, producers choose and pick from these pre-selected films moreso than "pitched" films. Film rights are taken early and "saved up" until a franchise/genre gets popular and then they pour out with "copies" that, for the most part, were pitched to them MUCH MUCH earlier than whatever popular movie is out currently. So lets say Twilight gets big, the producers then go to their storage files and grab every tween flick vampire movie they already have on file and begin filming. Game changing blockbusters are ones that don't have a large pre-saved scripts--like when the Marvel Movies started getting big, a fresh fight for film right starts immediately because its hard to have a large save file of "pre-pitched scripts" for something that random writers don't have rights to. | ||

Can I safely eat the beef sold at supermarkets raw or should I look elsewhere? | ||

Get a fresh, good quality cut (don't eat minced meat or any other meat of dubious origin without cooking it). But a good piece of steak should be fine. Hell, the best way of eating many cuts is rare, which is basically raw inside. Edit: this was written with no specific knowledge about US supermarkets. | ||

Technically, any non-ground meats that are for the most part whole (the lest minced the better) should be okay to eat raw since they're usually served "raw" or "rare" and should be cooked as close to rare/raw as possible to maintain juiciness. When they aren't, mass recalls get called in immediately. So it depends on if you think you're the (1 to 10)/300,000,000 people in the US that got the unlucky batch. | ||

What the fuck do I buy? A double sided whetstone? If yes then would a 400/1000 stone be OK or is 1000 too coarse to do a decent job? | ||

Just make sure you sharpen it correctly, there is more to it than most people realize | ||

Here is what I use, the key advice is to sharpen as if you are intending on slicing a piece of the stone: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5l5HxQR.jpg) | ||

Maybe I'll be able to repair my messed up knife too ^_^ http://www.edgeproinc.com/Apex-Model-Edge-Pro-System-c3/ Got this a few years ago to sharpen my knife set. Its a great tool, its on the expensive side so if you're looking to use it for just one knife its probably not worth it. Financed the set by sharpening knives at $10 a pop for all my coworkers. | ||
