@f00l@RiotDemon@sarahsandroid@UncleVinny Maybe the meta-concept is that after you’ve spent $180 for a cheese knife, next time you see one on sale, you might think, “hey, I already paid $180 for a cheese knife - I don’t need another.”
I just checked, and I have 9 cheese knives - wait, 10, there’s one here on the desk I use as a letter opener …
@f00l@RiotDemon@sarahsandroid@tinamarie1974@UncleVinny I do like cheese, but I have one wire slicer I use for most of it, except the soft stuff, in which case I just use a regular butter knife. It’s just that cheese knives seem to accumulate - they come with cutting boards, there’s one in that knife set someone gives you, when you buy a nice kitchen knife at a yard sale they always say “here, take the cheese knife, too”, there’s two in the drawer already when you move into a new place …
@ThunderChicken went with a different rewards card (Fidelity) in June after 19 years with Cabelas. I used to have the entire 16 digit account and 3 digit CVV memorized. No more. Now I have to read the whole thing and flip it. Like a rookie!
