  • This is a very narrow and limited way of seeing music. Music can be created for a purpose and a setting but once it’s out there it has no boundaries beyond what you impose upon it. Somewhere Over the Rainbow was written for the Wizard of Oz but it’s not like the only way to enjoy it is in a movie theatre. Certainly, music can be more or less appropriate for certain activities and moods, listening to EDM to fall asleep might be self defeating. However, music made for games can evoke all sorts of mental states and people are free to find appropriate settings and uses outside of them to enjoy it.




  • I inherited a set and I agree, they’re perfectly decent knives that hold a good edge, but the handle takes getting used to. I use their paring knives and bone knife but use my second hand Spanish steel Henkels for mostly everything else, because I can practice home sharpening and make them look as ugly as I want without guilt. The biggest difference I noticed is that the simple wood handles offer way more options for holding the knife in different ways comfortably. There’s clearly a “correct” intended hold with the Cutco. They also feel heavy, which can sometimes be limiting.

    Even though I enjoy using mine I still wouldn’t recommend them, just based on how inexpensive a nice second hand set from other brands can be on the used market.
