They actually mention that it could be used as-is where we would need to use steel reinforced concrete.

Where it really wins out is marine applications, which get stronger from reacting with seawater rather than weakening over time.

I don't think the rest of the panel could possibly make up for the painful memories of having to watch Michael Steele again.

Good quality Japanese blades are carbon steel, with no concessions to stainlessness at all. In a humid environment (my cellar, for example) carbon steel can grow that much rust in a week, easy.

You can get almost any steel to be really sharp, the difference in quality comes in with how long it holds that edge.

I've got balls of steel

Crane fell? Steel can't melt at that temperature. Fake news! Someone blame Obama, quick!

was that the origin of Blue Steel™?

Since those food processor blades have been recalled for being brittle and chipping into foods, I wouldn't suggest freezing them before use unless you have a steel deficiency in your diet.

Great video, but I really can't dig the bloody burgers.

Totally fake. What he was calling a hardened steel tool was clearly an aluminum billet. Adamantium could totally cut that!

You are gonna hate me now, but I grew up reading Dean Koontz and Stephen King years before the librarian at my middle suggested Lovecraft, so 12? My first Stephen King was Night Shift, with the eye in the middle of a mummified hand; Jerusalem's Lot ruined my ability to sleep. For some strange reason Lovecraft comforted me but King disturbed me lol -- My first Lovecraft reading was The Festival.

Anyway, it's my mom's fault, i jus read whatever she had lying around the house, which also included Mary Higgins Clark, Robert Ludlum, Danielle Steel, Michael Crichton, and who even knows what else.

Totally agree in having absorbed the material rather than fully understood. I mean shit, how does a 4th grader even under The Rising Sun? It's just shocking and strange. Like d3coding a new language.

I also read a lot of young adult thriller suspense books, notably Alfred Hitchcock's young readers books and short story collections. Ray Bradbury collections, random Asimov Foundation books, and old copies of Analog, that my dad would buy from local library sales. (Thas how poor people shop for books hahaha) He was the old school scifi guy, but not at all into horror.

I suppose I don't mind hacks. Reading the letters of Oscar Wilde changed my opinions on EVERYTHING. If Wilde belongs to the criminal class or what Danny Devito's character Frank terms the "Fringe" class, there must be some saving grace even in the intellectual crime of the hack writer.

At first I thought the helmet was in case of a crash.

Then I thought it was because of the low steel ceiling beams.

Then I thought no. It's to protect the rider's ears from the noise that thing must give off. Epic music can only do so much.

Still, I wouldn't say no to one, but as they say in Hungary "I will not buy this hoverbike, it is scratched."

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Happy Siftaversary. 11th is steel. http://holidayinsights.com/anniversary/year.htm Sifty would have to be happy about that.

I wore my old patinaed VideoSift tee to the markets today - I'll count that as a commemoration. Onwards!

The riddle of steel! Thanks!
