my dude, my grandma fucked off when a military institute or some such about 250m away from her house got btfo. a friend of mine was on the other side of the mayoral building or w/e - the one on the other end from where the lenin statue stood on freedom square - got btfo rather soundly. he also sent me tons of photos he made of the city getting btfo. is kharkov a crater seasoned with salo? no. did it get (mostly precision) bombed? yes. i dont think it was under actual artillery fire much, but the vehicle carrying the explosives hardly matters.   > that's just the nature of war im in full agreement with you there, but that it is the privilege of those not getting btfo to keep a cool and rational head about it. when your immediate surroundings are getting bulldozed by explosive ordnance the greater good and geo political realities for some reason are very far from your mind. the ritter slicer i got is in the middle of the price range. its mediocre in terms of features - you cant reasonably place something like tupperware underneath, very thin slices are hard to pull off, no variable speed. but - so far i have yet to see it fail, ive been using it for over six years and its still chooching. on a german forum i saw a dude talk about how the lidl homebrew he had gotten failed him multiple times, so despite the primitiveness of the device it can be made like shit apparently. onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, ham, meat, mushrooms, every kind of bread, cured meats, carrots - thats about the range ive used it on. i also have a chinky kitchen machine with a rotary slicer insert - that might be more your speed depending on what you slice, its faster to use but also makes much poorer slices, and cleanup is a bother unless you dedicate a quarter of your dishwasher to it each time.
