Trying To Understand The Japanese Katana

There's always the mayhem about the Japanese katana to the point that it's exaggerated. After doing some research, Understanding the Japanese katana would at least help consider some of the misconceptions about the sword itself. The process of steel folding There is the myth that the folding the steel took up to a million times. That statement really made me go, "HUH?!" because I guess that's just pretty impossible. Folding of steel happened during the manufacturing process was because of lower quality steel back then. To make quality steel out of what was available, iron sand was purified for 72 hours straight to get rid of the slag and later, the tamahagane had uneven carbon content. It required heating and breaking to find which ones where harder steel (kawagane) and softer steel (shingane). The kawagane are all stacked together, they are covered in Japanese paper, muddy clay water and straw ash to help even out the carbon. The process of folding is done. ...

Satirical News: Alan Impurisima Slammed Yet Again During Mamasapano Case Reopening

After the Mamasapano Massacre case that led to the deaths of the SAF-44 was reopened a year after the incident, resigned Philippine National Patola Chief Alan Impurisima was slammed yet again. Further investigation had shown that Impurisima has had several other cases that need to be answered. Based on investigation and the guilty plead of Getulio Napunas, Impurisima still has much to account for. "Just because he crucified himself on Good Friday last year doesn't absolve his offenses. There have been too many complaints about Impurisima aside from the SAF-44 trial. I don't really care what he says in the court. An advice and an order are the same in terms of legality. He has violated chain of command. When you are suspended, you don't show up for work." said Senator Judge Miriam Defensor Santiago on the reopening of the case.

Satirical News: Ed Boon Announces Mortal Kombat XL: Philippine Edition Coming Out Soon!

After President Nobita was suspended for his rather tactless statement on the cancellation of Mortal Kombat X for the last generation systems (PS3/XBox 360), Netherrealm Studios has announced yet another development for Mortal Kombat XL which will be exclusive to the Philippines. In an interview, Ed Boon of Mortal Kombat fame mentioned, "President Nobita deserved to be suspended from Playstation Network. I was not happy with the inability to downgrade Mortal Kombat X. By now, I guess last generation console gamers may have saved up so we have presented Mortal Kombat XL but we're carrying out Philippine Edition. I hope this game will teach the president to behave himself on Playstation Network."

Planning To Get A PS4 Already?

Getting the latest video game console is not in my top priorities because I don't need it. I'm getting sad over the Mighty No. 9 delay and many more. Just because I can afford a PS4 right now doesn't mean that I should grab it immediately.  So Mortal Kombat X is getting a "komplete edition' though why name the upgraded disk into XL? This is not a shirt and even if you pre-order the game, still shouldn't it be called Mortal Kombat X: Komplete Edition instead? It's a good thing that the PS3/XBox 360 versions were cancelled and/or that I didn't immediately get a PS4 for just one game. The game may have some of its shortcomings but I'd like to see how I'd actually enjoy what's more or less a complete set.

Is There No Such Thing With Being Bad At Math?!

I might share this random view. While the speaker has some valid points like Math requires practice, I don't agree with everything he says. I don't agree that there's no such thing as being bad at Math or that there's no such thing as a Math person. I would like to really address that his "tons of study" argument might be based on biases like the leftists say, "We have tons of study to show protectionism works." even when it doesn't.  Anybody can learn the basics in Math like the basics of Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus if they study hard. What needs to be noted is that not everyone can handle higher Mathematics but they can certainly achieve something with introductory Mathematics. It's just like my idiotic Math teacher before who's still stuck with teaching Elementary Mathematics even after two decades. This is funny considering he mentioned he wasn't that good in Math in this video which came before he said, "Th...
