Just FYI, the cheaper J.A. Henckels knives are from J.A. Henckels International, their "cheaper" brand, where the knives are made in China. The higher end J.A. Henckels brand (no International on the end, or sometimes prefix/suffixed with Zwilling) are the top tier German-made knives and I'd guess are what Chef Ramsay is talking about. That is not to say that the International knives are bad by any means, it's just the $70 knife set is most likely manufactured under a different umbrella in a different factory and manner than his knives.

You can generally identify the difference by the logo: the International version has just one man on it, whereas the Non-International/Zwilling version will have the two men on it.

* It's worth noting, however, that some International products do appear to be made in Germany and not China, as I've read, but it seems YMMV on that front - best bet is to check the box.

My name is ASAC Schrader, and you can go fuck yourself.

I think it's for a 'just-in-case' scenario - if the treatment stopped too early, and not all of the amoeba is killed, it could gain resistance to the drug and "re-infect" the host again but this time where the drug which saved their life is no longer effective for them.

It's the same reason why if you're prescribed antibiotics for two weeks you don't stop taking them even if you feel all better again - you can't guarantee just by feeling better you've killed all of the bacteria. It's how antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming so prevalent.

The temperature has remained within acceptable levels.

What do you consider to be acceptable levels?

Just ask Delane how many guys have tried to ask her what's novelsys... on the bus.

Sounds more like a conversation starter to try to pick her up.
