If hammers were only useful for hurting people, yes, yes I would.

My head canon is like this. Sword guy is hanging out in his room, sitting in a lotus position, sword displayed on a wooden stand in front of him, candles arranged around him, sword guy deep in meditation.
All of a sudden, from the floor below, sword guy hears the unmistakable sound of someone breaking into his home. He does not fear. He does not panic. He stands up, grabs his katana, and calmly says, “at last, my time has come…”

In 2009, a John Hopkins University sword guy used a katana to kill an intruder.

We should legalize period-accurate piracy on the high seas. You can legally loot and pillage your way across the ocean…as long as you’re willing to do so using entirely 18th century tools and equipment. I just want to see a bunch of maniacs in a tiny wooden sail boat try and capture a giant modern cargo container ship.

All these expenses need to be kept in context. Sure, they’re on net paying $25 for your $15 of wage, but in turn they’re earning $40, $50, $100, or $200 off of your labor depending on just what kind of industry you’re in.

Just look at the stuff people say on Lemmy, to someone they will never even meet, ever.
That’s ridiculous! I will find you and flay your children alive! :D
- Comment on Why Evil Triumphs - Dennis Prager 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, most self-described Christians are in fact devil worshipers. If your religion leads you to hate, you worship Satan. If you believe in a God that makes people a certain way and then judges them for acting that way, you worship a demon. Most Evangelicals worship the Devil. They’re literally Devil worshipers.

Eh. The point is not to ensure everyone takes care of their health. The point is to make sure no one makes the space uninhabitable due to their BO.

I’m tired of your modern woke bullshit. Why are you trying to teach kids to read clocks with mechanical hands? Use a sundial like a normal person.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
Do you know how to read a sundial?
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
Nah let’s ditch the analog clocks and instead teach them sundials. That will really stretch their brains.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
We should make everyone mad. Don’t teach them to read analog clocks. Teach them to read digital clocks and sundials.
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 3 weeks ago:
If you live in an area that gets a lot of snowfall, buy a zamboni. Keep it in a garage. Then, when a big ice storm hits, your time will arrive! Take your zamboni to the city streets! While the city ice crews are trying to melt the ice, you’ll be out there thickening and polishing it to a glimmering shine! You’ll be the ying to their yang. The negative to their positive. You will be the balancing element in nature! Buy your zamboni, and take to the streets!

This is why I made my own bed, with my own two hands, out of solid Douglas for and southern pine. Let’s see AWS crash an inert object made of wood and metal.

If you really wanted to, you probably could track the guy down. Still have any old yearbooks? If not, the school probably keeps archival copies. You could go through old yearbooks of the appropriate age until you find the guy, then try to find him on Facebook or other social media. And asking through networks of friends and acquaintances could help in a similar way. Whether you want to or not is another matter, but 20 years ago isn’t that long. It should be entirely possible to track this person down if you wanted to badly enough.

- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 5 weeks ago:
If you can afford to, you should go for liability only coverage. We recently bought a new car and have comprehensive on it. But for years we just had a single old Toyota as our only vehicle. And we didn’t keep comprehensive on it. Instead we purchased the highest liability policy the insurance company sells. A car that cheap is a small part of our financial world; we can afford to replace it. But the potential damage a vehicle can cause? It’s very easy to cause a million in damages with any vehicle. Long term care and medical bills add up quick.
I recommended just sticking to liability if you can otherwise afford to replace a vehicle. It’s a lot easier to figure out what you’re buying when you’re buying liability coverage as well. If I cause an expensive accident, the company will be liable for it. They can’t easily weasel their way out of paying a fake amount. If I have a $1 million liability policy, and I lose a judgment for $1 million, there’s not much the insurance company can do but pay for it. In fact, their lawyers will be fighting the case for me, as they’re the ones who will ultimately have to pay if it fails. From an insurance purchase point of view, liability insurance is a pretty good deal. It’s easy to know what you’re purchasing, and it’s hard for the company to weasel their way out of payment on the back end.

Can we go for the good old fashioned lightning strike option? Nothing quite like an evil man being killed in a way indistinguishable from being smote by the wrath of an angry god.

I want a car that has a rear windscreen that can turn into a mirror at the push of a button. Really useful for dealing with men with tiny dicks who drive giant trucks

I actually did the paint job myself. Bought an old saw that needed some new paint, so I decided to have some fun with it.

I’m actually working on a PhD in the field. Whether that officially makes me a “scientist” I cannot say. But I have actually studied and done research in the field. Ask away!

Interestingly, the one glaring exception to this is hunter-gatherer lifestyles. They had to work less hours than modern day workers. Hunter gathered groups tended to evolve cultural practices that lead to constant population. When you’re living off the land, the land only gives what it gives. When your area is already near its population carrying capacity, there isn’t a ton to gain from putting in extra work. You go and gather what you need for the day, and that’s it. Getting extra will just mean more food that is rapidly spoiling, leaving less for tomorrow. Better to just sit in camp, sit around the fire, sing some songs, and conserve some calories.
