  Thanks for the link to the book. Im guessing the person had to swing it almost like a one handed golf swing to get momentum. I can see how being off by a little leads to serious injuries.

  This reminded me of a mini documentary on helping subsistence farmers in India. Since the farms were small and irregular, they couldn’t recommend powered harvesters to be shared. They basically squatted down and used sickles. It was a whole family affair as kids as small as 3 were needed to harvest quickly and get it to market.

  They introduced scythes with baskets to catch and softly drop the grain or whatever to the side. Image

  this isn’t that documentary, but it does show the slow going of using a sickle at first. It then shows how much faster the scythe is.

  The documentary also showed how some were reluctant as the kids were free and basically the sickle was how it had always been done. So they had contests of 5 farmers against one guy on the scythe and a kid picking up the wheat and putting it on a cart. I think it was 30 meters long. The scythe had the job finished and helping the kid finish putting the grain in the cart before the other farmers had gotten halfway.

  That cord is too short. It has to be 50ft minimum so you can walk around and into the living room taking out anything on the counters.

  I finally got medication for my anxiety. You mean to tell me my jaw hurting half way through the day due to clenching isn’t normal? My shoulder blades aren’t supposed to cover my ears. Almost 20 years of bullshit. I hope I get diagnosed for my probable ADHD soon.

  If you dip, tape the rag to the bottle and close it there’s no spillage. Safety first!
