Wild hogs live in “packs” (“sounders”, actually. Lulz.) as well. On all fronts, the hogs should win. Some of the bigger hogs could easily outweigh a wolf 5:1.
These creatures are what nightmares are made of and I wish I could say I was joking or being sarcastic.
Could a pack of wolves separate a hog from its pack and kill it? Sure. Not all hogs are hell-spawn. Regardless, we are also talking about mother nature’s true version of Medusa.

I admire your creativity, I seriously doubt that would help. You would only get really pissed off mutant hogs after the dust cleared.

Give the kids guns too.
That was intended to sound sarcastic, but most kids I knew in rural America have been around guns since they were big enough to carry them. I personally started shooting a .22 when I was in kindergarten and was just hardly big enough to shoot a 30-06 when I was about 10 or so. (I am very much the liberal gun owner type, btw.)
While I can’t change the past, I do find myself questioning the logic of my experience at times. For yet another direction shift, my girls are both trained in gun safety, but that started years before I let them even touch a gun.

Wild hogs would destroy a wolf. These creatures are no joke.

- Comment on Google changes Chrome extension policies following the Honey link scandal 2 weeks ago:
I installed it and tried it on occasion, but it never worked for finding any coupons. It was the only extension I had that I kept disabled because I always thought it’s interaction with the browser and web pages was sus as fuck.
TBH, it was more of a curiosity I kept around to explore one day. I also dissect and detonate malware a few times a week, so I just treated Honey as such.
(That folder named “malware” on my computer is actually real. I pitty the poor soul who steals it thinking its just a joke to store my private data.)
Unrelated: I finally got my first .SVG downloader today, actually. Whoever the fuck thought it would be a good idea to add a script tag to SVG needs to be put down.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
What kind of American, is my question. For larger sub-types, we have the great state of Canadia up north, Texas in the south, Mexico in the south-south, then and then the Panama canal, that splits us from Antarctica. (The rest is just volcanoes and rain forest; Not even worth mentioning, really.)
In the Murica, we have about 50 states, each with their own ideology, culture, food, language, road system, religion, insurance policies and vehicle preferences. By far, the biggest ideological differences spawn from if you fight for Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s.
Texas is by far the most independent. Unless there is a hurricane, measles outbreak, electricity shortage or need for other commodities from the other bastard states… They will temporarily join the Union followed by absolute denial that they need the rest of the states for anything. So completely independent and we should be scheduling our next civil war shortly, but the forms for that got lost by the USPS which is yet another service they have never needed.
But yeah, we have a million different sub-cultures here is my point. It might be easier to call us out by car type, TBH. The differences between a Ford/Chevy-American and say, a Honda or Tesla-American are very telling. The Tesla-Americans are going through a transition now, so we can put them off to the side.
So, with all of that, bunching is all up as “THE muricans” is really silly. Most of us can’t afford the trip through the Rockies to mix and mingle with rumored the California and the Washington anyway. (Those “states” don’t even exist to me.)
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 3 weeks ago:
I have my doubts about that. Most of the mass posters are too “conservative” and lean extremely hard into stereotypes. They take racism and bigotry just a bit too far in many cases and it doesn’t quite align with actual conservative bigots and racists that I know.
It wouldn’t be surprising if most of the “conservative” communities are part of the same troll farm that lives primarily on other instances.
This is all speculation, of course. But, organized campaigns to spread discourse on social media are real and some of these trolls are really good at what they do.

Cool. Actually, I think that is where I heard about the original formulas not being ideal. (My brain can store random factoids really well, but will always discard the source.)

I believe that was one of its first proposed uses, but is too brittle (or breaks down too quick?) to be a “proper” medical solution.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
I am an American, use Android and even wore a mask. Most of all, I would have no problems punching a Nazi.
Meh, freedom is just a buzzword that was brainwashed into us at a young age in school and stuff but hardly anyone actually knows what their rights actually are.
As far as phones are concerned, people use them because they look like they are built for children and they are supposedly easier to use. Even though I hate Apple, I can say that they did a decent job on their UI. It’s a local brand as well. The times I was in Germany, Mercedes and BMW were super common, from what I saw. (Why do all Germans drive those expensive things???)
Also, please remember we have a ton of sub-cultutes, sub-sub-cultures, many dialects of American English and importantly, a massive amount of land. (Land is important, because more separation breeds major cultural differences.)
There are some places in this country where I feel like an alien, and I am just an average white dude and I have lived in North Carolina, California, Florida and now Colorado. All of those states are vastly different, culturally.
Most of all, just because I am American, doesn’t make me like anyone else here, contrary to what .ml memes say. I am not my government, I dont eat McDonald’s 10x a day and I am not a fascist. (I do own a reasonable sized truck though. My wife does a ton of gardening work, so it’s logical.)
Don’t generalize people by their phones.
- Comment on Are conservatives mad about trans people or they just mad they get walk around out of the closet while they have to leave the white sheets at home? 4 weeks ago:
Conservative politicians always need someone or something different to blame for made up reasons. While the right has historically berated LGBT, they will bring one issue or another into focus.
They identify something as problem, tell people that the root of all of their problems is that something. If I blame my issues on something else and then tell people I am their savior and the only person that can fix that problem, I could end up looking like a hero when I do absolutely nothing about it.
Also, stupid people in large groups are easy to manipulate. If one or two people start getting mad about something, the whole group will latch on to that emotion. A couple of key words or chants are of use too! If you have ever seen a trump rally, he just says a few key words to piss people off (Mexicans, immigrants, tans, libruls, etc…) and whatever else he says after that is irrelevant.
Most importantly, the targets of hate need to be vulnerable but portrayed as extremely evil.
If you browse through conservative media, notice they rarely reference anything about policy or improving the lives of people. If they do, it’s directly tied to blaming others for a problem. (Left media can be just as bad, but are nowhere near the machine of bigotry that right media is.)
I could go on for a while, but you should get the idea.

- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 5 weeks ago:
Not at all. It absolutely is horrendously complex at times, so be warned. However, it’s an awesome learning project, if you like those kinds of things. (Paw through YouTube for photogrammetry projects as it’s really neat stuff.)
I “stole” a big fossilized rock specimen by taking a 4k video with my phone from all angles. Extracted a few thousand frames and rebuilt it. It doesn’t look like much without the surface texture, but I was able to generate a reasonable 3D model. (Meshroom has also been the only app to thermal-throttle my 7950X3D.)
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 5 weeks ago:
Photogrammetry (with Meshroom) or 3D scanning (point cloud alignments and processing has some beast requirements).
Meshroom would gladly use any resources it can find within a 20 mile radius.
