- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 2 weeks ago:
I’m going to risk there is none.
Many hand to hand combat weapons were bespoke to the user.
Using an example I’m fairly familiar with:
In Portugal, we have a martial art called jogo do pau. It uses a simple wooden staff. Today’s schools insist the staff has a standard lenght, width and shape.
An old school practitioner I had the pleasure to meet taught me the staff was always made to fit the wielder, not the opposite.
As a general guide line, it should have the lenght of the distance from the wielder’s armpit to the ground but there would be people that prefered longer or shorter staffs. Some people would prefer thinner staffs, nearly cylindrical in shape, others would prefers heavier, thicker, almost eliptical in profile. The amount of customisation and variation capable of being put into the weapon itself was so diverse, it made each staff unique.
I’d risk this same logic would apply to more classic weapons, like the flails you ask about.

If overall visibility was improved, the argument for onboard cameras would be half dead. If the concern is clearance for objects, apply proximity sensors, by owner request and option and preferably by aftermarket kits.
Telemetry can burn in a trash can.

I’ve heard people debating the feaseability of either removing the camera cluster aboard these cars and remove or disable the wifi module.

Because lazyness.
I’ve worn down a stove and two electric ovens, about to go on my third, over the course of twenty years, and I always aim for the simplest of the simplest possible.
No pyrolisis function, no steam function.
Just plain convection ovens, ventilated. And if non digital models are to be found, even better.

Instal the FDroid software shop.
Search “Newpipe” or “Tubular”.
Install one of the above.
Remove the regular YT client from your phone.
Done.

About that smell comment.
There are several registered cases of genetically related people that, unknowing they are related, develop attraction and engage in sexual activity. Some cases even mention the couple being more attracted to each other due to scent.
There’s a small article in Wikipedia here.
Now, for an anecdote: I knew a couple that was genetically related and they only discovered they were siblings because they tried to reconstruct their family tree through official records and things came out off.
They already had two perfectly healthy children when I met them. They kept their blood connection as private as possible but they intended to tell their offspring the whole story when they could understand all of it and its implications.
Now about the incest taboo: I find no issue in consenting adults engaging in sexual activity. Normalizing it, I find deeply troublesome. It would completely inbalance relatioships between family members and wreak havoc in the gene pool.

Put in cork plaster after that is down, finish it with a film of gypsum and it’s done for another 40 to 50 years.

What happened to the old fashioned “you’re a slob/slacker”?
Why does everything needs to automatically point to some sort of affliction? That is worrisome.

The pain others endure is no enjoyment for me, so I can only hope you surface from such experiences with no negative outcomes.

No. Plain and simple.

Cases like yours are unfortunate and I understand and respect those. I’m a fan of spice myself. Just not to the point it hurts me. I put spice in food to enhance flavours, not to cover it with a dose of pain.
If you can find it, try portuguese goat cheese or Azores cheese, long cure. Very flavourful but incredibly intense.
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 6 months ago:
I can get sensory extremes by walking outside, right now. I’m good on that front.
It’s clear I’m on the minority side here, no problem on that, but is it that weird to expect food to have flavour and not hurt me while I’m eating it? It seems reasonable.

Hey, long time no see!
But no. It’s food. Not torture.
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 6 months ago:
That is the problem.

Your point being?
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 6 months ago:
I do, thank you the concern. But self imposed torture is not something I enjoy. Nor recommend.
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 6 months ago:
There are too many bad taste jokes to be made on that.
- Comment on 🐀🔥🔥🔥 6 months ago:
I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.
What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?
Because at some point it all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.
