I feel these are all dated and as an advanced society we have far better option. An arm length, 2cm braided steel cable will provided equap parts control and flexibility while also allowing the entire length to provide impact force.

For a handle, a hand and a half of polycarbonate tube slide over the base of the cable and epoxied in place will provide a sturdy base, you can then wrap it in sports tape or paracord and even add a wrist strap as you epoxy it.

Lastly for the head, I believe there is onlly one obvious option. This will provide both a weighty enough impact to be lethal to the man and a weighty enough insult to be lethal to the pride.

Sorry, I thought the context was in there. This is for the US in light of the current situation going on in Minisota. Though I’m more than happy to take international information, especially for south and central America, any practical knowledge is still more than I have.

My first exposure to the transformers wiki was because of the web comic Shortpacked by David Willis. I went looking because I couldn’t believe the fandom was as ridiculous as he portrayed.

I was so wrong, if anything he undersells it most of the time.

Had the same issue at my gas station, pick up a cheap clothes iron, it will heat the area enough to relax it. You can also use a heat gun if you’re careful. Once it lays down right, weigh it down again and let it sit until fully cooled. You may need to do it in stages if the curl is bad.

I can’t speak for the modern thing. I understand the gesture as either the beginning of a chef’s kiss or a gesture to hold the attention on what you ar saying.

While contextually it’s not specifically this, I have a selection I use at work thatmay get the point across.

👌when I really only need to ok or confirm my reading of the thing

🤌well said, great post, stuff like that. Occasionally I get to use it sarcastically when someone bungles up and hits send instead of Backspace.

🎉yay, awesome, any sort of celebratory language, like the ok but with enthusiasm

🧡everyone knows what heart means

🦀this is my little secret. I use it randomly on meaningless posts to sow confusion among my workplace. No one knows what it means, no one understands why I use it, but at the same time no one has been willing to ask me. Sometimes I drop it on a message in a particularly dull part of a teams chat and watch people absent mindedly add crabs to a post because they instinctively click it to show engagement. It’s honestly the little rebellions that make the day move along.

It’s very much this. They aren’t trying to introduce you to this thing that’s been an institution for longer then any of us have been alive. They’re advertising to take up the limited realestate in our conscious minds.

To really capture the full spirit of it, I think the the closest thing would be a YouTuber asking you to join their Patreon. The point of the Be Kind Rewind slogan was that you putting in a little effort now meant that the video store clerk or the next renter wouldn’t have to do it and could instead do their actual job or just watch the movie in convinence. If everyone did it by default, there would be no need for the slogan and the stickers.

YouTube Patreon plugs hit all those marks. It’s a small inconvenience that you do because it means they can do their actual work in producing media and the next guy can watch content without having the inconvenience of paying for it. If everyone did it by default, they wouldn’t need to mention it in every episode. The only real difference is you’re trading your physical effort for your commodified effort.

My dude, you’re on a federated platform. You don’t think you’re going to dodge being lumped in with all the political dissidents and “terrorists” when they run out of trans kids to gas? It’s literally a death risk either way, this way just means you get to watch tv until they get you.

Sold. We just have to switch to a different pill before that two months is up. Literally 1% better is still better.

That’s like insinuating that I refuse to lose weight because I can’t lose 60lbs today. I’m literally saying I will take any movement what so ever if it means movement.

Honestly I’m sold. I’ll have to get everyone I know on board too.

I think you underestimate the term “improvement”. Lossing two fingers instead of three is an improvement. 8inches from the ledge is better than 4inches from the ledge even if either measure isn’t even one whole step. If in never going to see best then I’ll take any better I can get.

That’s cool. The shitty ranch fence around my yard is there to restrict dogs and yet they still shit on my lawn.

I don’t think this guy’s strongly worded yelp review is going to do much better.

Don’t forget Turing your face into a wolf and howling about it.

It’s only tyranny when it’s not them.

Fuck it. Chips on the table, china taking over america would be a net positive at this point. I’ve never bought into the “country bad because ideology different” bullshit we’re fed here in the us. As I can see from here, just about any other large nation assuming control would bring me everything I ask my government for as a default.

Very. Chess has been so over done that it’s basically a solved game. Professional level chess is a game of memorizing board states, it’s as much a battle of wits as karaoke.

Any stuff like item sorters or mob grinders or similar, exploit the game for x type stuff? What’s the item diversity like? One thing that burns me out in Minecraft is sorting everything comfortably.

I can promise that’s an urban legend. There are no reported cases of a human of any size being eaten by a pet Python. There are a few cases of humans being eaten by large Pythons in the wild, but these are also stupidly rare. A well fed bermese python, the largest common pet Python, can get to 15ft but is still not capable of eating anything larger than a newborn.
