I suggest viewing Why Syndrome is an Incredible Villain by Rockotar. It's an interesting analysis of Syndrome and how his abilities, motivations, actions etc. were a product of jealousy, hatred and revenge obsession that in some ways drove him to become what he came to loathe the most… and all of it started from something that Mr.Incredible barely even remembers as a dismissible annoyance.

naisu. I've finally had luck with compost for the first time and I think the difference was not using the black plastic container and instead just piling it up on the ground. I'm guessing the container in full sun got too hot and dried things out whereas the pile is in the shade most of the time. The container also made it pretty much impossible to flip/mix it up occasionally but that alone shouldn't have prevented it from breaking down but rather would just slow things down (hot vs cold compost). Still didn't make enough to replace imports but it's nice to get some use out of grass clippings and kitchen scraps.
Speaking of compost the county gave everyone a green bin for free and collects organics biweekly. On the one hand it's nice for those people that don't garden but it goes to show how valuable your biomass is and Ill be damned if Im going to give it away just to have the city sell it back to me. That bin will be collecting dust in the garage

No problem. Another tip: to resheath hold the sheath at the very top then run the back of the blade along your thumb until yhe tip gets to the hole. Sure you probably have seen it in movies.

I also learned a little on tonfas and sais. Shotokan they basically teach you all the ninja turtle weapons + tonfas. Intersting truvia, but the reason that collection of weapons came into being is because they were all originally farming tools and peasants weren't allowed to own swords so they came up with farmingjutsu.

Lovely sparring with the rugger, bauernwehr, hauswehr or whatever kind of shorter messer everyday folk could carry. I guess they put in perspective what langes messer are. Some thoughts from my amateur eyes:
>long enough that cutting plays are +/- the same and maintaining the bind is still feasible
>possibly too short that your point can't reach opponent's body (go for arms?) if their arm is not in a shortened postion while in a bind (unless you have the strength/structure to collapse their extended arm?)
>which means more cutting or thrusting away from the bind and less point work with opposition?
>either way, offhand defense + grappling even more applicable simply from shorter distance
Been thinking of how much knife fighting can be derived from the sword so this is fascinating. Die Freifechter has more stuff with them:
https://youtu.be/MyjyWnpZWsE (same fight, different pov)
https://youtu.be/ve_MBYkXNbs (another sparring)
https://youtu.be/-ND1SpgJdL0 (glasgow messer plays with bauernwehr)

Love watching Oskar at play. His form and flow are just *chef's kiss*. Fencers like him are so enjoyable to watch.
Virtual Fechtschule (Oskar), Die Freifechter and Messering Around are good channels if you are interested in messer.

what would probably be best is a straight recessed slot, since the force would be perfectly radial and basically impossible to strip, and the slot shape would keep the screw on the driver. the more corners you add (triangle, robertson, hex, torx) the less strong they become
>https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/what-is-pozidriv-is-it-different-from-phillips/
this repeats my point:
>The Torx, or Star, drive style vastly changes the design of the drive recess. Due to the star having six points of contact (6-Lobe), the screw uses a truly radial force rather than an axial force. Phillips and Pozidriv screws use an axial force to drive the screw which is not as effective and is more likely to cause cam-out. For manual applications, Torx screws are quickly becoming the most popular choice.

 No.41613

>>41612
The problem with the Torx is that unlike other ones trying to improve radial force, it's insert is so fucking fragile that it can't be used for anything heavy duty, and even with light use it wears out too easily, I cannot count the number of times I've had to repair doors or computers where the fucking things have their contact points grind into uselessness if you look at them wrong.

 No.41615

>>41614
When repairing a computer they don't come with spare screws, and if you're replacing a splintered door-frame and the screw thread is fine, then they should be re-usable, but when you have to be hyper-gentle with the head, it makes everything harder, and screwing them in is harder too, an overall pain in the ass, hence my loathing for them.
Also Phillips, flathead and even hex screws are much more common in most areas, and so the appropriate screwdrivers are more common meaning I need to go out of my way to retrieve a specific screw-driver head just for this one type, which is an additional annoyance.

 No.41616

sounds like typical M3 screws in tapped holes. I don't see how you can fuck those up

For context about the LARC LX, pic related, it weighed 97 tons and could carry 100 tons of cargo. Each wheel had its own engine. The soldiers on the photograph are adult men for a sense of scale. It was primarily a beach lander and they were retired from service in 2001. Truly some WH40K shit, especially considering its open-top design; a single 152mm shell, surface-surface missile or air-surface missile and you've got 200 men or a couple armored vehicles down.

>Why didn’t the Soviets un-suppress suppressed [electric car] technology?
Path dependency and opportunity cost, the world had already developed more expertise in gasoline cars by the time the USSR ventured seriously into civilian automotives. The cost of developing a "lost" technology from nothing again is greater than adopting an already working solution. Further more, developing a new technology means the initial products are typically inferior and it takes even more investment and time before new tech becomes superior to old tech. The USSR had limited resources so it went with the low-risk known solution.
Even then the USSR did experiment and pioneer many Hydrogen-Cell and Electric vehicles, but they were limited, primarily because they were still being developed to be more effective and mass-producible when the USSR fell. Besides Public Transport was much more available there. >>6035
