It can also be quite strong if you use the right processing, though obviously not on the level of steel and such. It's probably my favorite metal. Yes I have a favorite metal shut up

A White Guy posted:Deer are the bane of my existence. In this last week, I've had two close calls with a deer in broad daylight (usually mid-afternoon), for a total of 12 times a deer has just darted out in front of my ride in the last month. I have no clue what it is, but for some reason in August, these deer want to die. I know multiple people that have had their cars hit by deer, including one that had it happen while they were fully stopped waiting for the deer to cross the road safely. I've never seen an animal with such little regard for its own safety as a deer when it's running.

Mischmetal is pretty cool too. You can shave bits of it off and they autoignite. It's much better than a cigarette lighter for starting camping stoves because you can just shave a piece off and let it fall through the gas.

I think the issue is they don't want to hit you or the other way around, but their brains are wired assuming you are trying to chase them. They go for the juke, or try to run through you assuming you'll get out of the way and RIP. You not wanting to kill and eat the deer is just not a possibility in their minds so they do all sorts of weird poo poo. Doesn't help that they seem to be too dumb to learn.

Sagebrush posted:i don't think deer actually know about metabolic energy demands Thousands of years of mating caused female deer to be impressed by large antlers even if they don't realize that bigger antlers means their potential mate is more genetically more fit for reproduction. And, even if the deer did learn that, it would probably be bad, because I learned in my human geography class today that more educated women tend to have more economic opportunities and end up having less children. So maybe instead of issuing hunting licenses, states should be opening deer colleges.

The only safe assumption about peacocking is it happens because the mate thinks it looks kicking rad and everything beyond that is an extra bridge to prove.

Living in Michigan, you can tell who hasn't lived here very long if they see a deer while driving and go 'Oooooh, how cuuuute!' instead of immediately scanning the other side of the road and saying 'Where are the others?!'. gently caress that deer and all it's relatives.

Also true for rural Minnesota. I had a coworker hit a deer on the way in to work and she was more pissed that it got up and ran off than she was about her car, because as she put it, the car is busted up regardless, but she didn't even have any venison to show for it.

Is it legal to keep deer you hit with your car there? I think it's illegal in Texas.

Deer suck more depending on where you are. Coastal southern deer are timid and will run with the car, then try and cross directly into the side of it. High mountain deer will stand there and look at you like "whats up" eatin' right next to the road.

I don’t think it’s legal here in Ohio to keep the carcass, which is fortunate for the deer around here. If you drive by the park near me, it’s almost easier to hit a deer than to avoid one. They just stand in the middle of the street and stare at you. They’ll move if you honk your horn. Eventually.

The stupidest deer I've seen was the pack that walked up an on ramp next to a bridge near me. From there, they could either cross the Illinois River against traffic or go up hill for a quarter mile into a residential area. I did not stick around to see which they decided.

A lot of the time they're going 85 on a motorcycle, so hitting a deer results in two lumps of bone shard filled hamburger.
