Ian McCollum thought it would be a great idea to publish a memoir by a neo-nazi, so maybe don't give him any money.

And he did that eyes open from the start, had to unsubscribe from the plonker. :argh:

I am interested in most phases of data processing.
My older brother got me a sweet-looking mall katana when I was like 7. It had no edge to it whatsoever, but ninja poo poo was huge back then and I was the only kid in the neighborhood with a sword.

For the record, there was actually a term for lovely mass-produced katanas in the Sengoku era - kazuuchimono, which were expected to last one or two battles (which may have been an improvement on the life expectancy of the conscripted farmers they were handed to).

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

For gardening; long handled loppers(large two handed secateurs) are much better than flailing around with a billhook. :kiddo:

I can recommend the cleaver from Sainsburys. It has a good heft to it that's great for going through bones. Freshly stoned with custom grips in case your hands get... wet.

I was having a conversation with our warehouse health and safety person about how they get more people injuring themselves on 'safety' knives than they did with actual stanley knives because they just assume the blade wont cut them or something.

I reckon I could do with a good cleaver. Don't really have much call for chopping through bones but seems like it'd be useful for sweet potatoes. A normal knife always gets stuck in the middle when you're trying to halve a big one.

What is a safety knife for you because the safety knives we had in retail I don't know how you could cut yourself with unless you have micro fingers. The blade is inside a hard plastic jaw. Worst you can do is poke yourself with the plastic, which hurts but won't injure you.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pacific-Handy-Cutters-Disposable-Splitters/dp/B0195UWEYK/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=Box+Cutters&qid=1706135900&sr=8-5

(I don't imagine the stores buy them at £23 a pop though, we got boxes of them, jesus)

They're honestly really good, you hook them over the thing you want to cut and then just yank it, and the little nub on the back is perfect for tape. Also if you want to get a box off the top shelf you can stick the pointy bit in the side and then drag it off the shelf. Which is probably the most dangerous thing you can do with it :v:

Interesting contrast with THE CLAW we got from claires accessories. Literally looks like a plastic crab claw and was shite because you have to push it through the cardboard from behind, which means the cardboard gashes your hands to bits. Garbage tool, from a garbage company.

We use knives that auto retract when you're not holding the blade out.

Peak Roman army was like 150,000 dudes with swords, plus whatever was going on in the rest of the world.
I think I'd like to get a gladius, swords designed to be balanced so any conscript can pick one up and start swinging with as little training as possible. Plus they're a nice size.

I bought a wizard sword years ago that is a knockoff of Gandalf's sword. Supposedly it can withstand re-enactment use but I've never tried. It's surprisingly heavy and I have roughly zero upper body strength.

I have a newfound respect for that lad Cavill swinging them about in the Witchman on the telly.
