All mustelids of any size are the most ludicrous loving killers. From Wolverines taking deer to tiny weasels killing hares and rabbits (through pet ferrets biting off appendages) mustelids are vicious killing machines that are built to bite either the front or back of the neck and suffocate/snap the spine of their prey.

Protect an survive was quite explicitly designed to keep the placid British public all calm and happy in the event of a nuclear attack. Not a single scenario commissioned by the army or government (where details are public) had a more than 20% survival rate for the population of the UK, after the missile crisis. Britain is the most target-saturated country in the world when it comes to preemptive or secondary strike nuclear warfare. It was judged too expensive and far too impossible to actually protect the population (except the government reports in the wake of able archer that flat out said: Britain will survive nuclear war if it does not have missiles stationed on it), so the plan was to ensure Britain could survive as an advanced base for the US, and strike in good old British spiteful dirty fighting from beyond the grave to kill as many innocent Russian civilians as possible. Nuclear war is a terrible terrible thing.

It'd be cool if peace wasn't predicated on being able to kill everyone on the planet, even those not involved in the conflict, but that's life apparently. I've always thought it was a bit petulant, like a child throwing a toy out of the pram - "waaaahhhh our territorial integrity is in danger of being violated waaaahhh!!! Let's use these weapons that will irrevocably gently caress up the planet and kill people for whom nuclear warfare isn't even comprehensible!!! Waaaaah!!!"

Combine brutalist architecture with some socialist realist murals on the walls and you have my favourite architectural style, looks like an alternate history world where the USSR won the Cold War. Onwards to Mars comrades!

That sounds like bullshit tbh. I work with stone tools, specifically stone axes and adzes, and I've never heard of a properly documented example of that practice. It's actually a lovely way to do it anyway, why bother when wood is usually readily available? It could well be true, of course, it might just be out of my period. Edit: the sources above are relating to the "ancient art" of doing this. But waiting 6-8 years for a marginally better axe, when you're making them in a matter of hours and keep having to remove them from their handle to sharpen them up? Pointless! It is tough to make stone tools quietly but it's not impossible at all. Soft hammers (antler and wood specifically) make a dull thud with a light ring when the stone flakes off. After a few of those you can pressure flake a good sharp edge, totally silently. I used to knapp flint in the garden when I couldn't sleep, you get good at closing down at least some of the noise. A wrap around the body of the stone will do well. lenoon has a new favorite as of 23:50 on Mar 3, 2015 |
