Well the flanged mace is objectively the best one if we’re going to ignore the Lucerne.
How many fucking letters can I use? I’m sick of editing this shit, just fucking accept the bio, damn.

Most Americans could probably use metric easily if they just remember a meter is about 180 5.56 NATO rounds wide. A kilometer is 111,111 9mm rounds.
Easy.
I really feel like freedom units should be hotdogs per second.
It’s cheating to use footlongs, btw.
Unfortunately, I don’t live in the free world, I live in the “freedom” world. I have to convert km/h to as hell and km/s to as fuck.
In freedom units that’s fast as fuck
I don’t know at what point in the mythos it was added, but i recall being told by someone more into the fandom that the sabers could be set to different power levels, so when sparring, rather than kill and cut they would just shock the shit out of you or burn.
It’s one of my favorites, it’s very unique. The main character contracted the illness that killed most people, and although he didn’t die, the fever fried his brain, so he narrates in a weird broken stream of conciousness.
Get handy. Fix things before they go bad, and learn basic construction on the way. Second hand tools are cheap, and there’s a number of good youtubers to help in any situation. After you get your bearings, it turns into a fun way to make the place into what you want it to be. Nothing is terribly difficult, and materials can be had cheap if you’re not in an emergency. Facebook marketplace allowed me to build a house for 70k over two years, and it’s valued at 350k, and not finished yet. The experience gained led me to doing odd side jobs and reselling unused materials to keep paying for new additions. If you can replace your own water heater, you can replace someone elses for half the price of Lowes and still take home 700$ for three hours work. Pick up some resold tile and put in a bathroom wall. You’ll find out what you did wrong in your own bathroom and won’t mess up someone elses for some extra cash in a pinch.
Electrical work is my favorite. Know the code, and how to stay safe, and it’s a lot of fun that the average person is HORRIFIED of. Get a good electricians multitool, a current tester, a drill and some tape, and you can perform miracles.
Most people will never afford a house. You don’t have to fix it, you get to fix it, so take pride and make it somewhere you love to live.
A yacht with a Titan seamoth in either the carribean or Australia to just cruise through some reefs.
Foss everything. I’ve spent years making sure I stay private and never see ads, and never pay for convenience. There is a free version of literally everything that people use, it just takes a little bit of effort.
Fediverse for social media, Foss alternatives for professional use, and I hack every device I own.
A USB cable?
I was a medaled fencer years ago. I’m currently.picking it up again, and there is nothing quite like it. If there’s a local class near you, pick it up. It’s arguably the most fun combat sport there is.
Amother organism or person needs to be predictable to be trusted.someone or something acting in an unpredictable manner means it may suddenly decide you’re a threat. We evolved in a world before science and medicine, where any injury could mean death. Even the most unstoppable animals, bears, elephants, moose, will bluff charge a threat rather than immediately attack, because fighting risks injury, regardless of how unbalanced the fight is. I can’t win a fight against any of those animals, but I can bite it while it’s killing me. A full thickness bite wound is all but guaranteed to cause an infection, which may kill or disable.
Humans are also social creatures, and we run on cultural norms that make it easier to trust that the person next to you in a restaurant won’t suddenly stab you, even though he is holding a knife.
A major cultural difference can make others seem dangerous in a primal way. We know through interaction that other cultures are not more dangerous, but that primal unease of being surrounded by people from a different tribe is still in there somewhere.
In my opinion, this is why racism is so hard to root out. A lot of it is taught by others, but it’s not a negligible amount tied to fear of anything different.
