As I keep telling people, they keep saying "DEI" because even most Bible belt folks get uncomfortable when you drop the hard R they really want to say.

If you're giving your printers arms and fingers, that's on you.

Do you keep a gun next to your printer in case it makes a noise you don't recognize?

That's the mark of a true cs student/programmer/software engineer

The hardware guys have it easy.

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with "You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games."

There's plenty in improvised weaponry that can maim or kill you if not done properly,

the only way to find out is from people beforehand passing on knowledge, firsthand experience, or being really good at brainstorming.

You'd probably figure it out before you went to throw, unfortunately if you're rushed (like in active combat areas) you don't always have the luxury of time to figure things out.

Mine can, a little bit.

The trickier question is "can blacksmith forges coopt disaster for massive government overreach and restricting of privacy" but that's way less catchy for the conspiracy theorists.

My forge can melt steel, but I don't like it to. So I don't crank it to full unless I'm using my burners for metal casting.

You want to get steel hot enough to glow, then it's easier to smash into shape with a hammer and anvil. If it melts on you, well the piece is now fucked, especially if you wanted to make something hardenable like a knife.

There's entire sections of metallurgy dedicated to this kind of thing. It's pretty neat.

Throw to the side, sometimes called "sidearm" throw.

A properly prepared in advance molotov isn't going to break or open while you throw, but improvised ones are often unsealed and can spill mid-throw.

If you go up and over your back, like a baseball or snowball throw, you risk burning liquids falling onto your back and head.

By swinging over to the side, left or right depending on which hand you throw with, any risk is sent to the side of you. So be careful your don't burn your buddies legs, too.
