SARGE

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.

I've got matches, about 40 lighters, 3 propane torches, and two burners used in a blacksmith forge that can make quite impressive flames reaching 2,000 degrees.

And I also know how to make and (properly) throw molotovs, so that's always fun to show off at parties.

"the best city builder of 2024"

I mean, I like what they have so far but uh..... It's a pretty low bar, it'll be hard to trip over...

Fun for what they have, but after maybe 10 hours you've played every aspect of the game. Each new game feels exactly like the game you just left. There isn't much "design tweaking" you can do, and there isn't much you can unlock that changes any gameplay.

Still, I have it with game pass and I keep it just in case something updates. It is fun to play. And you can disable the weird competitive features. This is a city builder, not call of duty. I don't care to play against an opponent.

Yeah, my dogs will be gone by then so I would absolutely set up a tent close enough to catch it. I'd even bring a baseball glove for shits and giggles.

Project Sundial can still make a comeback.

Her logic IS undeniable.

"It's for harvesting wheat. Uh.... Aggressively..."

I've started directly questioning the intelligence of people who can't understand how ocean and air currents work to stabilize polar vortices and disruption of those currents causes disruption of super cold air.

And I have started getting a bit condescending while saying this as if any third grader should understand it so a fully grown adult not understanding it clearly shows some sort of mental deficiency that didn't get caught earlier in life.

It probably means I'm a bad person but I feel a little satisfaction at their increased anger over just refuting with facts. Because you're explaining in what sounds like it should be simple ways why they are dumb and the usually slightly narcissistic minds I deal with like this simply cannot handle that.

My mother in law's rebuttal, after a few days and in text form, was "I DO KNOW all about the science I just don't believe it's happening"

And at that point, she has admitted she no longer believes reality.

You can say "I don't believe it's raining" all you want, but that water hitting your face won't be any less wet.

His entire style was just to cover up the fact that he couldn't draw cats... Amazing and 100% completely not made up fact.

NTA hit the sister delete the kids and wedding up

Spot on, my wife likes listening to those stories read by that annoying Ai voice.

I'm sure plenty of nazis were afraid of losing their jobs. In the end, they "just followed orders".
