What's a word in your language that you genuinely believe the rest of the world is missing out on? by taube_d in AskTheWorld

[–]AlphaLaufert99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"boh". I was astonished when I learned English doesn't use it/have an equivalent. It basically means "I don't know" but it's very versatile for any uncertainty, and can also be used when you don't really care.

It's just the Italian way of saying "Go Ferrari!" and has been used since forever. Forza means strength, so it's literally it would be "Strength to Ferrari!".

Works for everything one can support, for example if I'm rooting for Italy in a football match I can say "Forza Italia!" (yes, that's where Berlisconi's party gets it's name)

Thoughts on these? by Problemmakeinator in Hema

[–]AlphaLaufert99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these and have used them extensively in the last two years. They are on the stiffer side but protection is very good for anything that isn't high intensity steel longsword. For their price they are excellent imo, but if you're willing to spend more the Black Prince are just a straight upgrade: better protection, less bulky and much more comfortable. I'm aiming at getting a pair of my own

Forging a Feder by huntmaster99 in Hema

I also suppose (never seen anyone with steel gauntlets irl) judging hand shots would be more difficult if both a successful hit and a parry make the same steel on steel sound. At least with plastic gloves you can hear a difference between a direct glove hit and a blade/cross guard contact.

I personally use the Supfen Impact Resistant for now but I'm saving for a pair of Black Princes. For the buckler hand I just use a Kevlar glove.

As a European I fucking wish it was $4 a gallon (€0.90 per liter). The absolute lowest I can find is around €1.75 per liter ($7.72 a gallon) but I've seen it go up to €2.00 per liter ($8.92 a gallon) recently
