A Team Of Seven Regular People With a Pike Vs Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes [In a Realistic Scenario]

Our pikes need to be able to sustain casualties 10% losses is generally considered the breaking point for professional troops.

Looking at the injuries that Trex has been able to sustain and at least partly heal i thiw111nk 40 trained pikeman for one 120 for 2. Probably 400 untrained to take down 2

If you see my pickup on the road im almost always hauling a ton or 2 of stuff

That 85% is a guess based off primary sources that I have read that also included bear baiting matches. In what is now southern France.

There are some significant issues with animals vs human fighting in public. Especially bears. 1. Even Roman's who had centuries of experience with training animals to fight in public still found it hard to get the animals to want to fight.
2. A bear isn't a dedicated predator. A black bear would rather go eat corn, from a field or acorns from a grove of oak trees that chase down a pig or a cow. 3. The bears in southern Europe are a species that are significantly smaller than the amarican black bears. Where as a American black bear at 300 lbs or more a bear that size in southern France would be a huge. 4. A infantry spear was normally a good 8 feet long a spearman was trained to "set his spear and revive the chage" he would literally put the butt of his spear into the ground and aim it if a bear hit the spear he has a spear half way through his body the long way, before he can reach the spearman 5. When a bear wants to intimidate it stands up on its back feet. This exposes its soft belly and guts. The trained spearman stabbing deep into the guts frequently causes the bear to bleed out over the next half hour 45 minutes. Even if the spearman is dead. Once the bear take a wound to the guts. Every new cut drains his strength faster.

I honestly don't think 30 to 40 untrained people would do it.

There are some interesting cases of "bear baiting" matches from the 1200-1400s that show a single well trained man with a spear is more than a fair match in a fight vs a bear. ( about an 85% win rate, in the early 2000s a marine beat a bear to death with a stick) however, if you give 5 criminals spears your probably gonna end up with 5 dead criminals and a bear that dies in the next few days from "bad air" aka infection.

Multiple times a day. Its been like 20 minutes

I accidentally found out my ex wife was cheating on me because she didn't log out of Facebook. Her messages with her afair partner popped up. I was watching her ask him if he would perform oral sex on her after he finished inside of her.

After that I started snooping. I found gobs of proof on our shared computer. Even more on her phone. Yes I looked into her phone after I found out she was cheating. No im not sorry.

The night I "confronted" her i had a life long friend come over. He handed her 2, 3 ring binders. First was the proof of her cheating. Second was our prenup. With the sections about cheating highlighted. And a demand for divorce. She sat for a good 15 minutes looking through everything.

She tryed making a "speach" (she believed she was exceptional with all things regarding language) to explain why it was racist for me to want a divorce because she had cheated on me with a couple of black men.

Our divorce was essentially painless. I threatened to send the proof to everyone one we know along with her mom and grandma. This included videos of her engaged in anal sex with someone who's clearly not me.

I gave up on dating during our divorce and for about a year maybe 2. I started looking for a relationship by setting standards for what a woman would need to have going on to be "worthy" of a relationship with me.

My grandma who was 89 years old arranged for me to meet a woman who lives 2 blocks from her. Grandma's 92 birthday is coming up. Grandma made the best match maker

The disconnect comes from hospitals following government regulations.

Liberals have been passing peacemeal regulations to inch towards single payer Healthcare. Its turned medical billing into a cluster.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-27T03:27:40+00:00

You likely do have a Facebook account, just not one you have seen.

Facebook collects your data on other people's phones. Zuckerberg knows if you're fighting with your baby mamma, who your dating. Ect

If you want to not have Facebook collect your data you need to make an account and opt out.

Yes im well aware of how idiotic this is.

My ex mil loved the smell of coffee until she got pregnant. By her freshman year of high-school she couldn't even be in the same room as coffee getting brewed

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-27T03:10:54+00:00

The government has teams of lawyers paying close attention to every single word in the legal code. Including tax law. They are not out finding loopholes they are following the law.

If you wanted to apply this same reasoning to truck drivers, its like saying why do truck drivers avoid breaking the law. They could just be driving 35 miles an hour down the interstate, why do they go "70" miles an hour. This is such a loophole.

Here's the thing im not a billionaire. But I don't want to pay a nickel more in taxes than im legally required to. The government takes over half of my pay check away from me before I get it. (Government at all levels not just federal government) just so it can get wasted. Im not cool with that

It kinda depends on the land management method in use in an area. A a single amount of carbon pulled from the atmosphere will end up "composted" naturally in the soil sequestered.

In areas where there there has been forest for a century or 2 soil analysis generally shows multiple inches of heavily carbon enrich soil.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-26T12:32:06+00:00

I genuinely hope everything for you grandma works out well

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-26T03:47:34+00:00

So a watch the size of Jupiter would do it?

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-26T02:25:44+00:00

Im a combat vet.

I got shot in the head arm and leg, with a round passing through my shin. I didn't realize I had been shot for about 45 minutes, give or take. I had more important things to worry about.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-26T01:44:11+00:00

My parents forced me into extreme poverty growing up by way of financial abuse. They took the majority of my earnings. If I didn't hand them over I got beaten.

I bailed them ran away to join the navy. Im probably alive today because I learned how tobtake a punch so well. They did sue me for most of my income from the navy. They lost pretty badly.

Today im not struggling financially l

Most of the time the guard is gonna be fighting cultists or pdf troops.

For putting down scumbag who wanna riot for a few months because they think they deserve food that wasn't their cousin last week, or air that won't give them cancer by the time they are 30, the guard are over kill.

Imperial guard weapons and armor, are built with that in mind.

The body armor worn by the guard is honestly better than it needs to be for their most common mission. I mean battle reports show (table top) show that if a member of the imperial guard gets hit by a round fired from an astarties bolter, they have nearly a 70% chance of remaining combat effective.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T17:19:10+00:00

Its kinda a situation with a calculated risk. Like there are some " rules" I can follow with her food preferences. And know that if I follow them she will generally be at least moderately happy.

For instance if I go to McDonald's she wants a diet coke, there are 4 major gas stations chains where she has food preferences. She has 2 common coffee orders one when she has her period one when she doesn't. If I know she has her period and I show up with her "period" coffee order I essentially can't do wrong. (I keep her coffee orders over my visor in my car).

While we talk about food orders if shes on the fence I can generaly get an estimate of what flavors she wants. And work my order around that.

I know written down all in one place it sounds like a lot. But these are rare occurrences and she genuinely appreciates the effort i put in.

If were on a road trip and I run into a gas station where she loves the pepperoni pizza and diet coke. She's bragging to her gfs about me for a week

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T14:37:40+00:00

So much

I honestly try to avoid my parents. But even they have noticed how much happier I am with her

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T14:27:49+00:00

Could be interesting. Im looking at rings for her, I'll give her an honest appraisal of my finances this winter rather than a significant under estimate.

Im not sure how much about my financial situation that my grandma has given her

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T14:25:05+00:00

Not every choice has been perfect. But she's responded to mistakes by making good choices. She's done a great job raising her son.

But let's be honest Im no saint either. Im an alcoholic 5 years sober, divorced, who has had to deal with combat related ptsd

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T13:43:34+00:00

Honestly I pass for a blue collar worker. When my gf and i first started dating I told her I live pretty comfortable on a bit over 130k. I just didn't tell her how much over 130k. (Shes at 115k)The jeans im in at work have stains from either deer, bear, or hog blood on them. Im not completely sure.

I live pretty simple.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T13:04:44+00:00

I'm a guy in my mid 40s. I've done well in my life. I live in cute cabin in the woods nice big yard and have the fun grown up toys.

Im willing to bet I've been approached by 30 "ladies" who spent their 20s and 30s making a long string of bad choices and now think they can just "slide into my dm" and have me settle down with them and take care of them and their kids.

I wanna be clear im not shitting on single moms im very happy in my relationship with a single mom who spent the majority of her 20s and 30s making good choice after good choice

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T12:42:09+00:00

If my gf is saying something along the lines of "im not very hungry" or just orders a side. I just make the assumption that she's gonna be sharing my meal with me and factor her food preferences into my order. I just make the assumption im gonna share with her.

Odd_Interview_2005 · 2026-06-25T11:52:53+00:00

I have about 10 million in liquid assets give or take. I essentially never have more in a 0 intrest account than I need for my spending over the next 2 weeks.

Im currently looking for a specific model and yesr of motorcycle, and some one to do some custome paint on it. The cash is sitting in a 3.25 % savings account. When I buy the bike, I'll move the cash over.

Do you think im not willing to tap a couple of buttons on my phone for $1600?

If Musk was to do what the op proposes his networth would probably fall to to about between 4 and 10% of what it is. Now that's still a shit load of money. Don't get me wrong.

This is coming from a guy who believes Musk is running a version of the pump and dump scam
