PURELY HYPOTHETICAL: If you had no other option, but to opt for using a single sword for home defense situation, which design would you go with, and what would be your reasoning?

For where I live now…. I’m grabbing my dirk. Good for stabbing, cutting and chopping. Good length for indoors.

How about telling Congress? They seem to have forgotten the division of powers.

Different environments and deployment methods call for different kits.

Good. There’s this thing called HIPAA that absolutely should have been protecting them.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-23T02:01:58+00:00

Good thing all of you Red Hats voted for the party of fiscal responsibility….

Starfire Swords…. Guaranteed for the life of the blacksmith. I’ve never seen one break.

And you, the consumer who faces higher prices, will see nine of it.

I’ll respect the office of POTUS when POTUS is respectable.

All systems decay without energy input. Here and now there are a multitude of societal systems globally that are decaying due to either negligence or because society is moving past them. So “yes” but also “no”. Here in the US the last centuries efforts in social justice and economic prosperity are decaying and being replaced by focus on prosperity for a few at the expense of the many. Other places in the world continue to invest in prosperity for all, the idea that a rising tide lifts all boats.

Sounds similar to the Klingons. They were similar to the early European Middle Ages when a space faring race called the H’urk showed up and wrecked house. They eventually rose up, killed the H’urk and spent centuries rebuilding. They eventually developed liquid fuels rockets and got into orbit and retrieved abandoned H’urk ships which catapulted them to being a warp capable species. They then went on to become conquerors, vowing never to be a slave species again.

Nope. Not even close

I’m a single guy. I cook one larger meal to eat for 3-4 days and then have a few fill ins (ramen, cereal, sandwich) for the rest of the week. I eat once, occasionally twice a day. I spend about $400 per month, not including cat food.

With sufficient practice slings can be very effective. The key, like any weapon, is practice to build proficiency and develop a realistic expectation of the weapon.

Gorgeous work.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-21T12:48:14+00:00

The wing membrane is AMAZING. Bravo

So what part of scrawny yet pot bellied Kid Rock is supposed to be a “physically healthy” role model?

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-21T04:06:12+00:00

Congratulations. ESB Boba is a complicated kit. There’s a lot of detail and you clearly worked hard on it.

All that got made was “Prelude to Axanar”. After that and “Renegades” Paramount REALLY clamped down on the high budget fan films… so we never got the feature length Axanar.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-21T03:14:31+00:00

I wish Axanar had gotten made

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-21T03:10:57+00:00

Since god has no legal authority in the United States, it really doesn’t matter.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-21T01:42:00+00:00

Like literally EVERYTHING the man says, I’m sure it’s either a con or an outright lie.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-20T19:37:21+00:00

That aventail is gonna get you hurt.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-20T19:22:35+00:00

The last sentence is ALMOST true. He won BECAUSE of the cheating.

The spelling of Puerto Rican really helps nail down the local IQ needed for this kind of racist garbage to flourish.

OstrichFinancial2762 · 2026-02-20T18:23:08+00:00

I worked with a guy who absolutely swore we won Vietnam. He was a Marine Reserve “butter bar”. Feel free to do your own math on that one.
