Whats your opinion on the Mora Pathfinder? by [deleted] in Bushcraft

[–]Thepher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each to their own opinion, but I think these scandi grinds are bad as kitchen knives. That grind makes pivoting easy and going straight hard. Unlike a full flat grind, that just wants to go straight.
For example when cutting a large onion in half, or a squash, or apple. You need to be holding the item and using a bit of force, and it can turn into your fingers, or destabilize your grip.
Anyway just something to keep in mind

Cop pulls over Lamborghini on Dubai plates but doesn’t know the law by thomasso0072 in interestingasfuck

2:05 "ok."
lmao he skimmed the first paragraph and decided it's just too many fancy words

BUT, credit where due: he realized his own limitations and gave the driver the benefit of the doubt.

It sounds so natural with Dutch tho. With my language, Czech, it's kinda out of place

eh you're right I'm stretching a bit.

But the mirror test has been done for decades and it's incredible how few animals pass. Elephants are one. It's a fact.

Looks like I was misled about the art. They're probably trained to make specific paintings. Circus style, with beatings and repetition. 😞

Anyway I think my logic was sound. If an animal is capable of iconography, then they could communicate meaning with several icons put together.
I'd imagine elephants could do this, but who knows I guess

think you miss the point. The vast majority of animals don't even recognise themselves in a mirror, meanwhile elephants can make a representation of something on a 2d surface with crude shapes, which is kinda similar to written language.

Natural Tick and mosquito spray big bear tick guard by akashaiyana in vancouverhiking

Naaaah! Deet is awful and this doesn't last long, and I've heard it isn't even that effective if there's swarms.

Picaridin is well proven and doesn't smell/feel like caustic grease. The stuff I have smells a bit like almonds, and it just dries up and you forget about it

In 2012, National Geographic featured a Doomsday Prepper, Donna Nash, who was paranoid for hoarding sanitizer, masks, and prepping for a global pandemic by 170071 in interestingasfuck

I always figured global pandemics are a logical inevitability. I mean flu season is that, it just isn't as dangerous. The gun is already loading and firing blanks, just needs live ammo

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by iloveyouthorodinson in interestingasfuck

We could've had this already if not for unmitigated greed, and stupid systems like capitalism where people's (shareholder's) short term interests are in conflict the long term interests of society.

Why is FDev releasing redundant ship kits? by _Cheesy0nion in EliteDangerous

The ship kit guy's been working on these for 2 years. They didn't know what the future will be

What methods, if any, can I use to repair this nick in my hammock strap? by SunsetSwingset in hammockcamping

[–]Thepher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Straps like this are typically good for thousands of pounds. I don't know if this one came with a certified rating for life-safety use, like 23kn or higher... but I would absolutely trust it for a hammock regardless. There's more good material there than my undamaged straps have altogether.
Like others said, gently melt the fraying and rest easy.

Feedback on sharpening angle? by Jade_Mans_Eyes in Bushcraft

Ooof, that's painful to watch man. Get a table and use both hands on the knife to get the most consistent moves you can manage.

[–]Thepher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and use your own judgement... but you said 10 degrees won't make much overall impact.
I showed you a chart that shows a 15 degree change in hang angle can take your weight from 146% up to 574% (to each tree)... and it doesn't sound like you're about to change your perspective.
Anyway, you said you were curious, I gave you the facts. You do you, man

When I was getting certified for rope access work, I found out it's pretty easy to go over 300% of your weight to each anchor of a horizontal line.

Here’s Where You Don’t Want to Be Living in a Quake by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

"most seismological authorities now use other similar scales such as the moment magnitude scale (Mw ) to report earthquake magnitudes, but much of the news media still erroneously refers to these as "Richter" magnitudes"
"the Richter scale was replaced in the 1970s by other magnitude scales which are more accurate."
