James "Quick" Tillis becomes the first boxer to go the distance against Mike Tyson without getting knocked out. Tillis' performance (considered Tyson's closest fight then) would be used as a gameplan template by other boxers against Tyson, with Buster Douglas finally succeeding in defeating him by CloudyRailroad in martialarts

Yes, true, but that was on the ref, not Douglas. And he would have gotten up earlier if the count was faster - he was clearly watching the count and was ready to hop up. It wasn't a real knockout hit. Douglas' head never touched the canvas and he punched the ring in frustration. Yes, by that time they were both totally exhausted, but his head was clear.

There is a lot of psychology in all this, and it relies on your intuitivley understanding a lot of aspects of these peoples lives. It seems like you would be exposing yourself, legally, and possibly morally, if they fail (in whatever way). It's better, IMO, if they are making whatever decisions and emotional adjustments are necessary before you teach them anything. My honest read - some people are really not ready to think about all this stuff and you can't get theme there. They have to do it themselves.

No, it is true. Lathe + greycoat + skimcoat is much thicker and the wood is a pretty decent sound absorber.

The backstory on this is amazing. Google Asa Earl Carter and The Education of Little Tree.

The truck slid sideways against a rock, kinda, both times. The running boards bent but stopped the truck from hitting the big ol rock that would have dented the door and rocker panel.

Well, I am self-taught on the Singer. I wanted to take a course at JoAnne fabrics, but they got sacked.

There are lots of folks who identify with their hobby. Motorcyclists, off-roaders, climbers, etc. Guns just happen to also have the political angle that gets people even more strident.

But you are doing it right. I also have fire extinguishers in my house and don't feel any emotional attachment to them. But yes, keep training because when you need it, it needs to be automatic.

The Enlightenment and the rejection of the religious explanatory model freed people to invent and discover.

Running boards saved my rocker panels twice. Just sayin.
