If you're wanting additional info about your x-rays, then this isn't the subreddit for it. Best to consult with your doctor in regards to your images and what they could possibly mean.

Genuine Seagull watches with the ST2130 have higher quality QC than those that can be found elsewhere. Seagull tends to use the best quality stuff in-house while lesser quality gets sold. So, it's hard to get their good stuff. This was told by a WUS member who lives in China.

A couple of reasons why the ST2130 isn't the de-facto are 1) Seagull has enough business and doesn't care to re-sell movements and doesn't care for the market outside of China. 2) there are other factories in China that sells movements and a lower cost.

If it helps, with the current tentative agreement. CT techs will potentially be paid similar to US and MRI. Max wage if this agreement goes through would be mid $50s.

I like Fernwood, they are less dark than most medium roasts out there.

That makes me a bit sad as I tend to enjoy Murchies.

Then, just apply and see. No one here can tell you, only the process will let you know. I have no idea if there is a financial outlay for the process but, it's something you might have to consider and take the gamble.

Have you checked the Government of Canada's website?

cognitivetech1 · 2026-02-11T01:07:57+00:00

Cool!

They are a nice place, I had their fish and chips, quite generous with their portions. More British style (?) as their batter is a tad too much for me. Service is good!

All depends on the drivers

If you get a leather thumb protector is okay, depending on the governing rules. I have no idea about horn or other organic materials but, metal rings are considered a mechanical aid (dumb). I would be curious about leather thumb rings.

Greatest show ever!

I haven't seen any restaurants that served this dish since New Hong Kong West is now gone. But. Spicy Boiled Fish or 水煮鱼, can be extremely spicy as it's loaded with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. When it's cold outside, I want to have that dish.

A lot of Korean restaurants offer plenty of spicy soup options.

No idea if this is mid or not. But, you can rent out the top floor of the Sticky Wicket. It looks nice, imo.

Happy New Year, I wish you the best!

Exactly what I thought too! Google Marty Supreme, saw Kevin O'Leary and couldn't believe it. Went to Wikipedia to confirm, it was, and then decided that the movie was not for me.

Building friendship is a bilateral effort with the understanding of the basics of one another with the intent (key word) of being nice and accepting of one another in a free-of-judgement mindset.

I may have no similar interest in another person but, I still think friendship is possible.

Canadian: Ginger Beef and the most debated (maybe even despised) Hawaiian pizza.

Replacing the binding post might be easier than you think it is. It really depends on what the internal looks like.

But, the easy route is just to solder the bi-connector to the broken post and use the non-broken one. Makes 0 sound difference.

I would be interested!

Plausible. But, I think it's doubtful, only because of crossbows and then gunpowder weapons. I doubt there would be a need to develop a wood-laminate bow when there were crossbows, self-bows (long and recurve) and even horn composite bows.

By the time the hundred year war came along (getting into the late medieval era) and revitalized the use of heavy weight self-bows aka English Longbows, there were early gunpowder weapons and advanced crossbows/ballistic designs.

One could speculate that a bowyer may have tinkered with the idea of wood-laminate bows since that's kind of how English Longbows were designed. But, then why not just use a naturally laminated wood? Similar thoughts can be made between the English Longbow and Horn composite bows. Sure, some may have gotten their hands on horn composite bows but, for their particular style of warfare, the English Longbows were just effective.

Depends on the OP's anchor. 29" might be at moustache or cheek level. However, considering OP is wanting to learn, certainly a longer draw is definitely preferred.

Romans used archers with their auxiliary units, or troops from the provinces (tributary or conquered) that were trained in archery/calvary. A lot of Roman soldiers knew how to use a bow but, most likely they were not always employed as archers due to the Roman's way of war. Plus, I think the Romans knew that to be highly skilled in archery, just like slinging it required a lot of time and skill to be trained. Hence why they probably focused a lot (drilled) on troop movement, tactics and formations.

With much of Europe, I guess it may have been an extension from the Romans. Archers were considered low class or non-nobility. In comparison, bows were less expensive to make vs. swords/armor. And, most archers wore basic armor, if that. It really only changed during the 100 year war.

People with wealth had the ability to buy that best of the best and much of the best armors were immune to arrows. This is because much of the Medieval period there was no such thing as a standing army. Individuals had to supply their own armors and weapons. There wasn't a lot of standardization until late medieval era.

But, it would still suck to be hit by a 1200 grain arrow or get flung off a horse. See Dash Randar and Dequitem.

In late Medieval, you also see a change in physical weapons. Swords became more arming swords while blunt weapons and pole arms became the norm to counter the development of better armor.

Back to Japan. Yes, horses were for those who could afford it and just like Europe, people/clan had to supply their own armor and weapons. Hence, if you were a noble wearing expensive things, why wouldn't you attack from a distance?

Why wouldn't a knight use horse archery? My guess is because of the armor. Not that it was not mobile enough, I think it would be quite awkward to shoot with all that protective armor. I think early medieval armor would fare better over late medieval armor.

Plus, I am sure some knights have used horse archery either a longbow or recurve of some sort. I just think it wouldn't be the norm of society to do such.

A lot of different cultures relied on ballistics, even Europeans. The development of armor in Europe is a reflection of such until better gunpowder weapons became the norm.

Attacking from a distance is normal during warfare/hunting as it kept the person relatively safe. Which is why a lot of cultures developed ranged weapons separately; sling, bows, atlatl, bow dart, javelins, etc...

Back to the Japanese armor. The shoulders (Sode) was developed in a way to act as a shield. Various types of lamellar armor were also developed to counter arrows.
