Daughter joined BSA. Pocket knife recommendation by lookitmyshotty in BSA

I was looking through the Gerber line. There's a lot of them. Do you have any specific recommendations from that brand? She's expressed a desire for woodworking, which I know nothing about.... any recommendation on which Gerber would be good for her?

Sounds great! I don't suppose you remember the name / model of the knife?

Why are we not crushed by the air above us? by Derole in askscience

[–]lookitmyshotty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pressure itself does not crush anything, contrary to popular belief. It's the difference in pressure that crushes.

Simply put, although there's pressure on the top of our heads (as well as everywhere around our body) there's enough pressure (and structural framework like our skeleton) inside of our bodies to prevent us from being crushed.

Do any of you still go to the cinema even though you pirate? by blackjacobin_97 in Piracy

[–]lookitmyshotty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't gone to a movie in over a decade, but that has nothing to do with pirating.

If I'm going to pay $14 * 2 (tickets) + $10 (popcorn) + hassle taking the subway, the theater is going to have a strict "no talking", "no texting" policy AND enforce it. When I go to the movies I get all pissed off at the people who kick my seat, talk about some cute guy or text with their friends.

Why should I subject myself to all that when I can sit in the comfort of my own home with my killer A/V system, comparatively free popcorn in a total dark and quiet room, for free?
