My kid is 8 and is not left alone outside, namely because we have a couple kinds of venomous snakes and a lot of open ground/woodland for them.

Teaching Knife defense...With an unruly student 16 comments

It was annoying to say the least. I've just now gotten to the point that I can actually talk about it a little without having flashbacks it took me six years to finally seek counseling, and another two to get me emotionally stable about it. I still get nervous around pocket knives though. I tried to 'be a man' about it because it was a domestic dispute and 'men are never the victim of that' plus I had to appear 'well adjusted' in order to get custody of my kid, even with all the evidence and everything else, I had to sell my car and lost my apartment due to medical and legal bills. Ended up moving back home after all that and inherited it when one parent passed away in 2016. So yeah, life has thoroughly worked me over in the last decade and forgot the lube every single time! I would live it all again just to have my kid though, being a father has given me every reason to plow through whatever shit comes my way!

Well considering they had a 70+ pound advantage on me, if they had pinned me down I'd have been screwed or should I say skewered. I managed to get away with several dozen cuts to my left arm/hand and a stab between two ribs. By the time that knife ended up in a nearby pond and they pulled their other knife (like I said intent to kill me) the police arrived and had the attacker at shotgun point while I collapsed from a mix of wounds and an anxiety attack. I still have issues with certain kinds of knives that have the same blade type (its common)

As someone who has survived such an attack, with intent to kill, what I did was use the attackers force against them, once I had their arm pinned under mine I used a pressure point in the wrist to disarm them. Granted yes is was somewhat a desperation move as I'd already been pretty badly wounded but it was effective enough to buy me some time to escape.

The marine exercise is to teach teamwork not strength, if you can't work as a team in the marines you're as good as captured/dead. I'm not discounting Scottish badassery in the least just making a point.

I usually make it a point to be more thorough with checking if people make a fuss about it, or crack that tired old lame as hell 'I just printed that' line, which by all rights permits/ requires me to get as many of their details as possible and notify law enforcement (its technically admitting to counterfeiting money even if it's a joke) and my store policy (from corporate) is all bills above a five are to be at minimum checked with the marker.

(Referring to downvotes) well I can see my joke got taken too literal again, some people need a helium enema so they can lighten the hell up.

That would be the case, unless you're breaking the #1 rule of the internet and assuming genders.

The cat is missing a leg, I had a three legged cat as a kid and her prints looked very similar to this.

Dear people who honk 0.002 seconds after the light turns green 4 comments

I drive through an intersection 10 times a week this intersection has had 45 wrecks in the last two years often after the light switches to standby for the night (between 10pm and 6am) this is where the main road has automatic right-of-way (blinking amber light) and the secondary road has a required stop (blinking red) 90% of the wrecks are people blasting through the red lights and smashing into someone else. I ALWAYS stop and I know I have the amber light because of the statistics of that intersection.

How could that happen? 5 comments

Let's see, they didn't do a wedge cut in the preferred direction of fall, they were cutting down into the tree instead of straight across, that created the pinch point that bent the bar and wrecked a decent chainsaw. They definitely either need training or just let somebody else do it before they take out their own kneecaps!

I survived an indirect strike while holding onto a metal chain, it burnt my hand and foot and left me with random nerve disruptions/dizziness for a few months.

Well seeing that I borrowed cars owned by my parents before I became financially stable after going through a very expensive legal battle, (was 25 or 26 at the time.) its not an issue per say, cars are extremely expensive and difficult to buy without either going into debt or having other help. I agree that his wife needs to back off and be happy he has a vehicle even if he only co-owns it.

The tarantula eats larger insects, the kind of insects that would harm the spiders eggs are likely too small for it to see, but since the frog would have superior vision it can see said insects.
