Henry Ford’s Water Powered Gristmill: An Unexpected Story

How Every Opening On An iPhone Is Cleaned | Deep Cleaned

rancor says...

For anyone playing along at home, I would use plastic instead of a metal implement. The "toothpick" from your swiss army knife is usually pretty flat and great for loosening/scooping crud from the charging port. The plastic is better to avoid scratching all of that metal, not to mention no risk of short circuiting the charging contacts!?

Yeah, those phones were pretty gross. I'm still rocking an iPhone 8 and I only had to clean out some packed pocket lint once. Of course, I don't wear makeup.

How The Defense Industry Lit A Trillion Dollars On Fire

Obama is wrong about having fewer bayonets... they are just better ones that double as than standard army knife when detached.

But I'm just being a jerk to ruin some of his analogy

How dare you?? Our lord and savior McGyver (peace be upon his swiss-army knife) isn't a monkey, who will put on a show at anyone's request. One must believe he is able to do anything with a pocket knife and a napking.

What knife fights are really like

ChaosEngine says...

"basically, if your attacker has a knife, you're fucked"

In general, I'd agree with this, with two additions:
1: if your attacker has a knife and knows how to use it, it's next to impossible to disarm them.
2: you can't disarm something you can't see. If the attacker really wants to harm you, they won't show the knife until it's in you.


>> ^Kofi:

I agree with this thesis. First lesson I had at Wing Chung and I got the rubber knife through to the instructor many times and I'm no good at fighting. His defences were only viable against big sweeping and leading knife attacks and well, who does that?


It is possible to disarm someone with a knife, it's just bloody difficult. After several years of training, I would still rate my chances of disarming an attacker with a knife at about 50% and that's assuming the attacker is just some punk with a knife. In all honesty, most of the time I wouldn't even try, I'd just hand over my wallet.

Yes, excellent stuff.

Robert T Frederick, the first CO of the Devil's Brigade, is my personal hero. Winston Churchill called him "the greatest fighting general of all time" and said "if we had had a dozen more like him we would have smashed Hitler in 1942". His biography, The Last Fighting General is definitely worth a read.

Also quite coincidentally, I found out New Year's Eve that the father of a family friend was in the Devil's Brigade. He hadn't told anyone until shortly before he died... They truly were amazing men.

Complete coincidence, but I just watched "The Devil's Brigade" 3 nights ago. Really great vintage WWII movie, realistic or not.

If you haven't seen it yet I recommend checking it out at your local Bittorrent multiplex.

Interesting discussion from someone who knows what he's talking about.

I once got to hold one of the V-42 Fighting Knives issued to the 1st Special Service Force. Amazing being able to hold that kind of historical artifact.

Interestingly, some of the soldiers in the 1st SSF ground down the tips so they didn't get stuck in the ribs when they stabbed someone - the needle tip was making it difficult to kill someone and even more difficult to withdraw the knife.

You're calling a Swiss army knife a weapon? More to the point, using a Swiss army knife to eat is threatening how? Zero tolerance is usually a justification to get away from any actual thinking and just throw the book at people, or small children in this case. I think the mom in the AP video summed it up best saying hard and fast rules cause a lot of collateral damage, kids tossed aside needlessly to obey the letter of the law and not its intent.

Joke for a promote (Comedy Talk Post)

Throbbin says...

A biologist travels to the far north to conduct a land-survey of the effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems. He hires a local Inuit guide to take him out onto the tundra, and they set off on a dogteam.

After a few hours, they stop to have some tea and warm up. The biologist walks over to the nearest hilltop to get a better look at the scenery. He is completely lost, and asks the Inuit guide to come up to the hilltop to show him some landmarks. As the guide gets up there, he sees a Polar Bear not 30 feet from them on the other side of the hill. He pulls out a Swiss Army Knife, and tells the biologist to slowly back away towards the dogteam, and not to panic.

They retreat to safety, and travel for another hour before stopping for some tea. The biologist turns to the guide and says "You only had a Swiss Army Knife back there. Could you really kill the Polar Bear with it?"

The Inuit guide laughs and responds "No, I wouldn't have killed it if it attacked. All I'd have to do is stab you in the leg."

Thankfully he just happened to have a spoon with him that day, otherwise this crime might have never been solved.

It would have been funnier though if he accidentally grabbed his Swiss army knife by mistake!
