My thoughts on equality
In my opinion equality is better than 17th century chivalry. The problem with equality though is that some people feel that they are more equal than others. This is, as far as I have observed, usually a female trait (unless you count the statistical outliers like the few ultra-rich and heads of states and the like) in that they demand equality in all things that benefit them yet refuse to fight for/accept equality in things that don't benefit them or is to their disadvantage. As I see it it is the old problem of living standards i.e. if you are used to having a high standard of living then lowering it is not a viable option. Giving way for a male can be seen as a lowering of their living standards in this instance.

How to deal with it
I have found that using their slogans against them and not helping them works quite well as they can't argue with you when you use their own arguments against them. Example: A female wants to reach the top shelves but can't because she is female and short. She sees a tall male and she looks at him with doe-eyes and asks with a lilt in her voice if he could help poor little her. Simply reply with a No and "Girl power!" or some other feminist slogan (In Sweden there was a slogan that went "Kvinnor kan!" which roughly means "Females can!" with [do anything males can] implied which I usually use). Some females realise the astounding irony of fighting gender inequalities and then relying on them for help but some of them get really pissed, in my opinion, because they can't get a male to do their bidding and are not used to being told 'No' by males. But hey if you want equality then you have got it. I would not help a random short male so I wont help a random female either. It is better for all to learn to improvise and solve their own tiny problems, how to get the crisps/chips from the top shelf, than to rely on the kindness/weakness of others.

In conclusion: you - right & they - wrong. Equality > Chivalry & Strength > Weakness

P.S. Wow this is a wall of text... congrats on getting through it :-D

Hank Jr Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound

NordlichReiter says...

The key of E it is a two step waltz, but in most cases timing is not followed exactly, because of the fills. Acoustic solo is excellent place for expression and improv. But with a group it is a bit difficult unless the band knows how you improvise and can play along.

I'm pretty sure this is in 4/4 timing. It's tempo is pretty normal maybe Andante.
The chord progression is, E, A, E on the first bar, and then E, B7 on the next bar.
Like so:
E                          A
                         
                         
   E
I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
E                         
;                         
;               B7
But sometimes lord, she just ain't always around

The Ingenuity of the Inuit - Making a Knife from Shit

Throbbin says...

It's true, we rock.

Kayaks (Qajaqs FYI) made of nothing but animal parts. Whale-bone tent frames. Harpoons with toggled spear-heads (still unmatched by any other civilization in the world). Buoys made from inflated seal-skins. Kamiks - the lightweight, durable, waterproof footwear which we still use today (much more comfortable than boots). Pots and pans at local hockey games. The igloo.

Currently I have my PC serving triple-purpose as a home computer, an improvised oven, and a sock-dryer (using the fan on the CPU).

Dag - did you get to go hunting while you were up there?

CineMassacre: The Top 10 Worst Movie Clichés

budzos says...

I could really live without the "we cast a famous comedian in our movie and we're going have him improvise for half his screen time" cliche. Everyone's not Bill Murray, and hell Bill Murray was really only funny improvising in Caddyshack and Ghostbusters.

Young Woman's Field Strip Demonstration-AK-47

radx says...

>> ^Napalm:
Question for people with more assault rifle experience.
Is it normal to require tools to field strip a rifle? Would improvised tools work (rocks)?


No tools are needed to strip an AK47.

At 0:27-0:31, she uses a screwdriver to pull back on the gas cylinder release. It's a small lever that's a bitch to move on poorly maintained weapons, but becomes easy to use with age or proper maintenance. Same for the handgrip release she manhandles 0:37-0:42.

It's just those two levers that she couldn't pull without a tool.
