“Yeah, they don’t let me feed birds at this park anymore”

This is why we should normalize committing societal faux pas and crimes on dates! Sounds like it was an incredibly fun time

Novelty and pomp are the best parts of being human. This is goofy and dumb, but I like the spirit.

It doesn’t cause most of us to fly off the handle*

As the person who has probably posted the second most in this community, I do so while recognizing that a neurodiverse crowd like lemmy needs that slice of ginger

No way, man. Without a return to the norm, this place loses its luster. It’s easy to lose yourself to the weird, if you don’t have the voice of reason. I call on the normal people to stay.

In the last few years, there have been a huge number of “Japanese” knives produced in china with questionable quality, which is why I suggested checking the steel. You’re spot on with everything, just wanted to offer context.

Any story on what caused the chip?

Other than that, just looking up the knife to find out the variety of steel it’s made of. If it’s cheap steel with fancy lettering, this will probably happen again and you should just display it. If it’s not cheap steel, it’s easily worth the cost to fix.

I find it a little funny that you were downvoted for understanding defensive driving. But I can understand why she would be uncomfortable driving any faster. That road looks thin

Interestingly, it’s about adhering to expectations more than anything else. If you have a road that seems to be fine to travel at a certain velocity and the speed limit is significantly lower, people will still speed and therefore create massive velocity differences between themselves and those obeying the law, causing dangerous circumstances.

For example, a highway has a posted speed limit of 25. Some will still attempt to use the road for the purpose that it was paved and posted, so now you have some driving 25 and others at near-highway speed. The difference in velocity is the issue.

The solution? Just paving, signing, painting, etc. correctly. Glad New Zealand found the proper signage

I can’t fathom there being a good look at the end of this. The decapitation strike was stupidly underbaked, the later attacks were poorly orchestrated, the broad lack of planning seemed almost intentional. We spent money to lose money, and kill children.

Honestly, I’m seeing a lot of parallels with the Russia/georgia/ukraine situation with the US/venezuela/iran
