@NorCalifPatriot @erasmuse @CynicalPublius I have the cane for my bad hip, fine for short walks or long bike rides. Cant walk more than a few blocks without it. I am also just 150 LB so my options are wider. I do suffer from Giant Big Head though. We shop in the same section for hats.

The two parts are separate. I did pop off. I popped it back on. Popped off again, so I used some two-part epoxy and put it in a clamp overnight. Hasn't come off since in several years. The top part is a different material than the rest. If that is a concern they have other designs that aren't two piece. The axe-head walking stick is a little to obvious in my opinion. The model they call African Walking Stick has a similar sized knob making it basically like a mace and I don't believe is two piece. (Never seen it in person)

Is it possible to arrive in Europe as a tourist and acquire something in Europe that can reliably be used for self defense purposes, without getting arrested?

A knifeman stabbed a woman to death in front of terrified bystanders in Barcelona in what authorities believe was a random street killing. A woman has been killed in a shocking knife attack in the streets of Barcelona in full view of horrified bystanders. The stabbing happened at around 11am in Esplugues de Llobregat, just a short distance from the Camp Nou stadium. Witnesses watched as the attacker struck in broad daylight. The victim, described locally as a young woman, suffered multiple stab wounds to the throat, chest and stomach. She died at the scene. A 50-year-old man who tried to intervene was also injured, sustaining wounds to his arm. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Police say they are still working to determine whether the attacker knew the victim. So far, there is no evidence of any relationship between them. Investigators are focusing on the possibility that this was a random attack. The suspect — described as wearing jeans, a hoodie and carrying a large black rucksack was arrested just hours later in the nearby Les Corts area. Images of the alleged attacker holding the weapon have since circulated, adding to the shock surrounding the incident. As the investigation continues, one thing is already clear: A normal morning turned into a scene of terror and a life has been taken in the most brutal way.

@MedicNamedHope You could use it to simulate a boating accident near the Canadian border with that Keltec you dont want anyone knowing you bought.

@MansplainStuff @CynicalPublius I have been using it regularly for at least four years. After I had a couple different wood ones split out. When I started using it I was around 500 lbs (went from active to sedentary after an infection in my leg left me nearly bedridden for 2 years).

@AnotherHomoCon See, that is why I just loan them a small amount of money. The kind of people I want out of my life are cheap to get rid of.

@erasmuse @CynicalPublius This is a really, really hard polypropylene. It is made by Cold Steel Armory who also makes training swords of the same material. They make sword canes, but those are illegal in California and Europe.

@NorCalifPatriot @CynicalPublius I have that one, it gathers dust. Too heavy, it weighs a pound and a half. Get a proper wooden stick. Google "dance of the whisky sticks" for tutorial vids.

You know your knees are all beat up, have you considered a cane? As I have lost weight, my knees have got better, but I still carry my cane with me. It only got comments going through security at the courthouse when I reported for Jury Duty. It is made to look like Blackthorn, but actually artificial. I had a real blackthorn cane split out on me.

@CynicalPublius Of course it is. It is called "a cane". Get a nice solid wooden one. Excellent reason to make Ireland your first stop, even.

Nagging women who hen-peck men about our hobbies are undesirable as wives. On the other hand, women who play video games are extremely desirable because it's a fun way to bond and spend time together. Bonus tip: Gamer husbands are excellent in bed because they are thorough, persistant, study how to get good like they're being graded, they want S-Ranks & Platinum Achievements 😉
Lizzie Marbach@LizzieMarbach

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Shame on me for not knowing that there is a movement called "Modern Stoicism." Apparently there are a bazillion books, websites, articles etc. on the subject. So I did some research. Near as I can tell, Modern Stoicism consists of learning to worry about the things you can control and not worry about the things you cannot control. To me, this is basic common sense and it's unclear to me how an entire industry could spring up around such an easily understandable and fundamental life concept.

@Krissa_Kray_ Chili is poor people food. If it were rich people food, there would be a whole bunch of special utensils involved in the eating.

@_ayandamay Now that I can buy beer at the corner store I can see that the price of a high end soda, or energy drink, is the same price as a can of beer.

The concept of a mocktail being the same price as an alcoholic drink is one of the stupidest things to ever exist...

@RodeoProfessor Rare L take. These groups are legit and growing fast. Very common in Europe too. Expect to see more of them form and gain widespread attention through real life action.

It’s funny because there are stacks of peer reviewed research that says following a natural disaster, the most immediate and effective forms of aid (the sort that makes people whole again) are small, often faith based, often local groups organized by very rudimentary systems (church bulletin boards) helping neighbors vs FEMA who puts a tarp over *one* hole in your roof. But instead of trying to scale up things that work and help Americans (eg fleets of Mennonites descending on your town or Team Rubicon type things) this ancient mummy of a woman wants you to be scared of the 3 guys in some fake and gay white supremacist group that’s probably funded in some way by your tax dollars.

After natural disasters, white nationalists, militias, and conspiracists often arrive, offering help. But they also want to recruit and improve their image. Watch the full 60 Minutes report: cbsnews.com/news/some-whit…

James McAvoy says he was told by an actress that he wasn’t good looking enough to be with her on-screen, and that their relationship wouldn’t feel believable to the audience. “I was told once by an actress that it was an interesting choice, my casting, because nobody would usually believe that I would be with somebody like her. That was a kick in the nuts! I was like, ‘All right, now I’ve got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because you’re so far up yourself.’ It got really interesting, that relationship.” The actor, who is 5’7″, has revealed he’s lost out on many roles because he was too short. "You’re made to feel like you’re not good-looking enough."

@redsnoopy69 "the better part of a decade" Under Liberal Feds, after, what? 15 years of Liberal mismanagement? Doug might be a crack head, but it would take a genius to bench press that weight.

No conservatives haven't governed Canada in over a decade; however, conservatives have been governing Ontario for the better part of decade, Saskatchewan since 2007 and in Alberta 71 out of the last 75 years. Is poverty eliminated in these jurisdictions Jack?
Jack Mcleod@QcMcleod

@redsnoopy69 Conservatives haven't governed in Canada for over a decade. Poverty is the only result of liberalism. Enjoy!

American shows she’s reheating her Little Caesars Pizza in the box, in the over. She’s says you can do this You can’t do this. Not only does she have her over set to 450 degrees, you can’t put cardboard in the over These people vote See the smoke? She says the reheating instructions telling her to do this are on the box, but they aren’t. I’ve verified this - Wrong Temp - Imaginary instructions on box - No knowledge of not putting flammable paper in over These people vote
