after reading about some feats of strength exhibited by knights, I assume carrying your precious war horse back to safety wasn't completely out of the picture.

hmmm so monkey bars with 40-60lbs load. That's really impressive and something you have to actually train for. I guess they did train that movement specifically (in armor etc.), be…

I don’t have children, but am curious - wouldn’t signing boys up to some kind of martial art solve it? It’s a well structured aggression, good exercise and there would be hardly an…

What was wrong with Karabiner Elements? I am using it and am curious what are the downsides

Can you share what is the right vocabulary for example? I have DDG as main engine for the phone and unless it’s Wikipedia level question, I have to use g!

Use the hierarchical system I. Roman literals for big topics 1. Arabic for lesser subjects A. For extra clarification - for notes You can expand it further, but these are usually e…
