The rest of the gear is to reduce injury. You won’t die without it, but you will hurt. Maybe a lot.

With high speeds and asphalt humans easily become meat crayons

The biggest dog I’ve ever met was a great dane that weighed 80kg (~176lbs). I’m short, but his back was on my waist-height, and his head was a lot bigger than mine. He was completely black too, so quite the startling sight running towards you, genuinely looked like some sort of hell hound lmao. He was very friendly though, we met him at a dog park. The owner also told me they had to order custom harnesses for him, since nothing commercially made was big enough

For anyone considering getting one: sadly the bigger the dog is, the shorter the lifespan usually. Irish wolfhounds are already old at around 6 years. Just be prepared

This is why I need internet. Every time a question pops up (like etymology of some word or what is the native range of some bird or other obscure stuff) I can just search for the answer. Sometimes the information doesn’t exist, but even that is an answer, just not the one you wanted. Obviously it can also spiral into finding so much interesting stuff that you forget everything else and do couple hours or pointless research into subject that doesn’t really matter, but that’s not a downside if you look at it from a certain perspective.

What I really don’t understand is how so many people end up wondering about some facts in a conversation, then everyone goes “huh, that’s a good question” and just drop the subject and talk about something else. It usually takes less than a minute to do a quick search and everyone has a phone these days. So… how? How?!

Have you tried sandbox-like games, or just games that basically have no story line? Or is the more “adventuring” type of gameplay the one you enjoy the most? Personally I seem to find most games kinda boring outside puzzlegames and sandbox-things, since the typical stuff always has at least some form of grinding and I don’t really like fighting either.

I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn’t really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for

It’s interesting how different people are. For me if I don’t spend time reading or gaming or browsing stuff in a place, I just won’t go there to sleep either - I ended up sleeping on the sofa for over five years because of it. But I am autistic so that messes with stuff like this
