  • Humans dominate the world because we can focus our attention really well. That's our big power from which all the science and engineering flow.

  • I'd also like to add working together helped us succeed. Some humans would hunt while others tended fires, weaved baskets, prepared food and other tasks. Splitting that labor and skill across the group let the whole group benefit from it.

  • It does depend on the district and general vibe of the school. A big city school may have a different reaction than a rural one. Mine had a mix of city kids and country kids as the school was on the edge of the city. Our school also offered an outdoor education program that included things like fire starting and canoe tripping so students enrolled in that would have a valid excuse to have a knife on them. The student's history of getting into trouble and reaction to getting caught is also a likely factor.

  • We've killed off vast amounts of natural predators. Hunting is regulated and often an important part of population control for the hunted animal. It also isn't just about harvesting the meat, for many it is a deeply rooted cultural tradition.

  • The money being spent on the ban could be used much more effectively to reduce crime by investing it elsewhere such as mental health services. Many local police forces have refused to participate (its optional for them) citing their resources are better spent elsewhere which will push the costs onto the RCMP.

  • The closest i came to getting caught is in biology i etched some notches into a toothpick to work an experiment easier. Another student asked how i altered the toothpick, i offered him my knife and he said something along the lines of "just notch mine and i won't tell anyone what I saw".

  • Yes these days it may have been different. We barely had camera coverage. For one of my birthdays a friend gifted me an 8" hunting knife in the stairwell at school. I thanked him but did ask to maybe at least wait til the end of the day or a weekend next time cause that knife is harder to justify carrying than a folding blade.

  • I carried a pocket knife almost everyday in high school and never once had a problem. If you aren't waving it around, threatening people, or overall being an idiot most people never even notice.

  • It might actually be the oposite. An ancient human trying to dig a hole with their hands got bored or frustrated by the task and started using a stick to make it easier. Whereas something like a dog will keep focused on digging that hole until its exhausted or got what it was after.

  • My 15ish year old pc blue screened of death on me. It had a few new parts over time but the same cpu and gpu so I had little choice but to upgrade. I figured I'd go mid range now and it will keep up with my needs for a few years to come.

  • Carney, Ford discussed idea of an early federal election to secure majority, sources say

    Jump

  • Just seems odd to even mention they discussed it. Its comes off as either ford bragging about a power grab or carney considering an election.

  • We've actually done worse than fuck all because we are making deals with them and selling them armored vehicles.

  • Canada kicked Nazi ass o7

  • The Canadians are who they'd send in when other armies couldn't do it. Blizzard? The Canadians will charge the trenchs through 3 feet of snow and the blizzard would hide their advance. Swampy conditions? Half of Canada is a swamp and the Canadians would charge through the mud effortlessly in comparison. They fought when they wanted, how they wanted, and with no sympathy for the enemy.

  • Didn't carney recently say that an election would not be instigated by the liberals? Some chats with a conservative premier changed his mind, the same premier who's early "emergency" election was not justified and followed suspiciously close to a new, also unjustified, tax payout?

  • On the grounds climate change is a bogus hoax. Green energy is just a money making industry designed to bankrupt our poor helpless oil barons.

  • In my experience men are much more clear when they like someone than women are. Men are less likely to make it a "game". Men are more likely too push it even when rejected I won't deny that, but women have done the same as well.

    My buddy recently got a new gf. He offered to go outside and start her car and clear the snow off of it. She no please don't do that you aren't even dressed yet. So he didn't do it then she came home and expressed she was upset he didn't try harder to do it anyway. They took that as a lesson and he pushes a little more on stuff like that but he also asked her to not say no directly like that and make it easier for him to insist.
