There's also smelting. Japan didn't have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less "normal warfare" scenarios.
Try thinking of a clock. Most screws get tighter when turned clockwise. When time moves forward, your schedule gets tighter. Like the screw.
I'm not sure it'll help, but since it's a rotational reference for a rotational target, maybe it'll help.
Personally I'm constantly drawing circles with my finger like a clock hand and then positioning my hand to face the screw while still drawing circles. It helps a lot.
For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can't connect to the network to get new ones.
I wonder what would happen. Let's say 10,000 people.
Let's say some extremist, highly organized group manages to successfully assassinate the 10,000 richest people in the world, and then disappears without a trace.
I'm guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or...?
They may be worried about people getting offended over screenshots.
It's got RGB. Man, it must do so much FPS (fabric per second).
Russians absolutely have guns. And their laws aren't very strict. And you seriously think the majority of developed countries where gun laws are stricter than the US's are in imminent danger of tyranny?
Sheesh. Tyranny absolutely doesn't care about guns, and even appreciates them in some ways. Because before things are bad enough that government weaponry (which citizens can never hope to match if the government is serious enough) is used to enforce it, militias of extremists will absolutely start the process of turning the country to shit. And will not prevent actual tyrannical behaviour by the government.
Proud Boys standing at polling stations with military weapons to intimidate voters for "safety". Extremist anti-abortion nutheads enforcing their point of view regardless of laws or basic logic. Police murdering citizens for minor offenses or unfounded suspicions, where a gun on the citizen's person couldn't possibly do anything but make the cops more afraid and more violent. (What you gonna do with your guns? Start a frickin' war with the police? You know they'll call for reinforcements and now have a perfectly valid reason to shoot, right?)
Those are all happening in the US. Guns aren't helping with any of this tyrannical behaviour, and while I'm not willing to put my hand over the fire over this take, it would be reasonable to consider whether the popularity of gun laws and lax gun regulation have made things worse.
I wouldn't mind them if they didn't BREAK MY REMOTE'S PLAY BUTTON.
Sounds like a really impressive dad. :)
Aw, that's sad. :(
According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I'm a little confused.
I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it's weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren't too explicit.
