Many sling techniques, such as the “figure 8,” don’t really need a windup. It looks almost the same as throwing a stone by hand, just with many times the range.

They’re not very accurate though. Even with decades of practice, landing a headshot from 100 meters would take a lot of luck. My understanding is that in ancient warfare, slings were used in volleys by hundreds of slingers against crowds of people.

I have gerbils. Some of them love it and some couldn't care less. For one it took over 6 months of watching her sister and just sitting in it to figure out how it works. Once she did, there was no end to it.

Assuming the rest of your diet isn't stuffed with red meat I wouldn't worry too much about eating bacon. Replacing meat with vegan meat-substitutes doesn't automatically make the meal healthier - just free of meat.

Maybe.. I don't really consider myself to be the subject of my attraction though. Plenty of men and women out there I find visually pleasing to look at but I just don't feel the need to involve them in the act itself. It's like asking someone else to scratch an itch for me. Why bother when I can do it myself just as well.

Your premise falsely assumes I'll even let you in when you show up uninvited.

Nicely illustrates the state of the world right now when even Greta can’t pay attention to climate change.

How about nazis and other extremist hate groups, terrorist organizations, organized crime and drug cartels, human traffickers, rapists and serial offenders, cult leaders, corrupt oligarchs or kleptocrats, rogue military juntas and death squads?

I prevent my customers from leaving a bad reviews by trying to do a good job. I'd never sign a form like that, it's a huge red flag and I doubt it's even enforceable.

Not american but can relate. Sex is available - I'm just not interested in it. Never have been. My hands work just fine.

Yeah, pretty straightforward job. As long as things are held together with screws - preferably stainless with a Torx head - they’re easy to both assemble and take apart.

Well yeah, they’re just planks. Mostly I just cut them to length, but for some I traced the more complex silhouette onto the new piece and then cut it out with a combination of circular and reciprocating saw. Pretty straightforward job, to be honest.

They're going for this post-apocalyptic look, says it'll be trendy in the near future.
