20 minute drive out to the honey farmer, 10 minutes to my asparagus guy, 10 minutes to the butcher for some chicken, hmmm if only there were some sort of larger... super large market so that I don't spend so much of my life driving around...

Interesting. Culturally, France seems like the most child-hostile country in western Europe. I wonder if this is them trying to make children more acceptable in public. Good luck France! You'll have to get over yourself first. Can't take yourself too seriously when children are in the mix.

it also has a log cabin... and Log Cabin is a maple syrup brand... and maple syrup is from maple trees... and maple leaves are on Canadian flags... so... a snowman?

Have you tried it on a hot day? For me it's the contrast that causes the headache.

I thought this was a special power that all middle-aged people got as their sleep quality gets shittier. Like your brain is still idling, tracking stuff, instead of fully resting.

Doctor: I can't treat your fungal infection. BTW, your immune system is under arrest for murder.

I followed the cited source for the wikipedia claim, and it's just a guy writing a paper and saying his opinion. He's not citing anything deeper to cover his claim about an initial volley followed by targetting individual solders. Just because it's in a paper doesn't mean it's right, or even well-researched.

Sure, it FEELS right, and that does have weight with living history and experimental archeology, but I worry that "feeling" is the only thing anyone is actually citing in this whole conversation, including Wikipedia.

Nobody was holding a ~90lb war bow at full draw waiting to hear "Loose". Not possible.

Volley fire wasn't a thing with bows. You ever try holding a 90lb war bow at full draw waiting for someone to yell "Loose"? Never happened.

Unless he's in India or Poland they're not hiring him anyway.
