Sure, but the comic is about your “consumer luxury goods”.

Store brand tshirts from places like C&A are often entirely plain, meanwhile expensive brands like Gucci are all about plastering their logo everywhere. I’d be surprised if Gucci shirts actually had lower production costs than C&A shirts.

“easier to use” shouldn’t really matter for Particularly-Good-At-Archery-Man. It’s not like a bow is a particularly slow weapon, either (medieval archers were probably doing about 10 shots per minute), and you don’t really need the additional power of crossbows - medieval war bows were able to kill armored knights, they were pretty much only limited by the archer’s strength. Whether you need high power pretty much depends on the setting - if you’re mostly fighting against human thugs who maybe wear a protective vest you don’t need extremely high draw strength. If the setting is more fantastical, why WOULDN’T “particularly good at archery” include absurdly strong muscles that make the additional power of crossbows unnecessary?

TIL the movies lied to me! I vividly remember John Rambo stealth-killing a camp of enemy fighters with a bow.

The biggest advantage of bows in a gun setting would be stealth, can’t shoot what you don’t know is there. Makes the superhero stuff a bit difficult, though.

I’m fairly certain that most antilope-type animals have quite pronounced sexual dimporphism (e.g. in several species, the females don’t have horns at all). Male giraffes are also quite a bit larger than female giraffes, though that could be explained away by the male being younger.

Its landlord, SRI Nine Market Square, in early 2023 filed a suit against X for more than $3 million in unpaid rent. SRI Nine Market sought to extend Twitter’s line of credit to $10 million as an assurance that future rent would be paid. Other vendors also have sued X for failing to pay its bills. But in January of this year, SRI Nine Market dropped the case, Reuters reported. It’s unclear why.

Sounds like he did follow through.

and even Microsoft

(x) doubt

They had decades to consider Microsoft a liability. Why start doing something about it now?

“ab*sive”, really? The author or editor felt the need to censor “abusive” in a graphic about psychology?

Most weapons can kill in one hit IRL if used right. In D&D, 1d4 is both the damage of a sling shot bullet and the HP of a commoner.

TIL Musk didn’t already publicly declare it. The guy has been acting the part for a long time already.

Who said anything about open flame? I’d assume most of them are going to use electric grills. No oil involved.

But maybe you can link me a picture of the kind of frying device that you have in mind - maybe we just disagree on whether that’s a grill or a fryer.

No frying pans anywhere, either. That would be very impractical in the standard sausage-and-fries shop that sells currywurst.

Where do you live? I’ve never seen a fast food place fry sausages in Germany.

the currywurst — fried veal sausage topped with ketchup and curry powder

Who the hell told this person that Currywurst is made with veal? The standard is pork. And it’s grilled, not fried.

Children don’t know about backpain and IBS.
