Aren't those things why the Second Amendment exists?

Saw a cicada killer for the first time today. Biggest fucking wasp I've ever seen. Didn't mind me being there in the slightest, just wrestled with this fat bastard of a cicada and hauled it off after a little while. After doing some research, apparently these huge motherfuckers are non aggressive to humans and don't even mind being handled gently. Scared the shit out of me though.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Alice3173;52514747]Personally I would've killed it. But then I've always had atrocious luck with wasps to begin with. Assholes commonly sting me totally unprovoked. I'm usually not even aware they're around before they do.[/QUOTE]
I was once stung on the tongue by a wasp while riding a hilariously suspect minibike as a kid. Due to the speed the little jerk dug a trench into my tongue with it's stinger which fell off and stayed in there after I spit out the probably horrified wasp.
I couldn't speak for like 3 or 4 hours due to the swelling. I totally understand your wasp curse, I have it too.

I had never thought to look it up, but always wanted to know the true scale of that room.
They do a lot of tv show magic to make that set feel like what memories of spaces feel like. It's kinda weird to see the couch as just a tiny couch in the middle of the room ya know

Wasps are seriously assholes. My favorite personal incident was when I was living in Idaho back in 2009. There was this trail nearby where I was living that I'd go hiking down a couple times a week. Well apparently at some point some asshole wasps decided to setup a nest right near the trail head. I went to walk down it one day only for 5-6 wasps to come out of nowhere and start stinging the shit out of me. One of the little assholes even manages to somehow get down my shirt and bit the crap out of me on top of stinging me a bunch. Usually they'd just get me when I was in the kitchen making something to eat though.
I thought wasps bite, not sting? Or is that hornets
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;52525275]I thought wasps bite, not sting? Or is that hornets[/QUOTE]
I don't know about hornets but wasps both sting and bite. They differ from bees though in that their stinger doesn't get torn out when they sting something.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;52525275]I thought wasps bite, not sting? Or is that hornets[/QUOTE]
I think you're thinking of horseflies. Wasps and hornets both sting.
Sting: bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, scorpions, jellyfish
Bite: horseflies, ants, spiders, snakes
Verb unclear: platypodes
The Norwegian red wood ant bites then excrete a stinging liquid. It's known as the pissant because everyone thinks it actually urinates in the wound

An excerpt from Jakob Sutor von Baden's 16th century fencing manual.

[quote=]Should you see that someone with a flail comes to you at night, and wants to swing at you, as is the case from time to time at the universities, when one is coming from the table and is attacked by the watchman, someone having previously often done something to the watchman—then the newcomer must pay for what another has wrought; whip, then, your cloak over your left arm, and walk under his flail with full force, so that he who so swings, overswings inwards. If, however, you are a strong one, then tear his flail out of his hand, for the protection of your body and life.[/quote]
So from this we can conclude that university students being randomly attacked by disgruntled watchmen was a regular enough occurrence that it was worth writing down how to deal with it.

[QUOTE]Supporters of Kenyan presidential candidate Raila Odinga wave as he departs in a helicopter after addressing a rally held by his coalition party, The National Super Alliance (NASA), in Kisumu on August 3, 2017. Raila Odinga, Kenya's veteran opposition leader and one-time prime minister, is taking his fourth run at the presidency in an election next week. The 72-year-old has been a mainstay of Kenyan politics since the 1980s but has never achieved his presidential ambition, his career emulating that of his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who led the opposition for three decades but never the country. #

Sign language families
Is it bad to use sign languages?
edit- Should be more specific, is "sign languages" verbally correct? I know it's kind of random but just seeing "Sign language families" instantly made me wonder.
Also are they actually called "families" or do they have different names and considered each its own separate language? Like did they branch from a single sign language or did multiple governments decide on which would be the prime language in their country and they just taught that one in schools? Would have to guess there used to be many varieties just makes me wonder how they all became so unified on those and when it started to converge like that.
I'm no expert on sign languages but I'm pretty sure "family" here has the same meaning as with spoken languages, that is a group of languages that have a common ancestor (e.g. Indo-European languages).
