Call the (US) police.

Can you do the last panel but also including the burnt out husks of the EVs that they got trapped in?

A yard of ale is a large beer glass, based on a glass that is quite long probably less than a metre.

‘Fuck you/off/that’ = don’t do it. ‘Whatever’ = go ahead.

I think this is where the weird German “doch”, that i really can’t get my head around, might be useful.

I do woodworking a bit too, but I normally just do the slanty ruler/tape trick to divide any straight parallel face into n equal lengths. I hate all forms of mental arithmetic; I also avoid measuring as much as possible too. Maybe that’s why everything i make is so shit.

I guess if you’re mass producing things you can’t just manually mark off each and every part though - but even then I’d probably want to work to a template rather than to measure.

I think a mile is specified in terms of ‘chains’ not really feet or yards. Feet and yards are meant for measuring smaller stuff, like the size of a foot, or a courtyard.

The ‘chain’ was a specific surveyors tool for measuring larger land areas. I imagine defined to be a length of physical chain practically manageable by the surveyor - probably pre-dating optical / triangulation methods before lenses got cheap.

I think an acre was then defined as 10 square chains or something.

But go back in time far enough and different jurisdictions have different lengths of standard chain, so different miles and acres derived from it. But it doesn’t really matter because if you were buying land in Scotland, then you’d probably want to use a Scottish surveyor and his big long chain.

The nautical mile is then a whole other kettle of fish.

A yard is about 1.4 litres in my book, or 2.1/2 pints - imperial pints mind, not US ones. I’m not ignoring away that 20% difference; it’s bad enough with all the fucking “pint to brim” glasses these days.

So long as they’re doing the dishes and shitting the the composting toilet; fair enough.

If not though, everyone can always blame their parents and use that as an excuse for never actually evolving into something better.

I hope it is better wherever you live, but I still see a lot of teenagers wanting to drive cars; so fuck those cunts.

Most tea-shits are actually made from cotton or polyester too; it’s a fucking scandal.

Look a unicorn!

I think the british royal navy became one of the more successful pirate gangs if that helps the analysis. They were part state subsidised, but became rapidly self sustaining. If your British made galleon is shit, don’t worry, it only needs to last long enough to steal a French made one!

Just a point of information though I think ‘capitalists’ normally (nominally) support property rights. I think you’re talking libertarian / anarchist who are more literally smash and grab. But it is a blurry line. At the end of the day they’re all just humans. Striving to label them, or their behaviour, and then second guessing the meaning of the labels, or expecting consistency will probably drive you insane.
