Dear Urist McWeretapir

I understand that you have broken your fingers, but would you PLEASE move to a hospital room instead of lying there so I can wall you in already, before you cause any more damage?

This is perfect for my new baby powered happiness booster!

All my forts get a floor with one of each kind of workshop, in case of moods and when I want to create something, once that's done, j-m-q all the jobs is not that difficult. just buy and slaughter some fatter animals from the next caravan. 10 units of soap last a long time.

No, it doesnt. Some things like giving birth and making artifacts give 1000 happiness or something along those lines but tragedy "only" reduces it by 50 (in the case a baby).

Correct, on childbirth, the mother gains +1000 and the father +500, on baby death it gets reduced by 50 for both, yielding +950 and +450 net. gain.

My friend commented on this idea with "it's like nuclear power, very efficient, but waste is hard to dispose of"

Another Idea would be, provided gobbos as neighbours, to burrow them outside and wait for the pedophiles to dispose of the waste.

That's a gneiss artifact.

Dear Urist,

Bits of bones and animal bits are clogging the butcher chop. Also, vermin remains litter the food stockpile. Why won't you and your dorfy brethren pick them up? I've got refuse collecting turned on, and dwarves are set to gather refuse. And there are plenty of idlers who could be dealing with this! What is the problem?

Maybe the refuse stockpiles are full?

Does Urist McAxedwarf have misc. object user skill (used for bashing with shields) higher than axeman?  In arena testing I have found that dwarves favor using the weapon with which they are more skilled pretty heavily, so if this is the case you could have him train without a shield until his axeman skill is higher than his misc. object user skill.

I didn't specifically test shields (I found that they will use swords/axes etc instead of crossbows in melee combat if their sword/axe skill is higher than their hammer skill), so it may not be relevant in this case.  He may just be insane a dwarf.

That's interesting, I will look into it, when home

Nah, too lazy to dive into the raws, also it isn't FUN if I do it like that.

Not in raws, it's in d_init, which should be the first thing you open and edit after unpacking DF anyway.
