Polish people use too much woad.

Yeah, all those oligarchs (well… three of them I think) dying in such a short period of time is also a bit suspicious.

I wonder what would happen if they turned out to be one hit wonders?
Killing a young lady spouting daddy's propaganda hardly makes them one-hit wonders ...
That’s literally one hit. What else could they be? :p
Yes, but the wonder becomes "Is that the best you could do?"  :(
Putin is a former intelligence agent, he’s a hard target.

Presumably anyway.

Well, to give you a Republican's viewpoint on the whole Trump Files case, I can't help but think "So What?"

He tried to keep some files, much the same as Hillary Clinton. Granted, Hillary wasn't as bad, since she didn't have any physical files off-site, but this is an expansion of that.
.... remember, I'm one of the more sane Republicans.

This ain't gonna be the thing that sinks Trump. BUT, it could be the thing that leads to an investigation that might turn up something at least some Republicans might not be able to forgive.

I mean… she gave the emails to the people she was supposed to and deleted (well… the company hosting the server did) what she thought were irrelevant, if my 2am off the top of the dome remembering is in point.

As far as I’m aware she didn’t keep any literally super duper secret shit in her office drawers, where anyone who has access to the office could come across them.

That’s just division of labour but for one resource. Division of labour would work with all resources, now and for the future!

Just think of all the extra time we’d be saving getting more stuff for less work!

We could use the excess wood and stone to set up a track and do some chocobo ostrich racing!

We could have guys sitting around a fire saying things like:

Baobabi 1: “I domesticated an ostrich this big.” *holds hands out*

Baobabi 2: “Well, I domesticated an ostrich this big.” *holds hands out wider*

Baobabi 3: “Really? I domesticated an ostrich this big!” *stands up and stretches hands out even wider*

Baobabi 1: “Oh yeah? Your mum’s an ostrich.”

Baobabi 4: “Hold my ostrich milk.” *punches ostrich and gets kicked to death because really why would you do that*

Baobabi Darwin: “It’s good they can’t have children oh I’m halfway to the theory of evolution.”

Think of the possibilities!

yes I know you can’t milk an ostrich

Well in terms of woodcutting you can have people telling trees, people then de-barking and/or de-limbing trees since I think your bows required bark and branches? I’m not entirely sure how we’re moving the trees at that point (I was initially just going to suggest rafts ‘cause of the river but we weren’t exploring trees along it’s route her) but we could have people doing that.

In terms of making bows, you could have one person actually making the bow and another person stringing them, same with fletching arrows, one person doing arrowheads whole another does the shaft and flight (I think that’s what the feathers are called yes?)

Basically the idea is that there are multiple steps to many of the things we’re doing, and allowing the people who are better at the “skill” parts to dedicate more of their time to doing those parts will result in higher quality work, while allowing other people to learn the basics doing less skilled parts, or watching the skilled workers perform once they’ve done the heavy labour.

Edit: in the short- to medium-term it was mostly about better exploiting the things we’re exploiting so far, and essentially as a basis for future exploitation and skilled labour in the longer-term

I was gonna say brah :p

However, efficiency might be a better idea at this point, since we don’t appear to be in mortal peril from lions, and will last us forever :o

Division of labour will allow efficient exploitation of resources while being gathered, and processed back home, and allow the more experienced/skilled members to use more of their time for more challenging tasks, like cutting down trees safely, or gathering stone, or making masterwork bows, while the less experienced/skilled can move the resources as needed, and learn the tasks and skills needed to be good at exploiting I’m the mean time.

Has the added benefit of being useful for everything we do now, and everything we will think to do in the future!

I’ll make a new in post just in case the edit gets missed.

A quick search elicited a change.org petition to bring them back, and searching “peanut butter” or “oatmeal” also found nothing.

Edit: searching the latter on the Little Debbie’s website found nothing, I mean.

Chances are your childhood memories are the best you’ll get.

Can’t beat a Tunnock’s Tea Cake though.

There are few things in life I will spend 15 hours doing, but they’re worth it.

We’ll see how the mid-terms go. If Trump’s Chosen Ones don’t perform well, there’s hope the Republicans finally wean themselves from his teat. Maybe then he creates his own party, and if that happens the extreme end of the GOP splits off so the conservatives are quite so bananas as they are now.

out, ‘cause there’s too much going on and it’s apparently endless, and I get to do it all on incessantly little sleep.

Never mind I’ve just had a shitty week, I’ll be fine.

Anupodes sounds like a crappy Greek.

*cough*

Probably a real asshole.

Probably better than Testicles (Pronounced like Hercules, Test-ti-clease)

He’s a good hang though. Shrivels I’ll a bit in the cold though.
