Low draw means low power and penetration. For speed shooting or distracting/stunning a target, that would be helpful, but you're not gonna kill someone unless it's a very lucky shot. There's a reason war bows were such high draw weight, and it wasn't for piercing plate. More power means more energy retained over distance and more energy delivered to the target. If you're needing to speed shoot in close quarters in a self defense scenario, you're probably better off using the bow as a club or stabbing them with an arrow directly. Archers usually carried other weapons for that reason.

I don't understand your comment. Are you saying that the phrase "we the people" is nationalist? If so, I'd disagree. It's the first few words of the preamble to the constitution. It would be strange if the constitution didn't specifically refer to the United States citizens. "We the people" isn't saying "USA first," it's a callback to the ideal that every American citizen should be equal, without kings, as other similar documents defining the government of monarchies would be under some monarch's authority, not "the people." Whether that ideal has been upheld or not is a different conversation entirely, but the phrase itself as a rejection of monarchy and oligarchy is a good message to repeat against Trump and Elon.

If one is to engage in pedantry, it can't hurt to at least be correct. Calling me a "bougouise feminist" was hysterical though.

I think the other comment covered it but I believe this demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes photography such an amazing artform. People study and practice, for a long time, to take photos like this. This isn't a cell phone pointed in the general direction of a subject with conveniently optimal lighting for its tiny lens, though that could produce a good picture, this takes a great deal more experience, preparation, and creativity to frame and capture the subject in a certain way with extraordinary timing to get a dynamic, emotion-filled result.

Weird personal attack there. Care to explain?

Dude, what are you on about. Plenty of vegans I know go vegan because it's better for the environment. That's a big part of why I'm vegetarian. Why make it such an "us and them" dilemma? They're just people, even if you don't ascribe to their choices. It seems like you're more concerned about being right than being correct.

That certainly is an opinion

Do you know for sure they were protesting cars, not emissions, not raising awareness for any other cause? It doesn't matter, I'm just curious.

Your complaints about public transportation make no sense. "Public transportation is bad so don't spend money on it." Obviously, if we spent money on it, it would be a viable alternative. I spent some time in Austria this year, a country with excellent public transportation. I could step onto a bus (there was one at nearly every stop about every 10 minutes), be at my destination with no delay, hop off, all without ever needing to show my ticket or talk to anyone. Cars would have been vastly more inconvenient to get around the cities, finding parking takes time, and you almost never have the right of way over other vehicles/pedestrians (as you shouldn't, you're in the safe metal box and they're vulnerable). With effective public transportation, I was able to get out into the Alps, go hiking, and come back into the city without needing to worry about any of the complexities of a car. I could hop on the tram, grab dinner downtown, and be back, without ever getting stuck in traffic. It was so much easier and more convenient than anything I've ever seen living in the US, and I fully don't understand the argument against it. No one is stopping you from owning a car! I own a car, and I won't stop. There are some things I need one for. This movement is about effective public transportation, and there is no reason to be against it except insecurity, and apparently a fragile ego. What's next, antifascism protestors block your way to work and you start wearing a swastika? Being reactionary accomplishes nothing good for yourself. If you're that easily manipulated, every false flag will work on you with no questions asked.

All the waste a plant ever produces in its lifetime can be contained with ease on site. Waste certainly isn't the main issue, though it's portrayed to be. Cost of deployment and staffing are more prohibitive issues, and both are surmountable. I don't think it's a bandaid for all power issues, but it's a powerful tool that should be used more often, not phased out.

I can do that too. You're misunderstanding the concept. I'm perfectly capable of drawing, eyes closed or not (though it's much harder eyes closed, obviously). I do digital art. I just conceptualize things differently. I don't have a mental image, it's more like a knowledge of what shapes go together to make certain forms. I build things piece by piece from fundamental shapes that I analytically know make certain objects or creatures, but I don't have an image of what it is until I have actually put it down in paper.

I don't know if I worded that in a way that makes sense, as I've always struggled with explaining how I conceptualize to people that have an ability I don't. I know what shapes make up a dog, but I can't see the dog, if that makes any sense.

My mother doesn't have a mom and a step dad. She has a mom and dad. Her step dad is her dad, as far as she is concerned. Bio dad was just a sperm donor. Family is a choice, not blood.

Then hopefully you don't expect women to take birth control or have an IUD.
