So what is your plan when a bear is stalking you? Better repent to Keku and accept Pepe as your one true savior!

The lawnmower races are in Morton this Friday night. I think the mayhem starts around 6ish and there are usually some entertaining crashes to see.

Doesn't matter what I think, get right with Pepe bruh

Of all of the early wrench sets that came with some sort of device to hold them together, this Bridgeport Tool Company "Hy-Power" set has a rather unique mechanism that holds the set together. The US Patent 1809450 was applied for in 1928 and issued June 9, 1931 to one Arthur I. Platt, the assignee being the Bridgeport Tool Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Another interesting feature is that each wrench is stamped with the SAE size on one side, and the metric size on the other. Those of you who can covert inches to millimeters will note that it would appear they made their best rough guess when stamping the metric sizes on each piece. It is assumed that the tolerances for metric fasteners (which would have been pretty rare in this country during the early 1930s) were not a matter of great concern for the manufacturer.

Well, I was using a shorter period. Today's conditions are more similar to next year's than those from thirty years ago so it's reasonable to not weight data from thirty years ago equal with data from the last ten years. It's just nonsense to argue that humans are more dangerous than grizzlies.

[CarriesNineFires]

Comparing grizzlies to humans is like comparing a blade of grass to a refrigerator magnet.

[Bernardo]

Fair enough. I agree it's pretty pointless.

[CarriesNineFires]

I meant to continue that thought: Grizzlies are relatively dangerous in grizzly country, if you cross paths with them. Humans are dangerous in town, when you meet someone who means harm or you happen into some bad luck with an inattentive driver or some other human-caused folly. The two situations are so different as to be uncomparable.

[CarriesNineFires]

But it's fun to talk about the dangers we face in our world. I've never hiked in grizzly country and when I do I'm going to be on high alert because it's a real thing, and different. As a city dweller I've always got my eyes, ears and mind attuned, at least on the back burner, to the dangers. I definitely think humans are the ones to watch out for in most situations.
