Are you carrying a knife with you now?
I don't personally, but many of my friends do. Knives are incredibly useful in so many ways.

I often have my leatherman with me, but I consider that to be a bit different than a pocket knife that is easy to flip open and use - leatherman comes with more utility, but also more clunkiness. | ||

Still boggles my mind muskets were completely adopted by armies. Pretty sure in most scenario's during the time of single load muskets, longbows were more militarily effective. Yet we saw a complete phase switch to muskets for armies. Just weird imo. | ||

Nah I'm actually in a pretty good mood. Sucks I'm at work for another 5h, but then I get to go home, hang with my guy for a bit and play vidya games. And another day off tomorrow which is also pretty super. | ||

At a time when most or a lot of the fighters (at least archers) are levies you need something they can use really easily. Archery had a long tradition in Britain and I think there were some pro archers there too. Also some other things, like the British cut all the fucking yew down so they didn't have anything to make longbows from anymore LOL. Muskets are just way easier and still pretty effective. They also rek plate armor. | ||

Training archers was both very time consuming (upwards to 7 years training) and expensive. And you had to aim for weak points in armor. Vs just giving a guy a gun and telling him to shoot straight at the enemy. | ||

Seriously though IP Man is my favorite martial arts movie of all time. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to go watch it. | ||

I mean it's one thing to have like peasants and shitters use muskets, but they completely phased out the longbow is what surprises me. Having a regiment of trained archers would still be insanely useful in warfare.

Back in the medieval ages you had to actually pull back your bowstring rather than just press a trigger. I don't understand what china was thinking making such a no-skill, OP weapon. Cnhia pls Seriously though IP Man is my favorite martial arts movie of all time. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to go watch it. Raid, Raid2, John Wicks are my picks for best MA films of all time.

Why med school? Always a dream of yours? Parents still nagging you for not being a doctor? Sounds like you're pretty well established financially, and going to medical school sounds like a fucking huge waste of money for ya. | ||
