Yeah, Doc, I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but it seems like I have an early breakfast or a late dinner...

Olympic pushmowing on uneven terrain with lots of rocks and roots where it's not regular grass but super wet stuff that never dries, viney things that bind up the mower, and weird plants I can't identify (or maybe some kind of lichen sort of thing?). I definitely spend enough time practicing it. Can't wait to shade a lot out with the orchard I'm planting and replace others with better (largely edible) plants and better ground cover.

There's a tourist exemption, but the knives have to be packaged and legally can't be opened.

Arrest and jail each one. Don't make death threats at people.

I moved to Japan where knives are also heavily restricted. If you live in Japan, you need a permit to purchase anything with a fixed blade over 15cm and it must be kept in the home. You can't legally carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than 6cm (I think 8cm if it's a folding but not fixed blade) and even then, if stopped, you need to have a specific reason for carrying it around.

It was really weird to me, as someone who carried a pocket knife basically everywhere. I did learn, though, that "in case I need to open boxes" is a case that has come up like twice in 10 years.

As for guns here, handguns are not allowed at all. There are licenses for airguns (pellet guns), rifles, and shotguns. Separately, there are licenses for trapping and hunting that do grant some permissions outside of what I wrote above (hunting/trapping license but no gun license means you're going to be killing your catch with knife, spear, strangulation, drowning, or electrocution).

No thanks :) I'll pick it back up in fall/winter when the work outside winds down.

My main sim is a normal sim. When I travel, I get an esim for that country. My current provider doesn't so esim or I might consider the opposite

As someone who started in tech support in 2000 and is a software developer now: absolutely not.

3.2 beer which 18-year-olds could legally buy was a thing. Looks like 1984 was when the federal government mostly put an end to it.

I don't understand the downvotes; I'm pointing out that many states legally sold beer to 18-year-olds, many of whom would be high school seniors, during at least the first part of the chart.

I used them for word processing stuff in school and it was fine. I was mostly working on Amiga at home at the time, moreso than DOS/Windows.
