I think the “square handle” refers to the cross-section of the pole rather than the handle at the end.
oooh, that makes sense. the image above seems to be broken now, but wikipedia has a good pic of it. Not entirely convinced – I’ve seen worse designs on real products, but I get what OP’s trying to say.
Agreed about the handle. And nowadays that scooper just looks like a really cheap “flat” variety, though you can get better ones that are “shaped”. It’s hard to tell about the material and attachment from a photo, but it looks usable. Dunno what the state-of-the-art in snow shovels was back then, but I think OP-commenter is reaching. (I like conceptual art as much as anyone else, fwiw…)
The problem is when I’m also blindingly stupid for 30 seconds a day, and can’t tell the difference.
Well you’ve got a lot of great recommendtions in general on this post, but while we’re on the topic of war movies:
Yah, OP seems to like war movies, so I’d add:
Then it goes on to say that AI is just here to help, which I think is supposed to evoke sympathy for something that was unfairly demonized. Something I don’t agree with.
Yeah. I woulda liked it better if the robot in the last panel was standing in the same pose and said: “This interaction is being recorded for training purposes.”
I reckon they could persistence hunt it tho. Or just use a laser pointer.
Well, how much light does it take to kill a vampire? A single photon? And what kind of vampire is it, bc for example Bram Stoker’s Dracula was ok with being outside in daylight.
a classic: “Hallowed Be Thy Name” by Iron Maiden.
I still remember the first time I heard that song.
The human’s the worst of the lot.

Aw yeah, if you already know your rolls and breakfalls, Aikido is a great thing to check out. At lower levels, the “attacks” are basically two-person katas, usually involving escaping from grabs. At upper levels they do have something called randori but even then it’s all very structured. Aikido gets made fun of sometimes for not having a “live” adversary who’s actively trying to beat you. I’ve read there are some dojos that do competitive Aikido, but I think that’s rare.
In the martial arts, Tai Chi is the obvious answer.
Consider Aikido. It’s generally more like choreographed exercises. A lot of dojos are very understanding of physical constraints. Check with your doctor, it might be good way to gently test your limits. Plus, it’s important to know how to fall safely.
This cartoon deserves a Pulitzer.
Evil Genie: “Granted.” It starts to rain. It never stops.
I believe Donald Duck is pretty popular in Southern Europe too, especially Italy. I learned to read Italian from a hoard of old Paperinos / Topolinos a neighbor had.
