Cows With Guns - The Original Animation

They need drones that shoot fireworks!
I live in a city that has criminalized all fireworks, including pop-its. We're talking arrest and jail time are on the table just for transporting them in your car through city limits (I'm sure this violates the Commerce Clause).
However, drugs are legal. I love their priorities.
Oh, and cutting down or trimming trees on your property is illegal without a permit. My neighbor was hit by a $10,000 fine because the street tree died and they didn't pull a permit for it.
Exactly. Movies, the Internet, traveling.
As a life form, the 4 key aspects of life are:
1). Eat 2). Sleep 3). Defecate 4). Reproduce
Literally everything else you do is irrelevant or secondary to the core mission of life.
Since when does wearing a brown hoodie convey that one is a genius?
I don't think the comic had anything to do with a modern landlord, but rather a noble owning an estate.
It has nothing to do with homeowners. Homeowners actually paid for their land and are probably indebted to a bank in the form of a mortgage.
Nobles who own estates did not do that, they probably have a carve out in the state constitution and obtained their land by inheriting it from their ancestors (and being exempt from an estate tax).
Do you know what a noble or am estate is?
Hint - it has nothing to do with native Americans. Since mobility never existed in the United States, it is pretty clear that the context for this single pane comic is British.
I'm any case, British nobility is still well alive, and wealthy landowners have inherited vast deaths of the country after their ancestors had used force to take the land when it was under feudalism.
Now, if you believe that feudal land distribution is a good foundation for modern economic and land development, that's one thing. It does leave much of the British Isles in their pre-modern state of land usage.
On the other hand, much of the population is forced to live in dinky squalid poorly heated, uninsulated brick and stone housing blocks that would never pass a modern building code. So from that point of view, it seems like failed policy designed to pander to the land rich, cash poor former noble families who really shouldn't have any influence on the modern state as they have literally nothing to offer it.
You need to watch The MythBusters episode of "don't bring a knife to a gunfight."
The results were rather surprising. Also, if you ever take martial arts training, knives are considered incredibly deadly weapons and close quarters.
Weren't Pikes developed only in the high middle ages? The swiss were find of them.
Prior to that you are looking at shorter spears and various other polararms like a billhook. Halberds and Pikes were later developments.
In ancient times, the Greek hoplite was used (similar to a pike), but it was actually made obsolete by the Roman sword, the gladius, and shield wall.
Rabble Rabble intensifies...
Well, he is an actor...
Now you have an engineer do that. Boeing?

It's obviously a primary source, duh.
That being said, a few years ago we did lose a crow and a bluejay from the fireworks. We found them lying dead in the middle of the backyard the next morning.
This year however so far no dead animals.
