Did he upgrade the head and handle? If so, it's still your grandpa's axe. Did you upgrade the axe? It might now be an axe of your own making. If "same" is extended not just to refer to the materials, but refers to fourth-dimensional quantum axe states, the axe stops being your grandpas axe the moment your grandpa isn't chopping with it, but becomes his axe any time he returns to use it.

I've heard of better men than me chowing down on seafood lips from waste consuming bottom feeders...

And let them organize their civilized society enough to the point where they arrange to cook and eat me, explaining to me as I am grilled on the barbie that human rights aren't real because the only species with established civilized rights is theirs? Eat first and ask questions later

The same world that produced the USDA Expenditures on Children by Families Consumer Expenditure Survey results, in which that amount is similar to other numbers. The US government may or may not have artificially inflated these numbers for intrinsic benefits. Depending on how you slice the numbers or what variables in that child's life are at play, a child can easily cost more than $2700 a month, but millions of families also raise multiple children simultaneously on less money than that. In the same world where rent prices on 1-2 bedroom places can start upwards from $1500/month, what values do make sense? The answer to that depends on whether we're talking about Musk or actual people.

Depends on the size of the species. If they are smaller than the average human, most definitely approach them onto a grill and eat them. If they are larger, that approach is still viable, but their size may be difficult if they are similar in scale to mammoths but have opposable thumbs.

Alternatively, it may be insightful to consider the precedents for this. Leprechauns have lived in civilized secrecy for thousands of years, and gnomes have been documented performing organized crime or acts of violence. Regardless of whether humans are related to either, they would be a distinct species from homo sapiens. It may be the case that for any species on Earth that develops civilization, it ensures approach doesn't happen.

Probably not... I've always heard people get 8 hours of sleep when it's dark, but my whole life I've always had broken sleep that doesn't return to sleep after waking back up, and after years of being unable to sleep consistently at some point I changed approach and just sleep whatever time I get tired. It slightly improved my physical and mental health at the time but my overall tiredness never really reduced, I just don't stare at the ceiling waiting for sleep anymore. The times I get the longest sleep tend to be when the sun is up, which is a disaster for being on-call during daylight business hours.

Yeah, falling asleep while working at a desk for long hours straight. Not suddenly, but just overall unable to stay awake for major portions of the usual workday. The full-time position before the one I'm in now, I was at the office and would sometimes fall asleep during processing, or do orders on a sleepwalk autopilot, waking up after a few were submitted. It didn't seem to really affect my accuracy, but it was jarring when I snapped back to. Thanks for the great advice! Probably should lower my morning caffeine, drink more water, and time my breaks instead of take them when I'm already burnt out... 300mg+ of coffee a morning without water might be too much too quickly. Limiting size of lunch isn't an issue for me, I sometimes forget to take lunch entirely.

A few questions to people who have struggled long-term with fatigue, exhaustion, insomnia, etc.: what do you do to keep awake for a full-time workday? Black coffee, supplements, herbs, drugs/prescriptions, other? None, and it required a lifecycle habit change? Have you had success with "desk" jobs sitting all day, or had to choose a field with physical activity to keep from falling asleep on the job? Does it just "get easier" to wake up and stay up after multiple years of full-time? Before starting full-time I had only been able to get part-time gigs before, but it hasn't taken long for me to notice my biological clock isn't set right and every day I'm not sure if I'm "built" for it. Is anyone? Thanks Lemmy!

Driving slow, leaving early and arriving early. I usually drive a bit below the speed limit, and always follow speed limit signs. It keeps people safe, even if their own impatience makes them tailgate eachother 10 cars in a row behind me. Some people like to be in a hurry when they drive and don't know how to relax and drive calmly, I've never been sure why.
