There's a time and a place for that and this isn't it. I'm sure he could find a subreddit to post that to.

 

If your staranded in the wildernesses and haven't ate for days. You can eat your finger nails to get protein. I learned from watching alone on discovery.

 

You can't say "good eye might" without sounding Australian

 

The average woman spends about 120 hours a year, or five entire days, admiring her reflection in a mirror.

in some time periods and countries it was legal for men to beat their wives, but "the rule of thumb" was never part of any law.

 

As long as she doesn't read this thread, you can keep the lie alive

 

Not lately. I need to let some things slide so I can get the OK to do mods. So lately I've been getting tuned up . . . how'd you think I got the OK for the lift?

 

Whatever happens at your home ain't none of my bees wax. If y'all are happy, that's all that matters, LOL.
And I know you're smart enough to use an open hand

 

Smash, smash, smm-ash!

 

I believe the rule of thumb was a 'rule of thumb' in itself. At the time, a switch used for such punishments was called a 'thumb stick', and later there was legislation outlawing it, so by definition it must have been legal, if not spelled out in the exact verbiage.

On speculation though, you can't do much with something that wide, maybe they should have called it 'rule of wrist'?

 

Imagine you're standing in front of a canvas about to paint a picture of your nice, shiny Tundra. Hold your thumb up at arms length to get an approximation of scale. Now put your thumb on the canvas and sketch according to the scale shown by your thumb. If you don't like the scale, move your canvas to the appropriate distance to achieve the scale you like. You now have an example of Rule of Thumb.

If you hit your wife with something larger, or for that matter smaller, than your thumb, and she strangles you in your sleep, you deserved it.

 

according to the articles that I linked, it was used as satire in illustrations, to rally women during the suffrage movement, and called "feminist fiction"

I found many examples of legalized wife beating, but I couldn't find any laws stating "rule of thumb." maybe it was slang at the time?

 

For the iPhone 7 users, if you drill a 3.5mm hole in the bottom left speaker you can get your wired headphones to work...

 

I do.

 

Don't be political.

 

I figured I had to post this since people actually believed drilling a hole enables hardware that doesn't even exist anymore. I don't have an iPhone at all, but I can find a how to video.

 

And?
