In Honor of the Muses

Ornate Kukri

Dated: 19th century

Place of Origin: Nepal

Overall length: 15.5in (395mm); blade length: 12.5in (315mm)

The knife has flared wooden grips, fitted with nicely chased steel fittings. The blade has a very thick spine, and the tang runs through the grips, very much like an Indian kard dagger.

A very unusual cho notch at the base of the blade, with chiselled decoration running along the spine on both sides of the blade. The cloth pouch was probably used to carry tinder or maybe a prayer book/charm.

Things worth noting in the middle of being happy about the same-sex marriage bill: it contains a clause which allows spouses of trans people to veto their obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate (i.e. legal recognition of gender on birth certificate), even if that spouse is abusive. The only way around this is divorce. So if you want to transition and your spouse doesn’t want you to, they can stop you for as long as it takes for you to divorce them, which can take years.

That’s so gross. Other people should NOT have the right to veto somebody else’s transition. Which marriage bill is this?

I just watched Welcome to Mooseport

and I’m not sure why.

It was better than Hop which is what I changed from so I guess it’s not all bad. It’s a Rom/Com that was a little light on the comedy and a little too obvious about the romance for my taste. It’s just kind of mediocre so that kind of defines most of that genre I think. But seriously why did I watch that movie I don’t actually like Ray Romano and Gene Hackman has better movies on his resume. On the other hand I do like what it says about politics, the animals are cute and if you like Ray Romano I’m sure you’ll like it better than I did. So I suppose there are worse ways to spend an hour and fifty minuets.

“

“On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” a Microsoft representative told Wired.

The company added that, once discs are installed on the hard drive, games can be played without a disc being in the tray.

The Wired article then elaborates: “What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.”

It added: “Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.”

News: Microsoft confirms ‘pre-owned fee’ for Xbox One - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

Say goodbye to game rentals and loaning a game to a friend, on the XBox One. If someone wants to borrow your game, they have to pay money.

Literally all Sony has to do at this point is not implement this and they’ll trounce MS. All of my customers have been ready to jump ship from XBox over this.

Why aren’t more people freaking out about the new Venezuelan labor law?

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

John and Phil have some sort of magic they aren’t telling me about.

There have been two major thunderclaps today and both of them happened when one of my brothers was leaving the house.

2nd most profane and 3rd most courteous.

In Maryland, we will ask you to please fuck off, and thank you when you do.

Wisconsin is the least courteous.

Well. I’m sure am proud of my state.

According to this, Mass is least likely to swear but is not courteous. Sooo… we don’t fight with our words but we are passively aggressive to each other?

I call fucking bullshit on this thing.

Fuck shit badger

See, Texas is pretty nice.

Yo clearly whoever did this study has never had to drive or serve coffee in Miami. Florida should be the bottom of the courteous list just for Miami.

Or lived anywhere near South Florida at all but maybe the combined forces of North Florida and the I4 corridor are countering that somehow. I’m not really sure how… Also The three other states I’ve lived in, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mass are all apparently not courteous (Hey look i’ve lived in #s 1 and 2 on the least courteous list) and they are all less rude than Florida just throwing that out there. Partially because in the South “Thank You” can be an insult it’ not courteous AT ALL! Tone was not considered in this apparently.
