Building a trebuchet to hurl rocks is stem though

The military will need skills like that once modern civ collapses later this century.

Interesting that "Mother, 33" doesn't have a name

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Have you never read a newspaper before?

As a retired toolmaker, I see your trebuchet and raise you the artillery piece I made for myself - a small Coehorn mortar of about 50mm/2" bore.

I've known 2 toolmakers that have built their own full scale full functional Gatling guns from scratch also.

I know what she should do with that illegal-to-say

I know what it would be illegal for me to say that she should do with that.

If not STEM, then HEAL? (Health, Education And Learning)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

100 hours of aoe2 and we've got a deal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Best I can do is 80 hours of Besiege, take it or leave it

Oh, I got that! Do you think the Brits will accept a foreigner from a place that wasn't one of their colonies?

Being "trebuchet master" without "Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics"... doubt

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sounds like multidisciplinary peak perfocmance to me.

Since they specified female, there is presumably also at least one male trebuchet master as well, meaning that the UK considers trebuchets important enough to have multiple trebuchet Masters.

It’s the cheapest means of getting fresh beef from point A to point B. I am surprised burgericanos haven’t discovered it yet

There’s a restaurant on the outskirts of bangkok that launches a whole rotisserie chicken from a slingshot over the guests tables and impales on a spike on the helmet of a guy on a unicycle next to your table

Now hear me out...Railguns

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They said cheapest, not fastest. Ain't no UK business got railgun delivery money...

OK now we have the stem girls' attention

The new alternative to Trident. It's cheaper to have trebuchets posted around the coastline than nukes scooting around on submarines and offers about the same amount of protection from the country being nuked.

offers about the same amount of protection from the country being nuked.

Sadly true lol
