Let slip the surly bonds of earth.

Organizing a hunt to get rid of crows that have become an agricultural nuisance reminds me that somewhere on Mangadex I read a manga about a high school girl who works as a game trapper. The manga goes into some technical details about traps and their placement. The last chapter I read she had...

I don't know from guns, but I have never considered what this term referred to. So those tic marks on the crosshairs are 'aiming points'? I had never considered them when seeing them in movies, etc. I appreciate the new information.

Yeah. Almost 3,000 psi? A car tire is about 30-35 psi, and a bicycle tire is a bit more, and they are a chore to pump up (Well, a car tire because of the large volume). I can't imagine trying to charge an air rifle with a hand pump like that.

By the way, what's with the pose made by the gopher construction worker? On the final page you can see him with bowed legs and pointing his finger. I've seen this pose used elsewhere in manga, so it's iconic in some way, but I am clueless on its significance and its name. Does anyone know what...

To a person from a pre-modern agricultural society, bat guano is good for fertilizer. To a person from a modern industrial society, bat guano is a good source of nitrates for explosives.

Yes. I am now waiting for "Come join oneechan in the bath. Don't be so shy, we're both girls, after all!"

I cannot imagine a blacksmith with good hearing. The trade kind of ruins your ears, doesn't it?

It's Dungeon Meshi: School Kid Edition

No. NO N!O! No Dropping the Rabbit!

Yaaayy Kuro! She's kind of like Delta in Eminence of Shadow. Doesn't know the meaning of restraint. Uh, literally.

I'm waiting for him to tell someone to wash their neck before they next meet (make you neck clean so my sword doesn't get dirty when I behead you in a duel).

I really like stories in which the character is inventive in their use of their magic power. This is very nice, and I hope to see more.

Goddam, this sent chills up my spine. I don't know that we had the resources to make that many A-bombs on such short notice, but I never looked into what we had in the pipe by the time Nagasaki was bombed. Once the infrastructure and know-how was in place, it might not have been that difficult...

Thank you for all this information and links! I was mostly guessing as I wrote, but I hope that I was not wrong about military personnel at least being given more detailed historical information. Still, I can see how that might not be the case for rank-and-file, but even the officers? Well, I...

On page 17 of chapter 24 there's a drawing of Helpful Fox Senko-san with her legs in a stepping-stance and a pointing finger. I've seen this pose in other manga, usually in a comical way where a character is proudly showing off something. What is this pose from? Does it have other meaning to...

She wrapped her feet with rope for makeshift shoes. They wear out and fall off as she starts getting tired and goes with the second body enhance.

Yes, this is very good. The reincarnated magical pharmacist story is a bit frustrating because of anachronisms that are not consistent, and this occurs in some other "doctor Isekai" stories. I wonder what people did with ether before it had a medical application. It's explosive and dangerously...

Aah! Walking through the village in kitty form, but with clothes on ! So Cute!

Nice video game. Just like at the arcade (I'm an old guy)
