[Frumple]

Depends on how huge and what support is available, far as I know. The bigger they are, the more trouble is involved, obviously enough. The less support, the more physics tries to cause problems. Don't recall that things like cooking becomes a substantial issue unless we're talking the stuff that takes medical conditions or surgery to achieve, but there's more troubles than just back pain.

Familiarity and practice does indeed cut down on the practical issues, though, sure.

[Xvareon]

Ok...

Is there a term for something that is expensive but very trashy and garish?

Like... it is showey but shows such an extreme lack of class that you look like a rich idiot?

Yeah. The word you're looking for is "gaudy."

For randomness' sake:  If you want a word to describe something "Common in a boring way, to the point of being predictable; containing nothing new or fresh", try "banal".

[Hanslanda]

Ptw cuz I always have random questions.

[CABL]

Does anybody knows the origin of 1950s Middle Finger Man meme? I really like the picture and recently rediscovered it, but I don't even know who is that person in the picture, let alone how it became a meme.

[Neonivek]

Is there a law against faking someone's death?

I don't mean against their will... but I am thinking back to this fake trial of Romeo and Juliet where the Priest was put to trial

and I am like "Wait... could he be arrested for that whole... drug to fake her death thing?"

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It is almost certain you would commit a whole host of criminal and civil offenses in the "sleep of the dead" kind of death-faking, but the action itself is not illegal. What isn't illegal is vanishing on everyone you know without notice as if you had died.

[Frumple]

Yeah, pretty much. Technical term's pseudocide, apparently. It's not illegal in and of itself in most places, near as a quick check can tell, but just about everything you can do that actually would manage it involves stuff that is, to some extent, as is taking advantage of a number of consequences of it (insurance related, mostly, but there's others).

Could a rugby player beat a samurai in a fight? What if the rugby player got the charge?

[Neonivek]

Could a rugby player beat a samurai in a fight? What if the rugby player got the charge?

I don't see any reason why a Rugby player couldn't beat a samurai in a fight.

Heck Samurai have lost to children.

[Egan_BW]

Samurai is a guy on a horse, in armor, with a polearm. Rugger man is a buff dude with worse armor not made for combat, and no weapons.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Yeah, but would that stop the rugby player? I've yet to meet a properly sane one.

[Egan_BW]

No, the polearm is what stops them. Pole. Arm.

[Arx]

I've met rugby players who broke other peoples' knees like dry firewood. But the heavily built armed and armoured man takes it off the heavily built unarmed and unarmoured man every time.

[Sheb]

To be fair, it was Rugby player vs. Samurai, not Rugby Player vs. Samurai + spear.

[Arx]

In that case, heavily built man with years of combat training takes it off the heavily built man with years of rugby training nearly every time.
