Just so we're talking about the same kind of slap. If I had to guess, and I can only guess at this point, you're thinking... like... a slap, a swing with an arm. I'm talking more like an open handed punch, complete with…
No sir. Been slapped, been punched, and done both. I'm talking anecdotal evidence, you're talking engineering.
You guys know that the type of fight that goes like "guys get angry, guys punch each other a few times" aren't always the same as "guys get angry, one guy kills the other"? I'm not one for hypothesizing based on hunches…
True. It only takes one person to turn a fist fight into a shoving match. Grab on, and keep moving.
Depends on the goal. You're right about it being less likely to break a bone (on the target) or cause bleeding (again, on the target), but a solid slap will cause similar secondary impacts (brain hitting the skull) I'll…
Depends. Two guys who just want to fight are probably going to have a shoving match which will end when one gets pinned and the other guy gets pulled off. Two groups of guys who have some need to fight over are more…
They're on some painkillers, too, and have short careers.
Can confirm. Getting hit by a 200+ pounder sucks. Getting hit by a 130lber makes you wonder if they're even trying.
and that part about the right way to hit different parts of the body. a slap is almost as hard, and won't hurt the slapper.
I thought the same thing about tech, until a very short while ago. I'll agree that there is a fair bit of hubris in the industry among developers ("shit code" vs "my code"), but beyond that, the arrogance that seems…
