i hadn’t realized it was supposed to be auxiliary. Interesting.

As it stands, English ends up being one of the most widely used second languages, which is nuts because English is a fuckin’ nightmare to learn.

No, no, this is interesting. Now I’m actually curious. I don’t know enough about how Esperanto works–aside from knowing it’s supposed to be an ideal language–to have any rational idea.

You probably want to use your phone’s front-facing camera to look for other cameras that aren’t obvious.

The good news is that, relatively speaking, a water heater isn’t too expensive, and you can usually do it on your own without too much trouble. Assuming that you’re moderately handy. Roofs are… A different matter. Depending on your roof type, pitch, and geographic location, it can either be fairly easy, or require a high degree of expertise.

Go to an actual archery store to get fitted and try some out; read reviews in Bowhunter magazine. A lot of the differences are pretty marginal for new users. Current bows have a pretty amazing drop-off rate, which makes it very easy to hold at full-draw. But you do need upper body strength the get to the drop-off point.

If you’re talking real, serious, the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it apocalypse, then I’d recommend getting either a fiberglass recurve bow in the 80#+ range and a few spare strings, or a Mossberg Shockwave and a single shell. The fiberglass recurve bow will be difficult to learn to shoot effectively, but it essentially maintenance-free. The Mossberg will prevent you from having to learn to use the bow effectively.
