War is all about material. I don’t foresee Iran having the raw material economy for an extended war in the same way Russia does in ukraine.

lol that the remarkable diet is just “eat fruit and veg, and try to avoid sugar and other non complex carbs”

Not to say bump caps are bad - I have several which I wear for diy and for work on certain appropriate job sites and the like. Knowing that, I’d wear one to a low risk protest as a “better than literally nothing” option, and I’d recommend others do the same, but you need to know their limitations and when they become no longer adequate protection.

Not really, they’re two competing design criteria. Concealable means small and low profile. But for protection you need it to be strong to distribute the impact across your head and also cushioning to absorb energy of the impact and spread the impact event out over a longer duration (like an airbag). As a result you need a relatively tough material suspended away from the surface of your head e.g. with webbing or foam etc. so good helmets are military ones (obviously) or mountaineering helmets, ski sports, full face mountain biking, construction helmets etc.

Just fyi a bump cap is negligible protection against any type of hard impact like; a falling object, a baton strike, a thrown object of any mass, or any rifle fired projectile like a rubber bullet or beanbag. A bump cap is only for protection against slow speed / low energy bumps on hard/rough/sharp surfaces, e.g. a mechanic working under a car, someone reaching into warehouse racking, a sparky working in a crawl space etc.

Not saying they’re a bad idea, they’re not, they’re very concealable, and can protect from causes of minor injuries that would otherwise have caused cuts and scrapes that could require medical attention, they’re really good at that, but that’s all they’re for. (Also worn inside a suitable hat will help with sunburn which is no bad thing!)

Just be aware anything that would cause a major injury without a bump cap will still cause a major injury with a bump cap.

Do wear a bump cap if you don’t have something better or if concealment is the priority. But don’t put yourself at risk thinking you’re safe because you’re wearing one, because, for anything that would actually cause serious injury you’re not really any better off with a bump cap than without.

Not answering your question, but bag wine is the best drink to smuggle into a music festival. Best volume (to minimise wees and concealability) to alcohol to pleasantness ratio.

Iran has a right to defend itself

If it’s Boeing I ain’t going

The mother character has really stuck with me. By far the best part of the movie.

everything not astroturfed is a psyop designed to create mass shooters and incels.

Which confusingly is also a joint astroturfing effort from Big Therapy and the companies that sell parents backpacks with Kevlar panels for their kids when they send them to American public schools.

This is delightful
