I would trust it that far for flat, square pieces of metal; not for an irregular shape with a rounded tip, mounted to an irregular rounded surface. For this use I'd want a steel ruler at minimum.

Only for a much looser definition of "very" than I seek in regards to the scientists asking the kinds of questions they are.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: guillotines are not the answer. Modern people won't respond to it. Too old school, too boring, you need a spectacle.

On an unrelated note, woodchippers are cheaper than you'd think.

I don't recognize the need to identify the people to blame. There are multiple parties with various degrees of culpability. Yes, the primary blame lies with people who orchestrated the exploitation. But blame also lies with those who fell for such and obvious grift, and those who didn't vote, and those who voted third party out of protest.

Concentrating all blame on one party without nuance is exactly the tribalist nonsense that powers fascism.

Oh mine too, but that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.

Of course the information gathered is faulty, they're measuring 3mm changes with a tape measure

Nope, very prone to vasovagal syncope. I tried once, went black almost immediately and spent an hour in the bus recovering. Luckily my blood type is one of the most common, so no big loss.

Yeah, still you're indirectly telling them that they do in fact look old enough.

Used to do this selling alcohol at the gas station. Most of them love it, every once in a while though one forgot their ID and now you're in a weird spot: deny the sale, or tell them you were just being nice and they're clearly over 40.

Maybe a tumor? Could be covering a removal scar, to commemorate a successful fight.
