"advancing" is "progression", "a forward motion", it is not a fixed point, nor is it an end point.

I reakon if we was advancing we'd be using contact glue instead of bullets. Non lethal mostly, better spread over the allowable defending yourself range, no need for rapid fire.........Not so Macho tho I guess or somethin like that... Ya off topic I know.

I seem to remember that someone ( can't remember who )did come up with a glue gun that did shoot out a kind of Spiderman glue net, think I might have read it in "bootnotes" over at elreg a few years ago..No idea what came of it though..I think the "gun" was flat sided, somewhat like a taser, but larger, thus, being flat sided, easier to scan and make a holster for..
But as you say "less macho"..
Funny thing is though..the vast majority of women are more interested in the quality of the "natural banging machine in the guys pants" than the substitute for it worn in a holster or tucked into a waistband and talked about by those with "confidence issues in their natural equipment and what they can do with it" ..Some guys are more interested in talking with other guys about their guns and related things, and what other guys think of them..nothing wrong with that..but are they trying to impress the girls, or the guys ?

Personally I've always found that designing and making clothes, bags, swimwear and lingerie impresses the girls far more, and like the ability to them laugh, and appreciate them for the work of art that each one of them is, allows far more of the ladies to open their hearts etc .. :)

Being able to cook and do some other things ( including massage ) doesn't hurt with the ladies either..I recommend reading "Time enough for love" by Robert A. Heinlein ..Especially the parts in between the chapters..Not "off topic" at all ..there is nothing more important than the ladies.. :)

How about just doing the dishes every day? Maybe throw in some shopping? Help make the bed, and keep the house picked up? We guys learn over time that there are many things that will help keep a relationship together. 

Boy, have we gone off topic here...

Now you're talking! The ladies adore the massage. Here's something I knocked up today. Quite pleased with myself actually because it'll take different sized bottles just by tightening the belt. Started out with belt loops hence the holes.  Colouring to follow.

I do all of that too..Hopefully we all do..I just consider that normal, as for my businesses I work from home, my wife works ( takes care of ) with old people with dementia and Alzheimers , people with terminal cancer etc, in their own homes..long days usually 10 to 12 hours per day 15 days "on" two days "off" ..that kind of load and the additional thing of getting attached to so many of them who die in pain and or helpless etc..you take the "load off" as much as possible..She loves the job, but it is draining emotionally and physically..

But I thought it best to keep "the list" of "dos" short*..and we have enough of those "my pikachu can out gun your pikachu", "this movie star would be faster on the draw than this bad guy" type threads..they are futile and unreal..school yard stuff..we are supposed to be adults.

*There is more " things that are good to do" in that Heinlein book, athough , IIRC, a very small mention of guns and other weapons, some recommendations about kilts, nothing about scanners that I recall.."that" was another guy, Cronenberg.

Computer drawing software for making leather patterns, depends on the platform..and the budget ( free , paid, FOSS, other ) ..friend of mine in Pakistan uses a Chinese software , developed for a laser cutter that they make, he works in leather items production , large runs for export to the USA, EU and almost everywhere else, makes for a lot of the major "Brands" worldwide..It ( I can't remember the name, but I have a version somewhere that I don't use ) scans the skins, then calculates where all the pattern pieces should go, with minimum waste, then laser cuts them out..fast , clean, and can work any size skin up to around 3 metres or so by 2 metres or so..He works with lamb, sheep, goat, cow, water buffalo etc..does garments and motorcycle stuff, bags etc..He does cutting work for others too , gloves, footballs etc.The software ( the name of which I hope will come back to me, because a search over 20TB will, especially as I can't remember what it is called* , take a while, not all the drives are in the boxen ) cost around 8K or 9K around 5 years ago ( there was a basic free version , but very "diminished" ) , but even at probably 10K nowadays..that is nothing to the cost of the machines that it was developed to run..Well over the cost of an average house and land in this village.

*Must be those advancing years.. :) or because I didn't think it was important to remember.. except for that on his recommendation I spent a lot of money on software just to be able to send designs to him, that I'd rather draft on paper / carton by hand and then make "muslins", and scan ( photograph given that most of them are too big for my scanners ) the carton "finals" and send the scans via email, and the sewn prototypes ( masters ) by snail mail / courrier..

For RockyAussie.. less than a week ago..there ya go Brian.. :)
Might also work on Roos.

USA police-test-spider-man-device-as-alternative-to-taser
and

spider-man-type-restraint-touted-for-use-by-uk-police

There has to be a market for the holsters for this..if one knows how to scan 3D objects..or not. :)

Also for "impromptu" Shibari and Kinbaku :)

8% of US americans have a licence for concealed weapons that means 92% do not feel the need and happy not to carry, must say something

[Clintock]

@chrisash means there’s some fabricated numbers. And a lot of non licensed carry. Then there’s open carry. No need to have a permit. Several states have open carry. Carrying a license means nothing. How many folks drive without license. Your comment is like saying there’s no drugs out there because it’s against the law. 

Even if your numbers are correct which they aren’t, you failed to mention the amount of folks that want to carry but are still going through training, becoming familiar with their weapon, learning to be proficient with their weapon etc. So the 92 cents bullcrap just became a lot less. 

I find it ironic how MOST people from overseas think they know more about the US than actual US citizens.

Most people probably don't carry, but the real concern is... are those (good guys) carrying guns ready to shoot someone (bad guys) when the time comes? Shooting and/or killing someone is a pretty heavy burden to bear. Certainly a "blink of the eye" moment one won't soon forget, no matter what the circumstances (this is from someone who has had guns drawn on him more than once. Luckily, the "bad guys" chose not to pull the trigger).

Let's get back on topic.  Computer drawing software.
