  • Once a month my dojo does a free women’s self defense class. It’s open to everyone and anyone, even if you don’t have family/friends who go to the dojo.

    They even allow men (though rare) because everyone should have a basic knowledge of self defense but they focus on women since they are less likely to learn it on their own.



  • Funny enough, that’s actually not true. July and August were originally named Quintilis and Sextilis (5th month and 6th month respectively) and were both renamed by the Senate well after Julius and Augustus died to honor them.

    January and February were (re-added) later by Pompilius to sync the Roman calendar with a lunar year (364 days).

    Unless you meant Pompilius, but he added those months for totally legitimate reasons.



  • I was in a meeting today that was supposed to only last 30 minutes, but ended up almost 1.5 hours because the PM spent 45 minutes complaining about a design, before they even read the design, then spent the next 30 minutes after being explained the design walking back their complaints without ever admitting fault or acknowledging they were wrong.

    The worst part? Just an average Friday sync.
