A "gate-blocking knife-cart," or 塞门刀车, an ancient Chinese siege-defense. Works as one might imagine from both its name and appearance; wheel it into a gate or entryway and slam it into enemies attempting to attack through the breach point. Earliest mention of the knife-cart comes from the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BC) though it was used the most during the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE)

Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Every serious climate scientist agrees that there is no such as thing as too late, just as there is no such thing as too early. We should have done a lot more than we have to fight climate change, and the world will suffer for our inaction, but there is no point of no return. We can always work to reduce the amount of suffering that occurs, and eventually turn things around to the point where our planet is healing once again. Do not believe anyone who says it's "too late".
