  • I knew a guy who emptied a whole drum of .38 special into a hog that was charging him - though he probably missed half of the shots. Where I live, almost every hunter has stories like that. One told me he once shot a three-legged old boar and found a shotgun slug and several bullets in it.

    On the other hand, some people still hunt feral hogs with dogs and spears around here and it’s more likely that a dog gets accidentaly shot than killed by a boar. I heard of a guy who jumped a hog with a knife to save his dog. I’ve only ever heard of one guy who got actually hurt by a pig. They also tend to get used to people easily if they’re not hunted. So the danger is a bit exaggerated.




  • What you gain throug these “5 minutes” is the illusion of control. You repeat a manual task over and over just to tell yourself that this changes something. You don’t have the choice not to pay. You don’t have more control over what you pay.

    I check my account movements every months. It really only takes five minutes. If there was a mistake, I’ll have the bank to check it or call the company myself. You have to do that too, in addition to doing the bills yourself.
