How are swords "expensive to produce" and "required much material"? They are basically glorified metal bars, that were sharpened.
And armor not advanced? You know what can stop a metal sword? A sheet of metal (formed into any kind of armor or a shield)
They were not used before because it took some while to get the iron / steel process right (and bronze swords dont really work, bronze is too malleable, you can stab with it - like with a spear - but not slash with it, or it bends)
They were not used afterwards because swords against armor are next to useless, and are just suicide against shot&pike.

Oh minorities don't actually need to be there to be a good target for hate...
In my country for example, the villages which have next to no immigrants vote most anti-immigrant, while the cities with immigrants actually see that they are not what the right paints them to be..

I'd just cut off the plug and put on a new one; Plugs are super cheap, the job cannot kill you (you're working on a system without electricity), and it will be more comfortable later on, to just plug the thing in like any other device, without having to tape /untape it every time...

In my experience, either the anchors are fit for the job and the wall, then 1/8 doesn't really matter (especially like in your case, when it's not somewhere by itself, but in a line), or they are completely useless, but then even the 8 wouldn't do it.
The cleanest procedure would be to take the shelf down again, take our the spinning screw, take out (drill out) the anchor, still a new, slightly bigger, hole, or in New, sorry bigger anchor, put in slightly bigger screw.
I seldom bother with cleanest procedure xD

Reply to How do I fix an unpluged wall plug-in? by Icephoenixs
as others posted, the gap is no problem, usually;
But if you want to fix it, its actually pretty simple;
Remember though, this is still electricity, and can kill you instantly.
The general procedure of fixing would be:
- Turn off electricity in this room. Check (using a device which certainly works) it is off. Make sure no one can turn the electricity on again.
- Unscrew the screw in the center piece, take off the center piece (and the outer frame)
- There are probably little claw-like things that connect the plastic-/metal-device with the wall. Loosen them, place device farther inside the hole (care to not displace the cables too much), tighten them against the wall again
- put on the frame and the center piece, screw in the screw
- turn on electricity, check if everything still works
If youre experienced, this whole process might be done in, i dont know, 2 minutes?
Unexperienced, half an hour is okay too ^^
Just dont kill yourself ;)

I've yet to meet the person who is overweight from eating too much rice (high quality or low), fruit or vegetables... (Unless counting fried onion rings or potato chips, but there, no quality survives anyway)

Having different crops, with work-intensive seasons spread out, helps;
Alternatively, have an army or students which can be ordered to gather/plant the stuff, as the Soviet Union had it, for example xD
