Here's a historical reference for any history buffs out there.

The Persian Empire arguably trumped them all, however, when it created scaphism around 500 B.C.E.

This ancient execution method was also known as “the boats,” as victims were placed in two hollowed-out logs or boats before their suffering even began.

With their heads and limbs sticking out and their bodies trapped inside, the victim was force-fed milk and honey.

Their uncontrollable diarrhea filled the boats as executioners poured honey over the victim’s face — and vermin arrived to not only feast upon the prisoners, but enter their bodies to fatally eat them from the inside out.

I think I saw this happen one time. Watched a guy in sunglasses sit down at the blackjack table play 4 or 5 hands with the largest allowed bet and he won all of them. Then he got up, cashed out, and walked away.

People seem a lot more stressed. This least year people have gotten a lot quicker to road rage.

Since the pandemic I don’t hear any of the hopeful future rhetoric people used to believe blindly (we’ll invent our way out of peak oil don’t worry)

I would say the constant stress that only those making under $30,000 used to feel in 2014 now applies to those making under $60,000

Can I replace only one tire if the other 3 aren't very worn?

If you bought them only six months ago you’d be fine. I replaced a tire after a year of driving the new set and had no issues. If you’re worried you could measure the tread depth of the old ones to confirm they have most of the tread on them.

Might be worth getting a realignment also if you hit a pothole that big. That will make sure you don’t have any uneven wear issues in the future
