You can't fell a tree with a Mortising Axe either, but that doesn't mean it's not an axe.
What are the chances of pulling four-of-a-kind from a deck of cards in five tries?
It depends on what you mean by "five tries".
Do I shuffle and pull four cards, check to see if they are all the same number, and if not, repeat up to 4 more times? Or, do you mean "what are the chances that you have four-of-a-kind when dealt 5 cards?"
That would be a perfect first response, BTW. Many good interview questions are intentionally vague, precisely to see if the candidate will recognize the ambiguity and ask appropriate questions to clarify it, because that's a critically important skill/habit for the real world.
(I am a Google interviewer.)
It's an axe.
As are splitting mauls.
FYI: There are may types of Axe.
Felling, Splitting, Adze, hatchet. Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, and so on.
' good enough' is the mantra of the unimaginative and quitters.
"They never leave the city (except to be sent to slaughter.) "
not always true.
"Their stalls are appalling."
That's a blatant lie.
" Often, they don't 'like' pulling, "
You have never worked around horse, have you?
"which is an appalling stable in this case."
again,l that's a blatant lie.
hmm, someone with the name VeganCyclist whose opinion is devoid of facts. I'm shocked.
I can not imagine dealing with what a carriage driver does and not caring for horses. It would be a stupid, tiring, frustrating, and poor job to take.
They would be better off driving a cab.
What if those dog breeders had to take their dogs out into the public most days where the where scrutinized?
Plus, an abused horse make a poor animal to pull a carriage.
" especially the external dangers they face from cars or becoming panicked in the city."
How many of these trained horses panic? How many hit by automobiles?
FYI: 4 in 30 years.
"we now live in a world where the car kills more children than anything else, "
that ios a good thing. I feel you should know that's mostly due to people not using seat belts and car seats. Also, there has been a 40% reduction of deaths from auto accidents for children. Oddly enough, poisoning and suffocation are skyrocketing.
Morbid fascination:

You go to some fancy airports.
FYI: Electric vehicle doe snot equal golf cart. No more then Porsche = go cart.
You vastly overestimate the amount of real choice most humans have.

I can't believe there isn't a beef cut that doesn't start with an A.
in the next zombie movie.
The back of the blade is secure against the log, so that would minimize twisting. If it didn't this ax wouldn't work.
log splitters are slow, and more difficult to take with you into the woods.
My brother owned a draft horse and there was nothing he liked better than pulling. If pulling teams are animal cruelty, then so is playing fetch with your retriever.
Just another anecdote, a friend of mine has sled dogs (~30 dogs, two sleds; he's fairly serious about it) and those dogs clearly love to pull. All you have to do is jingle a harness, or start loading equipment into the trailer used to haul dogs + gear and they go nuts with excitement, crowding over and trying to be first into the traces/trailer. You lay the traces out on the ground and they immediately run to their positions, with some squabbling over who gets to be where, and wait anxiously to be hooked up. The toughest part of getting going in the morning is making them wait until you're ready to go, and then they'll happily run all day long (as long as they get suitable breaks, with food and water). Those who are hurt or otherwise getting a day off are clearly dejected by not getting a chance to get into the traces.
I've known many horses who were almost as excited about their jobs... though I've also known a few who were quite lazy and didn't like to work.
So you did't read my link, and then made a long post which looks pretty foolish to anyone who read the link.
well done .
Modern car, less the 3% would ahve anything impact at all from EMP, and that would mostly be blinking dash lights that go away when you turn your vehicle off and back on.
"Nearly all of the available equipment that would be needed to build or repair infrastructure relies on either computers or electricity."
blatant ignorance.
"You might have that backwards."
I do not, and your post just underscores my point.
Any given program will expand to fill available memory.
