Default Best methods of stress relief?
What methods work for you?
Stress balls, jogging, screaming at the sky??

How about a good old fashioned sucker punch?

I forge knives.
Beating on hot steel is very good therapy.

spent some time in my shop yesterday and today, making some door trim for the guesthouse boiler room. relaxing to bevel the board's edges by hand, and not use my router.

but i don't retreat there to escape "stress". if I'm tired or stressed (rarely stressed), i certainly don't go play with power tools.

Sucker punching someone would be completely unsatisfying. Getting up in the face of an asshole who totally deserves it, shouting them down until they feel they either have to cower in fear, or punch me in the face, them deciding to punch me in the face, and me blocking and countering resulting in their unconsciousness, would be minimally satisfying.
