Yes

That was my later compromise: if we’re such a green state make all this poo poo mandatory electric instead of a bunch of two stokes and crappy Briggs and Strattons

That will drop the noise a fair amount

leaf blowers are an intensely annoying sound


dude across the alley will occasionally spend what seems like half the drat day wandering his roof and waving his leaf blower around. i've watched him do it and it's the most half-assed thing i've seen. he'll frequently blow poo poo onto places he's already blown clean. i'm half-convinced he thinks it hasn't been a productive day if he hasn't made a bunch of noise.

i try to just live and let live, i don't know what his circumstances are and i don't want to deny someone the ability to do stuff in their own space, but there was one day when i had to walk over and ask him not to start and idle his goddamn dump truck at 5 in the loving morning right next to a four-plex of sleeping people.


i'm not exaggerating either, it's not just a big pickup or something, dude's got some kind of side hustle and occasionally will work on a literal no-poo poo dump truck in the alley.

when you have kids the poo poo in the car turns into a legit india style landfill where you have families of people now living in the garbage

the best use of a leafblower is to clean out your gutters. seriously, it works incredibly well, basic electric ones work fine and they even come with attachments to make it easier

gently caress you if you are like my neighbor who spends hours leafblowing his driveway even when there aren't any leaves. like "oh my god there's DIRT in the DRIVEWAY this is unacceptable!!". use a goddamn pushbroom or something if it bothers you that much.
