which way to the MACHINES?
leafblower chat reminds me of how my landlord hired some random guy to do pre-winter grounds cleanup, and how for like 3 weeks 8 hours a day he just used a weedwacker on every square inch of ground surrounding my cottage

Like he could have used a lawnmower for the vast majority of it but nope

the idea that burning petrochemicals is manlier than other ways of generating energy is an amazing coup by oil companies because nothing motivates american men like the implication that people might think you're a gay because of one of your consumer choices

Yeah it's worked great for 100 years. Even in early automobile days electric cars were cheaper to maintain than oil burning gas drinkers so they were labeled woman cars so men would blow their money on cash pits instead

looks like oregon products used it in its current form first. nintendo had a similar one with a thinner oval a few years before oregon did, but nintendo didn't adopt the red one with a thick oval until the mid 80s.

there is no basis for suing over a similar looking logo if the products are unlikely to be confused with one another. video game companies and outdoor equipment companies have no overlap in products or market.

the covid vaccine signup system opened up today for seniors 80+ and first nations people 65+.

1.7 million people called the hotline this morning. there are only 5 million people in the province.

anyways I'm celebrating year 2 of this poo poo by leaving work early and having a socially distanced responsible cheeky pint with the lads at a small brewery that only seats a couple dozen people at a time

lawns are horrible. owning a motorized machine to keep grass in eternal horny adolescence, growth spurts in play but it never gets to gently caress

xeriscaping/regional plant yards are wonderful though

Not sure what you're talking about, committing ecocide by replicating what 18th century inbred gentry thought was good, outside of the climate that supported it, in awkward miniature: all of that seems good to me

lawns are only acceptable in climates where grass actually lives year round

anywhere else, just concrete it over and put a fuckin apartment building on it

actually do that everywhere tbh

It's actually only for 90+ year olds who don't live in any sort of assisted living / long term care type place, plus aged 65+ indigenous.

Especially given that a lot of indigenous people have already been vaccinated and only 3.8% of population is indigenous (ie 190,000 total skewed young), there are probably fewer than 20,000 people who have any business calling.
