If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.

Otherwise I always go backwards.

Am I the only one who would find the woman at the left more attractive?

The right just looks like plastic to me, same with all of these instagram influencer ladies who have more plastic surgeries than I have fingers.

The difference with all those other tools is that you are always there when it runs. You are not there when the robot lawnmower is running and some cat jumps your fence, which is why it should not harm the cat.

You are kind of correct that the rpm of the robot mower blades are faster, but the blades are much lighter and most mowers even have swiveling blades that are only held straight by the centrifugal force, so they will just swivel away when they hit something.

The blades are not much more than razor blades that are mounted on a plastic disc with one screw each. You wouldn’t want to put your hand into the spinning blade, which is very hard to do anyway, but there is just not enough power to throw rocks with any significant force.

I would be able to put my finger in the way of the blades if they were completely blunt and I would not get hurt very much if at all, doing the same thing on a normal mower would be a very different story.

Yes, I have heard about that too, which is why I only let mine run at daytime.

Lawnmower robots have much smaller blades with less inertia. I don’t doubt a direct hit would hurt, but rocks just won’t get thrown very fast by it. A direct hit would also be pretty hard to achieve because the skirt stops anything big from getting under the robot and the blades stop immediately when it gets lifted up.

Just imagine how many lawsuits the manufacturers would have to deal with if these things were only slightly unsafe.

Nothing you said inferred credibility unto Russian sources, I just wanted to add my take on the bigger picture.

Which is, that Ukrainian reporting is probably not 100% correct and there probably are inflations somewhere (like you said), it is still bound to reality, while Russian reporting lost its touch with reality on day one.

I guess its a knee jerk reaction to all the tankies defending russia lol

At least what Ukraine is claiming is somewhat based in reality compared to what russia claims.

According to russian sources, russia has destroyed some vehicle and plane types in higher numbers than ukraine ever had, yet Ukraine still has some.

Weird how that works.

I just use some cheapo liquid chain wax on my bike and I dont clean my chain very often, I just put some new wax on the chain when it gets just even slightly squeaky. I have noticed that almost no dirt stays on the drivetrain with wax, it just falls off after a few km. Everything stuck to the chain when using oil, so its an improvement and I dont spend nearly as much effort on it as you do.

Bad Management and upper level decision makers probably don’t help either.

YELLOW!!!

Best thing is, when you finally do do the thing, everyone is going to be surprised. And you can say that you did tell them that you would do it.

Ask me how I know.

Here in Germany the forum culture is still somewhat alive, social media did take a big cut though.

Drogen verbieten, ist kein guter Vergleich, Drogendealer zu verbieten ist der richtige Vergleich.

Ehrlich gesagt hätte ich nichts dagegen, Social Media bei denen es nur um Selbstdarstellung oder Kurzunterhaltung geht, zu verbieten. Denn am Ende sind die alle nur darauf ausgelegt, möchlichst süchtig zu machen.

Dazu würde ich unter anderem TikTok und Instagram zählen, Lemmy aber nicht.

My family is upper middle class, although my mom did struggle financially for a few years. I went to school in a poorer neighborhood, so I do have some friends with less money, I have some friends with parents who make about as much as mine, but I dont have any friends with really rich families, although I was sort of friends with one who went to vocational school with me.

It does help to understand just how much it sucks to have no money, so yes.

Yeah, I wouldn’t classify myself as rich, just middle class and I do some of those things, my mom and her boyfriend could do all of those things and I would not classify them as rich either, just upper middle class.

The actually rich people buy stuff that is so expensive that I couldn’t afford it, even if I saved for years, and the price is mostly that high so they can show their rich friends just how rich they are.

I live in Germany, the definition of middle class might be different in other countries, though.

Only put a tax on vacant homes where there is an active housing crisis, rural areas should be excluded

Except Steam never deletes games that you already own or takes them away from you for other reasons.

Yes, they could do that in the future but its the one company where that is unlikely.

That sign looks too much like the sign for the “verkehrsberuhigter Bereich” sign in in my opinion.

Holy shit, 300mg caffeine sounds insane to me (a German). Over here Energy Drinks are not allowed to contain more than 32mg caffeine/100ml. So a big can (500ml) would have 160ml. Those are already a bit too much for me, I can only imagine how 300mg would feel.

The thought that I might eventuelly find someone who I can share my life with and I would share hers.
