Cool, did not know that! I have to admit I made assumptions there, figuring 2 stroke engines are probably more appropriate for smaller equipment. But I guess since you don’t have to carry a mower, a heavier engine is not a big deal, makes sense.
Good luck with your mower, no need for something else as long as it’s still working! After all, with a lot of things they really don’t make em like they used to, that old mower could serve you for a very long time.
I think most mowers are two stroke engines, which generally are designed to burn oil.
I expect they do need lubrication from time to time. I just bought an electric mower this year and it’s pretty low power, so I predict that any amount of additional friction in the system is going to be too much.
I’ve been having trouble with this too.
So far my best assessment is that the problem stems from the Chromecast not playing well with my router. Resetting the Wi-Fi on my router tends to fix the problem, but it’s seriously annoying.
Separately, I also have issues with the play/pause not working when casting and some other weird interface behaviors sometimes. But all in all, it’s worth complaining, but it still works better than everything else.
Oh man, I fell apart with that line…

Seriously, I’m still chuckling
Yeah, the hivemind can get pretty tiresome.
Are you joking? Well the answer is no, no the SLS is about 40 years behind as far as technology goes. It’s basically a shuttle derived launch vehicle, the boosters are similar to the shuttle side boosters and it uses 4 slightly updated RS-25s (the space shuttle main engines) in the center stage.
Except instead of getting with the times and attempting some reusability, it actually has less reusability than the shuttle had. They actually throw away all of those expensive high performance hydrolox engines on every launch.
That’s literally exactly what spaceX is developing, rockets you don’t have to blow up every flight.
Fully reusable rockets have never been done before, but they’re coming.
I fully support this. Fuck Uber.
Oh ok, well that’s a relief. I’m glad we had you and your crystal ball handy!
Haha everyone keeps saying that! But it’s pretty funny how wrong everyone is about where the mistake was.
The math is just fine, I did the simple addition correctly. It’s the reading comprehension that I got wrong, I misunderstood what the sentence was saying.
No, my math is just fine, it’s my reading comprehension that needs work, because I totally misunderstood what that sentence was saying.
Oh thank you, my mistake. Still the numbers are huge!
Ugh… it drives me nuts!
Musk had to borrow around $13 billion for his doomed $44 billion acquisition.
Had he spent that $57 $44 billion on developing space hardware instead of going insane and squandering it on social media bullshit, he might have done something worthwhile. I mean… fifty seven billion! What even is that much money? He could have had his own space station for that much money! He could fly up there for weekends, just for funzies.
My assumption would be that they’ll work better.
The scariest part of technology is software updates.
Yeah, I don’t trust proton mail.
First off, email is inherently insecure, trying to secure it is largely a waste of time.
Secondly, proton has complied with subpoenas in the past, revealing user messages to authorities/governments.
Finally, it’s just too centralized, with a single point of failure, why would you trust it?
So how about a $150 external drive?
Actually, for $150 you could probably make that a 4tb drive
Fuel cells can also run cars, and refilling is much faster than recharging.
It’s usually faster, yeah. But honestly I’m not sure which I’d rather have in my cars, explosive Li batteries or explosive highly pressurized hydrogen. Or are we storing liquid hydrogen? Because that seems like an even worse idea.
It sucks that high density energy storage systems are by definition able to release a lot of energy (explosive).
Or compare to the CO2 put out by global concrete construction. It’s more than some might believe.
