? Not high enough to keep leaves from plugging them up. I mean, I could technically get it done with a huge extension cord, but that would be a terrible pain in the ass.

30 minutes from a $100 battery vs an hour from a $1.25 in fuel, no recharging, and no batteries that go bad.

I bet it will be made to run awesome on steam deck.

Sure, if you need less power and want to deal with the extension cord, and where you’re blowing is within 100 feet of an outlet. Doesn’t work well for gutters or large properties or houses with only 1 or 2 outlets outside.
Huh. I can’t think of 297 other uses for a leaf blower, so I guess your 99% claim might be a bit…overblown.
- Comment on Hearing is be-leafing: Students invent quieter leaf blower 2 days ago:
Gas powered is still vastly superior for things like leafblowers. A good gas one can last 15 years and take a total of $40 in maintenance parts for that entire time, all while blowing harder. High end battery powered ones will last 45 minutes and need a couple hundred dollars worth of replacement batteries every few years. My stihl from 1997 still works like it’s new.

T-mobile has been profitable every single year since 2013. Well before the merger.

I was on t mo’s “top tier” magenta max plan.
Now, you can’t even get very good deals on a trade in phone with that plan because they created something else to phase out magenta max. I think the only benefit over magenta max is like 10GB more hotspot data. 50 instead of 40.
But you need that plan (which of course, is more expensive) if you want the same types of trade in deals you used to get on Max.
Neither which really affects me too much, because I haven’t gotten a phone through a carrier plan in like a decade. My 4 year old current phone isn’t going away any time soon, either. The last descent phone with a micro sd card slot. Note 20 Ultra.

Sweet. Thanks. SD has pretty much completely taken over as my gaming PC, so whenever I get around to 2077, I’ll be doing the same as you.

Anyone play on the steam deck? How is the performance on it since the last update?

Your “risk” increases 400%. Your risk of getting a specific cancer before may have only been something like 0.02%, but now it’s 0.08%. That’s still a 400% increase.

No. It really isn’t. If that were the case, the streaming services wouldn’t actually be making a lot more money. Netflix market cap has gone up by $120,000,000,000 over the last 5 years, for instance.
Stop making up false excuses for simple greed. Streaming services are just after as much money as they can get from you.
- Comment on Chemicals in car interiors may cause cancer — and they’re required by US law: 1 week ago:
Your smart-ass little comment was about if it increases more than walking around outside. You made it without reading the article, and now you’re trying to strawman your way around it by talking about what a 400% increase actually means, as if everyone in here is as dumb as you think they are. Newsflash for ya. Most arent.

The article states its a 400% increase…

"Morrison, of the firefighters advocacy group, added that “firefighters are concerned that flame retardants contribute to their very high cancer rates.” "
Firefighters union (IAFF) is currently having to sue the governing body (NFPA) to remove carcinogens in the clothes (bunker gear/turnouts) they wear.

For sure. Mine is tombstone. Their crust is just right for me. Thinner than many, but still not close to a thin crust. If it’s lacking in topping or flavors, I can add that on myself.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
I add things on, usually. I like tombstone pizzas the most, for the thickness their crust is. Thicker than a thin crust, but still not too thick and bready. I’ll sprinkle on some fennel, oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and often times hot sauce. Then if it’s a bit lacking on cheese I’ll throw on some shredded mozzarella a few minutes before it’s done cooking.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
A great trick for delivery/carry out is to heat up and lightly butter a skillet and place your slices in there on medium heat for like 3 to 5 minutes. It makes the crust crispy and the taste like twice as good compared to lukewarm soggy crust.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
Like the last day it looks like it can still be usable before you’re forced to “throw away money”.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
Anyone else prefer a frozen pizza over delivery? Like, taste wise? Like it’s better than dominoes or pizza hut.

What’s hard now is finding a private sale from the vehicles actual owner. Thanks to Facebook and lazy half assed pieces of crap, almost every cheap used car listed on Facebook marketplace is one being flipped instead of one being sold by a long term owner.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
Salads aren’t usually vegan. Many gave been touched by cheese, a milk product, or egg.
Vegan also isn’t like an allergy. It’s a choice. Choose to bring your own food.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
See. Here we are. Even now. “Vegan option yadda yadda. So easy. Why would you invite such and such without thinking of food restrictions blah blah blagh”
You couldn’t help yourself.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 week ago:
I’m not really sure that does answer the question, actually. I think that’s a bit different of a question.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 week ago:
Was it actually for sale in countries that don’t allow psn accounts, or did people spoof locations to buy the game from those countries? I’ve been trying to find this out the past two days and still haven’t gotten confirmation that the game was or is for sale on steam in a place like Egypt. All I’ve seen is people saying it was for sale there, but it’s all coming from assuming it is, because others also not from any of those countries have made the same claim.
So; can anyone from a region that doesn’t support PSN confirm if they were able to buy HD2 with their correct region selected? I just genuinely want to know, because if so, I would think at least those individuals should be able to get a refund, even though they ignored all the warnings about the psn requirements.

A publisher in gaming bankrolls a lot of the costs and hurdles. Why do you think developers often use publishers? You think they just want to have a boss and give a cut of the profits away for nothing?
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
They are way overly convinced their option is the best and only viable option, and they won’t shut up about. They also want special treatment at all gatherings. “You don’t have a vegan option?” “I said I was a vegan and all they gave me was a simple salad” “You’re hurting the environment” blah blah blah.
Yes, “not all vegans are like that”, but enough are that it makes them all assumed to be annoying.
How do you know someone is a vegan? Don’t worry. They’ll tell you.
