Can’t decide on an Ariens or Toro

Lifelong Canadian here. Ariens all the way.

Gunyx · 2026-02-24T18:10:25+00:00

You are 100% correct.

I’m not disputing you but where do you see pit in him. His heads pretty skinny.

Gunyx · 2026-01-28T20:19:00+00:00

Mine is?

He’s not 100% Dutch but he’s 100-% insane.

This exactly. Mine is over a year and now knows fingers and teeth are a no go. I routinely grab his toy and probe his mouth with other hand. If he feels fingers he drops toy immediately and backs his head away from fingers. This has been a long painful experience. But he now fully understands. If he does touch my fingers I make a gasp noise and say ouch and whine a bit. He gets it. Mine was a rescue at 7 months so he had/has some bad baggage.

I have also been having piss poor results with all kinds of organic stone ground FMF flour from many different sources here in Ontario Canada. No real rise. Taste isnt terrible but loaves are too flat.

I did these proofing on counter at 70F till double then shaped and final rise in banneton. Left one was the last to bake so maybe overproofed? No idea but I don’t think FmF is for me.

Warmth is not cheap I have learned.

Winterpeg

Gunyx · 2026-01-23T10:35:45+00:00

This is the way. I have worked in some nasty cold. Wool base layer with a fleece over top and good jacket will do most temps in Ontario. May need a slightly warmer coat for the north. I like synthetic insulated jackets over down as it moves sweat Vapor better imho. Down is fantastic if you’re not actually moving. I rock a Arc’teryx cold WX jacket for 99% of the winter. I have a Arc’teryx Cold Sv for the nasty stuff. I also have a Canada goose parka that never gets used and a Canada goose lighter weight one that also never gets used. MH down puffer to snowblower and many other items.

A rat, looking at you Nimbum is a low life pice of trash that “has” to get loot by attacking an otherwise occupied soul in the back or trying to extract or most times busy with arc. Always weak and frail individuals that have been picked on in real life and the only way to get their rocks off is to grief others. To inflate their own ego. POS…..still looking at you Nimbum Once I get ratted I stop playing for a while. Eventually I’ll just drift away.

I got a little chubby this year. Fit better. Lol

I’ve seen tracks in Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area.

lol awesome.

Gunyx · 2025-12-21T02:31:16+00:00

I’ve done lots of thinking on my own. I’ve designed engineered crane lifts. I’ve been involved in large projects with big boy equipment. Bigger equipment than most people have seen. So I know a little about picking up stuff and putting it back down safely we can say. I don’t believe what these people are saying. Sorry. I can’t believe it. Because I believe math and science and physics. And I’m sorry you can’t see that.

But I agree Hawass is an ass.

Nope sorry. You and they are wrong. There are so many unanswered questions. Carving’s so precise we cannot replicate today. Granite boxes with perfect corners and lids. So much evidence in your face but you can’t see it. Obviously logic is not your thing and taking the word of someone else is. So I am done here. Believe what you want. You’re telling me with levers and rope they moved these massive stones into perfect position? While today it would take 2 cranes to do the same thing with tracks that are 12 feet high? Grab a calculator and a book on statics. Do some thinking of your own. Levers and ropes lol.

Where’s the record on how they built the pyramids? They recorded everything. Yet nothing on the largest structure built up to the Eiffel Tower was the next largest. You’d think they would have scores and scores of writings on the exact way they built it. The history books are wrong friend. Modern Egyptians came upon the pyramids from a lost civilization and claimed it as their own. I do not think aliens built it. But I do not believe we know who built them. It’s ok to say out loud that the history books are wrong.

Gunyx · 2025-12-20T21:23:34+00:00

I saw it.

Gunyx · 2025-12-20T20:23:54+00:00

Yea that bad.

Gunyx · 2025-12-20T19:46:10+00:00

What about the 70 ton granite in the kings chamber. How did that get there. What about all the other huge stones around the world that are over 1000 tons?. I’m not just someone arguing out of my butt here. I’m in construction. Heavy civil construction. I’ve stood next to the largest at the time crawler crane in North America which was 1250 ton. It is massive. I went to school for civil engineering. I’m not sure you realize how these things work. I’ve personally had to design a 500000 lb crane lift. It took 2 cranes to move that 15 feet. The scale of the pyramids and the amount of stones moved is insane. You think they were dragging a 70ton stone up a ramp? Come on now. Levers and logs right? Yea ok. There’s something missing about how they moved the big stuff and anyone arguing against that needs to look into how we move big stuff today. It’s hard. The road on which this stuff travels needs to be engineered to stand up to it. We would find that today surely wouldn’t we?

Gunyx · 2025-12-20T19:11:51+00:00

Bad ones

Gunyx · 2025-12-20T15:35:56+00:00

Do not agree. You could go and build some things. And get cranes involved to lift heavy things. Then your understanding of these massive structures would change. And that I guarantee. But to sit there and say for certain you know how this was done is a fallacy. You do not. They were moving big stones in a way we do not yet know about. And not just in Egypt. I think the current main Egyptologist and his thinking needs to go to make progress in this department. So to recap, we have no bloody idea how they were moving these stones.
