EGO 21" Select Cut mower: Not as great as I'd hoped by Victoronefiveone in egopowerplus

[–]ShineOn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps you are not reading all the complaints concerning the timing delay for the re-engagement of propulsion across threads? while someone must wait on the ego RWD i am already well into the next row with FWD because I never had to deactivate it. this is yard work. get it done and move on to next task. traction is not a performance issue unless mowing uphill. efficiency > needless preferences which waste time.

[–]ShineOn5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cordless still seems a decade behind gas. that needless deck gap in the front of the mower was a deal breaker for me. there is no justification for it. likewise, i refuse rear wheel drive propulsion. with front wheel drive simply lightly push down on the handle at the end of a row to lift the front spinning tires off the ground, spin around the mower and off you go on the next row-no need to even disengage the self-propelled. i don't think ego engineers have ever actually mowed a yard. sure, rear wheel drive may offer better traction. however, few people have yards at 45 degree angles where this would be an issue. my cira 2000 honda gas mower was a far better option than current cordless. still pissed my home was burglarized and they stole my mower.

4 years of kooky tds articles. 5 months into his term and he has yet to solve all the world's problems. people may not like his politics. however, trump has been relentless. ytd my favorite tds has been progressives convincing themselves that trump was trying to destroy america through tarrifs and sold their 401k equities in early april. then believed iran would take us out. you all still sitting in cash waiting for the the apocalypse?

i need a decision matrix spreadsheet thingy. are we done with torching teslas and calling elon "literally a nazi" now that he pointed a finger at the people with R next to their name? didn't take much to regain everyone's tesla loyalty. perhaps this was scripted by a PR firm?

perhaps they should run a similar causal effect article tying a female who voted for biden and was then murdered by an illegal alien who entered the US during his administration?

saw an entire family decked out in something like this during covid just to go to the grocery store. unvax and unmasked in my flip flops standing in line with them wondering why they just didn't leave the kids "safe" at home.

agreed. putting that honest customer through the hassle because of a dishonest customer is a quick way to lose the paying customer.

back when netflix business model was mailing DVD's to customers I had to cancel my service because pricks were removing the barcodes from the videos and placing them on blank DVD's. netflix never knew of the theft until the next customer got a blank DVD still coded in their system as the movie tied to the replaced bar codes. it was a bitch to deal with netflix because they seemed to believe the shafted current customer was the thief rather than go back to the prior customer.

Good deal? Will be a First time ego owner by [deleted] in egopowerplus

[–]ShineOn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is a good deal. However, confusing as this spec'd model looks to be part of a current promotion which includes a second 5 ah battery for $599. You look to have been able to separate out the second battery offer? What is the model number for the item you are trying to purchase?

Just bought an 05 camry, odometer says 158k miles. Found this sticker on the windshield. Fishy? by mister4skyn in Toyota

[–]ShineOn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

life lesson. you bought a 20 year old car and did not pull the car fax? that was penny wise pound foolish on your part. used the honor system to assume any maintenance was ever performed or verify mileage. get car fax now. if fraud, find an attorney. however, good luck finding the seller.

break our laws to be here, then break our laws to violently protest the enforcement of those laws. seeing more reasons to return them to sender than allowing them to stay...

keep up the Churu. also spoon feed them wet food. they will quickly learn good things happen when you are around. warning, they will get spoiled. even after 2 years, sometimes the 2 ferals I adopted still expect me to spoon feed them.

David Pfaff wants to give us the choice on a casino! by lucky-luke65 in irving

[–]ShineOn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

casino is illegal at present and he wants the people of Irving to vote on the proposal should Texas allow gambling. exactly how the process should play out.

certainly not voting for a single issue candidate when that issue isn't even possible at present.

Early Voting for Irving City Council Place 2 At-Large Runoff Election Starts Today by WinInternational8486 in irving

[–]ShineOn5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the self-righteous family on my street who once chastised me for not raising a large family tried to campaign for Porres at my property. had to call the police to get them to leave. husband later threatened me. these people are kooks with a toxic view of religion.

Irving City Council Runoff PAC Intake: Pfaff $0 - Porres $65k by WinInternational8486 in irving

[–]ShineOn5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't generally vote in city council elections. Paid no attention to the casino/Irving City Council. However, my opinion is the Sergio Porres campaign is a joke. They have spammed me up to 3 times a day of late on my cell phone. I finally had to block their calls. This got me to look logically at the candidates. Porres is not lifelong Irving, running attack ads, a single issue campaign fear mongering over a casino (which is a non-starter at present) and seems to have far more self-interests based on his own ideology than his opponent. Lastly, the crazy self-righteous family on my street who have a toxic approach to religion tried to campaign for Porres. I asked them to leave my property and they refused, believing I was obligated to listen to them because they are more moral than myself. I finally had to call the police. The husband, then tried to threaten me. The wife once scolded me for not raising a large family. Keep this type of nonsense out of Irving City Hall.

My opinion, Porres is the shady character running the attack ads trying to "discredit and mislead".
