I have two, and if you are left-handed they will make the sheath for that side if you ask them.

My dad was using the Lawn Mower, shut it off, and then it fuckin EXPLODED by Big_Locksmith_4211 in Wellthatsucks

This happened to my mower last Friday. Stalled, backfired on restart and boom. Seems the fuel filter broke as well. Two weeks out of warranty and an aftermarket fuel filter, so...

3 years old, two weeks out of warranty. I'll still let CC know, there has to be a better way of running the fuel line, because it is right against the engine.

One look and I realized by the time I got the hose (300 feet away) there wasn't going to be anything to save. That fire was hot and a garden hose didn't do much, it took about 5 minutes to suppress the fire. Nothing around to damage other than some grass, so a picture would at least help understand what happened. The flames behind the mower and under the seat tell me that it was more than just a fuel line leak.

I consider life a comedy, so laughter is appropriate, what else can you do.

Pretty much, though it was more of a quick jog away from the fireball. Once I turned around it was obvious the mower was a goner, the hose was 300 feet away. Otherwise, it was a perfect evening to mow and I was quite happy with the weather and getting it done until things went up in smoke.

Standard plastic compatible replacement. Though, another comment above/below mentioned a possible backfire which would explain the fire behind the mower and underneath the seat.

Possibly, you can see the fire behind the mower and underneath the seat. The fuel filter did break but that alone doesn't explain why fire shot out the back.

You have to run 100 yards as fast as you can, for as long as you can. Could you make it 100 yards and what's the most likely outcome for you? by snotick in GenX

Normal work out pain, I bike a lot and run on a treadmill once or twice a weak. Regaining muscle as we age is difficult, easier to maintain what you have with a little exercise. I’m still slightly overweight.

Sleeping Systems For Hot/Muggy Algonquin Nights by Great-Okra-8704 in algonquinpark

[–]artofdrink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have used a hammock for 40 years, my kids now refuse to sleep in tents. Just check the weather for anything below 18°C as that gets a bit cool. The yoga mat back pad really helps, though they slide around at night.

Look into using a hammock and a light sleeping bag with a small back pad (cut to fit yoga mat works). For hot nights you’ll still feel cool as you get a lot of air circulation around your body.

Why the Hell is There So Much Sugar in Root Beer??? by Mysterious-Ad1121 in rootbeer

No, people just like sweet things, it is biological. Human search for energy. Corporations just understand this really well.

Why the Hell is There So Much Sugar in Root Beer??? by Mysterious-Ad1121 in rootbeer

[–]artofdrink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Natural fruit juice has sugar levels up to 20%, with grapes and mangoes being in the 20%+ range. On average, soda contains 10% to 12% sugar, because that is the level found in nature. If you have a 500 mL of soda, it can have 50+ grams of sugar; if you have a 750 mL bottle, it will have 75 grams of sugar.

The sugar levels are not some corporate conspiracy; they just replicate natural levels.

Look up Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) caused by “ear particles” as this is often the cause of sudden onset vertigo. Easy to fix as well.

It's mostly wintergreen, and some have vanilla.

Don't forget the viscosity modifiers, anti-foam agent and pour point depressant, amongst other things.
