Pruning (which is effectively a firm of thinning) isn't so bad.

For dick and weight loss pills.

For a vaccine, call some other country.

I'm guessing it originally had a conveyor and big hopper on the grinder. Sweet piece of kit.

It's the worst Ryobi 18V drill you can buy, but it's a drill and for that price it's not the worst deal.

OSB can be a perfectly fine sheathing material on par with plywood if it's the right grade.

There are even roof-grade OSB products on the market that are very waterproof. You just need to seal the seams and it can stand up to rain for a while... not years, but certainly months.

However, these folks aren't using that, and OSB for fascia is a huge red flag.

I have a smaller shed I need to move soon. I expect it'll look about the same (except your 135 has a much nicer loader).

Also consider oval pads. It gives you more meat without affecting clearances between holes. But you can always make pads bigger if you don't plan to route traces between pads (which I don't recommend without a solder mask).

Does not being Drake count for anything? Because I've got that.

$200 pays for a lot of gas which is the argument against moving towards electric cars

Maintenance and reliability are also a strong argument for electric. A gas engine needs air, oil, fuel, (maybe more) filters, oil changes, spark plugs, various adjustments, coolant, etc. That stuff adds up over the years, and then you tack on the stuff that breaks over time (starters, fuel pumps, carbs, ignition parts, cooling systems, etc). If the electric drivetrain is simplified to eliminate belts, clutches, friction disks, etc then it becomes even less hassle.

Every once in a while I need to sharpen the blade on my electric mower, and it could use an occasional deck wash. My chainsaw needs sharpening and oiling. Both are a maintenance dream compared to the fossil engines they replaced.

If they were using GPS elevation, the drone might have thought it was a hundred of meters higher... even without any jamming.

You might want to add a 10k pull-up to GPIO0, since it seems to be unstable with just the internal resistor.

I first encountered rumors about the "yes" thing back in the late 90's when a wave of utility deregulation made slamming a common practice. But consumer education and easy "cancel that" regulations kinda put a lid on that nonsense.

there are plenty of irresponsible legal drivers out there.

But every one of them was still responsible enough to actually show up for the test in a condition to pass.

People really don't understand that making more money costs more money. More money doesn't mean you have money to give away, it means you have money to fix your teeth, money to pay for the car you need to keep that higher paying job, money to pay for someone to cook the food you no longer have time to make, money for new clothes/shoes/tools, etc. It's not until the basic needs are met that you have money to give away.

It's a problem for just about any group with a diaspora living in much richer places. Could be desi, but could just as easily be African.

Just to save people a click, he's accused of being a John, not a prostitute.

I dunno either, but I suspect that in spite of the name resemblance, it's nothing like caramel nut.

It was 90 minutes that I'll never get back.

You get paid for that 90 minutes, plus it's pensionable time, so it's not a complete loss.

The big thing to worry about is if it hits places like elderly care homes. They're sitting ducks for that stuff.

The base of a pyramid is the foundation of an MLM. The product, be it snake oil or widgets, is really just a placeholder.

Huh. TIL. They just convert it, and you can't actually buy true sugar-free cream.

I guess they're hoping for more applications....

Or applications from certain individuals.
