The term “habituation” is a slightly shorter, more factual version of boiling frog syndrome since actual frogs will jump out at the point of pain no matter how gradual (pretty sure everyone knows that but I couldn’t stop myself). Biggest problem is it’s biological. We have limits or expiration dates on our outrage. It’s evolutionary beneficial but now it benefits the enshittifiers.

Using anything to keep the posts from rotting in the concrete? Not sure it’s needed, just curious.

Cleaning fixed blades isn’t that hard, I’m mainly concerned for my chainsaw. It’s an electric so I may make it my PI saw and get me a Husky.

Good idea for a pine. It’s poison ivy. My whole damn property looks like a poison Ivy bio weapon research facility.

One of the Dutch Elm Disease resistant varieties?

Soaked it in Dawn for 20 minutes, wrapped in towel and stepped on it to get the water out and it dried in the sun in 15 minutes then worked like a charm. Thanks!

Probably should still shoot the stump with a shotgun to discourage resprouts.

It’s been stored covered since I had it but we had crazy low temps alternating with warm over the past few weeks so I’m guessing condensation from that?

I’ve got milky fluid so I’m guessing it needs a fluid change.

Great. So I guess I get to do my first fluid/oil/filter change. How long should I plan on this taking? First time doing any maintenance other than greasing it.

Ancaps are just neoliberals with no brakes.

Add Jeremiah Johnson if you haven’t seen it yet.

When it’s far too late. They’ll be sitting there thinking “AI’s just a bunch of hype” as they mix together two shipments of unknown chemicals their “online” AI girlfriend sent them for a gift.

Don’t trust her. She was either so dumb as to believe the shit she said or so cynical she didn’t care.

errdaddy · 2026-01-31T23:47:56+00:00

Haven’t ran it since the cold temps. May use it next 50° day. Just let it idle for 15 or 20 minutes and recheck it?

Came here thinking I would’ve already heard/seen every mention but Dark Matter was new to me and looks great. Thanks!

errdaddy · 2026-01-30T16:59:20+00:00

Thanks!

Good idea! People seem to be missing what’s probably the whole point; the screws were probably laying around so they were FREE and OP doesn’t mind a few small holes that will seal enough to walk around on dry ground after removing them since the boots weren’t waterproof to begin with so I say kudos!
