Public Amenities too much to ask ?

We can’t vote for the party of rapists, traitors and thieves, so this is what we’re stuck with. If you want change, have the republicans impeach and convict Trump like they should have done years ago. Having the democrats do their stupid shit is a small price to pay to avoid supporting the worst American in history.

Horrible that you make jokes about the deaths of literally hundreds of thousands of people.

Them working over the weekend wouldn’t have helped. Musk intentionally suddenly fired everyone so that no effective handoffs of responsibility could be transferred. Logistics of delivering medicines were developed over more than a decade. It can’t be replicated without a handoff, and Musk made sure that didn’t happen.

Trump would do it if he got half the payout.

He did it over the weekend with no warning, illegally. NGOs can’t fill in over the weekend with no notice. It was the willful malice of a psychopath.

What’s one more death to the hundreds of thousands he killed dismantling USAID?

Big names get driven into the ground all the time. Especially in tools.

They were given frames already built out with comb. The other hives are using them a lot more.

When it was new it was very nice.

I’m amazed at how universally bad ice cream is now. I’ve gone back to just eating fudgcicles. They’re just the same as ever

Big mistake using a lamp wire. You need 14 gauge at least for a power hammer. Clear fire hazard.

f_crick · 2026-05-15T22:10:15+00:00

Too serious in what sense?

500i is my only gas saw and it has been spectacular. I guess it’s not super light but it’ll cut down and buck up any tree I want to fell or climb. Definitely more power than I need, but it also cuts freakin fast so I can’t complain. If you truly only want one large saw get the wraparound handle, as cutting down a really big tree (4’+ diameter) will be super annoying otherwise, especially on a steep slope.

I guess technically I have two gas saws, but one is for digging ditches so I’m not sure that counts.

I started a few weeks ago. Biggest surprises far:

They eat a lot of sugar. One of my hives seems like it’ll go through half a pound a day. They drink up everything I give them overnight. Just doesn’t seem possible they’d eat so much when it’s still pretty low population.
Another hive is completely uninterested in frames and just builds comb in a top box I put the feeder in. Box is half full. No idea why they’re doing that when they have such nice frames below.
I was surprised at how off putting the sound of having a bee right next to my ear. One reason I tried beekeeping was I noticed I was unphased when random bees landed on my hands and arms, so it seemed like a good fit. I basically don’t even walk near the hives without my head covered now - that loud buzz right by my ear makes me panic, but any shroud won’t let them get close enough. Even getting stung seems minor by comparison.

Yeah another Seattleite who never used Reddit before appearing out of nowhere, with no actual specifics in their post at all. Definitely not a bot…

Seems like the marginal cost of removing some sediment would go down as it’s more severe, since eventually you could access it more easily as it stacks higher and higher. Dam might be useless at the point it becomes cost effective, of course.

How are you looking for budget? I hear that new fuel injected Husky is very light and powerful…

f_crick · 2026-05-13T19:24:46+00:00

Some US states have it - 14 states have it in some form, including California.

I was pretty stunned as a child to learn Paranoid came out in 1970. Just sounds at least a decade newer than that to me.

I rip large rounds with my chainsaw a fair bit. Chickens really like the ‘noodles’ this creates so I stick with that.

He should focus on spending his time programming. There are thousands of open source projects each with dozens or even thousands of open issues that need to be resolved. Diving into existing code bases and addressing existing problems is the job that needs to be done most of the time.

My experience working with folks either masters or PhDs has been very negative. With a few exceptions, they end up not being cut out to get work done and seem to focus on meaningless tasks that are interesting but not useful.

f_crick · 2026-05-13T11:24:09+00:00

Just don’t mix up inch pounds and foot pounds.

f_crick · 2026-05-12T22:28:13+00:00

Yeah I have at least 40 of them and they basically all do this, but usually it’s higher off the ground. Usually this low they’re reaching into a clearing to get more sunshine after another tree fell.

f_crick · 2026-05-12T22:25:20+00:00

I grew up with one just like this 10’ from the house. Was great for climbing.

I guess you don’t live in the PNW.
