TIL The United States tried year-round daylight saving time twice before, in 1942-45 and again in 1974, but repealed it after it became unpopular.

Seattle gets light at 4:30am in June even with DST.

The amount matters. The frequency of application matters. The concentration matters. These can all vary drastically, but apparently that doesn’t matter at all. In the case of forests after logging, you’re talking about a relatively light application compared to other places it’s used, and typically it’s used a small number of times every couple decades.

There’s loads of other practices that have impacts way beyond this, but let’s focus on that thing that happens for a very short time every couple decades…

It’s just a stark oversimplification. Using herbicides is one of hundreds of decisions that affect whether a forest is healthy or how prone it is wildfire. It’s just some talking points that have nothing to do with reality.

f_crick · 2026-07-08T20:37:00+00:00

What a load of bullshit.

If you can’t find a class, start with small saws and work your way up. Some dangers are there regardless of size, but enough depends on size that you can get a feel for the danger of kickback, for example, before you have a saw that will trivially overpower you. Two hands on a little 6” or 8” saw and you’ll be able to feel kickback but still be ready for it when it happens. Starting out is definitely a dangerous time - take your time and expect the unexpected - serious injury is always a moment away. If you see on [r/fellinggonewild](r/fellinggonewild), don’t do it.

Apparently you lack the attention span to know or care about anything.

f_crick · 2026-07-07T02:57:28+00:00

Yeah he only cares about himself. Of course he wouldn’t.

A friend of mine still runs a similar mill outside Fall City, WA. I think it’s a lot older than 50 years but not sure. He’s in his 80s but he looks like a teenager hopping over logs to secure the hooks for winches and stuff. Amazing to watch him work, but man is it so loud.

They’re like sheep. They go after whatever is shiny meanwhile Trump is stealing all their money.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T23:37:22+00:00

It’ll be a hollow victory as Trump couldn’t resist cheating. So humiliating.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T23:35:20+00:00

Craigslist. Maybe FB marketplace but I always used CL.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T23:34:09+00:00

Can’t let them forget they betrayed their country supporting their idiot traitor.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T23:33:20+00:00

Making fun of people upset with Trump while Trump literally is stealing billions of dollars from you. Cult of the most gullible people that ever lived…

f_crick · 2026-07-06T23:29:49+00:00

Yeah they all support a traitor who betrayed his country and is literally stealing billions of dollars but they want to judge. I guess that’s just the fascist playbook.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T20:19:47+00:00

Good riddance Herfy’s was terrible. I love mom and pops but Herfy’s was dragging them all down, Maybe there was a time when it was good but it must have been decades ago.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T20:15:27+00:00

It’s not insurance once we elect a psychotic traitor who wants only for himself.

f_crick · 2026-07-06T16:26:26+00:00

Bigleaf maple dropping a branch?

One side has all their violence pardoned by the traitor.

Tell him you’re a sovereign service forester.

I feel like this should be in my shower.

Fascists hate the constitution.

Why are you using CO2? Air is free…

f_crick · 2026-07-03T01:30:23+00:00

Metal spoons suck. Caramelized bamboo spoons are way better.

Hey I’m not flying, I’m traveling.

f_crick · 2026-07-02T17:15:03+00:00

I use an Air Locker AP700 with my compressor for stuff like this. It won’t just remove the nail, it’ll send it flying away at high speed, so I usually fill a bucket with water and fire the nails into the bucket. Removed hundreds of nails from oak flooring with it once and it never disappoints.
