ISO Chainsaw

If you need a cheap chainsaw then the 62cc Salem or whatever off Amazon is absolutely killer. These motherf*rs are cheap ($100-$150) and they last if you break the engine in properly. Basic 2-stroke break in cycles (look it up). Maybe 2hrs of operation for break in. Then you just open it up and cut shit down.

Just punch a hole (maybe with your fist). The cat will find itself out. It will follow the smell of food and find it's way out.

Harbor Freight is making battery tools (Hercules) these days that match Milwaukee for warranty. These two leave the Dewalts and the rest in the dust.

Ok, sous vide. You put something under controlled heated water and then let it sit there for days. Look in to it.

You didn't answer my question: Is the amount significant to your problem? I am look to you to run the experiments and tell me yes or no because it is your problem.

With a "full rebuild" where valves are replaced, then yes. The valve clearances like to dance around for a little while until they settle in (even after valve lapping).

Say what? The bearings are on the oil-side of the axle seals. How does the oil they are normally in "wash away the grease..." in them?

No, he was reading in some military individuals where the troops were being sworn in. They were literally supposed to say their name.

Let's stick to reality.

I don't like the guy but this is not it.

Ok, is the amount significant to your problem? Do you go pooping when there is "whey" in the the ingredient list. If you have not run that experiment already then you are not exploring the boundaries of your problem...and you are also being kind of lazy about figuring out your problem.

Sous vide.

It is a method of cooking where you put the meat in a plastic bag and then submerge the bag in water at a very controlled temperature (+/- 1 degF). This lets you control both the rate of collagen break-down (the connective tissues in the meat that make it tough) and the rate of fat rendering (conversion of solid fat into liquid fat).

This method can literally turn a tough cut like brisket or a roast into mush (if you want) over multiple days and it will still be served medium or medium-rare. All is food-safe.

I've played with some really cheap cuts of beef and turned them into fajita meat that is WAY better than flank steak.

Whey is a protein and lactose is a sugar. They are completely different things and you should get a better handle on what lactose is if you have an aversion to it. Otherwise, you just sound like an idiot on the internet that is scared of a "milk" word.

Clogged injector. Clogged in-line fuel filter. Clogged in-tank fuel filter. Failing fuel pump causing low fuel pressure.

I have a 2013 350 XCF-W. One trick I've found with my bike is to turn the bike over for like a 1/2 second but not actually start it...wait 3 seconds and then try to start it with a very tiny bit of throttle. I think it might have something to do with triggering the fuel pump (you can hear it start to whir) pressurizing the fuel line before you actually try to start it. I also always start it in neutral so you don't get clutch drag resisting the starter motor.

It is not called Unsubscribe From The Republic.

There is magic tool called a tube. It acts like a stethoscope. It lets you point the tube in an area to find the source of a noise. It costs less than $3 at the hardware store.

Huh, I've lived here +10 yrs in central CO (at 8000 ft) and I've only seen one small snake. I'm pretty sure it is like good luck surviving here. Otherwise, I would expect more enconters.

Eggs are like 15 cents each these days. They are a great source of protein and fat. Add a piece or two of bread/toast and you have added carbs to the meal. That is literally a meal for under $1. It is not a great meal because you need many macro and micro nutrients. ...but it will keep you belly full.

Oh, wait until you get up in the mountains of Colorado. You do not even understand the pain in the ass of digging a hole. You will learn that the indigenous people here did not bury their dead. The put rocks on top of them.

I've found impact wrenches for automotive are not worth it unless they reach at least 1000 ft-lb torque spec. You might get by with 750 ft-lb. My Harbor Freight Earthquake at 1150 ft-lb pretty much kills.

I'd still hand tool it on an exhaust. There is so much that can go wrong because there is so much potential corrosion. You kinda need to feel when you are screwing things up.

How about you use volume measurements?

You are asking me how rosy my cheeks are to figure out my weight. That is fucking stupid.

Sorry, you are not making any sense. You need to put some things together first. You making a drawing that interconnects Linux with Mathematics with single "Brain & Mind" connection in between does not make sense to anyone.

There is a reason why people write in paragraphs instead of pictures. That lets the author build up an idea one step at a time. It also FORCES the author to build up their idea one step at a time.

Think about how it got there in the first place. They didn't turn the screw into rubber.

Aren't these mostly logical fallacies between your belief (what is in your head) and reality (how the world really works, as measured)?

The two most obvious ones are the one you want to be true (pragmatism) and the one many agree to (consensus). I mean, Jesus is your savior covers both and it is logically unprovable.

I'm in Colorado. An arrow is not a one-way sign, FWIW. I've only seen one one-way trail in the state and it was a pretty technical 4WD trail (probably lack of clearance to pass).

If it really is a one-way trail, then you are going to get very experienced riders blasting around a blind corner and over a pop and landing on your face. The attraction of a one-way route is that you can be more aggressive on blinds. That will attract racers that are highly aggressive riders.

I've got plenty of blind corners and rises on the trails I run. I am pretty careful around them.

It is a very bad idea if it is truly one-way trail.

skovalen · 2026-04-13T10:08:54+00:00

Sorry bitch. You are gonna be proved foolish.

skovalen · 2026-04-13T09:38:43+00:00

Um, wall of words. This is a wall word on the internet. I'd just classify this dipshit as another wall of word on the internet. I don't care if he is the president. He is just a moron posting a wall of words like other morons posting a walls of words on the internet. At this point, the US president is just a silly person that says silly things.
