Power usage on an electric blower is very different than other power tools. With a drill you are not constantly revving it. You use it for a few seconds to drive a screw and then setup for the next one. With the blower it’s running continuously.

I have a drill than can run on a battery for most of a days work, while my leaf blower using the same batteries gets maybe 20 minutes of use, if I am conserving it.

I’m not a landscaper, so maybe it can be done, but I’ll believe electric is better when the landscaping companies start using electric tools, just like carpenters switched from wired to battery when it made sense.

System prompt and other tooling make some difference.

Some of these are extreme, but what you’re talking about is the https://512kb.club/, just keep it small, but no limits on what you can use.

I didn’t like it either, but you could still play locally against ai without it, it was their online matchmaking and game servers that required the new epic account.

Still sucks, but it’s not quite the same rug pull that’s often seen.

Technically so are the metal ones, it’s just the plastic doesn’t conduct energy/heat as well as metal.

What kind of range do you have on that? I’ve been debating installing a l2 charger because overnight charging is usually good enough. I tend to get about 15-20 miles range tops on pure electric.

The problem with human curated lists is that in order to block bots everything will require an account to access. That’s the real tragedy here.

That is my main beef with this particular hype train. People will be negatively effected by it, who had no choice in it. With the NFT hype a few years ago nobody was impacted unless they chose to dive into that area.

Given enough time, this hype will blow over

I tend to agree; however, during that time plenty of folks will be let go by middle management buying into the hype.

StackOverflow solved this specific issue pretty well IMO. Each downvote costs you a reputation/karma/fake-internet-point. Lemmy doesn’t count karma, so that’d a bit of a nonstarter, but for systems that do, that feels like a good way to discourage rampant use of downvotes.

I’ve had this idea as well, and I definitely see some benefits though as stated in the thread by someone else, most admins would want to be on a groups instance and not a users instance and I’m not sure how to combat that. The thought that occurred to me was a lemmy federation compatible community only instance server that could augment the current thrediverse landscape. Essentially making it easier to spin up a community for your topic than it is to spin up a while new instance. It would still be easiest to just make a community on your main user instance but it would introduce a new difficulty level for communities to run separate without standing up a whole Lemmy instance.

Even Blinken would have been offended at this awkward letter-boxing. But a-plus for the epic movie reference.

Back on reddit, there was at least one sub dedicated to memes I between just a single division (nfcnorthmemewar, or something close) and it was always hilarious. Definitely miss the regular sub and the meme subs here.

Adam Savage likes them so much he has at least one maybe two videos on his channel dedicated to them.

The fact they’re disposable mechanical pencils annoys me, but they are decent writers with a good eraser. You can buy them in packs of 20 for a few bucks.

This isn’t problem too. If I have a couple things, fine self checkout might be better, but every store has replaced most of the regular lanes with self lanes and more often than not I have an order of sufficient size that the hassle of self checkout isn’t worth it for exactly the reasons you state. Code doesn’t scan, items being moved or bagged too soon or too late. Also the speed at which the scanners work is awful. I’ve worked as a cashier, and the scanning didn’t have any delay between items, but the self checkout is rate limited to an asinine level that, going back to my opening point, is frustrating for anything other than a few items.

Since the flow regulators became standard issue in the 90s, showers are not as good as they were. While the specific messaging may or may not have another meaning related to us politics, it seems like they stand for better showers while using less water, and that seems like a good mission to me.

I hate ads too, but almost no normies are willing to pay for services, so I’m glad they have nitro to reduce ads in my face. It’d be nice if it wasn’t that way but that’s not my choice that’s the choice of the collective to take ads for free stuff.

That plus soda water on top.
