The turnover of battery implements is astonishing.

My ten year old self-maintained Sthil chainsaw still works perfectly.

There is bollocks here in plain sight.

I have a 20 year old "Weed Eater(TM)"

the carb is in need of service
eg.
the primer bulb doesn't actually pump (have to pop the air filter off and dribble some fuel into the hole)
and the diaphragm is stiff from the ethanol gas and age
it doesn't idle well

but I can still get it started and it runs fine for the 3-4 times per year that I need it

if it was battery operated
I would have had to buy new batteries at least 3 or 4 times by now
because batteries don't have the same life as a gas engine

Awwww... It's so cute when they think it ends with one law.

Just 15 days to slow the spread!

LOL, relating a pandemic response to a ban on sales of a particular type of consumer products? How deluded you must be. Fear mongering at it's finest, you probably feel your being mugged when you tip a pizza man your so threatened by imaginary slippery slope arguments.

Oh wow, you pointed out the fact I'm too lazy to switch keyboards on my mobile to access my apostrophe, oh damn you got me. That complete destroys me you lazy bastard.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79017631


I can sell you a software kit that talks you through programming your own apostrophes. Works on most popular operating systems. It takes a few years to learn but if you get good at it you can go into business selling apostrophes to owners of SHIT PLATFORMS that leave them out.

The wonderful, beautiful liberals of that state's government a few years ago decriminalized the law against people who knowingly give HIV to another person. In most (if not all) cases, that would be gay/bi males infecting other gay/bi males.

Liberals are the best. They put the "socio" into sociopathic.

It's even worse than you can imagine in person.

California regulators voted on Thursday to ban the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers starting in 2024 and portable generators by 2028, the latest step in the state’s aggressive effort to reduce harmful pollutants and transition toward a carbon-free economy.

The new regulations by the California Air Resources Board require all newly sold small-motor equipment primarily used for landscaping to be zero-emission by the target dates, with some exceptions.
