Mine is a Husky brand, probably 22 years old now, I think 26 gallon. I use the hell out of it, but it is loud and doesn't have a lot of capacity. When we move, I'll probably sell this one and get a larger capacity oiled one that calls for 240V. If you use it a lot, I'd lean toward the quietest...

I understood about 4 words you said. Odd that I can post and even reply, because I'm doing it here. But on free parking, there is some other condition in play. I mentioned the content itself disallowed the reply until I cleaned certain parts, so I still have to wonder if some combination of geo...

Yes, see image above. I don't believe you can even see the free parking link, let alone post in it.

It appears that what's happening is that traffic is actually coming from Rochester, but Microsoft's geo IP database thinks my IP address is physically located in CA. So any service that asks for the location of an IP address may be getting inaccurate information.

Weird. I am on my local ISP, so they may be routing me somewhere else for some reason, maybe an outage or a load balancing reason. Right now it is saying I am "in" CA, so that's where my requests look like they're coming from right now.

AHA. There seems to be some AI that is interpreting my post as spam. If I post the text, it gets bounced. Here is an image of the text It looks like something in the second block is tripping it.

me about , which allows you to bulk export all your : photos, calendar, email...everything. After it is done collecting what you told it to gather, you'll get an email with a link that takes you to a page with download links for the zip file bundles, which you can then download and do whatever...

When I try to create a new post in Free Parking: Console: Rebooted, cleared cookies, etc. Is there some sort of text detection that thinks this is a commercial post?

Actually, the problem still exists. I can post here but not in free parking.

Not running any ad blockers, but I keep getting an error trying to post in Free Parking. Browser console: As far as I know, I'm not "banned" or otherwise restricted. No messages in my inbox. Rebooted machine, cleared cookies, and everything.

Testing

At a major company here in Rochester back in the 80s, we had a small bottle of 1-1-1 trichloroethane we used for cleaning those orange extension cords. I also recall another product with xylene that we used as well, maybe they were mixed? Dump some on a rag, then pull the dingy cord through the...

Thanks. Part of the need for a lightweight mower is because I have to carry it across a small creek to mow the other side. I think 40V will be enough for my needs. The simpler the better.

I'm in the market for a small push (not self propelled) lightweight battery mower, for a lot that is maybe 1/10 acre. I'm looking for something in the $300 range that will last at least 10 years. No bagger needed, but mulching is a big plus. Lightweight is nice for DW getting it in and out of...

There are some evaluations that would be more difficult: Does the drill bit rust after a year of being in a toolbox in a northeast garage? How many lumens and hours of use will the flashlight provide after being in a drawer for 6 months? Does the tape measure bind of over time when being knocked...
