Only one EV charger at home?!

Doesn't that increase danger? No vent, the gas glugs as it comes out and spills on the floor.

Any gun can kill a person, why allow some and not others? Either ban them all or allow them all.

And you should definitely allow the cop killer bullets!

As a manufacturer, I would simply refuse to sell them to the places with the stupid laws.

I taped one of the levers on my hedge trimmer. Now I can use it one handed and reach further.

Inconvenience is as important as treehugging.

It's yard. Merkins can't understand grass/lawn/garden.

I think I was 11 when I took shop class in grade school with table saws, band saws, and drill presses. What was I supposed to take? Home economics where the girls learned how to make small stuffed animals? A power sewing machine could be just as dangerous.

Even of a three year old.

You RW wackos can't get anything right.

Or the annual Bay to Breakers race. Or the Doo-Dah parade.

For every nude body you want to see there are 10 you can't unsee. No thanks.

What's wrong with society? ONE person does something stupid, so they assume the other 8 billion will do the same?! When I was a kid, they removed the tall slide from the park because a kid was so stupid he climbed over the tall (for kids) railing at the top and fell off and died of a broken neck. So they removed it to allow other idiots to stay among us. At least they never took any action when some asthma weakling drowned under an upturned sailing boat. I don't think they could think of a way round it, apart from closing the whole sailing centre down, which thankfully they didn't.

Mowery :-)

Why would you need it unseated if you're mowing an acre?

What on earth makes you think keeping the stupid alive is a good thing? Have you factored in the cost for all this softy? Extra money to make the softy features, time taken by everyone to follow the namby pamby rules? Think how far the world could have come with everyone having twice the money and twice the time.

It's health and softy. Because only pansies need or want it.

I don't even know what OSHA is. In manuals I skip to the part where it actually gives you information on how to use/assemble it.

I avoided all health and softy training courses at work and just got on with things. I was constantly praised for completing things others fannied about with filling in forms for days.

Gotta love the early American seatbelts which strangled folk.

Why on earth would you now want it to mow in reverse? It would make mowing take so much longer.

And why do you say "backing up"? That's when you make a copy of files on your computer. There's no up involved, you're moving the mower horizontally.

I take it you meant "rather it WASN'T running". If you're nowhere near it, who cares?

I fell off a slide like that when I was a kid and messed my shoulder up. It wasn't removed until much later when the playground was renovated. I had a little help from a classmate who wanted to get one last run in before recess ended and thought I was moving too slow. That was chalked up as 's*it happens'.

I'll admit I avoided slides after that incident.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration -- a make work project for government drones.

The engine of the riding mower will stop if you go in reverse. Many times I want to go in reverse for a few feet to get around or up close to an item in the yard such as a tree or bush. In the US we back up our riding mowers and cars. I think you know what we are saying just like the 'jumpers' a post or two up from here. Not an artical of clothing but a short wire that bypasses the switch or goes from one electrical terminal to another.

I see no point in stopping the blades (assuming that's what you meant, I doubt the engine stops) when you reverse. Running the blades when going over already cut grass just does nothing.

And a yard is made of concrete, you mean lawn.

But you have the word reverse, so why not use it?

I only call those jumpers when they plug in, like on a computer motherboard. IF you've soldered it across or added a wire, it's not really a jumper. Jumpers can be removed at will.
