Look again! I have a dewalt chainsaw, and I love it. I burn about 13 cords of wood each winter as it is our primary heating source. It runs and runs and runs.

I think the key is to keep the chain sharp. I use the timberline sharpener, and it gets the chain razor sharp, which means less stress on the motor and longer battery life.

Ahhh, the trustworthy test. Sounds like the same type of test that Trump plans to use in his hiring process. Coincidence? I think not. All part of the fascist playbook.

Actually, a few mm/sec is quite a lot. That could easily be more than enough to deflect an asteroid from hitting earth. That few mm/sec will accumulate over the time it takes the asteroid to travel six million miles.

Interesting… if you listen to Republicans, the economy is tanking and making everything worse for everyone.

Right now I’m listening to Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny. It’s probably an interesting story, but the narrator is awful. Sometimes he reads without any pauses so it feels like you are listening to a wall of text. There is also very little inflection in his voice as he reads so it is hard to stay engaged. I’m going to stick with it if I can, but I’m not holding much hope.

I can still work while drinking coffee or tea. Smokers get to go outside and smoke for 10-15 minutes while NOT working and get paid for that time.

I know it’s not sci-fi, but I’m rewatching SOAP. This and WKRP are the near pinnacle of comedy tv.
