  1. There's got to be something wrong with it up the business chain because the saws are great. Remember when the car makers were worried about microchip supplies?
  2. Last one before this thread can get back to the usual business of being a sewer. Slightly vacuous interview but lovely jam at the end. Arturia analog synths are cheap and fabulous btw. I had a Microbrute that I sold to the synth player in my band. She then fcked off to Edinburgh and refused to sell it back to me. Last time I asked her about it, her girlfriend (black, lesbian, black lesbian) was wanting to learn something so they could play together. I very, very much want them to move to a nice little village and strike fear into the hearts of near neighbours and the parish council when they see the mixed race dyke couple move a drum kit into Honeysuckle Cottage.
  3. I'm on a bit of an electronic thing atm (more dnb). Some guy on facebook hooked me with some really tasty live drums.
  4. And if you liked that, you might like this:
  5. He would do, square.
  6. Presumably a 500i has a map for different injection timing depending on revs, load etc too.
  7. Well why didn't they just jam 80cc into a 461 chassis and carb it with all the carbs they already had? Marketing alone, injection is a good idea. I'd be more likely to buy an injected saw over a carbed one having used the 500i. Imagine an injected 45cc saw packaged as a 200.
  8. And look what that bunch of druggy wasters achieved.
  9. How did you try to lift it? With a/the rope and pulley up the tree (can't see from video if you crotched it or used a pulley/ring/biner)? Or just by hand on the ground?
  10. Progress happens in steps. Otherwise we'd still be using flint axes. Must be a wider business decision. Moving people towards battery maybe.
  11. Yep. Had mine since June 2020. Still in great nick. I'm a pretty light user though.
  12. My point is more that Stihl has had the computer and injector working for six years. Why haven't they put it on other saws? They must have tried!
  13. The people who couldn't book online died?
  14. Yep. Really happy with it.
  15. What would you call the basics?
  16. Half. I’m being half cryptic but I’m also pointing out there’s bias in language used to describe this kind of thing. The passive tense is commonly used as propaganda by a wannabe truth-definer. Say the guy doing the stabbing was right to do so. You wouldn’t call him dangerous. You’d say he was stabbing someone. Ruminate on it. View all news through that lens.
  17. And don’t fcking die.
  18. To whom? You wouldn’t call a fireman dangerous to fire. There’s an amount of bias in language.
  19. It’s probably written on the gear. Or at least on the advert. Learn what minimum breaking strength/load and safe working load or working load limit mean.
  20. Speak in the active voice. Who shot who? Who was dangerous to who?
  21. Then err on the side of caution. If you think it's 40kg, pretend it's 200kg. 40x11 (for a worst case, dead stop - like a fall factor 2 in rock climbing parlance) is a lot of force. And get your wraps right so you don't pinch. Every rig is a job interview. For natural crotch, get some 3 strand. 16mm Marlow is cheap and good. I've not used it but polysteel from ebay looks fine. Your anchor is weak too. One pulley on side scaffold is a big lever. You want two, ideally perfectly angle-split but if you need to reach the other stem so be it, pull it together. Flick the V fingers like Churchill (Prime Minister, not dog). You'd rather have them pushed together than pulled apart. Don't fcking die.
  22. I used to go there. Did they have the floating platform there in your day?
  23. Tell us, grandad!
