    Best find an honorable small engine repair chap and buy an older reconditioned pro saw.

    Depends where you want to live and what kind of work you do as well. Can buy a house in Italy in the sticks for a couple of grand. (relevant before Brexit, obviously). Actually earning a living there is a whole nother story though. All fine and good for successful YouTubers and suchlike... You could get a whole working farm in Poland for ten grand a few years ago. Beautiful fertile soil. Could go self sufficient, as people had done for countless generations.

    This debate comes up in America all the time, and the results are known. Jacking up minimum wage only benefits the bottom tier in the very short term, as the wider economy repositions quickly to cancel out the increased wage. Employers can't afford the increased wage burden, so they sack the least productive workers. This puts more pressure on the productive ones who end up working harder to take up the slack. The sacked workers draw Dole which increases the tax burden which in turn is shouldered by the economy, further straining the employers by way of their customers having less disposable income...the landlord class cotton on to the increased spending power of the workers and raise the rent. The end result is you've removed some half-way productive people from the labor force and everyone is worse off...

    I bought it from a retired Rebel Alliance X-Wing pilot... Compared to my trusty old Husqvarna helmet. The X-Wing has better visability, better hearing protection, fit is comparable. It's early days, time will tell.... Visor doesn't fog up, but it's been warm weather thus far.
  7. Haironyourchest
    Yeah, mine did this. The pivot point retention is wearing out. Solution: new ear defenders. They come with the universal helmet clips and everything. Might as well get the chipper ones while your at it.

    The way the federal government report terrorism incidents in the US is biased. A "Trump Won" bumber sticker is considered a terrorist act these days. Same with "Mass Shootings". Every gang banger shootout in the Chicago projects where three or more people are involved is recorded as a mass shooting. It's all designed to bump up the numbers to scare the sheep.

    Treehogs are ok once they're modified. Gotta stiffen up the cuffs with plastic inserts.

    I got a one, think it's called a tornado. €80. Like it. Be careful with Chinaman's hat cowls. I did one chimney where I was meeting resistance and thought the brush was stuck in a bend. Turns out it was hitting the cowl. Forced it and could feel the rods winding up, then the head popped out between the cowl and the fluepipe (as we discovered later), and sheared the head off. Cowl was undamaged.

    Oh yeah, loads. His most painful one was a giant centipede.

    This chap has been stung and bitten by everything. Japanese giant hornet = Asian hornet, just different colour.

    Finished the paint job.
  14. Haironyourchest
    Finished the fabrication, built three modular attachments for the pushing end, and a footstand, bought a 500kg lever hoist for it, cleaned and undercoat with Galvafroid. Now I'm thinking about colour schemes... Thinking maybe a maybe a white/orange Stihl rip-off, with black accents. Or keep it simple and go all dayglow yellow?

    Please think up a caption for this image. Let's meme.

    Yo, what's the difference between tapping the pin and replacing the whole stock oiler pump with the high-output pump? Does pinning a normal pump make it the same as a high output pump, or will it exceed the high output pump? Or is it still not as good as a high output pump? Does the high-output have a pin too? Can you turn the high output punp into a super ultra high output? Anyone know?

    A pal told me about the Invisible methanol flame... He was building factories in Saudi, and some of the lads built a still to make fuel for their dirt bikes (ironically, no spare petrol available at the compound, for some reason). They fermented dates, IIRC. First thing the guy knew about it was his leather jacket crisping up.

    PM sent. Don't read it before bedtime, too scary.

    In a perfect world... I stand by desensitization. There are two types of desensitized dog owners. 1. Those who were raised from birth around dogs. These folks inherit the desensitization of their parents. Further, they associate the smell (subconscious, as they don't actually register it anymore) and the feel of squishing underfoot, with happy childhoods. 2. Those who aquired dogs later in life. They started out with good intentions, picking up etc, but soon tired of the ordeal and lapsed into apathy and desensitization, much like people in a warzone or an abusive relationship. Then there are the scumbags, who exist, but are the minority.

    How do the Brazilians manage with 100% ethanol fuel? I tried googling this and can't find anything.
  21. Haironyourchest
    Well, maybe you're the exception then. All the dog owners I know are desensitized, and not scumbags. Their own properties are beshitted past redemption and they just don't care. I believe they develope a highly efficient sixth sense for avoiding the feces of their own animals....I remember a few days in Granada, some years ago. The old city was all roundy cobblestone, and the feces collected and impacted between the cobbles, forming a kind of substrate to the street surface. Probably centuries worth of deposits. Horrific.

    Dog owners are desensitized to feces.

    He wasn't cut out for fame. Too much pressure.
  24. Haironyourchest
    Anyone know how good or bad the alleged built-in fuel stabilizer in Stihl HP oil is?
  25. Haironyourchest
    I'm sure I saw proper mini ascetalene ones as well.
