Bullets fired at UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had words written on them, officials say WWW.CBSNEWS.COM "Deny," "defend" and "depose" were written on shell casings recovered at the scene of the shooting that killed...

Anyone stripped and replaced the motor on a stihl Msa 200

Jesus, how long was their extension cable?! -
Of course the whole thing is a fake, they filmed it all on a soundstage on Mars.

Mine is second hand, I'm not exactly precious about it, and it's still holding together just fine! I have heard, from other people, that the toeless tensioner is a little bit better than similar Stihls, but I wouldn't be able to compare them I'm afraid. And for the record, I find the Stihl vs. Husky superiority battle tedious and unnecessary. Just something I've heard.

345, not pictured: 372.

Much tidier than my day. 40-odd ash either pushed into the field and gently snipped to 3 ton digger sized pieces; or dropped onto the road, snipper, then smashed back through the hedge with said digger. Same thing tomorrow. Rain all day today, vertical. Worse rain tomorrow, horizontal, with orange weather warnings in place for Storm Darragh. Might bring a spare pair gloves.

Ah, the poor wee thing. The dog, not Kevin.

How many cyclists with dynamos on a stationary bike to get 7.5kw?

There's another thread somewhere asking about replacing the motor in a 200. Could the 220 motor fit into the 200 chassis I wonder? Mine is fine for now, something to think about in the future though. Edit: regarding heated batteries needing to cool down to charge... I suppose that's why God invented tea breaks!

I just ask for sn extension cable to be available if I know I'll be burning through both my batteries. By the time ggst happens though, I've generally switched to the bigger saw. If anyone knows off the top of their head what the difference in spec between the 200 and 220 is, I'd love to hear it. Are we absolutely certain it isn't just a bigger sprocket and bar?
-
I mean, if there's enough interest I could probably come up with an actual factual prize? Up until now it was just a healthy dollop of the respect and admiration of your peers.

Not played with a 300, and don't know exactly what you mean by "heavy-duty arb work", but you'd likely be disappointed with both options if you mean genuinely heavy duty. That said, I love my 200, it does exactly what I ask of it, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. But yeah...clarification needed as to what you define as heavy duty!
-
Send me a stamped addressed envelope and I'll post it all to you, that's 300-800 quid easy made for you! What's your guess?
-
Interesting, thanks. I'll write your entry down in the book. You're the defacto winner so far.
-
This is just something we are all going to have to try and move on from. My door is open if anyone needs to talk about it. Thoughts and prayers, everyone. 🙏

What's popping dudes, anyone want to guess what volume of chip from these sycamores? Not whole tree, separating out the firewood but not being silly fussy about it. About 4 or 5m³, I'd have thought? Not even that? Prize for whoever gets the closest. Also, anyone know where I can sell 4 or 5 cubes of jigsaw puzzle cord wood?
-
That's all well and good, but what if the tree is further away than my extension cable will reach?

My folks are into their third decade of rescue hens, you see some sorry looking birds coming out of those sheds. I appreciate the reasoning behind it, and it's great that the birds involved get a second chance of life, but I can't do it. I feel as though it legitimises the industry to an extent... give us 12 months of hard labour, and then you can go free!

Egg yolks are the perfect source of energy and nutrients for chickens... it's literally what they are designed to do, it's just that the usual intended recipient is still inside the shell with the yolk. Add a bit of crushed shell for calcium and some oats for calories and roughage, and you've got a poultry superfood. A mother hen sitting on a clutch of eggs for 3 weeks, then however long it takes before she can safely go and forage with her babies, will happily eat any eggs or chicks she considers non-viable if she gets hungry enough. For the greater good!

Good boiling bird, regardless off the age. Best chicken soup is from an old hen.
-
Scrambled egg, added crushed shell optional, added oatmeal optional, is what I feed chickens that need TLC. Expectant mothers, generally, not sick chickens. My sick chickens generally get told to buck up or bok off.

I enjoyed mine today, certainly. Hire machine, but brand new teeth in it... worked like a dream today. Three days knocking down an overgrown hedgerow, holly and hazel and hawthorn, separating the timber and making sure the rest is all stacked neatly... then chewing through the pile from one end to the other, the machine didn't stop all day.
-
Yeah, a hammer or a round plate, that'd be ideal. They recommend their own specific 11mm line for it, but it looks like you could squeeze another few mm into it, it looks pretty spacious. 600g.

Well that looks pretty effective. I like the bight feeding solution, but I feel the tooth at the top could be a bit more pronounced...
