Lots of insects and small animals eat mosquitoes and their larva. This won’t end well.
I’m an old curmudgeon and don’t make changes lightly.

While I don’t have a problem with gas mowers and know that’s the best option in many applications, I made the switch fo electric for my mid-sized suburban yard.

Now, it’s my first one so I’m still waiting to see how it holds up over time, but it’s been good so far.

I had a small adjustment period for the first cut. But the power is not at all a problem and the battery holds up fine for the entire job, with 1/3 to 1/2 capacity to spare.

I like that its quieter and makes me feel less guilty about cutting early for the neighbors. Also I can better hear my music in my ear buds while cutting.

So far, there’s less maintenance that the gas mowers, especially if you include filling the gas can.

I made the decision based on pros and cons, and so far I’m more than satisfied.

As a former federal employee, I’m surprised and confused by this stat.

My HR department collected taxes out of my paycheck just like every other employer, and if I failed to file, I got letters from the IRS just like everybody else.

I suspect this reflects some statistical tomfoolery.

Fair point and I agree

So much for living in a nation where people are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, huh?
To the extent that this goal was achieved, it wasn’t white conservatives who regressed, it was radical liberal blacks and whites who ruined it. That’s why the pattern of DEI hires produces unqualified people who by definition are ideologically possessed and incapable of being objective in fields like journalism.

That’s why the jump from “unqualified black” to simply just “black” is so easily yet erroneously made. There ARE very few if any conservative blacks or objective, non-radical blacks in a DEI controlled media. They can’t get hired.
Interesting. I took my kid to indoor shrimping practice and on the way home chatted with my neighbor who was out walking his pet possum.

Ah, life on the bayou. Sure is sweet.

They just keep going with the DEI hires...


It’s not just the DEI hires, it’s the carefully curated content and the slant on every news story.

It’s also a not so subtle switch in journalistic philosophy. They continuously comment on the news as they report it. It’s done in the words and tone used, the head shakes and eye rolls, as well as straight commentary.

This is not just an opinion of mine, this is absolutely taught methodology in so-called journalism schools.

Stop the clown show bs. The killer was a male. He’s a him, and he killed HIS parents.

ETA: As pointed out below by my fellow TD brethren, I got it backwards. BUT, I only take partial blame! I fell victim to the intentional confusion created by the “problematizing” LGBTLMNOP mafia.

I bet you had to explain things to her in great detail about why you were a different type of dad.

Riveting and totally enlightening. Will read again and again.
One wealthy father has a drug addict thug for a son who just got out of jail. He gives his son $100,000 and tells him to go forth and promise to be good.

Another wealthy father has a similar son who gets out of jail. He gives him a set of requirements to meet and if he does, and stays out of trouble, he will give him up to $100,000 in stages as he meets those requirements. If the son fails, the dad promises to send him back to jail.

That’s what I would call a tactical knife.
So you’re ok with the man damaging the reflecting pool in our nation’s monument area, just to spite Trump?

Yep, you’re a leftist.
