A quick search in the US of Lowe's website shows every gas blower they sell under $300 has a two-stroke engine.

B33rChiller posted:If the trend has continued from other smaller gasoline engines like motorcycles and outboard boat engines down to the really small sizes, I would suspect many of the gas powered tools are now 4-strokes. eta: much of this trend was initially started due to tightening restrictions on emissions. A 4 stroke is likely to put out less in the way of unburnt hydrocarbons. Lawnmowers are four stroke but basically all the other yard tools are still 2 stroke engines. e: 4 stroke leafblowers are actually way more expensive than 2 stroke ones, running hundreds of dollars for even the cheapest ones I can find.

FCKGW posted:Lane splitting is "technically" legal in California insofar that's it's not explicitly illegal. There's nothing on the books saying you can't lane split in CA but there's also nothing on the books that govern what constitutes "safe speeds" or when it's legal to split. And then there are the people that get pissed off about bike riders and will open their door on the highway to make them crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imsxRhbuwfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvxaLRnLFwA ded fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Nov 29, 2020 |

this guy was being an absolute dick though he doesn't deserve a car door, seems like he's lucky to be alive e: at one point he's lane splitting at almost 60mph between stopped cars and he's weaving in and out of lanes and between vehicles, ignoring lane change signaling, etc..

Apart from the whole "attempted murder/manslaughter" thing, wouldn't getting a biker to collide with your door you know, damage your door? So best case for dick driver is a dinged door and a pissed off biker. Worst case is a dead biker and a spell in prison, and a dinged door.

I just dislike motorcyclists for upping the probability that I will have to see a gruesome death at some point.. Already seen 2 dead motorcyclists - one his own fault, the other technically the car's fault but the bike was going too fast. Both were pretty gnarly. And I'm not an EMT or anything, they probably gotta see that every week at least!

If you've ever bicycled it's really funny the number of people who'll try to block you from passing while they sit in stationary traffic. At first I thought it was just a coincidence how people would start moving over to narrow the gap but now I'm convinced they're impatient weirdos who have some sort of bizarre queuing mindset and feel like if you get in front of them you're somehow being rude. It's insane

Maybe they're taking their cues from Lord of the Rings and are trying for a balrog to just settle this whole mess once and for all. edit: This is the volcano eruption from last year that ended up killing 22 people as tourist groups were still being taken to the island, even though the regulators had heightened warnings about three weeks earlier. https://twitter.com/sch/status/1203893996566634496?s=19 WorkSafe New Zealand charges 13 parties over White Island volcano eruption tragedy NZ law says they can't name who they are, but going by the quotes in the article, it's the tour operators. quote:WorkSafe NZ said in a statement that those charged could not be identified as they had the right to seek a suppression order on their names at their first court appearance on December 15. In the 36 hours after that happened, my old volcanology professor was on about eight different television channels, as he's basically the first result if you google "Australian volcanologist". Every time he said some variation of "it's my job to go to places like that, and I wouldn't have been there, no one should have been there".

So, uh, you're saying we should run over people on two wheels because it's a freebie? Look, I think the guy in the spandex Tour de France cosplay hanging around in the middle of the road at like 15 miles per hour during commuting hours is an rear end in a top hat as much as anybody does, but that's no reason to kill somebody! (People obviously do get charged for killing bicyclists and motorcyclists in the USA. To suggest that they never do is asinine.)

The cops probably won’t even charge them. yeah, the only way they don't chalk it up to "tragic accident" is if the murderer literally confesses to someone at the scene and said confession is recorded on a cell phone or dash cam. even then, it'd probably take the person recording literally forcing their hand with a "do your jobs or I give this to the victim's family and the media, see how that goes for you"

It just pops off like every 6-8 months, lasts for 6-10 pages per flareup, and is the same 10 people arguing past each other until someone else pokes their head in and goes "well imo it's everyone that's an rear end in a top hat in this vid/gif" and it sparks it off with a new round of players. It's tedious, accomplishes nothing to change driving/motorcycle/bicycling culture, and everyone hates most everything about it.
