Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.

^^--Probably the undercard starts then? Which would be the only thing worth watching, I completely forgot Cotto is fighting and it's one of his last fights.

No. Undercard starts even earlier. 9PM EST for the main event.

Gritty, you had me questioning myself hah. Here is what I found...

Mayweather vs. McGregor viewing information
Date: Saturday, Aug. 26
Time: 6 p.m. ET (prelims) | 9 p.m. ET (main card)
Location: T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas

Usually they are later though so :shrug:

I was just going by when fights usually happen without looking anything up.

Although I'll note that if it actually does start at 9 eastern that means that's when they start the ring walks, which might be particularly time consuming and annoying tonight.

I'm hoping this turns out like the last Rousey fight and I can watch the whole thing in a 2:20 twitter video anyway

Yeah, I hear ya. I was surprised when I saw the times as well. You are right though, 9PM ring time means that they probably won't throw punches til at least 930.

I was going to link one of their commercials that uses ridiculously over the top sex appeal to sell mowers but somehow this one is better. It's a pump up video for a lawn mower that's just totally focused on the machine itself.

Yeah that's kind of how it is where we lived in the city proper, but we moved out a ways because we wanted more room and more house for way less $$$

But yeah my old hard battery mower was awesome when I had less grass.

It's utterly ridiculous. The only way owning a mower like that makes sense is if you own a landscaping company. And yet I've talked to actual people who want something like that if they save up enough money.

Our lawns are generally bigger around the midwest though. The only problem is you live in the midwest.

That is the most epic lawnmower commercial I've ever seen. My lot is like half an acre, so I think I'll be good with a nice gas powered mower.

I love my electric. It's amazing to never have to do maintenance, screw around with gas and oil and filters, but it's so narrow and the batteries simply do not last long enough for the new yard.

Also I would feel like a fat idiot if I had a riding mower.

When I was a kid we lived in a rental where the landlord left a commercial grade zero turn mower in our carport. It looked like it hadn't been used in years. My uncle lived up the street from us and he made it his mission to get it running again. After a day of work it started up and oh my god it was fast.

Seriously. You could lift the blade up and do donuts in the yard. I can't figure out why a mower would ever need to be that fast.

Florida is fun to look at too, you can see the same coastside mini-mansions that are like 10 million in the big areas for like a fifth of the price 10 miles down the coast.

Also one time I was bouncing back and forth between Alabama and Canada. How does a country with so much land and so little people cost so much to live in?

I grew up on a place with 5 acres of land, it wasn't until I turned 14 that my parents finally sprung for a riding lawnmower. It would normally take an hour and a half to mow our main lawn with a push mower. It got moved down to 15 minutes with the rider. And that's not counting the brush my parents made me mow.

Does that 90 minutes to do it by hand include emptying the grass bag, or did you leave it on the ground? Because I'm not ruling it out that me taking 90 minutes to mow my 0.5 acre lawn growing up was due to severe laziness, but still.
