It looks cool, but that is a horrible handle. You want it to be wood or plastic so it dampens vibrations as much as it can, and smooth so one hand can slide down the handle from near the head to your other hand at the end as you swing. A couple minutes breaking up concrete with that and your hands would be numb, tingly, and probably bloody. Gloves would help, but using this will always suck.

Yeah, that’s nuts. Most of my waking hours involve using the internet in some form, but for $5.8m I’d give up using it personally without hesitation.

I read that as Weird AL, and was pleased and interested. Then I realized. Now I am not pleased or interested at all.

They can’t reproduce, should be fine.

Yeah, I have Libreoffice, I like the word processor and spreadsheet program, but wasn’t quite as happy with its handing of PDFs. That could definitely be user error/ignorance though.

I started freelancing on the side recently, needed a PDF editor, Acrobat was cheaper than Bluebeam, so I thought I’d give it a try after not using it for years. It sucked. On top of being inferior in every use case it was infuriating to even have installed. It said it was opting me in for usage data collection but I could opt out in account management, I never found that option. And it had a dozen and a half background processes running on startup that would restart after being killed in task manager. Had to make a little batch file to kill them all at once. Adobe, the software and the company, is cancer. On purpose. Being mean to Adobe online is absolutely justified.

7km upgrades this to a Demand path.

Metric measuring systems are superior in almost every use case, with the exception, I think, of how temperature feels to us. As arbitrary as Fahrenheit seems, it does seem like a more natural scale to talk about the weather or body temp. The smaller units are nice for these purposes too. 0 being very cold and 100 being very hot feels less arbitrary than -18 and 38, even if celcius is more logical and easier to use for many other things.

I’d say anyone choosing to drive 74mph in a 25mph zone can be said to have disregarded safety. And if you haven’t realized you are going 74mph in a 25mph zone, you shouldn’t have a license, let alone be an officer.
