Battery powered lawn mowers?
First time lawnowner here, bought the Greenworks 80V, brushless DC suite from Costco last summer: self-propelled mower (steel deck!), trimmer, edger, blower, 1x 4Ah battery, 3x 2Ah battery, supercharger, regular charger...something like $1k all-in. Clean, quiet, and easy, no real issues to speak of yet. Echo what everyone else here has said though..go with the max voltage lineup (and brushless DC motors if available) and maintain your schedule. Thick/wet grass will bog down the mower and kill your battery, especially if you bag and/or self-propel. The 4Ah battery is generally enough to mow my entire yard (0.3 acre, minus house), but I've had to swap in a backup once or twice. And like someone mentioned upthread, probably a good idea to store batteries inside.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
Anyone have recent, positive experience with a pool builder/remodeler in DFW? My dad wants to convert his hot tub into a lounge deck and re-plaster/tile the rest of the pool, but he’s had trouble getting callbacks for a quote. Hobert did the original install around 20 years ago, FWIW…

Tell me about Charleston
Babymoon next month, staying at the Renaissance Historic District for a quick weekend. Any updates on the restaurant recommendations in this thread? Trying to stay ahead of reservations since I'm sure everywhere will be crazy packed...

So we reinforced our player personnel department with someone who scouted players for *checks notes*...the Texans, Lions, fake UT, Cougar High, and a CFL team that just went 3-11. Awesome.

2022 Transfer Thread - It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Except "tampering" is defined by the NCAA as contact between coach/institution/booster(?) and player signed or enrolled elsewhere. All you need is a single degree of separation in the form of NIL sponsor, HS coach, uncle, etc. and you are 100% not in violation. It's a stupid distinction without a difference, but as mentioned upthread, the rules suck right now.

I was wondering where I left my mixtape..- Another Water Damage Thread
Yes.- Another Water Damage Thread
Bought flipped house last May, started noticing damp hardwood flooring in the master bedroom, localized behind the master bathroom shower wet wall...baseboard probably compromised as well, but drywall seems ok. Maybe a leaky pipe fitting from age or shoddy renovation, maybe drain seepage (had to call Roto-Rooter in October for a backup issue), maybe go fuck myself. I could possibly play dumb with insurance on the "reasonable diligence" piece, but I'm guessing the flooring damage has visibly progressed enough that they won't hear it..deductible might render it moot anyway. In any case, it's time to get moving on repair/restoration. Is it worth trying to file a claim? What's the rough out-of-pocket cost to identify/repair source, restore area, and replace 7ft of baseboard and ~20sf of hardwood floor?..I have plenty of spare flooring, if that helps. Anyone have a guy or Dalworth/Servpro-type recommendation in the Dallas/Lake Highlands area? TIA.- Boeing 737 carrying 132 passengers crashes in China
Though ironically, lack of communication (among the flight crew) was the primary factor that ultimately allowed that crash to occur.- TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Yes, I understand that deals can be found, but false/misleading advertising makes me surly...if the highest cost on your redemption table for a given region pair is X miles (and labeled anytime), then you shouldn't be quoting fares at 2-3x that amount. I'm just curious if this is the way they've always operated, or if it's a temporary strategy to discourage bookings that don't generate new revenue. Full disclosure: not a high mileage earner, honeymoon is the only trip I've ever booked on miles (DFW-MXP and ZRH-DFW, two J tickets for ~335k total).- TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Has AA always been shiesty with mileage redemption awards, or is this a "feature" of their post-COVID financial situation? Award chart says 135k for J/F US-Europe AAnytime Level 2, but a few random searches showed 400k. 1.6 MILLION miles roundtrip for my wife and I??..fuck that. And I know oneworld is the value play, but the LHR passenger duty can eat a dick.- 2022 Summer Season: Flavor-Aid (Strength: Prison Wine)
