I guess that pic of my new AR15 wont show up.

Too big of a file or too stupid.

No, it’s on here.  The reason there have been no comments is because no one cares.

How long does the battery last in one of these.

My only reservation about electric mowers is the lack of torque.  Has that been a problem for your?

Depends on the length of the grass.  If I let the grass get too long I slow the self propel speed down or set the height higher.  There is an auto control on that controls the blade speed in order to conserve the battery.  I get my lawn done easily on 1 full charged battery there is storage on the mower for a spare so you can have two fully charged batteries.  It really comes down to the size of your yard and mowing habits.

Just mowed for the first time with the new Ryobi. Pretty slick. The yard looks great and it only used 1/4 of the battery. I even mowed my neighbors front yard. I mowed on the top setting and while it cut well, it didn't sound like it was spinning too fast. When I dropped it down a couple levels on the front and hit thicker grass it automatically added more power and cut through it like a champ.

It's also ridiculously light. I didn't get self-propelled for $100 more. It would have been a total waste on our yard. Maybe on a bigger yard it would be worth it. It's like pushing around a kids bubble mower, but it could cut your hand off.

So the government took a cut of your wages you used to buy the mower.  Then you give them another cut to buy the mower to mow the grass on the land you give them yet another cut to own.

Got the Ryobi battery string trimmer last year, the one with the higher power.  Really like it, will be getting the matching edger and blower next. 

Saw my first batter zero-turn mower this week, a 42" by Greenworks.  $5K.   Anybody with info on power or longevity of the electric ZT's?    

Just Airtagged all the things. Works so well, I should have done this a while ago.

46 inch roku tv so I can watch the Reds suck BUT in the comfort of my back patio

I just ordered a Framework laptop.  It's a very user upgradeable/repairable ultraportable.

But buying my own ram and ssd for it should come in about $600-$700 cheaper than comparable options from Dell/Lenovo/Apple.  Plus 4 ports you can configure however you want.  Hardware switches for the camera and microphone is a bonus that few other laptops have.

Had a really tough time finding a laptop that checked all the boxes for me, outside of a Lenovo for like $2500.  Depending on what I do for Windows, I'll be in this for about $1400-$1600

In case anyone missed it, Amazon Prime members can get a free 1-yr membership to Grubhub (which includes Seamless, I believe) for free delivery.

Spent $60 (yes $60) on an original metal handle for a Gillette Sensor Excel.  They haven't made Sensor Excel handles for several years and the ones they made for their last 15-20 years of production were lightweight plastic ones that suck.  I bought a metal one in the early 90s and had it until 3 weeks ago when I left it in a hotel room.  So that is why I forked over 60 bucks for a friggin' razor.  If I can keep it another 30 years, that's all I'll need as someone else will then have to shave me (ala Biden).

85" Samsung QLED, so I can finally replace the last LG item in my house. Never buying anything form LG ever again. 

Is there anything worth a fuck on prime day? i looked but didn't find anything at all.

There are probably good deals to be had, but it's not worth the time trying to find them unless you want a specific Amazon device.

I jumped on the electric mower bandwagon.
