Thanks.
My knee is actually worse than my head; and of course I have to traverse lots of stairs between work and home.

People chasing one fucking leaf with an entire fucking painblower. If you enjoy pain, great, just keep it to other people who enjoy pain and agree instead of inflicting the pain on everyone within a 200 meter radius.

I hate those things. It is possible to design them with decent noise suppression and electric motors (powered by whoeverâs property is being cleared). I think the ones used by landscape companies use two-cycle motors* that are notoriously noisy, and polluting as hell. You can smell the burning oil at 50 feet.
*Pls. correct me if Iâm wrong

I have an electric one. Maybe quieter than the landscaperâs jet-fueled turboblowers, but It is still not quiet. Very convenient though for a quick blow every now and then to clear the garage of all the leaves that manage to drift in there and accumulate. Raking out the garage was never easy.

I bet the air outlet could be made quieter with decent mechanical design, sort of like whatâs done with car mufflers. Computer simulations could be used to optimize for performance and sound levels. But the devices are so cheap i imagine itâs not worth it to manufacturers. Thatâs where regulation comes in.

I think current limits are 85 dB maximum and 70 dB average over 24 hours. Which puts the maximum below the average pain threshold, but thereâs a lot of variance.
Itâs like subsidizing high-fructose corn syrup because âonlyâ about 30% of the American public has a fructose intolerance, or pushing milk in the schools because âonlyâ about 20% of the American public has lactose intolerance and/or milk-protein allergy, and âonlyâ 20% will end up vomiting over tables or desks afterwards.
You ought to aim as close to 100% inclusion as you can, instead of settling for 70%.

Gee, I donât see the muffler. Must be tucked within the control/activation rod connected to the automatic grass-leaf differentiator and leaf-removal multi-claw sub-attachments.

They really grind my gears.
Every few years I have to deal with them and itâs always unpleasant.

A quick heads upâŚIâm moving today, and the internet/cable provider doesnât allow overlap. Iâm not sure how long before I come back. It depends on the technician schedule, which could be up to two weeks.

Good luck with the move.

Fingers crossed.
Also this grinds my gears:
I play a small selection of games on my phone to kill time when commuting.
One of them is Fruit Ninja, and itâs been having some technical difficulties lately to the point that my account data had to be reset.
When I complained to their customer service department that thereâs no way to backup a playerâs account except via fucking Facebook, the response I got advised me to use a fake email to create a fake FB account.

Iâm sure at this point most Facebook accounts are fake, or are otherwise one-and-dones.

One of those days when you wonder if you shouldâve just thrown those old sleeping bags away rather than having an appeasement party at the laundromat
maybe THIS detergent will work
