Complexity, or lack thereof.

Honestly, I’d prefer tall grass, but the problem is tall grass keeps critters around and even worse are the invasive plants that would flourish if I wasn’t cutting the grass and pulling them now that they are visible.

The number operating the train likely isn’t going to change. The number needed to inspect the cars in the yard and fix what’s needed is a bigger issue. The management attitude of “if it rolled into the yard, it can roll right back out” is a factor in many of these derailments.

Get a new goat every spring and have a cookout in the fall.

If Kinja never fully dies, will it never be in the museum failure? 

The Red Bull-Honda team is going to have a big whinge...

Not on the top list, but it’s in the graphic. I don’t know that Coke II was an actual failure as much as many think. Coke was removed from the market, Coke II promoted as the new Coke, Coke classic returned to the shelves after angry demands, and Coke II phased out over years. What many don’t realize is that the Coke…

Our yard guy has a couple of helpers and there are four houses in a row that they service.  They’re basically an assembly line and can get through all four in about 30 minutes.  It’s quite the operation.  I feel lazy not cutting my own grass but they cut, edge, blow and bag which would take me about two hours.  

My parents gave me their old Echo backpack blower last year and it will cut my yard cleanup time by probably 80% this fall if not more compared to my regular handheld Echo. So not sure what that saves emissions wise. I have a lot of electric tools where I can but I need the runtime and power of gas for my yard. Would…

Backpack two-stroke leaf blowers are the worst. Not only are they fucking obnoxious to listen to, they are extremely dirty. How about just picking up a damn rake, broom or electric blower?

If I didn’t mow all May, the grass would be so long by June that it would be impossible to mow

My mower’s got a Honda engine. I’ll replace it with an electric one when it dies, which will be sometime in 3075.

So we are about three weeks from reading a headline about a homeowner who was “coal-rolling” with his lawn tractor and shot his complaining neighbor with an AR.

My grass is thick AF. If I waited a month to mow, I’d need to brush hog it.

So how are all of those government building’s landscaping so well manicured? 

If only the options for a fun hatchback weren't so limited, and a fun wagon not a unicorn

I remember not so long ago that young men, seeking the favors of young women, would drive sexy two door cars to project an image.  Now they want to drive the box the sexy car came in.  I don’t get it.  

A CUV is a shittier version of a wagon. Taller, worse mpgs, can hold less stuff, etc. I get that wagons aren’t in fashion anymore, but they’re measurably better at most things than a CUV is. Every soccer mom driving around in an empty Escalade/Suburban/X7/Yukon/Grand Wagoneer really just needs a wagon.

I’m kind of inclined to believe that this has less to do with people having some kind of epiphany and more to do with people wanting a new vehicle immediately and just taking whatever’s sitting in inventory, which is generally sedans/hatchbacks.
