Re: Arnold: GET TO THE CHOPPA! 40V 20" Twin Force Dual Blade Cordless Lawn Mower $260 shipped - 6 years ago

QuoteFilliam H. Muffman How well does it work bagging when cutting long wet grass? Does it cut all the way out to the wheels, like if you are cutting along a fence or the house foundation? I've seen a couple partial foot amputations from people who slipped on wet grass while mowing, so I avoid doing that. It does well bagging overall; the battery lasts longer than when mulching. I can do the

Re: Treadmill stress test - don't they just give you a heart attack and then back it off? - 6 years ago

It is rare to have a heart attack during an EKG treadmill stress test. The test is stopped if there is evidence that the heart is not getting enough oxygen. For information regarding the different types of sterss test, dad@home's post above is good.

Re: Arnold: GET TO THE CHOPPA! 40V 20" Twin Force Dual Blade Cordless Lawn Mower $260 shipped - 6 years ago

I have that mower. This will be the fifth summer I'll be using it. Nothing stops it (within reason) - I've even accidentally run over small branches with it with no problems. On one occasion, I hit a metal impact sprinkler - the sprinkler was totally destroyed, but the mower kept on going as though nothing had happened. I have a quarter-acre lawn. I needed to buy an additional high-capacit

Re: iPod Touch battery replacement - 6 years ago

I did it with third generation iPod Touch. It was a nightmare. I have had good experience with fixing TV's, VCR's, Macs, PC's, watches, refrigerators etc, but my attempt to change the battery resulted in two broken digitizers and a broken connector. I got fed up and left it for a few years. By the time I finally completed the repair, the replacement battery was shot. I'm not going through

Re: Worth it to add memory to 2010 iMac? - 6 years ago

I'd say it's worth the expense to upgrade it. I'm still using my late 2008 MacBook Pro for almost everything. For heavy duty photo-video work, I use a first-generation i7 PC built in 2009, with 18GB RAM and an SSD, and it's fast enough that I feel no desire to replace it. Upgrading to an SSD made a huge difference, upgrading from 6GB RAM made a bit of a difference.

Re: Talk to me about the health hazards of color laser copiers please... - 6 years ago

You can smell the ozone coming from a laser printer when it is printing. Ozone is not a healthy gas, as it produces free radicals of oxygen. Definitive research on safety may be lacking, but it makes sense not to sit right next to one in a business setting for 8 hours per day five days per week, if it is printing more than just occasionally.

Re: Russian government posts April Fools' Day prank offering "election interference" - 6 years ago

Quotebillb The whole world is laughing at America's liberals. The world saw the US elevate a TV celebrity to the highest office, a celebrity who pandered to the greedy, racist, and uneducated, who did not have the support of much of his own party, and above all who lost the popular vote by millions. I'm not at all convinced that the world is singling out the liberals to laugh at.
