Most of the emulators get the sounds wrong. I still have my original 2600 and a TV to run it on. Someday it'll make it back out of storage.

Get rid of stops for small shit like expired tabs or dim taillights so traffic cops can focus on unsafe driving. John Oliver did a pretty good piece on this recently.

No, "86 the chef special" means 'kitchen is out of chef special.

Yes, your task is to remove it from the menu.

But you aren't 86ing it.

You're marking it as 86'd because the quantity is below minimum threshold (usually zero).

Same meaning in my experience. The patron is kicked out. 86'd is the past tense. 'they have been 86’d'

You no longer have any of that product, ingredient, or in this case customer.

It looks like a piece of EGO brand lawn equipment (which I also like the look of).

It fascinates us as well. The diversity is pretty insane when you stop to think about it. And every different place has their own things that everyone else thinks is strange.

Gatekeeping?

Man I'm just here providing some insight to a culture that other people aren't exposed to on a daily basis. I literally get paid to get people excited about mowers. You're the one rolling up being a dick for no reason.

All of the products exist for reasons. Features have reasons. If everyone just sat on their mower and went full send then there wouldn't be multiple speed settings in the first place.

If you wanna vanilla out the experience for yourself, you should very much do as you please. But don't try to play off that any of my information was incorrect just because your mowing is basic.

If you think mowing is just riding on the mower then you probably haven't had to tend property that many of these mowers were designed for. You also have to deal with a trailer full of cuttings, and run a string trimmer.

Considering I sell hundreds of mowers a year, rebuild and repair them, and sell the accessories.... I can say that I talk to many people who would agree with everything I said.

Sure, some of my customers are like you. They don't care what their property looks like. They do the bare minimum to keep from getting fines from the city. But that's not the culture where I'm at.

And I can tell you either don't mow much or your lawn looks like shit.

Gotta thatch once spring rains stop, special blade. In the height of summer when the grass is growing inches every week, you need a high lift blade so you can attach a bagger. Fall brings & early spring brings on a mulching blade.

If you don't sharpen your blade you get jagged brown tops and your blade isn't staying sharp all season long.

Maybe get some real life experience before commenting.
