Bet it's not a gambling licence though, and not under the same restrictions.

People who are excited about these ideas are prone to be communist enjoyers. Which in practice is a braindead path, as demonstrated by countless examples.

I didn't have a routine/discipline to organize myself to do something meaningful, so it was pursuing hobbies with minimal effort. Afyer a while all the things I enjoyed, because they would help me relax after work felt pointless and I went trough a short depression caused by a breakup which made the meaningless part feel even more real.

Also when you have free time, you burn trough the cash reserves so quickly because of so many thing you can do with money.

I thought that when I'll be older I'll drink more and be happy all the time, but if you are not stressed by anything and in a sad place, alcohol doesn't feel good, just pointless.

Which electric chainsaw did you use?

I haven't used one, but I saw a youtube review from Project Farm. You can check it yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FM_08066I

The DeWalt chainsaw was similar or better than Stihl, in a different series of tests, including cutting trough 10 inch logs.

There were other brands which would stall or be worse, so it depends on the brand.

For tools electric is the answer. To take a chainsaw, the battery needs to be replaced just as often as with refilling the fuel tank. And with newer batteries you might recharge the depleted one as fast as discharging a fresh one. Not sure, just an assumption.

The future for tools is electric 100%.

Yeah I hate spam so much, hope everyone here reports them as spam to give them a lesson to not pretend to be the good guys when they are spammers.

Hey fontawesome and any other company that sends bullshit spam, nobody cares about whatever thing you want to spam, you're just poisoning the well for others.

Not having a PR mask is because he doesn't care about cancel culture. I like that.

Cancel culture needs to stop, we are not a hive mind, everyone has different opinions.

Happy with it but note that I dont have carpets, I guess for carpets you need something with more features.

A minor fender-bender is not a crash

4x worse than humans is misleading, I bet it's better than humans, by a good margin.

And the 50% of banking apps still wont work because it wants an android signed by google.

And no tap to pay.

Hopefully the new EU banking system will work on Graphene and Ill switch back

Not even that. Most banking apps have a requirement that android is "certified" by google, ex. They won't run on GrapheneOS
