spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]
for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear’s Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:
Alt Text of image
Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font
After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Trashpicked a lawn mower.
For a second I thought it was an electric lawn mower and was like “SWEET! I don’t have to pay for gas just to mow the yard!”
Sadly no.
Getting it running was the quick bit. Everything else except the engine is heavily warn out, especially the self propel which just… Doesn’t work. It occasionally lurches forward but that’s it. Probably a dead transmission, but honestly? Don’t care enough to fix that lol. It’s not heavy.
Did take needle nose plies towards the governor. Tweaked on it so now the thing runs slower and thus consumes less fuel. Still cuts grass fine, and it’s a decent bit quieter now, so that’s nice!
