In my field of study this is known as the difference between a stack and a queue.

Darn and drat.

Border Collies are the most intelligent dogs in the world.
Regular Collies are at the other end of the spectrum.

We call that "special".

I'm gonna pee on that fire hydrant before @Strings does.

Ha. I swear, I'm listening to Zappa Don't eat the yellow snow as I read this.

Same-same. The wife could never get the hang of fucking with the strings, especially when they break off or the feeder(pos things) didn't feed. She loves it = less yardwork for me.

I have Stihl one with the strings which worked fine, better than the Ryobi I had before (also string), but I've since replaced the head and it's been sitting in the garage for a year unused because it fucking won't work. I gave up.

No string piques mah interest.

Ignore the guy above, his 095 string is no match for serrated blades .125 thick.

You wouldn't have to worry about any of that stuff if you could just manage to land a husband.

You mean small engines can be repaired?

That's news as fake as lawn mower blades that can be sharpened.

Honestly, taking it to a Mom & Pop style shop and being nice and polite would probably get her a quick tutorial on what was going wrong.

Yeah, I was just remembering @fly quoting either you or me talking about sharpening a mower blade with some amazement.

Probably me, back when we had articles. I got a shirt from that thread.

I need to look up how to sharpen the mulch blades on the Leakiy Tractor 6000-SUX

I imagine it's nothing special just because it's a "mulching" blade".

 

[Darth Handsome]

I cant sharpen things for shit. When Im done the fn blade is duller than when I started

We've seen this evidenced in your wit, fer sure.

Mulching blades mulch cause of that little weird hump in them. It causes a swirling effect. From what I remember, that's on the trailing edge of the blade, though so you should be able to sharpen the other side like a normal blade

Are mulch blades all that different? I just pulled the regular mower blade off, filed the crap out of it until it was kind of sharp (there's 0 need for razor sharp that will be gone after the first cutting), & put it back on. Yep, it wasn't a flawless balance. Yep I could replace the blade cheap when it was too far out of balance.
