@gcunit I think metal-bladed ones are referred to as brush cutters here as well, though those are consider more industrial/commercial applications and tend to require much more powerful motors. Except I think the blades themselves (that you can attach on any string trimmer with enough power), are the part we call brush cutters.
@Zuljaras - You should start a thread titled “Everything I do is so edgy and cool” and keep all your thoughts there.
@NEStalgia - I’d really like to go electric. I borrowed one this Spring to see if it could handle what grows in my yard, but it’s not meant to be. I have a lot of woody plants. I just need the extra kick a gas motor provides. But your description of two cycle motors and the gas cans that fill them is completely accurate. You just missed the part where the vibrations give you numb numb arms after 20 minutes.
@bimmy-lee Did you try the "consumer" grade battery powered ones (meh) or the good stuff? 36v & 40v stuff (Dewalt, Makita, Greenworks/Kobalt, etc?) That stuff is 1:1 comparable to gas. Expensive.....heavy....but dang that stuff has power.
To be fair I've gotten vibration-induced numbness from that stuff as well. It may not idle with vibration like gas, but in use, it's still poorly balanced rotating blades....
No promotion for me. It went to the managers favourite who barely works on the department and was put to the interview on that managers request. Ah well.
At least they worded it nicely. What they meant by continue learning was "You aint good enough and probably wont be". Should the opportunity come up again I probably wont go for it. Dont see much point.

@Knuckles-Fajita hang in there bud. I would think if you keep applying for newer , higher positions they'll see your dedicated and want to better yourself. Surely they should see that way at least. It goes a long way in my eyes if someone keeps at it.
@NintendoByNature Well it depends if a position opens. Odds of that now are very low. I knew going in I wouldnt get it, but wanted to see why they'd do that.
Plus, they know I'm dedicated and have a lot of the knowledge. The team already leans on me a lot. However, I question if its worth putting the effort in to support the two new managers I have. It's in their hands now, no longer do I need to concern myself with keeping things running.

@Zuljaras - I’d probably have the back of anyone in this thread, or anyone in real life for that matter, if someone suddenly swooped in and called them what you called Anti. That stuff doesn’t happen much in real life though, because consequences. It’s more of a chicken ish internet thing. After all, we can always delete our posts, pretend like it didn’t happen, and act like our offensive name calling “triggered” people instead of apologizing for being a rude ahole. At any rate, I think I’ve learned enough about you today to know I’m not interested in conversing with you.
I'm just glad it's Friday guys and gals. What a horrible work week. Working on this big project with a customer where everything seems to be going wrong. I can't wait til the end of the day
@Zuljaras thanks for the reminder. E3 starts tomorrow morning for me. I Should be able to stream everything on YouTube i assume. Even though there probabaly won't be any announcements of new dlc or games, I'll watch the smash, splatoon and mm2 tournaments.
