What kind of douchebag do you have to be to behave like this?

How many languages do you speak perfectly?

OP's English is pretty damn good.

will depend more on whether Ryobi kills off the USB Lithium line like they did the Tek4 line.

This is where learning how to rebuild your own batteries cones in. Nearly all of them use multiple 18650 batteries, which cost about $2 each online.

I've rebuilt a few for my power tools. Larger ones cost about $10-$15 to rebuild. And newer batteries have greater capacity too.

Hahaha, so he does!

Please tell me you write opinion pieces for a living, and where I can find them.

Except decaffeinating coffee really messes it up.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to find manuals these days.

Manufacturers have taken to:

  1. Not printing them at all

  2. Hiding them behind paywalls with exorbitant prices

I've never met an engine that doesn't need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters.

Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range.

Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.

Very good point about Agile.

As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I'd love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

There are about 3 apps that I'm a beta tester for, so even I'm part of that early-adopter group.

Do I have to?

Exactly

But I'm not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

Notice what I said: "I've found". I didn't tell other people what would work for them.
