I also have one, it's called a rake.

Many people have an even quieter one, no yard, what's your point? What's so important about this statement that you had to be the 3rd one to make it?

  If three people make this, then it should say something about a.) leaf blowers and how they are liked by bystanders b.) that this might be solving the wrong problem. "you had to be the 3rd one to make it?" With people making a personal attack out of everything, I wonder: Does this make you happy? How are those people in real life? Can't they discuss things without getting personal? (Oh and I see the irony of my comment, but I do consider this a meta-discussion) PS: No I don't read every one out of 180 comments before I comment myself. Chapeau if you do!

    > With people making a personal attack out of everything, Just because you feel attacked doesn't mean you were attacked. Nothing bad happened to you, other than being asked a simple question. > PS: No I don't read everyone of 180 comments before I comment myself. In this case 0 were read in order to rush and make a low effort joke because there were two rake comments above the fold and nowhere near 180 total when you wrote it. There's no need to lie here, you gain nothing from it.

      "In this case 0 were read in order to rush and make a low effort joke" You should work for the NSA or the three later agency of your country, you can spot what people do possibly thousands of kilometers away! There was this one Columbo episode, one of my favorites, where the NSA wanted to hire such a guy. Sadly it was all fake. So the cynical side of me assumes you also can't spot what I'm doing at my computer, and your assertion you could see what I was doing, was fake :-( "make a low effort joke" You still have not understood my comment. You make no effort to understand the comment, even with my explanation. I guess this is because you don't want to understand people but get something out of attacking them. My comment was not a joke, which was the point of my previous comment.

        The point stands that you lied about the number of comments to aid your position, and that you didn't read even the above the fold comments. So you weren't making a low effort comment, you were trying to start substantive discussion, but you didn't even read other comments? Sounds likely. I guess since we're telling pointless stories about TV shows I should comment on your bright future as a HumancentiPad component.

        I was not making a joke. But that's not fitting the narrative in your head. You invent other people in your head, me "rushing to the comments to make a low effort joke", ignoring what they say ("I was not making a joke"), then make up what they say, so you can attack them, instead of an argument ("I was not making a joke"). "The point stands that you lied about the number of comments" I never said how many comments I have read. How can I lie about the number of comments I have read then? Are you mixing up comments? You see me highly confused. [Edit] I made the comment because there are many leaf blowers here - and while they do individually safe time to the user, they create hell for everyone else who might be noise sensitive. And I made the comment to express that there is already an invention, the rake. So people could use that instead of optimizing their comfort and time against everyone else wellbeing. But people don't care.

The one I use is called "letting the leaves decompose naturally and accepting that certain areas will be mulchy". Plus a broom to keep the sidewalk clean.

  Tried that, but it's not working for me on the (small) patches of grass in our garden - I guess it depends on the climate.

People don't have time to do physical work like rake the lawn. They need to finish the yard work and drive to the gym to get some exercise.

  Reminds me of the escalator to gym meme.
