Milwaukee. As another commenter pointed out, it's not so much that small engines are inconvenient to use as that they're also inconvenient to store and maintain. Especially when it's a seldom used tool.

Absolutely, small engines are a pain, and the more you have, the more pain they are. Especially when they don't get used often. The pruning saw was as much as cheap gasoline chainsaw, but it fires right up with minimal maintenance (cha

I cut down and removed some forty trees of heaven, ranging forty to sixty feet tall and up to ten inches in diameter, using an M12 8" pruning saw. I went through a lot of batteries, a couple chains, and almost a full bottle of bar oil,

Android's market share inside the United States is 42%. Globally, Android's market share is 70%. I don't think it's accurate to generalize that "people" don't want to use Android. Both platforms seem to ha

Then you have devices like FRTs and Super Safeties that comply with the letter of the law in being semi-automatic and still shooting fast.

I also thought it was weird, I've heard great things about Costco's return policy. I think they wanted me to try the manufacturer first, as they didn't have the can in stock anymore.

Agreed, I also like writing and especially reading (good) C. The Linux kernel, Wine, and FFmpeg are a joy to read, and much more approachable than one would think. I get exhausted by people denouncing C in favor of the language du jour, and

I'm not the person you responded to, but my biggest complaint with Go is binary size. It makes it rather unusable for low level programs on resource constrained systems.
