Wind turbines intentionally sway that to prevent it from snapping like a twig. This video shows it clearly from the inside.

Is this blade spinning freely? Mower not starting.

Mower stopped working near start of mow. At first mower indicated it had power when i tried to restart it but nothing happened. Took out battery, inspected it and reseated it. Now mower is not showing it to be getting any power. Blade doesn't rotate freely. Feels like the motor is resisting it. No grinding sound to indicate parts rubbing against housing. No debris or other obvious entanglements.

Online research says it could be internal fuse having blown. This will be my last I'll do if I can't get it going any other way.

Aren't the increasing number of recalls costing companies more than a properly funded regulatory oversight?

I am surprised that companies aren't either trying to get FDA refunded or at least themselves implementing harder internal testing of products before making them avaliable to consumers.

Surely their had to be a breaking point?

Requesting a map for cosmic quartz on Humble

They are too beautiful to simply breakdown and now 3/4 of the way to completing the moon (or planet?) I would like to start collecting them all for display purposes. Can't find any reliable sources that don't just list out coordinates. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Thy end result. Burnt ends

Thanks to everyone who gave advice on how to proceed with this. They turned out great. Might trim some of the fatty ones next time if that isn't sacrilege.

Where exactly is Harrah's parking garage?

I've driven strings the area near the casino a few times and haven't seen a sign that says which garage will accept the Ceasars salute card.

I will be working at the federal building come next week and was told everyone parks at the casino garage during the week.
