If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.

Otherwise I always go backwards.

Am I the only one who would find the woman at the left more attractive?

The right just looks like plastic to me, same with all of these instagram influencer ladies who have more plastic surgeries than I have fingers.

The difference with all those other tools is that you are always there when it runs. You are not there when the robot lawnmower is running and some cat jumps your fence, which is why it should not harm the cat.

You are kind of correct that the rpm of the robot mower blades are faster, but the blades are much lighter and most mowers even have swiveling blades that are only held straight by the centrifugal force, so they will just swivel away when they hit something.

The blades are not much more than razor blades that are mounted on a plastic disc with one screw each. You wouldn't want to put your hand into the spinning blade, which is very hard to do anyway, but there is just not enough power to throw rocks with any significant force.

I would be able to put my finger in the way of the blades if they were completely blunt and I would not get hurt very much if at all, doing the same thing on a normal mower would be a very different story.

Yes, I have heard about that too, which is why I only let mine run at daytime.

Lawnmower robots have much smaller blades with less inertia. I don't doubt a direct hit would hurt, but rocks just won't get thrown very fast by it. A direct hit would also be pretty hard to achieve because the skirt stops anything big from getting under the robot and the blades stop immediately when it gets lifted up.

Just imagine how many lawsuits the manufacturers would have to deal with if these things were only slightly unsafe.

Bad Management and upper level decision makers probably don't help either.

Here in Germany the forum culture is still somewhat alive, social media did take a big cut though.

My family is upper middle class, although my mom did struggle financially for a few years. I went to school in a poorer neighborhood, so I do have some friends with less money, I have some friends with parents who make about as much as mine, but I dont have any friends with really rich families, although I was sort of friends with one who went to vocational school with me.

It does help to understand just how much it sucks to have no money, so yes.

Yeah, I wouldn't classify myself as rich, just middle class and I do some of those things, my mom and her boyfriend could do all of those things and I would not classify them as rich either, just upper middle class.

The actually rich people buy stuff that is so expensive that I couldn't afford it, even if I saved for years, and the price is mostly that high so they can show their rich friends just how rich they are.

I live in Germany, the definition of middle class might be different in other countries, though.

Except Steam never deletes games that you already own or takes them away from you for other reasons.

Yes, they could do that in the future but its the one company where that is unlikely.

That sign looks too much like the sign for the "verkehrsberuhigter Bereich" sign in in my opinion.
