Sometimes when I grill. I don’t clack the tongs together.
Take your fucking socks and sandals and march your ass right out of my open air brick patio, sir.
This one right here, officer. He’s a menace.
You monster! How do you even know if they’re tongy enough?
I can almost forgive some of these others. But I don’t understand how a person, much less a dad, could even begin to commit such an attrocity. The second I don’t click the tongs, tweezers, hell even scissors, you will know that I have been compromised.
You make me sick.
I clack them to the terminator theme. Even if I didn’t want to, I don’t think I could avoid it.
Same but Mission Impossible
But how do you know they are working if you don’t clack them?

This is genuinely upsetting. How could you
Is it really grilling if there’s no clacking?
You just lost grilling privileges.
I’ve always wanted to ask someone who is into doing it. Since I’ve got you here, what satisfaction do you derive from posting outright lies and falsehoods on the internet?
I optimize my pattern for minimal direction changes, which saves me 3-5% on the time it takes to mow
I optimise mine for max clibbins dispersion.
Or if it’s really thick and damp I’ll do a patern like 2 rows forward 1 row back so they get finely mulched instead of clumped. Think a narrow clockwise rectangle on the right of a given square of grass that slowly walks to the left so the clipings are pulled away from the uncut grass and then run ove again on the return trip. Also helps in case it’s thick enough that the grass isn’t fully being cut.
This is genius. I usually just get my blower out to break up the clumps, but I might give this a go
I’m totally trying this the next time I wait too long between mowings!
This guy Dads.
But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you’ll get wheel ruts.
Only if you have a heavy mower and drive in the exact same spot every time. I can see it with a soft yard and a riding mower, but not so much with a push mower.
I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.
Exactly this. I do the trim of the section I am working, then any areas that cannot be bulk mowed, then smaller and smaller square pattern on the bulk to avoid time consumed on excessive turning/momentum loss. Grass looks fine, not trying to impress anyone, and I get back to my family sooner.
Same here. It’s sort of a square shape following the borders and obstacles. I think the time savings are much greater compared to doing a 180 on either end, or walking the mower backwards.
I try to go the opposite direction on the next mow, if I remember.
The other day my daughter told me she was hungry… All I did was ask what she wanted to eat! I will carry that with me for all my days
“Hi hungry, I’m dad”
My robot mower does this. It traverses the lawn like a Roomba. Took me awhile to get used to.
Your WHAT?
My guy, robot mowers have been around for some time now. The catch is you need to bury a guide wire around the perimeter of the area the mower is meant to cut. Or at least that was the case the last time I looked into getting one.
There are some which are guided via gps now. However, i won’t trust them being so precise. For me/us burying a guide wire was the better solution. Some manufacturers even claim, that you dont have to burry the line cos it will be overgrown by grass after a short amount of time.
GPS will only ever be accurate within 5 meters, which won’t cut it for small yards where even 1 meter over the line may send it down a hill or into the neighbors yard
Linus Tech Tips reviewed one that came with a little radio tower it used for position (guessing it used a combination of many sensors). Seemed to work OK in his flat little backyard.
GPS gets down to 1cm or finer precision with an additional, stationary receiver, and time corrections. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-diy-gnss-reference-station
People have built DIY mowers utilizing tech like this. Problem is, the RTK receivers are far too expensive for all but the higher end mowers.
I love this reaction
My Roomba vacuums in a pattern. It finds the edges of the room, finds obstacles, and then goes ||||| across the middle of the room, doing little circles around table legs.
I’d need 6 of 'em for my lawn, last time I checked. Would bee nice tho
Must have a big yard! Mine is good for 1/2 acre but it could just run more often so I think you could stretch it a bit
Last Time I grilled, I didn’t ask who wanted their meat rarer than having a good chef
I had an electric mower so my pattern was just “don’t run over the extension cable.”
I use one of them Husqvarna roombas to do my lawn. It cuts any way it wants ☹️
Same. No shame, as I spend my time working to buy supplies, and then use those supplies to grill
🤢🤮
The one who vomited, did so such that his steaks would be affected
How do you do a pattern? Do you have to adjust the height?
The height, the direction, the updog.
What is “updog”?
Not much. And you?
All is well, thanks.
Dad club confirmed
My general mood and demenur thanks for asking
what does that mean?
Updog is the most magical property of grass, its hard to put into words over the internet.
I’d recommend approaching your friends and asking them “what’s updog”. You should get filled in soon enough.
