Bingo. Also, it's effectively dead. I live in Multnomah county and since that's gone into effect (in 2023), I have only ever pumped my own gas.

Howdy, fellow east Portlander, you might be interested in this: https://www.eptl.toollibrarian.net/TL/ourtools.php.

They have 5 electric leaf blowers available right now. You mentioned you already bought one, but perhaps you could share this info with some of your friends or neighbors to save them the cost. :)


Hello! We do use the EPTL :) that did remind me to donate my old plugin blower though thank you. I will note that EPTL only has plugin blowers and there are good reasons I went with a more mobile blower.

Ah, yeah, I'd suspect they'd only have plugins. Def understand the need for mobility. I never want to miss a chance to share with folks about the existence of EPTL, though. :P

We already know how this story progresses.

Sounds like a great way to shift our problems from categories that are easy to measure to ones that are hard to measure.

I'd wager it's the first (51.1%). Mostly because I simply cannot imagine that nearly 70% of kids in 2005 enjoyed reading. That seems too high. Based on..? My vibes.

Yes, that's correct.


I don't want to beat a dead horse, since sibling commenters have covered this, but I'd implore you to imagine the spectrum of reactions which Meta _could_ have had when discovering their research indicated they were having a negative impact on people.

Some of those reactions on that spectrum would lead to greater human flourishing and well-being, others of those reactions would lead to the opposite. Now think about the reaction they actually _did_ have. Where on the aforementioned spectrum would their actual reaction fall?

Zooming out, how have they reacted to similar circumstances in the past when their own internal research or data indicated a negative impact on people?

The continued "outrage" is that they've exhibited a recurrent pattern across myriad occurrences.
