From using a chainsaw to make jokes about throwing people out of work to becoming the butt of loser jokes, Elon Musk has had quite a week.
And it's only Tuesday.

"Organizers say Tesla protests are bigger than ever ...
attendance and interest have continued to grow despite — or perhaps because of — Trump’s rhetoric":

"In addition to widespread protests, some instances of violence have been reported
against Tesla vehicles and dealerships."

I remember a tiny chainsaw conversation I had a while back with a few folks in Wales.
I won't link to you all as you'll get all the notifications.

Lidl UK have the same tiny chainsaw in stock from tomorrow, again, If it is anything like the one I bought last time, it is a really great little saw.

I use it far more than I do my larger DeWalt chainsaw, as it feels quicker to use and to cut, possibly due to a narrow chain and higher chain speed.

No link to the website as they only become dead links after a week.

"A spotlight on Elon Musk’s conflicts of interest":

“Stranding all or part of rural America with worse internet so that we can make the world’s richest man even richer is yet another in a long line of betrayals." Did Biden enable fascism?: "Over the past two decades, Musk received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, helping him become the world’s richest person"

I access #YouTube via #FreeTube to avoid getting stuck in algorithm-powered rabbit holes.

For a while, my favorite search term was #chainsaw #fails to see all that can go wrong when cutting trees. Main lesson: ropes and ladders are a bad sign.

Now, I’m looking into #road #rage, another useful thing to know about. My main takeaway so far: don't speak, don’t get out of the car, don’t roll down the window.

I hope watching those stupid incidents will help me avoid road rage myself.

I got my first chainsaw and spent awhile cutting firewood today. This is a whole lot easier (and more fun) than the old way with an axe.

Just a little more to do tomorrow.

#Merz adores that chainsaw Kai #Wegner is swinging in #Berlin since almost two years. We can expect the same extensive social and cultural cuts on the federal level soon. #CDU with spd will continue to follow the Afd/maga playbook. They will defund and destroy unwanted ‚woke‘ institutions, NGOs and progressive arts&culture. Although they signed off hundreds of billons for weapons and infrastructure in the parliament yesterday they will heavily cut the welfare state and social programs. In secret they adore fascist Musk swinging #Mileis #chainsaw.

Some stuff from China arrived. Replacement decompression valve for Jonsered. And also the bolt that can just replace it.

And new o-rings for the fuel cap, so it can stop leaking my precious fuel everywhere. Too expensive to spill!

And a shiny new full chisel chain

Got a nice big table outside the garage now so I can do some work in the sun*.

Has the #News #Media ever learned what a #OrgChart is?

The #spaceman with a #chainsaw is cutting the federal #DOE in half.

Some of us in the public are interested in where the cuts are specifically and what programs are affected or not affected

Last month, during #ElonMusk’s appearance at CPAC, as he hoisted a #chainsaw in the air, stumbled over some of his words, & questioned whether there was really gold stored in Fort Knox, people on his social-media platform…started posting about #ketamine.

#Musk has said he uses ketamine regularly, so for the past couple of years, public speculation has persisted about how much he takes, whether he’s currently high, or how it might affect his behavior.

There’s a reason why the #chainsaw is such an apt symbol for the current assault on American #science: because you can cut a tree down in minutes, but growing it back takes decades.

Saturday Cartoons

I don't mind #ElonMusk wielding a #chainsaw. In fact, he should take it along wherever he goes. Given the people he surrounds himself with, it is quite unlikely he'd hurt someone I'd be sorry for.

We're getting dangerously close to Idiocracy in real life.

Next "ole Mac", an Oleo-Mac 942 from 1997. This one is a trooper. Starts on the first pull, even in deep winter. The air filter is basically chicken fencing and somehow that works fine. Modern saws can choke on a dust mote, but this thing breathes saw chips and keeps going.

Got a clean-up and a new throttle cable, as the old had chafed through. Luckily some guy in Kaunas is stripping old saws and selling the parts for reasonable prices. New parts are no longer available.
