The "A" spot.
I am not a fan of men telling other men about female sexual responses but this guy has a graphic that explains what to do. I would have like a woman to explain what works for her.
Not the "A" spot but this is what I mean by females should present information about how they work.

James Web Space Telescope. Update: 4:30 p.m. EST, Dec. 21, 2021:
NASA and Arianespace successfully completed the Launch Readiness Review for the James Webb Space Telescope on Dec. 21. The team authorized the Ariane 5 rocket carrying Webb to rollout and the start of launch sequencing for the mission.
However, due to adverse weather conditions at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, the flight VA256 to launch Webb – initially scheduled for Dec. 24 – is being postponed.
The new targeted launch date is Dec. 25, as early as possible within the following launch window:
Between 7:20 a.m. and 7:52 a.m. Washington

I am planning on buying a leaf blower soon. In reading I have read that Winter or early Spring is the best time to buy. I have also been reading up on MPH vs. CuFt /minute (air volume). As expected the sweet spot embraces both these metrics as part of the buying consideration. But how to judge ? Turns out there is a tool for that. One needs to try and find out the Newtonian Force number a blower has. The higher the number the more leaves that can be moved iin a period of time or distance. So a blower with a Netonian Force number of 30 will be 3 times as powerful as one with a rating of 10. In advertising I have not seen a Newtonian number as parrt of the specification description on the blowers I have viewed. So if I see one or two that I think might do for me I guess I will need to contact the mfg. and see if that number is available. Of coarse there are other considerations for the blower, but I think this one is probably the most important.
I am also thinking about a 4 stroke gas blower. I have about an acre to clear and I have large hardwoods that produce an abundance of leaves each fall. My reading has revealed that a typical back pack 2 stroke blower pumps out as much polution in 1 hour as a typical truck does in 1 year of driving. Lots of things to consider before I buy.
EDIT: If push comes to shove I will research how to arrive at the Newtonian Force rating on my own.

Worksforme2, Netonian Force number sounds like a good way to rate leaf blower. What I have found is after a season or two, some of these 2 stroke implements become difficult to start. Almost all 2 stroke engines will screw up if you put gasoline with ethanol in them. Some stores have special 2 stroke fuel in gallon cans from $10 to $24 a gallon. In my town, there are a couple of gas stations that have gasoline without ethanol. I mix my 2 stroke fuel with the ethanol free fuel. 2 stroke oil comes in little bottles and the per quart price is outrageously high priced, so I buy the gallon size of 2 stroke oil. If I bought a leaf blower the ease of operation would be important if the air volume was sufficient to get the job done. I suspect some ratings are not what the device will put out in actual usage.
A long time ago farm tractors were falsely advertised so the state of Nebraska came up with " Nebraska Tractor Law and selected data recorded in other investigations; determine influence of auxiliary equipment such as the power take-off, hydraulic control system, generating equipment, fan equipment, etc.on power output and fuel economy of tractors; determine influence of various local fuels on combustion chamber deposits and power output; analysis data recorded during past 30 years of tractor testing.
Yes, there was a lot of BS when it came to tractor sales. I personally have a 5 HP engine that puts out as much power as a newer advertised 8HP engine. To me advertisers are putting out some to a bunch of BS.
I have lawn equipment that is easy to difficult to start. Right now I would choose the easier to start equipment and the performance part would be secondary if close. I would lean towards the 4-stroke versions. Do not overlook the CC displacement of the engine. That (CC) is the basis for all HP. |

I have been watching videos about dangerous roads for many years. I also watch videos of roads that were a marvel to build.
.eastern Brazil has the Atlantic mountains separating the major cities on the southern eastern coast. Until the late 1970's the trip between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro was on a 2 lane road that traverses many mountains and valleys. According to the old videos, traffic was slow and bumper to bumper most of the time. The "Serra do Mar - Rodovia dos Imigrantes - SP" is the new toll road.
What is more spectacular to me is the older road" Serra do Rio do Rastro" and in particular this video.

The Onion has apparently modified it content so that it cannot be copied and saved elsewhere. This means one of my satire sources has basically gone away. So I will be more dependent on "The Bee " and a few other sources. At times it will be slim, so I might not get to prick away at liberals and those entitled elitists as much. Fortunately the weather is warming so I will hopefully be able to once again ride my Harley and get some satisfaction from that, in lue of gouging my political and philosophical opposites.
Haranguing ain't as easy as it used to be.

I am planning on buying a leaf blower soon. I lucked into that leaf blower over the weekend. In talking with a neighbor he said he was going to buy an electric blower. Don't you own a gas blower I ask? Yes he answered but i am tired of lugging it around. Let me make you a hell of a deal he offered. $50 he says. So he started it after about 3 pulls and it ran like a champ. It's a Stihl 550. Weighs about 20 lbs. It's a low emission engine which I like, and not too loud. So maybe I got lucky and will not have to learn how to do the math to calculate optimum volume/windspeed for a blower. |

How to open an English muffin without a knife...
Simply hold the muffin vertically with your fingers on the edges,
then use your fingers to squeeze the edges of the muffin inward so that the center begins to bulge outward,
rotate the muffin and continue to gently squeeze the muffin and it will part handily.
Who would have thought ?

Always knew that pressure washer tips gave different 'intensities' but I never cottoned onto the fact that the pressure also varies with the tip used.  |
