    Maybe the ground beneath is eroded, causing concrete to settle against the blade.

    That blade is from a walk behind road saw and I've buried those blades to the arbor many times over the years. Same with a back breaking demo saw. Never once got one stuck to the point of removing the saw.
    My best guess is it's a set up pic as that blade isn't stuck.

    Agree and, Toyota is using remote access to shut off your Toyota should you miss car payments.
    That just amazes me coming from 60's & 70's vehicles.

    As much as I despise the shift towards subscription based features in vehicles, this seems like the absolute best and most satisfying use of this technology, IMO.

    Pay for your stuff and you don't have issues.

    Too many people are willing to spend money they don't have, and then expect to keep using what they aren't paying for.

    True to your point on people over buying their mens but damn, I don't want someone listening to me & the misses doing the nasty while someone monitoring the car is whacking to our music.
    I realize that's a way out there example but it's kind of how I feel, they keep creeping into our privacy.

    I find it interesting that younger folks are more acceptable to the idea of giving up some freedoms compared to the older gens.
    Not bashing anyone so don't get all fluffy and ****.... I just find it curious.

    That's already happening though. It doesn't take a vehicle to spy on you. Case in point. I told my wife a Joke the other day. She laughed. Siri laughed. Alexa laughed. The TV laughed. Google laughed.

    (this is not a real story BTW....but you get where I am coming from)

    Yeah, it really doesn't phase me. We have Alexa devices throughout our home and at this point, I wouldn't ever consider getting rid of them. The have just shown to be way too useful.

    If someone wants to listen to me tell my kids to take out the garbage and feed the dog 400 million times, knock yourself out...

    In all reality, I have zero fear that anyone is listening in on me and my family.

    I understand why some people will have their reservations and just don't trust them, I simply don't share the same viewpoint.

    Parked across from this "person" today and If I had a pen and paper would have left this note: Are you seriously okay with your parking job?? Please, throw away your keys and NEVER drive again!! My girlfriend congratulated me on my restraint....I really wanted to say something else about his lack of concern....

    I more often see people pulled a foot or two over the line in front of them. Not sure which is worse. It’s just not that hard …

    A fingerfull of dirty grease from the front end of your vehicle placed under the driver's door handle would've been fitting. If you were really upset another dose underneath the tailgate handle is a nice added touch.

    Could have been a vehicle towing a trailer in the space in front of the white pu and no other open spaces at that time. Thing is you just don't know and in the end it's no skin off your back, so don't be an a$$.

    Not likely. That scenario just doesn't play out. There are literally acres of parking spots in this area, two banks, three restaurants, Costco and Walmart are all associated with this stretch of land.

    No sir, this is just another example of the inconsideration people show with their vehicles here in San Antonio whether they are driving or parking, and it's overwhelmingly abundant. If leaving a note under someone's wiper is being an a$$, call me what you will, it's no skin off my back.

    This is the man who probably lost or set up the blade.

    One day, many decades ago, I was watching TV, when I heard a very loud "whoosh", followed by strange noises and a gawd awful loud sound that was definitely different. It sounded like 10 million gallons of water being released from the largest dam there is.

    So, I hike back into the woods to see what's going on, as I start to hear fire trucks in the distance. Some contractor had hit a gas main right in front of an apartment complex building with a huge backhoe. 12 apartments were a total loss and others were scorched enough to not be livable anymore.

    Yes, the line was clearly flagged by the utility department. The incredibly fast rush of fire coming up from the ground shocked me, and produced a sound I'll most likely never hear again. Words can't really describe it. The beam of fire shot up at least 60 feet in the air.

    Temp repair until they find a 'round tuit' to fix that rear main seal leak properly... Cork plug used for quick no tool drain.
