Poor millennials

Spoken like a millenial that never has remodeled an 1880's build.

To be clear I don't own a power tool other than my electric mower.

Doesn't matter what some socio-political nerd wants to label you, I can probably come up with a reason why you suck and everything's your fault.

Also to be clear: we millenials let @wllm represent us frequently on HT.

The above quote is not one of those times.

That could very well be a blessing.

Brevity is an art form, and you sir, are an artist.

I look forward to the day when some future generation uses the equivalent of 'OK, boomer' in response to some 'in my day' millennial (or at '81 I suppose I could be considered Gen X based on wllm's graph) nonsense Im spouting. Thisll be a good day.

Hey I was paying attention in big fin’s elk class. When my wife goes on Pinterest she knows that she’s hiring someone if she wants that crap in our house.

We can drive a car with a manual transmission AND order off the menu through a QR code.

We blast tool at 11, and still get to yell "what?" every time our spouse says something we don't really want to hear, but know we can blame it on the tinnitus.

I'd never buy an electric mower. The technology just isn't there yet. What happens when I'm in the back yard and the battery dies? I'm not running an extension cord all the way over there to charge it!

I will concede that you're probably doing it the right way. It seems like you're frequently out hunting while I'm rebuilding a deck or building compost bins...

Your yard just needs better infrastructure.

No one who listens to Smashing Pumpkins as much as you is anything but a GenXer

Great, more tax & spend liberalism in my back yard!

Had Biden not sent money to Ukraine, run up inflation, and gutted the infrastructure bill we might all be happily running electric mowers.

Appreciated, but you wouldn't say so if you've ever read the word salad my hunt stories turn into.

Will will never know the pure pleasure a man gets from strapping down a load of lumber with ratchet straps and then looking back and saying "yep, that ain't goin' nowhere."

Sad. Just sad.

And dont forget the mostly subtle, sometimes not so much so, reminders that he said he was going to fix something. We all love those.
