I have a discontinued shoe that I really like and I've had great luck getting them on eBay lightly used. I keep a few spare pairs and swap individual shoes out as they wear. You mi…

I worked at an org that had a substantial on-prem GPU datacenter. We transitioned to with a substantial negotiated discount rate, with part of the contract being we would sell them…

Were it me, I would have started with a pre-2000's Craftsman mower as a base. They have a 6 speed transaxle with a differential (which solves the steering problem mentioned) and a …
