  1. Mower died. Engine is rekt. Looks like you don't repair small engines these days since a crankshaft alone is *as much as* a full ready-to-run engine assembly

  2. Got an old #Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 #tablet I was gifted by a relative a few years back (he upgraded to a newer one).

    I use it mostly to read #PDF documents of scanned #books about #oldtimers , #mechanic work and #electronics (so these are quite big PDF files).

    Normal #AdobeReader is laggy on this old device, and I don't need the #AI bullshit bundled with it.

    Can anyone suggest a better PDF reader for Android with 0 ads, decent privacy and good performance?

  3. I keep seeing this #pictogram (top right hand corner, stick man holding a #spanner and wearing a #rosette ) on parts of #VW cars (it was also on the #DSG gearbox of my Polo). I know it means "qualified/trained #mechanic only should work on this assembly and the one in my picture is a specification of oil and refrigerant for the airco),

    I've not found any sources that #mechanics in Germany get #rosettes on completing their training, and in UK a rosette is either associated with political party membership or you might get one if you won some kind of #sports event (or a beauty contest) so I'm curious as to why its used..
