You've confused me for someone who gives a shit.  I usually order
boneless Buffalo wings.

 

peeve of the day:

 

boneless chicken wings are chicken wings in the same way large
language models are artificially intelligent.

 

Ah, I knew I'd trigger somebody.

 glad i could oblige. :)
 

Hang on.  I've got to get my Sawzall and my Skilsaw.  Both are
Makita brand.

 Milwaukee Sawzall in my tool crib. the real deal. Ryobi skilsaw.
not the real deal. is the only Ryobi tool i have so it's called
the Ryobi saw. i'm glad i got both in the early 90s when good
quality tools were reasonably priced. will never need to replace
them and never have to deal with battery obsolescence.
 that triggers me too. have been cleaning out my late fathers
workshop and happened across just that. a whole bunch of
perfectly good power tools with useless irreplaceable batteries
i had to drop off at e-waste facilities.
 

I have a lot of Ryobi woodworking tools, bought as an inexpensive
package many years ago. Now the Ni batteries don't hold a charge for
long and a Li replacement would cost more than the original package
price. In addition, the reverse/forward switch on the drill has
broken.
My son gave me a couple of Milwaukee M12 drills (one of them an angle
drill) and they certainly seem to be superior. I have just bought a
Milwaukee chainsaw and it seems to be superior to my Stihl gas one.
