A string trimmer, also known by the portmanteau strimmer and the trademarks Weedwacker, Weed Eater and Whipper Snipper, [1] [a] is a garden power tool for cutting grass, small weeds, and groundcover. It uses a whirling monofilament line instead of a blade, which protrudes from a rotating spindle at the end of a long shaft topped by a gasoline ...
Weed Eater is a string trimmer company founded in 1971 in Houston, Texas by George C. Ballas, Sr., the inventor of the device. The idea for the Weed Eater trimmer came to him from the spinning nylon bristles of an automatic car wash. He thought that he could come up with a similar technique to protect the bark on trees that he was trimming around.
A loading coil or load coil is an inductor that is inserted into an electronic circuit to increase its inductance. The term originated in the 19th century for inductors used to prevent signal distortion in long-distance telegraph transmission cables.
Drawing up a comprehensive list of words in English is important as a reference when learning a language as it will show the equivalent words you need to learn in the other language to achieve fluency.
Components of a modern bottleneck rifle cartridge. Top-to-bottom: Copper-jacketed bullet, smokeless powder granules, rimless brass case, Boxer primer.. Handloading, or reloading, is the practice of making firearm cartridges by manually assembling the individual components (metallic/polymer case, primer, propellant and projectile), rather than purchasing mass-assembled, factory-loaded ...
While investigating the drop-off in her sales, U-Turn informs Heylia that Conrad and Nancy are growing MILF weed. When Peter Scottson turns on Nancy, Conrad approaches U-Turn again in order to make a quick sale. U-Turn uses this as a set-up to steal the weed, but due to unforeseen circumstances (Silas and Celia), the pot is lost.
As for the former, you can't really go by how Schrödinger derived it, because his way was rather ad-hoc. A ground-up approach from basic postulates is given in, for instance, the first three chapters of Landau & Lifschitz book on QM. It's not string theory, but it's not introductory-level stuff either. --BluePlatypus 04:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Thus, the xylem is scattered and strength is lost. I imagine this is one reason you will never see (say) a celery tree. On the other hand, the multiple bundles probably allow for faster growth ("growing like a weed"). Interestingly, palm trees have the multiple vascular bundles, but can still form large, strong trunks.
