If you have a manual push mower today, it likely uses design elements from 19th Century Black American inventor John Albert Burr's patented rotary blade lawn mower.
On May 9, 1899, John Albert Burr patented an improved rotary blade lawn mower. Burr designed a lawn mower with traction wheels and a rotary blade that was designed to not easily get plugged up from lawn clippings. John Albert Burr also improved the design of lawn mowers by making it possible to mow closer to building and wall edges. You can view U.S. patent 624,749 issued to John Albert Burr.

(IMPROVED) Base Yandere SCP 682 Headcanons: Everyone But You
[Hello My Sexy Muffins, and welcome to another chapter, now as some of you had said 682 was a bit out of character in my last headcanons and I can see how so I am taking another crack at him. Remember he in canon let a little girl SCP draw on him and protect her by sleeping around her. So he is not all killer instincts and we will get to that. for those who do not know, I have a youtube channel and this chapter will be published on the youtube channel in ASMR-ish format, you can find my link if your own Wattpad to my youtube channel on my profile, please enjoy!]
-Base Yandere Headcanons With SCP 682-
.He HATES Almost everyone.
.A Few scps he tolerates
.And One SCP he has a soft spot for.
.Then there is you the one human he does not want to kill.
.He does get angry with you and lashes out at you.
.But he never hurts you too badly.
.He has a major temper. Like anything can piss him off and actually most things piss him off.
.So he snaps at you a lot.
.But he is also protective of you in his own way.
.if anyone were to actually harm you other than him, he would do a breach hunt them down, and eat them alive.
.If they do not let him see you?
.He is doing a breach and hunting you down, will end up wrapping around you and keeping you close to him.
.You run from him during that time you know you are going to get some broken legs.
.He is a no-nonsense type of yandere.
.You do what he says when he says it or else.
.He does have a soft spot for you though, SHHHHHHH don't tell anyone.
.This spot is a lot like how he dealt with SCP 053 aka Young girl, who happens to be three years old. She ends up making anyone around her angry and want to kill her and then themselves. But she can also heal herself.
.Scp 682 was brought in with her and did not eat her or try to hurt her. Instead, he sense that she was a soul like his kind of.
.He had the patience to let her climb on him and play with him coloring on his skull. Of course, he did not like being treated like a jungle gym but he allowed it nonetheless.
.He also got very angry with the staff demanding to know if they had harmed this little girl.
.So with you he has a soft spot for you.
.As in he puts up with a little more with you than anyone else.
.Also he would be patient with you when you are just doing your job.
.He HATES The humans around you though.
.Even more than his normal hatred for humans.
.He will only behave when you are around, as soon as you are gone he is trying to escape again.
.Most of the time to see you.
.He would deal with rivals just by eating them.
.How would he confess?
.Well you know he is going to do a breach and kill everyone in his path. Pick you up by the back of your shirt, escape with you and confess his love that way.
.Asking you to run away with him.
.IT would be romantic if he did not kidnap you and murder all your friends.
.If you say yes he would be always trying to escape and run away with you.
.If you say no, well he does not listen to that he is going kidnap you each time and kill everyone in his way each time.
.If he was ever to lose you, he would constantly do breaches, but not to escape but to hunt you down.
.That is if you are alive.
.Or kill as many staff members as possible. if you were dead.
.You are the only one that matters to him this much.
.He would dare say he might love you, that is if he believed love was real. All he knows is he hates everyone but you and that makes you are his.
[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS another chapter done, I hope you all enjoyed and stay sexy all my muffins!]

18yo me: oh, I'm just stressed out of taking care of the restaurant... A beer and a cigarette won't do me any harm.
20yo me: well, can't deal with all that stress, raising my cousins, dealing with aunt's, dad's and mum's bull without some booze and nicotine. Thank fuck the restaurant closed, tho they blame it on me.
21yo me: I have been drunk all week, and smoked two boxes of cigarettes today. Really hope my family will stop calling asking me to fix their shit even tho I'm halfway across the state.
24yo me(currently): went from 3 packs of cigars a day to less than one, maybe a bottle or two of beer with the boyfriend during the weekends after over a year of not drinking.
It's progress. This is the part no one talks about. It takes time to stop addiction. It's not just "stop" and calling a day. I tried it, and the side effects and fallback were worse than they are today. Today, a fallback on cigars is one whole pack and a couple more, on a really stressful day. Not three packs.
So, if you're struggling to stop any addiction, do know that it's not easy. It's not as simple as stopping and saying no. It's a hike. There will be low spots, there will be improvement, there will be moments without improvement or decay. Just don't lose faith and don't give up.
