I had one die 2 years ago (bad front motor bearing) which I replaced with a spare. A few months ago that spare died with a stripped drive gear. I now have the last spare in place and don't think I'll be using a Whale in the future for our shower sump pump.

Now that's good, one shot takes out the leader and then they'll just mill around, lost, hopefully until they die of starvation. (For those with jet... ahem, PWC, I'm just kidding; I love you all.) By the way, I called it correct, they did disappear around sundown, but then the other gnats showed up.

People die every year using these heaters in closed spaces. Rudy et al. Over here, there are kerosene heaters (japanese branded) over here that are used to heat smallish places during the winter. They are flue- less, and there are strongly worded warnings that to avoid CO poisoning, one must use an "approved" fuel.

Once technology removes natural predators (or stops world wars with the atomic bomb), population heads for the sky until the big die-off. If other people don't have a problem with having four kids, I have no problem with using vacuum tubes and Edison bulbs. All in my humble opinion, of course.

We're going to see a lot of stuff die in the coming years from these little critters.

They are an advel design of light alloy rivet with an external thread and a hexagonal head on the die. They fasten with standard automatic riveting equipment but can be removed and re-installed with a allen (hex) key. They work very well.
