A litttttle concerning to have the flame right against your lawn when killing your weeds. π³ Probably not wise if your grass is dry and/or itβs windy
Dopamine is a hell of a drug.
The way people will sell their souls for a little engagement is scary. Need to make the negative feedback loop for this kind of thing stronger, or the positive one weaker. Butβ¦yeah.

My kids were adorable when they were little but I really do not miss those days very much
