It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1]"

One main problem I see is the tension put on the blade of grass. In the “field” the blade is sorta just hanging there freely, I think it messed with the dynamics of the cut by putting the blade of grass under tension…and we’d see very different behavior if only one end was held in place and the other allowed to dangle freely.

@ADBBuild

THIS! Easy way to think about it is cutting a piece of rope with a knife. Unless you have an incredibly sharp knife, you aren't going to cut through a piece of rope hanging in mid air as it will just be pushed away. It has to be held under tension for the knife to cut through. Inversely, by hold the grass blade tight, you are making it easier to cut and distorting how it cuts.
@BigBear--
@BigBear-- 9 місяців тому
@@ADBBuild Over a year later my bottom line is when it comes to trimmer line - get yourself either the Husqvarna Titanium, or XP+, or get the Echo Black Diamond. I personally prefer the Husky line. That stuff is super tough, tracks straight, and cuts clean. Also a small recommendation is soak the line for about 24hrs in some water...cause a lot of the time you never know how old it is, or how it was stored or transported. Soaking it in water sorta re-hydrates it, and prevents it from getting brittle. You can also do that to bring it back to life, if it goes stiff on you from dry storage every season.

Dunning-Krueger is poorly understood. The study, and subsequent efforts, have demonstrated that people tend to presume they are average in performance regardless of how their performance ranks in absolute terms. If I were to take 100 people sampled at random and have them run, say, 3 miles, we would see them string out, with a few running far ahead and a few practically walking from the beginning. Most will be relatively close to each other or even herd together. Run them all individually to see how they perform, and you will break up the herding but not the statistical clustering of scores. Most people see themselves as "part of the pack" - be they at the rear of the pack or the front. Only when you have them perform as independent individuals can you properly assess their individual capabilities - the fast will not slow down to lead the pack, for example, and the slow will pick up their pace to not lag behind. Our perception of our individual capabilities is seen through this lens. People naturally perceive their performance as existing relative to this pack cluster with those tat the front not understanding how easy/naturally they dominate and those at the back not understanding how hard they have to try to keep up relative to others. Thus, people at the back think they are closer to the middle than they truly are while people at the front do not understand their own superiority.

The line we use at work is rounded, but its actually closer to 2 different strands of small round line twisted together and it doesnt cut as clean but it is extremely durable and i can get 2 days out of a length thats 2 of my wingspan long. Other styles similar to the traingle line or the round line seem to wear out after just 1 day of trimming.

So glad to know that years ago when the new lines came to life, my take is the same. Star and gater line is the best over all. The 4 edge (squared) like Robert mentioned how it will do for roughs and can cut through tough grasses is not a go to for manicured lawns. It wants to climb down into the grass and get away from you before you know it and then you have a bad spot that is there for the customer to see. All in All a round weed eater line will give you a smooth cut like butter in grasses such as Bermuda & Zoysia grass. In doing so it kind of rolls over the top of the grass while you are cutting without digging lower than what you want to go. And in working throughout the years you learn to slow down your weed eater throttle with your smaller line along your fence so you don't go through it in the first 20 feet.

The grey line with the spiral groove is, I believe, Husquevarna that I used a lot, beecause it lasts longer, especially on rocks, curbs, fencing. But - it doesn't cut sharply, so dont expect less than ragged tops. Now using some star shaped thinner line (.85) given to me, and it cuts really well for grass, but not so good in the bushes & heavy weeds.

Then there was this braided line it left a satisfactory product and lasted remarkably long. Both were commercial grade.

Definitely rigorous scientific research! You can't control all the variables without spending way too much time and money, but the experiment with small variables like the speed of the trimmer and the thickness of the grass aproximates the actual working conditions, so the accuracy of the test reflects real world results. I appreciate the time and effort doing this test. I have personally use the star shaped line as I was swayed by advertising some years back, also because it creates a cleaner cut the grass will be healthier in the long term.

Mine is gas and his is battery powered. Feels like the rpm’s of my dad’s trimmer is much lower,but it works SO much better!

Robert’s the real MVP. It’s really interesting how the people who use a tool or practice a subject so much everyday will say they aren’t an expert, but when you get in the weeds (pun intended) on the subject they know more about it than they first think.

@@leeditor7906 "uneducated" just means you didn't get brainwashed by a leftist "education". It speaks nothing of one's IQ or overall intelligence. Also leftist are dull minded brainwashed sheep who know so little that they believe the hilarious BS spread by the media. I bet anything you try and hold against Trump right now is either outright fictitious or a misrepresentation (What we call lies) so bad that they're actually gross. Leftists don't know anything about politics, they're very very ignorant on the subject. - There are peer reviewed studies on the subject that find leftists virtually all live in an echo-chamber (The vast majority) whilst 'trumpies' tend to have a 40/50 mix of left vs non-left news sources. It's because we pay attention and we watch what the elites are trying to feed to the public, you're just gobbling it down as soon as it hits your plate and our news is like healthy vegetables which you avoid at all cost because realizing your entire world view is a complete fiction is a hard pill to swallow. PS: Studies also show us having a higher IQ on average, but there's more to it than us just physically thinking faster.

Lol yup it happens 😂 I live in Mississippi. Young people have less thick accents than older people typically so if I’m talking to some older people (or just people from more rural areas) my accent gets THICC. But when me and my husband went to Colorado together, everyone said they didn’t even notice our accents! I also tend to talk more southern if I’m just passin by someone or talkin to a stranger in the grocery store.

I Have called it heard a technique called "mirroring." Similar to what was mentioned previously, He switches to a similar accent to the one used by the person he is talking to. It in turn makes the person more receptive towards you. Its just that, Destin is such a good conversationalist, he does it subconsciously.

Overall great video! Ive been working in the landscape business over 5 years. Now there really isn’t “the best line”. It all depends on what your doing. There is pros and cons with every string shape. Another thing to consider is the thickness of the line, for every shape and brand there is different thickness sizes. If your edging sidewalks, or weed eating somewhere with a lot of rocks, or metal or debris, then you would want a thick round trimmer line. This shape is especially made for not breaking as easy. If your weed eating thick grass or brush with no rocks in the way then I would use the diamond shape. Which looks like a twisted string. An example is the echo black diamond. Also known as “sharp square shape. This line is meant for thick grass and weeds. It is not meant for edging, nor weed eating around rocks, fences or debris, because this type of line breaks easy. In my business I only use Husqvarna titanium force. Which is a thick round line. I use this because this line does not break easy, it is durable, and can cut through thick brush. This line is not meant for thick brush, but because we have high power commercial trimmers it knocks down weeds like nothing.
@kyoswkyosw1216
@kyoswkyosw1216 Рік тому
We have a triangle line up here that the corners are actually stronger than the core, so it splits apart through the middle of the line making each string actually three cutting pieces at the end of the line while trimming instead of one big piece

@J O You also have to factor in the power of the machine. The professional probably has a more powerful machine so the thinner line would snap easier. Also if you try and use a thicker line on a less powerful machine it can struggle to spin it fast enough to cut things and can burn out the engine.

I came to a decision about trimmer line, even before watching this video! My take-away from all this testing is, if you have to get down to the macro-lens level to see a difference in how your line cuts grass, then save yourself some bucks and buy whatever is cheapest, in the diameter(s) you need. Guaranteed, NO ONE is going to walk by your yard and say "Oh look, he used the wrong shape of trimmer line."
