I recently read that, at least in the 1990s, that PCs sold as "new" frequently used second-hand parts.
My questions
I'm watching someone use a chainsaw from a distance; he's facing away from me, so the saw's spitting out sawdust in my direction. Starting to wonder...why does the dust go backward? Here's a chainsaw, with its blade going left and the dust spitting out to the right.
C¯¯¯¯¯Ɔ█████__________
Why doesn't it go down, or up, or sideways? It makes sense to say that the dust gets carried along by the teeth on the chain, but then why doesn't it continue to get carried around the chain until it reaches the wood again (and then go down, along the piece of wood), or if it falls off the teeth when it comes to the bend, why doesn't it fall off sooner, or at least keep going a little ways and deviate elsewhere along the line somewhere?
