Here’s something more shocking: While we’re all debating the pressing issue of [insert current debate], let’s not forget the far more pressing matters like the fact that burning brown coal kills 32.72 people per terawatt-hour of electricity. But hey, priorities, right?

I dunno how many vacuum cleaners I’ve scrapped for free from damn near everywhere and 90% of them only have a mega clogged hose. 5 minute fix usually and I made my own skookum twisted wire reamer in 5 minutes with wire and a drill. People throw away good stuff without bothering with it and just buy a new one instead of saving themselves time and money by eliminating the obvious. If a vacuum design gets too complex, I simplify with sheetrock screws. Warranties are made to be broken by making it work yourself. The things you learn that way also helps other areas in life all around.
