Goddamn Dyson.

I remember about 20 or more years ago when he first started marketing his stupid cyclone vacuum cleaners. They advertised it as never losing suction power, like a hoover does when the bag is almost full. My dad, being the technophile that he is, had to have one. Never losing suction power isn't a big sell when there is barely any to begin with. It couldn't lift cigarrette butts off the tile floor of the bar.

It got locked up in the attic along with the excercise bike and the fondue pot.

Dyson is not a genius. I hate to bring politics in here but what sort of buisinessman who relied on exports supported brexit? He could have failed his way into Elon Musks shoes if circumstances were different.

You aren't wrong. I've found that for every advanced feature Dyson products have, there is some basic feature that they lack because of their minimalist design.

The knockoff one I have with reusable cups is pretty ace.

they buy audio equipment the way magpies look for nest material
almost always drop like $1-2500 on speakers, $800-1000 on amp, $300 on placebo cables, then do poo poo like put them straight on a pc desk in the corner of a too-small, untreated room, or set up a 7.1 home theater w/ a 1200w 15" floor sub placed under their tv they sit 7ft away from and don't realize that it sounds like hot fuckin dog poo poo every time lol

my favorite part is wehn their friends on a message board convince them that what they hear isn't really what they should be hearing because the protons are flowing the "wrong way".

I have one of those at work in the office, it was there when I moved in. It's fine, like I guess it's quiet and it moves air, but I'm sure it cost the moon at the time and it's not appreciably better than any other fan.

Quoting myself from a wrestling dreams thread re: Benoit

Marcade posted:

Shortly after Benoit, I dreamed that rather than killing himself, he took a Raw hostage and said that if nobody in the back could beat him, he'd blow up the arena and everyone in it. Everyone in the back tried and failed to beat him and suddenly Eddie's music hits. Benoit was like "Eddie? But you died!" to which Eddie replied "I lied, ese!" and frog splashed Benoit into Hell.

Mine did for the big poo poo like tubas or bassoons or baritones.

I played trombone but bought mine off my elementary school gym teacher. It was pretty good until a clumsy-rear end shithead fell on it before a marching band competition :argh:

Just lack of manual dexterity? Tone deaf and couldn't hear you were playing the wrong notes? I'm trying to imagine failing to play recorder on the level of an elementary schooler and I just can't.

I played tuba and did attempt to fire objects out of it

We were unsuccessful in our attempts but we did bust up one of the tubas really bad and pinned the blame on the kids in shop class next door, which resulted in a year long feud between the band director and the coach that ran that class that was pretty funny

It was actually a completely different clumsy-rear end shithead.

I was only a clumsy-rear end shithead because I'd fall during a marching band show once a year, but I had the decency to admit it and also the sheer luck to fall in ways that never got caught on camera.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
I had a beautiful sparkly brand new euphonium that I bought in 12th grade to play in the band. I also played in the city's university concert band while in high school even though I kind of sucked.

Sold it to go to college, which took all my money and I've been dirt poor ever since.
