Stupid Vacuum

[AlotLikePsyche]

Cleaners are far cheaper in the short term, infinitely less work, good company if you are lucky, and might even be sexy.

I like the way you think.

Sounds like most of you live in a pigsty.

I just bought my first vacuum. It took me like an hour and half to pick one because I don’t even want a stupid vacuum. Vacuums are loud. And heavy. And expensive. And I’m pretty sure people with vacuums vacuum a lot more than people without vacuums. So there’s that. I’m probably gonna become one of those people who vacuum like every week now. Great. What a nightmare. And on top of it being expensive, and heavy and loud, something will definitely get stuck in it and then I’ll have to take it all apart to clean it and put it back together again and I won’t know how to do it right and none of the parts will fit because it’s a vacuum and it’s stupid and it’s basically required by law to be complicated and difficult and loud and heavy and I’m an idiot so I probably already threw the instructions away, so it’s just gonna be a big dusty-dirty stupid mess and I’m definitely gonna hate it.

TL;DR - vacuums suck.

I imagine you vacuum the Lakehouse daily, Beloved Lance.

ERs know all about what sex-starved men do with Vacuum cleaners.

Darn it. I definitely would have bought the hot pink vacuum if they’d had one.

She’s a talented actress. She makes vacuuming look super fun.

So wise in the ways of giving handjobs...

So experienced in how to use the OTHER end of the vacuum.

This seems odd to me. I vacuum daily.

Useless fact: EU regulations have reduced the maximum power of vacuums that can be sold in Europe.

We're all getting dirtier - until after Brexit.

There is a black market in the UK selling powerful vacuum cleaners - either secondhand or illegally imported.

First came push-type carpet sweepers, with rotating brushes to scoop up dust and particles. Adding powered air took a strange turn; they blew, not sucked. Blow dirt and shit around, you bet. That design needed tweaking. Have any guys here tried a reverse vacuum? Me neither.

Cleaning has now become a criminal operation. What is this world coming to?

We didn't learn from the US's experience with 18th Amendment prohibition.

It isn't just vacuum cleaners. Garden weedkillers are now useless because so many effective chemicals are banned by EU regulations.

But Brexit!

 

[oggbashan]

But Brexit!

Exactly. We will be able to buy powerful vacuum cleaners!

(The regulations were introduced at the insistence of German vacuum cleaner manufacturers because Dyson was producing better, more powerful, products.)

Unfortunately, during the transition period until 2020, and possibly beyond if we sign up to a trade agreement with the EU, powerful vacuum cleaners will still be banned.

Dyson is concentrating on more powerful cordless handheld vacuums. They are less powerful than the EU maximum, but more effective than the German products...

Put those stupid vacuum cleaners on the Bell curve.

But... They're already on the Dark Web. You can buy them with BitCoin.

A relative gave me $500usd in BC for my birthday, told me to save it till it trebles.

Today it's worth about $300.

Vacuum is a whole different animal. A lot of work can be done with a simple oil-sealed rotary unit. If pumping water vapor, be sure the vac is equipped with a gas ballast and know how to use it.

You could always try a weed blower to see how reverse vacuum would work

 

[silver gurl]

Which do you do first? Vacuum than dust? Or dust than vacuum?
