Thanks Ants posted:If he'd employed a decorator they would probably have moved the furniture without damaging the LVT floor. And anyway, a hard floor in a bedroom? Carpets overall are very rare in houses anymore. Constantly need to clean, add in a pet and it gets worse. Multiple people in the house, even worse. A throw or area rug to help deaden the echo/reverb is about the most you get anymore.

EngineerJoe posted:Linus mentioned on the wan show that he got extremely mad at Denis and Colton because they damaged his bedroom floor while moving his bed so they could repaint his bedroom wall. Not just using a mansion for content, but using a camera operator and writer(?) as your movers/decorators. If you're going to do that, then don't get mad when poo poo ends up damaged!

Using a wet swiffer infrequently is easier than vacuuming. Besides a quick mop every now and then it's mostly just doing a quick sweep with a broom. Even with our tiny Dyson guy vacuuming is still more of a chore. And the broom is always charged hardwood > carpet. I mean you get to pick a rug which is more fun

It has nice chimes, it looks good, the way the bread slowly raises and lowers into the toaster is peaceful. It's like buying a microwave with a soft-close door. It's toast, not an automated omelet station.

njsykora posted:For $500 I'd expect my toaster to also make omelettes. no no, 400 dollars if you only buy one, if you do the much more reasonable thing and buy several 400 dollar toasters it costs more of course. but really but once you get locked into a serious toaster collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can

Just saying that these people shouldn't be judging how people spend their money outside of factors unrelated to core functionality:  Please note: It's poo poo but buy it anyways if you like the gold color:

Something having a “cool” design on it and a 2x price tag is not exactly shocking. Wait until you guys find out about Jordans.

well why not posted:Something having a “cool” design on it and a 2x price tag is not exactly shocking. Wait until you guys find out about Jordans. It's just kind of rich from the home of buying RGB RAM and computer cases with giant windows so you can see the video card that you paid $500 over MSRP for slightly higher frame rates in a video game for spending thirty minutes dunking on a toaster that is clearly a frivolous luxury item bought for reasons outside of bread toasting, it's not like buying RAM with RGB is in any way justifiable. Like, it's not a predatory MLM toaster scam, it makes toast, it's fancy, I assure you that the vast majority of the people buying these toasters are not making financial sacrifices to do so and that the money would have otherwise gone to another luxury kitchen good like a $250 Le Creuset dutch oven.

Well yeah, the video ends off with Sarah saying it's an OK toaster, but looks cool and feels nice. RGB RAM performs the same as non-RGB, but looks cool and is 'nice'. Their waterbottles have a certain look that is worth (to some people) more than the plain, generic versions. I think the root issue is that aesthetics are intangible and difficult to assign a value to.

SA is the home of RGB-filled vanity PC builds? That's news to me. Seems to me we have a culture of urging practicality and seeking good values. And most of the poo poo you're saying isn't equivalent to buying a "luxury toaster" with a touch screen control system that's more difficult to use than a normal control system.

RGB memory adds like ten percent to the cost of the memory in most cases, also we usually advise against it anyways because that money can still be spent better elsewhere, also they add another layer of software and another thing to go wrong, also their height can interfere with good tower coolers, also what the gently caress?

I really appreciate Alec just looking at home appliances in addition to the usual technology stuff. It makes you sound like a dork when you're like "no i swear the best toaster is something you've never heard of" and you sound crazy when you're like "and it's a kitchenaid from the 50s but you can buy a new one at your store it just costs extra" but then it just loving works*. *just don't take his advice on dishwasher detergent

Hell for the price of that touchscreen toaster you could buy TWO (2) backpacks from LTT STORE DOT CUUUUUUUM!!!?! Lighting just one of them on fire could toast as many slices of bread as you could throw at it until you put it out and exchange it for a new one via the "just trust us" warranty.

i do not know where this slander is coming from that the toaster costs five hundred dollars. that's completely loving ridiculious i mean five hundred loving dollars for a toaster? do you have more money than sense. no no, this toaster costs a mere $399.95 - i've been saying 400 god even i have understated the value.

Why not there's three technology connections videos that go something like: -you've been using too much detergent in your dishwasher! -no wait I was wrong use this much instead -no wait I was wrong again use the original amount instead instead like credit to him for researching and owning his mistakes and it's funny but it's also just something funny to point at

Technology Connections is pretty much the prototype of a youtuber who speaks with clarity and confidence about things he doesn't understand, with just enough research done to fool you into thinking he might. He's done some interesting videos, but god drat he is wrong a LOT.

like it's only 11.76 per bread type the toaster supports. people don't understand the cost is significantly increased by the associated applied bread research.

A lotta y'all just don't get bread. Loaf owners can use multiple toasts on a slice So if you have one wheat slice and three toast settings...
