  • While vacuum cleaners might feel like a modern invention, their roots can actually be traced back to the 1800s. Specifically, in 1860, Daniel Hess of West Union, Iowa, invented a device he called a “carpet sweeper.” The apparatus used a combination of bellows for suction and a rotating brush for gathering dust. And while yes if all you have is a hard wood floors the need for a vacuum is diminished but is still helpful. And what is useless for one person is helpful to another. Now there is interesting stories on how the Dyson came around to sell such an expensive vacuum.






  • There was something I heard about why talking on the phone is more dangerous than talking with someone in the car. One of the reasons was that while someone is talking to you in the car they know when to stop talking when the situation causes for the drivers attention. While a phone conversation the person on the other end has no clue clue of the situation in the car.

    You have to go get a specialized company to make it look this way it does not come like this. Is the f150 ridiculous yes. But this truck is a far cry from an f150. It’s like saying an f150 is equal to a flat bed tow truck or an international bobtail. F150 cost ~37,000 vs f650 cost ~70,000 and that comes with only the cab,nothing on the back where the bed would go.

    These 2 trucks are not comparable because they are for 2 different markets.
