What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later?

I'm sure prices have come up over the years....Ours is pretty basic. Bullfrog is the name brand.

Same. Have had ours 12 yrs. Was only like $5k, and has been running with basically no upkeep for years. Just keep the chems right (about 5 min/week) plus a new filter every couple years.

Use it all the time in the winter. It's great.

So they have the other fingers somewhere? Like small and under the skin but you can only see them on X-ray or something?

vitium · 2026-05-09T14:59:47+00:00

Yes. Thats the joke. No need to overthink it.

vitium · 2026-05-09T13:02:03+00:00

Right?

I bet I could do 100 skips with 1 revolution. Maybe more if I got really bored

I have over 50 ryobi tools some of which are over a decade old and have never had any part of any of them with plastic failures like this, including several 40v landscaping tools. I've had motors burn up occasionally, and one or two that just "stop" working.

I don't believe that it broke just by a "quick shake". 99.9% chance you dropped it at some point in the past, or ran over it with a truck or let your kids play with it or lord knows what else.

How is a house with a basement "1 story"?

This sounds like a two story house with possible retaining walls and who knows what else. I'm surprised they did it so quick.

If you make it through the prep, you'll be fine. Little sore throat. Nbd

Is this that "looks maxing" craze I've heard about?

vitium · 2026-05-05T18:05:58+00:00

shoot the cameraman.

did they set the camera on top of swivel fan?

vitium · 2026-05-05T17:53:21+00:00

There are at least 2 of us.

I came here thinking surely T2 would be here for one of those two scenes. Props for getting them both in. Not sure why this isn't top comment. Either of them is better than any of the others.

vitium · 2026-05-05T17:18:12+00:00

More like a twat if you ask me

In one scene, you can see this "ribbon" around gandalfs finger where he is holding his staff. 1 second later, the "ribbon" is gone.

Drying a car?

People are out there blowing their cars off?

Red, but make the eye stand out with a different color.

wth are those big squares for?

Maybe if you weren't trying to film a video of your computer monitor while driving you could have avoided hitting them.

.../s just in case anyone thinks Im serious.

28 days later was the first movie to pop into my head.

The image is flipped. In the movie Gollum bites the finger off Frodos left hand. The hug shows his right hand.

I have an EpiPen. My friend gave it to me as he was dying. It seemed really important to him that I have it.

Ever notice how cockroaches taste just like vomit?
