I have a new 2nd hand vacuum.. to replace an old Dyson vacuum that was seriously unwell but had served me many years. The new model you would think is super-duper better... a vast improvement.. but I find it cumbersome in some ways, and awkward to use and it keeps hitting me in the shins with something that sticks out at the back.. I wondered if *they* are so busy telling us that everything is better, more efficient, better designed but actually things are less well designed but we all believe they hype? less

I am astounded that some of his insights were truly ahead of his time.. but on other things he seems appallingly ill-informed. This makes me wonder whether I am wrong to find some of the things he says remarkable and wonderful... What's your general experience on things like this?

US President Donald Trump mocked a supporter for being overweight at a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday night, after mistaking him for a protester trying to disrupt the event.
"That guy has got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising," he said.
The man, Frank Dawson, a former police officer and Navy veteran, took the insult in his stride, telling Fox News: "Everything's good. I love the guy."
A report by a White House doctor in February found the president is clinically obese, though in good health.

After the streak I would put my clothes on then go back in the bar - sometimes they would kick me out but sometimes someone would buy me a beer so I found it fun and profitable. I included a link to the song that got me started in the streaking craze.
