I dated a girl in hs and she was like a magnet for situations like this lol. We got caught multiple times. We had cops catch us numerous times. Had an old man catch us once while fooling around in the car. Once we went on a hike , easily 4 miles into woods and over a mile off the trail and laid down a blanket , some fucking random guy just shows up at the worst time and interrupts. I dont believe in religion at all but something in the universe liked interrupting out kinky times.

I guess I should have been more clear. Its more about simplicity than anything else. The older stuff is def simpler for sure though.

I dont do it for a living but help friends and family out. The last few other people's washers or appliances ive worked on had something silly break and the sheer cost of replacement wasn't worth it. They both ended up buying new machines.
I do engineering for a living. I always try to design things as simple and reliable as possible because I am aware of how often poor design is the cause of an item or brand getting a bad rep. Also the saying that all moving parts eventually fail is absolutely true so minimize things that can wear out or make them beefy as hell so they at least make it awhile before breaking.

For the vacuum its a matter of budget. A used commercial vacuum is generally worth it pending price. At least if it breaks you can get parts for a little bit as they generally make the same models for a few years.

Alternatively I have bought what id call very simple no frills somewhat inexpensive vacuums for the last two ive had. If you go for one that is simple and easy to take apart and clean thats a good step in the right direction.
Dont get the auto retractable wire as its less reliable also. I bought a 70 dollar name brand vac 6 years ago and its still going strong. Mostly because its easy to maintain and cheap to fix if it does break which it hasn't yet.

Dryer i have is the model you have a stereotype picture of in your head because its been made for so long by so many sub brands its just ultra common. The parts all are real cheap other than the control board. Gas valves and ignitor are both like ten dollar parts. Ill find the current model its being sold as and link you later.

Same w the washer. Basic top loader. No frills , no fancy display just knobs for controls. The more basic you go the more reliable it tends to be. All those fancy bells and whistles are nice until they fail.

Both washer and dryer are over ten years old. If i had to guess closer to 20 yo.

I stopped listening to him long before the blatant antisemitism. You asked for opinions after all and my opinion is that hes never been all that talented. Also I'm tired of people stating hes a "genius" because lets be real he most certainly is not even in the same hemisphere as people who actually are geniuses. Anyone who says he is one is just literally repeating his self proclamation of genuis level intelligence. Even if you look only at his work and use that to judge his intelligence its average at best. The man has literally done nothing to change music in any way. So my opinion is hes an average at best musician with an ego problem , narcissistic traits , likely a personality disorder and the inability to self relfect on his God awful mental health. He will continue doing all of this because dumbasses go around supporting him still and nobody is willing to tell this overgrown child he needs a time out in a psych ward and to fucking take his meds.

If you genuinely care about this guy ( you shouldn't , hes just a celebrity and nothing more ) you should start explaining the reality of this guy's shit behavior to everyone who you meet who says they are fans. His behavior is unacceptable and his music is fucking mediocre as hell. Ive been around plenty of people with mental health issues my entire life. This guy needs help or he's gonna end up hurting himself or starting a fight with someone he shouldn't.
