The Vitamix is just a motor and a rheostat of some sort. Pretty sure it will last and if it breaks I bet I can fix it faster than shipping it in.

Most definitely.

Being made in America doesn't hurt either

Not in marketing though

The Blend Tec Youtube videos are pretty entertaining for someone who has never seen them before. Very good marketing.

There's no use for a blender in our apartment, but we have one. I live with 3 other college students, and frozen foods and hamburger helper dominate our diets. The only time that thing got used was after one of our buddies got his jaw broken and was making chicken noodle soup.

As noted earlier, the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were peeved that their state university has banned the song "From Dixie With Love" because they actually believe the South will somehow rise again. So ten dudes in hoods stood on the steps of Fulton Chapel before the LSU game on Saturday and shouted things like "white power"—only no one could hear them because they were outnumbered by 250 people booing and calling them idiots and cowards.

If they are so proud of themselves and their color, why are they always hiding in robes and hoods?

In addendum to that:

If they are so smart, why did they stage a white power rally at a university where minorities make up 90% of the undergraduate population?

Had no decent tool than could take it. Borrowed one from the neighbor, with 3ft pipe, bingo.

One more thing I need to buy...some decent sockets.

BCS hires former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, figuring he's got lots of experience putting a positive face on stupid, unpopular schemes designed by idiots with bad ideas

Well we also need to realize the "white boy" is the minority very soon, if not already.

The Vitamix spins fast enough you can put raw veggies and cold water into it and end up with near boiling broth in less than 5 minutes.

Oh and smoothies ftw

We only have one...that I'll eat at. Homemade is the only other choice for me.

I'm up to 40 minutes of cardio per session, knee seems all but healed now, ankle's almost there. Just need to shed the excess poundage I gained while in the wheelchair and I should be able to transition back to the treadmill

All non-white combined still only make up 25-34% last I checked

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

current projections say White only will become the minority sometime around 2040-2050

[///M5 2,833]

Wow, some serious work in that

Just left a voicemail for engineering at Eminence. Funny for me to make that call.

I need a high efficiency tweeter than can play from 20kHz up to as high as possible. 40kHz minimum. And yes, I will never ever listen to the tweeter just using it to excite structures for doing damping testing and defect analysis.
