Not quite what I hoped for, One too many memes
So last night I spent more time messing with my new Powerbot vacuum and documenting my results on video. I have to say so far the Samsung unit is not living up to my expectations based on the price. Sure, the tech features like wi-fi connectivity, app control, and Alexa compatibility (which I still can’t get working) are neat but they aren’t what makes a robotic vacuum good.
To me the things that matter with this type of device is how completely it covers an area, how good of a job it does lifting dirt and hair, how long it can go between charges and how often it gets stuck. Well when I use this scorecard, at least so far the Powerbot is not scoring so great.
My two Neato robot vacuum cleaners do a pretty good job of mapping a room and making sure that they cover the area completely. I put the Powerbot in the bedroom and let it loose. It ran around in a random way and wound up spending more time in the walk in closet than anywhere else and only cleaning about half of the area before the battery ran out of juice. The vacuum has three different suction modes and I of course was running it full throttle. If you use the lower power modes battery life should be better. The dust bin is easy to remove but on the small side, be ready to empty it often.
So anyway if you watch the review you will get a good sense of what I liked and didn’t like so far. I need to do some more research before I grant my final grade.
So this morning as I was eating breakfast I was perusing my Facebook feed and saw one of my ex-classmates posted a meme that stated you should share this is you still support the 2nd amendment after the Florida shootings. I had a number of other ex-classmates chiming in with their support, hell yea! I still have to pinch myself sometimes to see if I am really living in a world where the majority of the people I grew up with are the sweet spot of Trumpism. It seems surreal at times.
So anyway, I am so used to seeing this sort of stuff I am almost numb to it and just move on. For whatever reason this particular morning I felt the need to shine a light on just how nonsensical this idea is, that restricting ownership of assault weaponry is the first step to repealing the 2nd amendment. So I quickly punched in this:
Amazing that people just don’t understand that this has nothing to do with the second amendment. Sure keep your guns for self defense but there is no need for citizens to carry offensive assault weaponry. ZERO. When the 2nd amendment was written pretty much every weapon was a single shot variety that had a long reload procedure. I mean WTF, if we took this same standpoint on other society issues we would still have slaves, women couldn’t vote, and you would be wearing a white powdered wig. A society adjusts as new situations present themselves. Stop spreading the lie that restricting assault weaponry = repealing the second amendment. It’s utter horseshit.
As I sadly expected the response I got back didn’t address what I pointed out, it instead somehow pointed more of the blame at kids that eat Tide Pods than the ease that assault weapons can be obtained. Knowing this narrative would go nowhere I abandoned it with a renewed sense of sadness and frustration about just how embedded this disinformation is in our society. Some people actually believe that the government is going to go door to door and take their guns. No mountain of facts, figures, and legislative processes that prevent that will ever change their mind.
This weekend I hope to get to Costco to pick out eyeglasses for my distance vision. Other than that the two days should be a pretty standard set up. Next week at this time I will be on the way to get my first colonoscopy. I am anxious for that event to be over…

I enjoy a healthy debate with those who have differing opinions. By your logic freedom of speech and the press wouldn’t extend beyond spoken or written word by quill pen or perhaps printing press, as things like the internet didn’t exist at the time the constitution was written. We have assumed the writers of the constitution though intended to protect it on a much broader spectrum. Just because more advanced guns didn’t exist at the time, doesn’t mean the founding fathers didn’t envision the general population being able to arm themselves in a manner similar to which the government is able. Your, or anyone else’s reasoning as to matter of need is irrelevant. It’s never been about need, it’s a matter or constitutional right. Personally, I would fight to the last to defend against the loss of any of our constitutional rights. Not sure how you can support a ban on a certain type of gun, yet insist no one will be coming door to door to confiscate firearms? The AR15 is by far the most popular rifle in the country. Estimates are there are between 5 – 10 million of these in homes across the nation. If it is banned, what do you propose law abiding citizens are to do with all those guns? And then, what about the non-law abiding citizens?
