I stumbled upon something called a Seiko melodies in motion. I've never wanted a $500 clock before until I saw this thing. A ####oo clock or grandfather clock are like, whatever, but the melodies in motion clock is kinda whimsical and magical.

Turbo fans are awesome. There's so many uses for them.

I don't think blowing down a whole car will be enjoyable, but blowing down the side mirrors and small windows/weird gaps for certain rear windows to get rid of water spots is a good use for it.

Better yet, blow down the dashboard, console and seats with it.

Anything where dust settles, you can grab the fan and just give it a good blast and then blow the dust towards a smaller area to clean up.

Sure, but that dust just settles elsewhere. So, a small but powerful vacuum cleaner working simultaneously is needed. Or as they say, a good blow and suck action at the same time.

Nah. I typically aim the direction of the air out of the car. So I open the doors/windows and blow the crumbs and dust in the direction of out of the car. No need for vacuum. I'd rather combine my efforts for the turbo fan with a Swiffer 360.

Same as in the house. I'll use it to dislodge dust from somewhere but I do it just before I was going to vacuum that area anyways, so it's not that much extra work.

It's especially satisfying to get stuff out of the corners/ceiling and lights. Like blowing the dust off from the the stairs/ in the corners where the vacuum cannot reach and just vacuuming the pile of dust that accumulates at the bottom of the stairs/further from the wall.

I also use the turbo fan to clear out the filters in the vacuum so that it leaves less dust behind after I vacuum.

I'd cancelled prime but then they gave me 30 days free. I bought a couple of dumb things like unbleached aeropress filters and luggage lol. Now I feel dirty

Saved 100% by not buying anything.
Made up for it with a trip to Costco.
Now I have 10 years supply of garlic.
Will keep friends family and vampiros away.

I got a diamond cutting disc for my Dremel that was significantly cheaper than Home Depot . I’m going to try my hand at a new tile backsplash. Also a magnet fishing kit. I’m going to find all your lost lures and stolen bikes and discarded crime weapons lol.

I remembered Project Farm did a video testing these fan things a while back so checked it out and that one is his top recommended one so I ended up ordering it too.

Bought an Apple watch for 26% off (legit, checked the Apple website) and then Amazon proceeded to block my card and cancel the purchase because "purchasing Apple items on Amazon is unusual and possibly fraudulent"
