Good buy. It works with your phone and alexa too. So you can set it to clean and dock whenever you want. You can also set it on a schedule like the night. Is that a vacuum cleaner? If so I think this is genius. I have hard flooring throughout and problem w/ cats tracking the litter from the litter box onto the flooring. My flooring is rather dark so it sticks out provoking my OCD. I can't help but vacuum a dozen times a day. This is a wonderful solution if a vacuum cleaner. Please tell me this is a vacuum cleaner and post me a link!

The cool price vs features intersection is one step below the flagship. Roomba I7 ($799) www.amazon.com/iRobot-Roomba-7550-Wi-Fi-Connecte/dp/B07GNPDMRP/This unit empties the dirt out. Recharges itself. And maps out the home. Does pet hair. There's cheaper versions like the Roomba e5 at $300. The main noticeable difference is that it doesn't empty the dirt out and a less sophisticated nav system (which still does the job). Also none of the roombas will fall off stairs. They are designed not to get tangled on cords.

We've had a Roomba since the first model. We now have one of the top models. They do a great job deep cleaning carpet but not up against walls. Wish they could do stairs. The original went around the room much better than the newer one. The current unit has trouble every time it goes between the rocking chair legs that is near a wall. It can never find its way out. They will sometimes get stuck going under a bureau. BEWARE !

Reminds me of some of the research and development happening in military land prototypes of A.I. drones some 15 yrs or so ago. In an exercise a drone came upon a tree and stopped at the base of the obstacle. Some hour or so later an amazing thing happened. Stunned, people observed as the drone went around the tree. I imagine today that is still happening only the drone that confronts an obstacle is networking and updating all the other drones on the battlefield of not only a location but a solution.

I am a military vet. Ha, the vest is real convenient for the outdoor gun range. Holds a dozen or so mags at once and has a holster too. I consider the right to bear arms a preventative measure. Only a crazy person w/ hostile intent would set foot in an armed citizen's house. Even more crazier is another nation w/ hostile intent setting foot on U.S. soil against a well armed Peoples. Peace through strength! Amen! I apologize for not thanking you earlier! 😢 Thank you sir for your service to our country!

Now I can listen to the HD6xx in 3 rooms in the house! (I may need a 2nd pair for upstairs).
I can see how this headphone thing is addicting.

I am a former US Army Military Police Captain and Vietnam Veteran. I don't wear a vest like that for everyday personal protection. However, I do concealed carry a very small lightweight revolver with government permit everywhere I go that is permissible by law. There are way too many nuts out there, especially in the Sanctuary Seattle area where I live. I hope it is never necessary but someday I might save another person's life or my own in a potentially deadly situation. There is not a more responsible person on this planet than this Nut. Amen #2 On the topic of my latest purchase just like to say: Thank you for your service, Chuckie! I served as a former F-16 Crew Chief for the 363rd Tactical Fighter Wing in the 90s. Our [U.S. military] rules of engagement were quite different than in Vietnam which were at times ~ blurred. I think all rules of engagement should be explicitly based on the principles of "Just War Theory", however, for example, look at the incident in Somalia where the movie Black Hawk Down depicted the rule of engagement at that time which were "Do not fire unless fired upon". Later as "heaven storm'n unrestrained", that is, when Desert Shield rolled into Desert Storm under General Storming Norman the Air Force pounded from above mercilessly for near month and ground forces operated under quite different rules of engagement, "We will not differentiate between terrorist and those that harbor them". Such compelled friendlys into action rather than allowing hostiles in their midst as in Somalia when hostile militants fired towards U.S. soldiers from within friendly crowds using them as an effective shield. I bring this up because you shared a hostile presence w/in Washington or Seattle as we were made aware of the Chop or "No go zones" recently. Idaho, my state where I reside of last July began arming the People in such a way that concealed carry permits are no longer required [explicitly and officially]. An Idaho citizen only needs pass a background check to carry by any preference. This seemingly has been an effective measure in sustaining the peace as various "rioters" have tried to cross over from Washington to the upper North of Idaho. In every example I'm aware of peace has been maintained. Whether this policy has been effective I yield back to popular opinion. All I am aware of is that various hostile organized rioters were met by Idaho militia groups and armed citizens. I have only lived here for near two years. Now an Idaho state citizen and perm resident. The most spectacular and surprising incident I witnessed here was during the CV-19 lock down. When the lock down was ordered by the Governor, in response militia groups emptied civilian converted military transports and peacefully demonstrated right outside the Capitol building while heavily armed as a "gentle" reminder to the Governor to step cautiously and "Do not tread on me" an allusion to the American 1775 battle cry for Independence. I grew up back East and after the service moved to Washington state [Olympia] where I resided for 18 yrs. Married and moved to California for 8 yrs in which the last 3 and 1/2 yrs I was researching the most desirable place for my family to move. Idaho is the most beautiful state I've ever lived in the U.S. There's something about the Conservative/Christian culture here that makes this place special. Can't go ten blocks in my city w/out running into a church where it seems one is established on every corner. People here seemingly live peaceable quite lives. If ever in the area of Nampa Idaho Chuckie please hit me up so we can have a coffee or a drink on me. Always a pleasure to meet and listen to a Vietnam Vet. An era and war I was fortunate enough to not be of age to serve in, that is, if avoiding the suffering at that time is a desirable quality by which I glean from history. Much honor and respect for the sacrifices you and family have made in our service , Sir. Enjoy, William P.S. The phrase or term "sanctuary city" in modern usage is an interesting topic to me. Concerning the etymology of the phrase from a Christian perspective such cities were a refuge for convicts. Designated areas victims, family of victims, etc could not go into w/ vengeance. That is, as long as those convicts remained in the sanctuary city and while at the time the head priest remained alive it was "a no go zone" for law abiding citizens. It was in the best interest of felons to keep the high priest alive which atoned for their sins! At that time, the law compelled the people to enact justice w/ no blood guilt on their heads when the death penalty was carried out. I'm a Viet Nam vet, infantry. Carried an M60 my entire tour. Rules of engagement were very blurred, many times ignored and most times confusing. The big issue was that the Vietnamese didn't play by the same or any rules of engagement. Their engagement rule was to kill American GIs. Understandable and no hard feelings. We were at war. I was fortunate to have a platoon leader who thought like most of our platoon did. We will defend each other at any cost so we can all go home. I brought that same mentality back. My wife ad I have had our CCLs for many years. I will defend and protect my family, myself and anyone else if ever needed. I pray I never have to but I will if needed.

Blu Ray + 2 CD's Is this similar to the Live in Melbourne blu-ray? Audio quality? Are the CD's the same music track as the blu-ray except in 2.0 pcm?

This is the first concert offering including Deacon Frey and Vince Gill as the newest Eagles. The rest of the band is the same as on Farewell Tour 1 and perform many of the same songs with some others thrown in. Deacon Frey does a good job with a few songs that his father sang and Vince Gill performs the best version of Take it to the Limit since Randy Meisner. I will give the edge to FT1 with regard to sound quality as the higher frequencies seem a little muted compared to FT1 but it's not bad. It's still an enjoyable concert for me.

Just put my order in with Jon over at Chane Cinema and Music Never heard of them before. Just Googled them and they're literally the next town over from me, about 40 miles away. Though on their site, they don't show the speakers you posted above.

Though on their site, they don't show the speakers you posted above. They are doing a pre-release right now, I had to send Jon a PM to get pricing and he sends you a hidden link to add them to your cart, they also have another series called the L series coming out shortly that he has a list built for people wanting to get in on them forum.chanemusiccinema.com/forum/chane-music-cinema/chane-700-series/114403-the-new-chane-700-seriesforum.chanemusiccinema.com/forum/chane-music-cinema/loudspeakers/6524-chane-l-series-interest-thread-and-listI owned the older version of the newer A5.5 they were the second gen the A5rx-c and they were fantastic speakers, I'm really excited to try the 700 series, it's a speaker unlike anything I have owned before which really has me intrigued. Get on the forum and send Jon a PM, maybe you can swing by there and listen to some stuff, I know I would if I could but I'm a few thousand miles away lol, but who knows with this Covid pandemic he may not ?. Though I'm pretty sure he is in Nevada and the warehouse is in Florida. Chad

I hope you are in some kind of armed forces or police. Otherwise I feel for the US if citizens feel the need to adorn this kind of serious armory! I am a military vet. Ha, the vest is real convenient for the outdoor gun range. Holds a dozen or so mags at once and has a holster too. I consider the right to bear arms a preventative measure. Only a crazy person w/ hostile intent would set foot in an armed citizen's house. Even more crazier is another nation w/ hostile intent setting foot on U.S. soil against a well armed Peoples. Peace through strength! Sorry if this a little way off topic: Apologies for my naivety and many sincere thanks to you and all of those that have served. I feel very lucky to live in Australia a country allied with the US that has benefited from it's strength in past conflicts. Things are very different here. We have very few arms, I don't even know anyone who owns a gun, nor do I know anyone who has been killed or injured by one and I'm 52. Its a different world. I cant begin to imagine what it must feel like to need a gun in everyday life. Peace be with you all!

I cant begin to imagine what it must feel like to need a gun in everyday life. Peace be with you all! I understand what you mean and actually conveyed. For example, our allied relationship, I can't imagine having to wait for Austraila or the French to come to our rescue should foreign hostile boots ever hit our soil. History is a great resource in order to avoid repeating past mistakes. No rush, "We" got this 😉 Lastly, the greatest murder weapon isn't even guns in the U.S. A far greater weapon is behind the murder of over three thousand innocent lives each day in the U.S. alone which surpasses the nation's yearly capital death rate every day. If you're wishing to discuss this more I'm available through Private Messaging. Enjoy

I picked up a bunch of socket savers And some Raytheons... I think you're going to really like those Raytheon tubes. I think the only difference between those and my Baldwin versions is yours has the side getters and mine are on top. And you're also going to appreciate those socket savers as well.
