Is it just me or does finding something like that make you wonder what else we threw away that was actually better? My neighbor was cleaning out his pop's basement last spring and found one of those old metal hand-cranked eggbeaters from the 50s. The thing weighed like 5 pounds and looked like it could survive a nuclear blast. He tried it making scrambled eggs and said it whipped them up so fluffy you could eat them with a fork no problem. Meanwhile his $40 electric mixer from Target smokes after 3 months of light use. Makes you think maybe we got sold on fancy new stuff that's actually worse.

My buddy Dan found his grandpa's old Coleman camp stove in a barn. Thing looked like it survived a tornado but that stove cooked bacon and eggs in 5 minutes flat with no issues. His new $200 propane stove can't even simmer right without a fuss.

Skip the cheap services, many small landlords just run a basic background through the county courthouse for free.

So he got defensive after you turned down his hot sauce offer? Was he like actually mad you wouldn't work for free, or just embarrassed he thought that was a fair trade?

Dude, that exact same thing happened to me with an old Dell.
