It's sad isnt it? Capitalism and consumerism requires a constant revolving door of customers, especially return customers via "forced retention" of broken products. The West should push quality to the world and make it an intentional promotion of "quality that lasts and is guaranteed for x amount of years" etc.

In fact, appliances decades ago lasted for decades, instead of 5 or so years and then break as they do today. They just make crap now.
The bottom line is, things are designed to break so as to create more revenue for these corporations. They can build them to last, but don't.
In fact, I can't tell you how many items I have bought that break days after their warranty was up. Such precise engineering is as impressive as it is maddening to know that they are using their intellect to rob you of every dime they can.
IF they started to build things to last, which they have demonstrated in the past they can, would it kill the economy or make it stronger? Obviously, not throwing things away constantly would help save natural resources and not contaminate the environment as much as it does.
Yes, it's true.
My grandparents also had a hamburger/hot dog/ ice cream/milk shake/soda pop "stand" and they had the exact same ice cream scoops and milk shake machines as in your photos! Thanks for posting it! I remember moving it back and forth to get it well mixed, especially when you'd add some malt in it. Malted mild shake.One of my grandmothers had an ice cream soda fountain place I still have one of her ice cream scoops, I also still had one of her milk shake machines
Mine has the "jack" but I have to plug in either the earplugs or the charger - not both at the same time.

If so....."what a fascinating and modern age we live in".
Sure it does. It's called a USB-C port. (In some older models without a 3.5mm port it may be a MicroUSB port [Andriod] or Lightning port [iPhone].)
Yes, I even supplied pictures.

Thanks, just ordered.
I have two brand new sets of earphones that I could not use.
Yeah, back in the day the wife would have me take her to a specialty shop at an upscale NOtVA mall (Tysons) because they had a shop just for tall women....She's 6'-2".
Do I need to tell you you are wrong or can you figure it out yourself?
So, you're saying that I am lying? That's nice.
