Teen uses fridge to tweet after phone confiscated

$120 for that? ; you got robbed.

a decent manual toothbrush is just as good for a tiny fraction the price. those commercials that claim electric toothbrushes clean better than manual brushes (like the claim on that package that says removes 300% more plaque) is largely, if not entirely, marketing BS. because if you don't half-ass brushing your teeth with a decent manual brush, which is not hard to do, it does just as good of a job.

at the very least... the price premium for a electric brush is not worth it over a decent manual brush when they clean pretty much the same and manual brush are much cheaper.

I guess there might be occasions where someones wrist or something is messed up, in which case I could possibly see opting for a electric brush, but short of these situtations, a manual brush is the all-around better option.

p.s. I think it's the same situation with those high priced electric razors (say those around $100)... they are not worth it as, unless you happen to have facial hair that the shaver does not like etc(?), you can get one of those more standard, well priced, electric shavers that save one a bunch $ and work well for years. hell, I have a Philips Norelco 7345XL shaver and had it 9 years (since early 2010) and it still works well on the ORIGINAL shaving head even though they recommend changing the shaving head I think it was once every 1-2 years, but I see no reason to as it still shaves well. the only reason I got another shaver not long ago (in June 2019) is due to better battery life as I changed to a Philips Norelco PQ208(which runs on two AA's which is a big bonus(I use Eneloop which are rechargeable NiMH AA's and are THE best for NiMh batteries)), which is marketed as a travel shaver, but I use it as my standard shaver (takes 5min or so, maybe 10min tops, to give a smooth to the touch shave. once I used a rotary shaver (which was in early 2010) I won't go back to a manual razor), and it's less than $20 online, and I suspect it will easily last me many years (it's warrantied for 2 years) on the original shaving head to and I can get plenty of shaves on it before needing to recharge my Eneloop NiMh batteries (two AA's) I put in it (the Philips PQ208 is rated at 1 hour of battery which I feel is pretty close either way). but the battery in my previous 7345XL shaver (which is not user serviceable) since it's got plenty of recharge cycles on it, I could only get 1 shave on it, or less than 2, before needing to recharge. but with my current PQ208 model I can get AT LEAST 5+ shaves minimum for a conservative figure, but probably something around double that depending on how much of a perfectionist one is with their shave quality (I tend to go for the smooth to the touch before I am done which takes a bit more time). I tend to recharge my Eneloop's before they are fully dead because given my testing it seems to drain the batteries more than normal empty (I tested this by discharging my Eneloop's in my C9000 charger and then put them into the shaver and it still works. hence, the shaver drains the batteries beyond normal empty) if you let it etc. so, after looking into voltage of the Eneloop's with my voltage meter and my usage patterns, I just re-charge it about once every 1-2 weeks to be safe and I typically shave with it once every 2-3 days at probably a solid 10min shave time (as I am a bit of a perfectionist) per shave (although if one is less of a perfectionist you can still get a solid shave in around 5 minutes). but basically since I can use regular AA batteries in my shaver, and since I can use Eneloops, ill have great battery life for years and years as even if I have to change out the two Eneloop's once in a great while, it will be a easy swap and it's only about $5 for two Eneloop AA's and the battery life will be like new again. but with Eneloop's ill likely get years out of it before ill have to change them out as even if you figure one charge per week (which is probably at the most), that's about 52 charges a year and those batteries will easily go well beyond that before they start to fizzle out which means, conservatively, I should get AT LEAST 1-2 years out of those Eneloop's in my Philips PQ208 before needing to change them out for fresh batteries. hell, since they last so long on a single charge, even if the batteries start to get semi-worn out, they will still last a while before needing a recharge.
