^ I have the top one, I wish it steamed but it doesn't. It just extracts and to be really fair, it's just a wet vacuum with the ability to warm up the solution if you use it for a long time.

If you already have a portable carpet spot cleaner that doesn't have a steam function, another consideration is using a separate handheld steam cleaner to loosen the stain / dirt before using the spot cleaner for extraction.
The steam cleaner itself is great for all kinds of surfaces and is perfect for degreasing the kitchen stove or for cleaning things without fully relying on chemicals.

Annas archive has backed up all of spotify and made it into torrents. it's 300 TB.
Anna's Archive is a massive open-source search engine and metadata index for "shadow libraries," describing itself as the largest truly open library in human history. It aims to catalog and provide access to all existing books, papers, and now music.
I have had albums that I listen to disappear from spotify. One I can't find anywhere. i do have a copy of it put playing back mp3's is kind of a pain when using a phone.

Sorry, forgot to clarify. I have a separate steamer (Bisell Powersteamer). I use that first to kinda prep or get rid of the worst dirt then use my washer (Bisell Spotclean) to finish the job. Didn't know they now come in a single package. Maybe next time if they break.

yeah so my couch hasnt been cleaned professionally in about 5 years. it's a lighter off-white/beige colour. cushions are looking pretty rough and discoloured. it needs a good deep clean.
I saw the rug doctor machines came with an upholstry attachment, which is why I thought of that.
I'd be happy to buy one something from costco and DIY but sounds like people here are saying don't bother? reviews on this seem good? https://www.costco.ca/bissell-little...000325725.html
how much is a professional cleaning? does anyone know?

Oh good let’s make musicians make even less money. That’s bound to be excellent for creativity.
You can buy digital albums on bandcamp fyi, and that money is going to artists instead of an ai weaponry company.

I still buy what I can now but, man, music as an art is almost dead. Creatively bankrupt and run over by the slop train.

My first thing to do, every paycheque when I was younger was go straight to a&b to buy 2 CDs.
I still use streaming, but make sure to buy vinyls or merch or see the band or whatever. We are cruising towards a world without art made by real humans, and it’s pathetic.

My google home got upgraded with gemini and now its very very smart. Almost too smart. Scary how good this AI has gotten, you can ask it the most obscure things and it’ll come back with a very concise and well thought out answer.
I asked if it i should buy a 200-800mm lens or a 100-500mm and it went into a big essay comparing the pros and cons. Holy shit. No wonder all the tech bros are getting fired, these things are reaching critical mass and will soon take over the world.

Which way are you leaning? 800mm on the Richmond Dyke would earn you a lot of respect and you'd have the longest.

200-800 is slightly slower but also 1500 bucks cheaper. Might also break in half if you’re not careful (how did Gemini know this too ?!?!?).
Me being a cheap fuck will buy the 200-800

Bunch of privacy boiler plate things you need to agree to before it can be upgraded. Meh Google already knows everything about me, it’ll be easy to replace me with a terminator skin suit when the time comes.
