It's kind of terrifying how much lead this guy probably has in his bloodstream.

Not to mention all the toxic stuff he is subjecting his neighbors to. Ugh.

It is satisfying to see an iPad get smashed up, but knowing how toxic those devices are, and seeing that guy without a mask & goggles--- stupid.

That guy must be crazy. I hope all the garbage he "blends" is worth it.

:lol:

I wonder why he does it. It IS quite stupid. But how many of us don't feel at least a short temporary impulse/desire of doing just that when some of our toys give us grief? (the smashing part).

Once, after working on and off, under extreme deadline pressure, when I needed it the most, I slammed to the floor and kicked a faulty printer to the point that my left foot got bruised and couldn't walk for a few days. After some months, I still find little pieces of glass in the studio in remote corners.
At that moment I felt like a pressure cooker that needed some urgent vent!

Was it worth it? Did I feel any better afterwards? YOU BET I did! :smash:

These days I am much better now at anger management, though :)

Oooooohhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Hahaha! That's hilarious, Fernando. :lol:

It's an ad for a particular brand of expensive blenders. The pitch is if it can blend <insert object here> it is a good blender, appealing to the overkill approach to product promotion. This blender goes to 11.

They invite suggestions for other things to test the blender. My suggestion is to blend one of their blenders.

Nice extreme advertising.
But that begs the question, what the hell are people blending in their kitchens?

Then I suppose their blenders are more than enough for my Chipotle and Chile Morita sauces... Even my guacamole (they're really awesome) :oops: <----- They're very hot!

Yummy!

Pesto can defeat a cheap blender. But not sure why you'd need this. A bit like the 10,000 track sequence. Remember that?

NOW you're talking Bays!

PS: Can one blend a 10,000 track sequence? If so, would the effect be audible?

They do make a mixer. You could try that.

Nice!

At least these tests are for more realistic situations (ok, the first 2).
I LOVE the ultra slow motion! It reminded me of how impressed I was when I first saw a crash cymbal and bass strings with slomo cameras 8)

These Apple thingies are quite robust and well built.
