http://www.buzzfeed.com/virginiahughes/vitamix-blenders-spin-off-shards-of-teflon-but-its-probably#.al0VdM4l6p

About the Vitamix black dust defect which Your very own TP4  was the  1st person on the internet to have exposed..

Starting from the slickdeals page

Now if only they would talk to us about keyboards.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Geekhack will go to the NEXT level.

At this point.. We're essentially the USA authority on everything Keyboard..


However, because our female participation is low.. People just hit and run..

You don't want a blender for salsa..

You're looking for  a  -food processor-

It runs much more slowly,  and won't turn the mix into a mush..


Most food-processors can't handle extremely wet food either..  so if you do decide to get one,  Know that it's not a replacement for a blender.

Mexicanas use either blender or stone mortar for salsa. The only chopped one is Pico De Gallo.

well.. if you were making a big batch of it, -often enough-...  Power tools is the way to go..

I've seen my fellow ghetto diy-ers use a power drill to make salsa in drums..

It's so I can mix shakes at work, or just sit at my PC and push button rather than flapping my arms around.

But yeah, laziness too.
