Did Dyson really have to do a bunch of research to develop the Air Multiplier?

Best fans in the world! If you have $300 that you absolutely can't find anything better to do with. Apparently though his hand dryer is much better (faster) than normal ones and much more energy efficient. And a billions times the price.

Ridiculously noisy.
Looks cool.
Try and get your hands on a quality fan from the 30s or 40s. You may well find it's quieter and more efficient. Might even look cooler, depending on your taste!
The Dyson vacuum cleaner was the worst I ever had. Unloaded it and bought a Miele for half the price.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've heard the Dyson vacuum really sucks, which normally is a good thing for a vacuum cleaner. However, it still doesn't do such a great job picking up dirt compared to some of its competitors. My brother has one and loves it. I'll stick with the Oreck that I paid a lot less for.

Let's just say when I got divorced I left it will my ex. Attachments were useless.

My brother and his wife are heading for Splitsville as well. I wonder if she'll get the Dyson?

A local high profile restaurant here has Dyson hand dryers. They're actually pretty amazing. Dry your hands in about 2.2 seconds. lol Sounds like a jet engine though while it's running.

I've used the Dyson hand dryers before. I agree they are amazing and work very quickly. I own a Dyson Ball (DC-25) vacuum and it's by far the best vacuum I've ever used (and I've used my share). It's light, works great, is manuverable as can be. If you are in the maket for a vacuum, just spend the money on a Dyson. They really suck (in the good way).

Agreed on the Dyson Ball. We got the larger DC-15 because the 25 wasn't around then. 2005...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
