I have two Dyson stick vacs, maybe they're less robust. Both have broken in different ways. They're still mostly usable, but are now annoying to use.

My Filter Queen, on the other hand, has been a champ for over two decades and will still be running when I'm dead.

Avoid Dysons (easy at your price point), they're too fragile. I'd find a local vacuum repair shop and get a refurbished vacuum. It'll probably be something you pass down to your kids.

I read a short story with a very similar theme, could have been that book.

Closest I've read is Lord of the Flies.

No gills for me, sadly.

Fair. A boat anchored at a Pacific Island, while they exist.

Maybe I'll dock at the Pacific garbage patch and distill my fuel from microplastics.

Depends, are we riding out the rise of fascism or riding out WWIII? Those are two highly different scenarios.

Either way, a Pacific island sounds nice.

When he dies and they autopsy him I fully expect them to find his anus in his head.

He's going to apply tariffs to our conversations so it's more expensive for us. Or some such crap, I don't try to understand how he thinks.

This is a surprise? You think we can't target tariffs?

Rapid vacillation between the two.
