You must be the nerdiest nerd you know.

From what I can tell, spending 10K on a sewing machine would get you commercial grade equipment, elaborate stitching programs, as well as BEDAZZLING abilities. So even if you had one, you would lose your nerd cred by only being able to make mid-western prom dresses in various shades of pink and sky blue.

Apparently I was raised differently in thinking that it's not very becoming to boast of your things and the amount of money you have or have spent in order to get more things.

Was I being a dick, of course, this is the interweb.

Let me rephrase the original comment so as to not get the shallow folks upset:

"Perhaps letting us know the make and model of your machine would be more appropriate to the article than gloating over how much it cost, this IS a gadget site remember, not a rich kids pissing match."

Best,

But then, this can go both ways, whether it be mentioning how much one splurged to satiate their nerdity, or how little one spent to boast on their frugality.

"I spent only $20 for this watch!" can be construed in the same manner.

But, to spare me from the tedious and lengthy task of Googling the make and model to get an idea of what I'm contending with, knowing that the sewing machine costs 10k and probably isn't coated in Swarovsky crystals glued on with platinum unicorn shit illustrates, to me, one badass sewing device.

But that's just me.

Apparently we all had the same thought
