"coincidence"

How about a talk on whether there is really any correlation between mattress quality and price. As far as I can tell the studies suggest that a certain level of firmness is slightly better for back pain but that tells us nothing about whether all the mattress claims are pure bullshit or not.
Like both the fact the same mattresses are sold for such different prices under different names and the trekie style jargon in ads is very sus.

Sadly, my innate hatred of rising inflection disease means I am watching with the audio off and using subtitles. Still interesting.

Jesus Christ I hope you guys are just trolling and aren't actually serious

@@r6scrubs126 not trolling at all. No need to be a smart ass.

[@petergerdes1094]

@@mo938It's playing on a double meaning. There is the meaning of literal prison break and the meaning where you are breaking out of 'jail' when you escape a lockdown context in a computer system (chrooted jails).
