I never thought of that before, but I agree. Also, now all I can imagine is Riker walking up behind a bicycle and just effortlessly gliding onto the seat, swinging his leg gracefully.

I still use one. I like having a small device for just that purpose. It doesn’t have a touch screen, which is how I prefer it. I despise touchscreens. I like to interact with my phone as little as possible, especially while driving.

Stardew Valley is $15 USD. It’s pretty laid back. Easy to set down and pick back up. I like to play it when my head is all over the place and want something soothing.

I don’t know if you have any where you live, but sometimes you can find local appliance repair shops that might sell parts.

You will also want to make sure the filter isn’t clogged up. Most overheating is going to be an airflow issue. You can also look up online how to pull it apart and check components. You may also have a loose power connection somewhere. Make sure the vacuum is unplugged before you mess with it.
