    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Care to explain the avoid plastic comment? I assume there's some ingredient I should be looking for because it looks like Humble has a plastic container. I appreciate the Schmidt's recommendation - I just was using a Milk of Magnesia deodorant (Peppermint Jim's) that seemed to work well, but...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I'm sure this has been posted before, but what the fuck is it with phone apps changing their logo? At the moment, fuck lastpass and blink for changing colors, but there are many more that have done this and pissed me off in the past.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't mind it in an EV so long as you can turn it off. The sound is missing when you accelerate and it's kind of fun to have that in small doses. It's better than the inverter whine you get on some. On an ICE vehicle, especially a V12, I'm mixed. If you're piping in the actual sound into the...

    Pretty much, yes. Most OEMs try to limit the information displayed to prevent things from being too distracting.

    You mean the one he released two years ago? I highly doubt he had another book in the works. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Friends-Lovers-and-the-Big-Terrible-Thing-A-Memoir-Paperback-9781250866455/1542227702 My prediction they'll nail some low level guy and one of his assistants.

    I get it, my first few outdoor projects, I grossly underestimated the materials required and ended up doing 3 or 4 trips to the store, you sort of get pot committed at that point since it feels like just a few more bags will do it, then once you put those down you scratch your head at how little...

    With that many bags, why not have a bulk place come out and deliver a yard? I would think it would be cheaper and less hassle.

    At work today, didn't have my tools with me. Needed a 10mm socket. Open first technician's toolbox, it's such a disorganized mess I give up after the third drawer. Second technician's box isn't much better, but finally find a set. Look a little closer, it's got everything but a 10mm. Put it...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Do you like to wear jeans? I drove a loaner vehicle for a few months with white leather and was starting to see the blue transfer over. It looks really nice new or if you're OCD about keeping up with cleaning it. I would personally only consider it if I was really into detailing (I'm not). If...

    You're joking, right? Maybe I'm just to fixated on the title of that video. Unless you've got an adjacent axle like that trailer, this thing would be completely useless for changing a tire in a normal vehicle. It's kind of interesting for jacking up the wheels, not sure I'd trust crawling...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Beautiful vehicle. I'd consider it, but I know that's way too much car for me. What's the switch sticking out of the trim on the passenger side of the center console? A kill switch for the fuel pump?

    I fucked up my back lifting about 20 years ago. Since then I'd randomly get debilitating pain on occasion and constant aches any time else. Would get what felt like nerve pain down my legs, but had a clean bill of health from any spinal damage. I'm echoing some recommendations already, but the...

    First of all, holy shit, it's been 25 years since that release? That's rustling how old it makes me feel. Second of all, the fact they went through any effort to rerelease that turd is extra rustling. If she's never seen it, you should get her as hyped up as everyone was when it came out just so...

    At the time, I realized I was in my late 20s and didn't know it, just thought it was a piece of information I should know. I figured I'd ask since they were drawing blood anyway, what's one more test tube. I ended up donating blood and finding out. I've used that information since then a grand...

    I'm not sure why, but the last few PCPs I've had have been complete dicks about this. I've explicitly said I was ok with paying out of pocket for it. Craziest one in my opinion was refusing testing for my blood type - I was going to do a draw already for the standard lipid panel and asked if...

    I'm about a third of the way in. Really interesting so far. Sold me on his panel of tests, so, I started looking in to his company. Never a good sign when prices aren't posted. Looks like it's 600 for the genetic portion (which I'd probably skip) and then another 600 for the blood panel...

    I personally hate small engines, so, I bought a Greenworks mower the minute I moved into my first house - was on about 1/4 of an acre. I'm a big fan. I could mow in the morning or at night and not feel like a jerk making a bunch of noise. I could do my lawn front and back on the two included...

    I agree with the other posters, best bet is a power meter where you are monitoring the load on each breaker. One thought before that: do you have a water softener? Timing-wise, seems roughly when they usually get set to recharge. Load is way high for that, but maybe it's got a higher impedance...

    Did you get one of those Midea U shaped window units or something else inverter based? If so, I'd say it's plausible that it'd be that low since it's supplementing your whole home unit. Have you considered a portable ac unit for your son? They're a little noisier since everything is indoors...

    This is very useful, all set to lick that Zinc I've had lying around. I was surprised at Iodine first, but then thought since it's a halogen, what we're actually consuming probably isn't elemental Iodine.
