Started off buying these from Amazon ![]() ![]() ![]() And then, of course, I need something to go along with it. ![]() (from here) And then as I was about to go to bed, this popped up on sale for 7.49. Now just waiting to see if the DLC conversion for 2014 goes on sale at all before I get everything in the mail. ![]()

Got some really cool Thanksgiving/Black Friday sale purchases, and now I'm completely done.![]() Battlefield 4, which I got for $25 from Origin when it's normally $70. ![]() PS4 system, which I got at retail price but it's out of stock pretty much everywhere and it was even out of stock at 3 stores I went to tonight at midnight before I finally found a GameStop that had it in stock. ![]() ![]() Killzone Shadow Fall and Need For Speed Rivals, both for PS4. I've spent entirely too much money today but at least I'll be set for a while ![]()

My girlfriend was recently incarcerated. She's understandably bored out of her mind. So I got a christmas gift to bring her that should help the days go by a little faster.![]() It's an MP3 player that is designed for, and approved by correctional facilities. Even the USB cable, earbuds, and AC adapter are transparent. It does seem silly if you try to imagine anyone being able to conceal even one stamp of dope inside an iPod Touch, but I believe most of addressed concerns are software related. They have a kiosk in the facility where they can browse new songs and transfer them to the device. Money for songs are deducted from its own special account separate from their regular commissary. They are almost double than songs from iTunes, but what are you gonna do? If she has a good experience using this, then I might end up donating a half dozen players to other inmates so I can use it as a tax write off and for her to curry favor in her unit. This will depend mostly on how lenient the facility is with using the device, and how strict they are with what artists and songs they allow. Hoping a little Bob Marley and R Kelly isn't out of the question.

Are you allowed to pre-load it with music and if not why?

bowmore posted:Are you allowed to pre-load it with music and if not why? But seriously, that mp3 player is a neat product. I'm wondering what makes it prison approved. It doesn't appear to contain screws or metal outside of the circuit board, is there anything else to the design?

The facility has to receive the device sealed in the box. That way nobody can hack the firmware and staff doesn't want to have to spend time checking all the content on the device. I think most of the reasons the device is approved is because of it has to be very limited in its capabilities. Like no camera, no sound recorder, things like that. And i'm guessing the correctional facility gets some sort of kickback from sales of the content and/or device, which they wouldn't get from a regular mp3 product and ecosystem.

It also forces constant pointless notifications onto your phone. Or at least my phone. I didn't mind the game but still uninstalled it because of this.

Fooley posted:Is this all of Z, and if so is it Kai or he original episodes? I love that its the "Rock the Dragon" edition. It's a really niche thing, actually. It's the original (dubbed) broadcast version. I bought it as a Christmas gift for a DBZ nerd who grew up with it. Here's the description from Amazon: quote:Your wish has been granted. Now get ready to Rock the Dragon like it's 1999. FUNimation is bursting open the vault and finally unleashing what fans have sought for so long: the original broadcast version of DBZ with the Canadian voice actors. It's only $35 right now and it's going to make my friend super happy since he can't get it in his country. Well, at least not for a price he can afford. e: here's the link if you want it too

Major purchases over the last week: Sennheiser HD 650, my dream headphones. I will probably have these for 10+ years. Normally $499, I got these with coupon and sold my old headphones. Net cost: ~$175 ![]() Sapphire 7970 GHz edition. I don't game that often, but I do have a 27" monitor 2560x1440 and my 560 Ti struggles to keep up. Normally $375, after coupon/rebate/selling bundled items/selling my old video card, net cost: $120 ![]() George Foreman w/removable plate. My old Foreman nonstick has been failing for about half a year. Normally $60, I got it for $10, but it wasn't a Lightning Deal ![]() ![]() Rubbermaid 30 piece set.

Bought a Paulmann 300W 12V wire set:![]() It came with 6x 50W 24deg bulbs. The beam doesn't feel that wide, maybe I should try out 40deg bulbs. The set took forever, like nearly five hours, to install. I still need to buy some cable channels and shorten the cables from power supply to the wires. I also wish my apartment was higher than 250cm ![]()

Is it true with all raw denim that you're supposed to wear them for 1+ year before washing?

colas posted:Is it true with all raw denim that you're supposed to wear them for 1+ year before washing? No, you just want to delay and infrequently wash them to preserve the indigo dye, which will result in higher-contrast sick fadez

I'm saying that's pretty gross. I wash my jeans weekly, and I thought wearing one pair for 3 days was pushing it (I alternate pants). Jeans are the only clothing that I'll do that with, shirts and etc are one time wear until the next wash.

the kawaiiest posted:A whole year without washing? You aren't supposed to wash denim much in general. If you absolutely must due to stain or stench you should wash on cold/gentle inside out and hang dry. I was my jeans between once every 3 to 5 months and that's not even for the expensive raw stuff. I just want them to last forever. On topic: I got this guy last night on a lightening deal: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B99JU4S/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 AND I bought my tickets and gold camping for both Sasquatch 2014 weekends! So excited to get drunk and party and listen to music in the desert.

I've gone about a month I think and my jeans didn't really smell. I don't like washing them because they're all tight after drying.

Or in my case, leave them out in the dry 115 degree Nevada sun for an afternoon. I wore a pair of nice raw jeans for well over a year (how long was it? I retired them recently, anyway...) day in and out, and I still can't buy into the voodoo enough to chuck them in the freezer. Stay hygienic, I guess. Giving them a hit of Febreeze when needed is a decent idea, and yeah, if you feel like you should wash it you should probably wash it - every six months or so is not a big deal. It supposedly helps the fibres keep from getting brittle and blowing out faster. strangemusic has a new favorite as of 01:14 on Nov 30, 2013 |
