Hoover Windtunnel 2 Rewind. Was on sale at Target for $99 and I had $60 in gift cards burning a hole in my wallet. I'm 26 and I just bought my first real vacuum cleaner (because every kept giving me their old ones and they all sucked)

The most exciting purchase picture in this entire thread, clearly.

It's a piece of suede with industrial strength adhesive in the back so I can modify normal shoes into dancing shoes. No more twisted fuckin' ankles on the hardwood floor!

My wife cleaned our eterninly Cheerioed house with this model. It lasted a year and half of being used a few times a day now so at that price it's not bad.

I'm fine with mindless action comics but the characters don't behave in any logical sense or in a way that is in keeping with their principles. Logan is a pacifist, for reasons that make total sense later on but you cannot go two pages without him saying how much he won't fight and how people need to stop asking even though no one is asking. Hawkeye calls him out once but doesn't resolve anything.

And let's not forget how, SOMEHOW, all of Bruce Banner's children/grandchildren are all giant green monsters but he's still a normal dude who can hulk out. Like, I would accept him passing the hulk transformation on to his kin but they are hulked ALL THE TIME and are cannibals because Miller needed more violence somehow.

New bike helmet 'cause my old one is cracked a bit in the foam skeleton - not good for the whole saving your brains thing. KASK Mojito! This has to be the best fitting helmet I've ever tried - they have a more expensive and flashier model, the Vertigo, but it's not as comfortable to me. You can't see it in the photo but the back-of-head cradle bit is amazingly well designed, it swings up or down on a pivot for extra support and stability. You know how your skull has a little nub in the back? The occipital bone, I think? You can adjust the cradle to sit right below the nub for maximum grab.

Those things come with 5-year warranties, so if it crapped out after a year and a half you should be able to get it fixed for free.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT



Won an ebay auction for a Xbox 360 slim for 27 dollars, with no hard drive and a broken disc drive, and the seller (a pawn shop) lived about an hour away from me. Bought the power cable for 10 bucks more when I drove there to pick it up.

I still have my launch 360 (no RROD yet!) but my kids have taken it over for Kinect and Minecraft. I'm just using this for Ultra Street Fighter 4, so I plugged in a 16GB flash drive and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the heads up. With the amount of walking I do each day, if they don't last a month, I still have the receipt and will be letting them know. Its hard to find nice, smart-ish looking boots with a safety toe that I can walk around in lots :(

Feb 14, 2007

I haven't received it yet. A local restaurant has a big one that looks like a chemistry project so that got me interested. I've used this cold brew recipe a few times and it works out well, it's pretty simple -

1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
Milk (optional).

1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.

2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add milk.

Yield: Two drinks.

NOTE: To make hot coffee, dilute concentrate one-to-one with water and heat in the microwave.
