Yeah, they did a re-printing of it last year.

The original one from the...70's(?) is hundreds and hundreds of dollars, but the re-print is under $100, and totally worth it.

Don't tell your friends that you own it. Go camping with a bunch of them and do something tricky.

This really makes me happy, since I got this as a Christmas present for a group of friends who have a house together, and the name on the shipping address is a weird amalgamation of all three of their names. It does make me wonder if my name is on the cards though, since it's the name on the credit card that paid. Either way, it's going to be fun when all this stuff starts showing up at their house without any advance warning.

Damnit, I just left today for two weeks so I'm going to miss the fun of tiny daily packages. I'll just get a pile of them when I get home.

The old Product Recommendation thread is closed, so I'll ask here:

Anyone know of a good remote car starter? Looking to get one for my girlfriend for Christmas.

If it matters, she drives s 2014 Yaris.

New thread here.

Ideally you'll want to either go to a dealer and have the factory part installed, or else have a high quality aftermarket unit professionally installed. The cheaper ones generally work by taping an extra key to the inside of the steering column to bypass the PATS (passive anti-theft system), at which point someone can literally hot wire the car.

Unfortunately I have zero experience with adding a remote starter, so all I can suggest is the OEM part through a dealer.

You might get better results asking this in the AI stupid questions thread.

I like living in a college town. People like to sell things incredibly cheap around the end of the semester before they leave.

And tomorrow I get to buy a new window! Thank you, dog who tries to kill the cats through the window! :woof:

3 pairs of glasses off Zenni Optical for about 80$.

They had a buy 2 get 1 free with free shipping sale, and I had to get some some various colors of sunshades.

I've tried to find a good one like that too. Usually the collar is way too big or some other nonsense.


I almost bought these a while back, but glad I didn't. Went shopping and noticed one store had 30% off today :

Got my Gursky print from the framers today. I'm very happy with how it turned out.



It's about 48" diagonal with frame.

Thanks again, Woot Fatigue for helping me with that source image.



I got some headphones for playing Xbox.



It makes finding hidden poo poo in Far Cry 4 easier, and the sound quality is surprisingly good for the price.
