I'm about to do a mirrored 4 TB setup so I'll have both backup and cloud access, I'm just debating on which enclosure, though I'm leaning toward something from Synology. I considered just paying for cloud space, but I like having the data locally for speedy access too.

I love that people come into a thread about materialism (generally) and then get mad at people who buy nice things. Yes, everyone has different tastes, but no one is asking for your opinion. Basically, stop shop-shaming. Content: just got some super-soft flannel shirts from cabela's (as I love their roughneck flannels in winter). Love them, but I really wish they made medium-talls, as opposed to just large+-talls. Having a long and (relatively) thin torso is a pain in the rear end for sizing.

That's why I'm not a vegetarian. I can't enjoy any purchase unless someone has suffered and died because of it. In thread news, I bought Alien and Aliens on blu ray for 5$ a pop. That was a nice best buy sale.

While I think this could have some pretty creative and fun uses I think it's funny that one of the main ones they promote is to use it as a light switch. Are homes so drat smart these days that they don't bother to build in actual light switches?

I took it as more like switching all your lights to a preset state with one click, which is pretty slick if you've got a bunch of devices to accommodate it.

That's kind of, like, capitalism's thing. Edit: for an example related to your post, look into conflict minerals and the controversy related to their use in computers.

POST PURCHASES. I got Ghost in the Shell because I really just wanna hear the soundtrack again. I got AKIRA because hopefully it has the right voices, not the bullshit ones on my dvd copy. And they're a buck so whatever.

 It's a collection of military aviation themed cartoons from WWII through the late Vietnam years, by Bob Stevens. I had one of his softcovers growing up as a kid and this is the hardcover collection of the bulk of his military-themed work. Later in life he started doing editorial cartoons as well as more general aviation-themed stuff.

This looks cool and I can see a lot of uses for it. (Edit: had more here but I may try to make my idea into a product myself) I am not sure what the rules are for this thread but you may want to either change that link to be directly to the page or at least put something mentioning that it is your referral link and you get something if people use it.

Wasn't the first english dub of Akira absolutely atrocious and then they made a second one, which was slightly better but still awful? Especially compared to the glorious original  voice acting.

Giving thought to picking up DDP Yoga and a mat. On one hand, all the testimonials seem pretty good and the reviews are all solid. On the other hand, I'm kinda scared I'm gonna look like Michael in GTAV trying to do the yoga missions.

My gf and I were considering getting the double to serve as our couch because we live in a basement apartment and getting just about any kind of furniture that can't be completely taken apart is out of the question. Would that be viable? (we are both pretty short, fwiw).

The one in the picture works as a love seat really well. I am guessing the big-rear end one would make a comfy couch. The long pillow from the video would probably be nice for extended use, but not necessary. In a little concerned about my cats getting into it, but at least the covers are replaceable. Time will tell.

For whatever reason, my loving feral cats won't touch it. I think it's the sound. But yeah, that kneading poo poo would probably rip this thing open and I'm going with the "fear of hellfire" approach for now.

Why do people buy liquid caffeine like this when you can simply take a caffeine pill? Serious question, not being a smartass. I drink coffee daily, because it's a ritual, and it's awesome. But beyond that, when I need more caffeine, I take a pill. I've been taking caffeine pills for nearly 20 years, in addition to my one mug of coffee. Because it's convenient. Look for Vivarin. It's 200 mg per pill. Actually, don't buy Vivarin. Buy the store brand of it. It's 200 mg of caffeine and nothing else. No added poo poo to worry about, no weird side effects, just pure caffeine. Isn't that the point?
