Nice, thanks for the info. I looked and it appears there is now a cheaper shipping option, only ~$18. I didn't see this on the site, but do you know offhand the color temp. of the bulbs? The dual white ones (which I'm going to buy to start, maybe the RGB ones later) say they can do warm or cool, but not the exact temp. of those. I assume full warm is ~3000K and full cool is ~5000K? Probably going to buy the starter kit that's on sale right now (2 bulbs, a remote, and the wifi bridge) and 1 or 2 extra bulbs just to try it out in one room.

I do not. Would it say on the bulb? I remember the website has some fancy pics/diagrams with color temp ranges etc. I didn't bother with non-colored ones because they require a separate remote I think and aren't interchangeable with remote controls (well I'm sure it's fine via the phone app or PC)so I just got all color to be safe and depending on where I put them I got about half cold There is a 3rd party beta computer app that is super handy. Also has a pebble smart watch app

I can't recommend them enough but just buy them knowing they aren't Phillips LED wifi bulbs. They actually have some features they don't. But the big one they lack Is you can't really remotely control them unless you're on your wifi. You can set timers with the PC app and poo poo and I guess if you really wanted to could Remote Desktop or something. I know he said there was some port forwarding thing in beta but idk

Oh, gently caress me. I ordered the starter kit (2 bulbs, wifi bridge, and remote) and an extra bulb to try the setup in my living room. The problem I just discovered? The ceiling fan in my living room doesn't take standard bulbs with an E26 base.It doesn't take the tiny E14 base, either. It takes a middle-sized base I've never even seen until yesterday when I randomly decided to check them. I guess it's called "intermediate base"/E17? When I looked at Home Depot, they had a couple packs of incandescent bulbs actually labeled "ceiling Fan." Looks like that sized base is usually on an A15-sized bulb (though it looks like there's plenty of A15-sized bulbs with E26 or candelabra bases, too.) I've lived in lots of places with ceiling fans and this is the first one I've seen that didn't take a E27 socket-bulb. I looked on the website and I don't see this size base offered, just E26 or the smaller E14 candelabra/chandelier style base. Looks like my best option might be a converter thing to go from E17 to E26 if I still want to use these bulbs in the living room, though with the extra length the bulbs will stick out of the glass-enclosure-thing, but whatever.

Not really sure where else to ask this but might as well ask here. Years ago I saw a small novelty item that I haven't seen again for years. If I remember correctly, it was a small box with some kind of mirror setup. You'd put a small item inside the box and that item would appear to be levitating on top of the box. To the eye, it looked like the item was hovering there. Now, I either dreamed this thing up and it doesn't exist, or it does and I just can't find it. The only thing I can find is those magnetic levitating globe things that you put on your desk. What I'm remembering was different and I don't think it used magnets. Does anyone have any idea what the hell I'm talking about?

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I'm trying to track down this type of gum my girlfriend's dad bought in Guam back in the '60s, and/or whatever the closest thing available today is. It was regular flavor bubble gum in a rice paper wrapper (like Botan rice candy). The brand was probably Lotte. There were rare special pieces marked with a bullseye that could be redeemed for a free pack (though this last detail he might be confusing with a different candy).

A tower fan under $100 with no led lights or any other type of display, this is going in a bed room. I have a $30 honeywell one now which is decent, except the base is flimsy and it squeaks when rotating.

I have this which DOES have LEDs, but they are recessed in the plastic and not readily visible unless looking down upon the top from above (I do not see it on the walls or ceiling in a 225 square foot bedroom). It doesn't oscillate and the base isn't flimsy. If you can't find a decent one without LEDs or display, this would not be a bad fan to settle for.

I love having a pull-up bar that hooks around the top of the door frame but I moved into a house where the top is something like 8 inches high. My old Golds Gym bar doesn't reach and I'm looking for one that fits old houses. Those straight bars that stick via tension are a cruel joke and a busted face waiting to happen.

My idea of decent might be a little low bar but a simple ikea desk is surprisingly alright feeling, not wobbly or anything. That said I also specifically wanted a simple board style so if you need a keyboard tray or drawer then idk.

I spent $40 or so at Ikea on an enormous basic desk and opted for some glass top. It's easy as poo poo to move and I've never had an issue.

I actually got the dressing table from ikea and I use it as a barebones desk without the drawer. I recommend it for people who want a desk/computer in a smaller space, as it's deep enough for a monitor/keyboard but not enough to have wasted space behind. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10203610/

I have a Zojirushi Mr Bento that I use to take my lunch to work, it's awesome but I wish it had a couple more containers for morning and afternoon snacks. Does such a thing exist? Basically I want the same thing, but taller with at least two more containers.

Maybe this is better for the Software/Hardware forum, but I was looking into getting a Wireless Adapter for my desktop so I can re-decorate without and new cords. I don't need a specific recommendation necessarily; but the price range is like, from $6 to over $150. It's not clear to me why that is. Are USB ones worse than ones that you plug into your PCI slots? Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these or a basic understanding.

I've been using the same alarm clock for almost 10 years now, and while it still works fine (except for the motorized CD door that I never used and that broke after a year) I think it's time for an upgrade. I was looking around amazon at various projection clocks, and while I really like some of the ones I've found, I really have no idea how these things work, and what/who makes a good one. Some of these clocks have thousands of positive reviews, but then those reviews all mention "oh yeah you can't swivel the projector so either learn to read the time sideways or prop the clock up in such a way that you can't read the actual screen". Does anyone have any recommendations? I guess the only requirements I have for it is that projects the time and preferably has some kind of temperature display (not 100% necessary but would be nice). A radio is also a plus but I've noticed a lot of clocks are omitting the radio nowadays so it's not a big deal. Another thing I need a recommendation for is a good laptop cooling pad. I have one I got from amazon a few years back that's like a metal plate full of holes where you can attach/move three small fans, which was fine for my old laptop, but my current laptop gets so hot its unusable on my lap. That and my setup (laptop + cooling pad + fans + surface pad for me to put it on) functionally makes my laptop five times as thick and a complete pain to move around. Any suggestions would be welcome, though I realize this might be one of those things where there is no easy solution. Re: desks, Ikea's Micke line of modular desks are pretty awesome, I got this one along with a drawer expansion and I'm very satisfied.

What's a good camera to attach to a small dog? It's a terrier like toto from Wizard of Oz. There are actually two dogs and they thrown down like MMA and it's hilarious. I think it would be cool to get some good footage from dog perspective.

Go pros don't really work that well on pets, they are too big unless you get a harness specifically for it, and then it has a problem of wobbling back and forth. Same for attaching it to the collar.
