I have a ton of the lovely harbor freight free LED flashlights, so uhh something better than that. How much do you want to spend? Fenix Lights stuff is generally great but they have a million options at a ton of different price points.

I will say I have a whole bunch of Lenser flashlights and they're all great. Awesome fit and finish and very reliable. I'm very pleased by the quality.

Early Christmas Present to myself.  Had the 3.0 version for awhile now and they are still holding up well. Warm as can be, even when you're not moving around much in sub 30 Degree F weather. Even when they get wet, they keep the heat in.

Picked up one of these As much as I like hoodies I hate wearing 2 hooded items when it rains (my Goretex jacket has a hood too). Track jackets seem like a good compromise. I admit though it's no 1984 year Sarajevo Olympic Commemoration Model Training Jacket, but it's close enough for me to complete my Sasha cosplay.

I bought this Oster Versa blender yesterday because it had a really nice discount. It was supposed to get here today but it got delayed, and I was mad before I realized I don't have any use for a blender at all anyways.

Josh Lyman posted:No sizes for my fat rear end Weird that they've only got up to a 33-inch waist on this one. Availability is a crapshoot by the time anything goes on clearance, but usually they run to at least 36 or 38. Worth mentioning: if you have access to a .edu email address, they've got a 20% student discount.

Jerry Cotton posted:Man, I've been looking for something like this so I can hook up my Playstation TV to my kitchen television (a portable Salora from the early eighties) now that I've no use for it in the living room anymore (i.e. I played through Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on it) but all the ones I've looked at are like four times that price. Well, I got it about 2 weeks ago and it work really well, able to convert both image and sound from my laptop and computer to RCA composite. I could even change my screen resolution and the converter just adjusted itself and kept displaying. Maybe some people who bought it got duds, but mine's OK so far. I also suspect that some reviewers don't understand that composite is by nature going to look like poo poo.

Ema Nymton posted:Maybe some people who bought it got duds, but mine's OK so far. That's the thing with cheap Chinese poo poo: it's cheap because there's literally no quality control. The name-brand stuff comes from the same factories, built with the same parts (although since they are also Chinese, you get the same thing nested), but with better quality control. The discarded units are probably thrown in the bin these come from  . This is why you can have 30% satisfied users and 70% people who just couldn't get the poo poo to work, because the actual design isn't defective. (I don't know about this particular item and can't be arsed to check again).

 The Chuck Taylor II's I got on the Converse Black Friday sale just arrived. My first fresh pair of Chucks since like 2004. These are incredibly comfortable, they have a cushy insole, a nice lining and a padded tongue, plus a nice minimal look that's much more modern than the old ones. I'm flatfooted and I do love my Onitsuka Tigers but the arches in those shoes murder me. Chucks give me the support I need -- absolutely none.

Placed an order for the Duo Coffee Steeper. I have a French press right now and it makes fine coffee, but there are a few things I'm not crazy about with it and I'm hoping this will solve all my issues. Got one of their nice mugs for free with a coupon code too, plus an additional basket for brewing loose leaf tea. Very excited for it to arrive!

Too bad the companies all pretty much just lie when they say they breakdown just like toilet paper. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/apr/21/huge-10-ton-fatberg-removed-chelsea-sewer-london quote:A 10-tonne lump of wet wipes and fat has been removed from a sewer in Chelsea, west London. For your sake, I hope you don't have a septic tank that you'll have to pay to replace when all those wipes back up the system.

I've read about that before, isn't the problem mostly just people flushing the kind that aren't supposed to be flushed? Not every wet wipe on the market is designed to break down.
