Every time phone holders come up i jump in to say proclipusa.com makes amazing stuff. Expensive as hell but rock solid. They also have a sale every month so you can get 20% off during some events, though it's usually 10 or 15%.

Can someone recommend somewhere I can order replacement compatible blades for a Phillips AquaTouch shaver? Motherfuckers want nearly the same price for the blades a whole new shaver. Needs to ship worldwide/international.

Is there such a thing as a mid-range card shuffler? One that's not those cheap $20 dollars ones that break after 3 rounds and that's not one of those $300 dollar casino grade ones.

They only cost so much because of the warranty, made in USA, etc. I loving hate that buckle. Noisy and loud as hell and if you're not careful when you press the button it goes flying out and hits things near you.

Josh Lyman posted:I've seen Chrome bags in person and it seems anyone who sews can make one. You could say the same thing about basic car maintenance, fixing computers, all kinds of poo poo. People pay for a quality product or service, the time, the materials, and the equipment needed to produce it. Are the people who go to Jiffy Lube a bunch of rubes because they pay 30 or 40 bucks for an oil change? I do it because I don't want to deal with it, and it saves me time. Maybe everyone who sews can make a high quality bag if they have the materials and a sewing machine capable of working with cordura and truck tarp. Not everyone sews though, and not everyone who does sew has the design skills to make a bag worth looking at. Anyways gently caress Chrome for most of their stuff. I used to be a Chrome fanboy but that buckle and the velcro everywhere is just ridiculously loud and they won't work with you on making a bag you actually want. I like Mixed Works not only for the simplicity of the aesthetics but also because the shop is small enough that if you email the owner asking for something custom, chances are they'll do it.

It's small and portable and has an attachment to create creases, as well as steaming things that collect hair. Doesn't take long to heat up and you can lock it for continuous steam. It's also nice and cheap (it was even cheaper in the US market when I found mine).

Volume posted:Is there such a thing as a mid-range card shuffler? One that's not those cheap $20 dollars ones that break after 3 rounds and that's not one of those $300 dollar casino grade ones. No, and you should also stay away from the $300 "casino-grade" ones. If you need an actual automated shuffler, basically the only good brand is Shuffletech and their low-end is in the $600 range. And as a note, said low end has some issues with being loud and could jam depending on what brands of cards you use. An actual casino-grade shuffler is in the $2000 range if you can find one for sale at all, and that's not counting the maintenance costs on if you're running it a lot. You can justify the cost for a raked home/underground game or if you have the budget for a $10k+ man cave, but in any other situation you're much better off self-dealing and having 2 active decks of cards where the small blind shuffles their deck for the next hand vvv: True enough, especially if you're talking about one that's like new. I was just thinking of the couple threads I saw on chiptalk a while ago about some people that got their hands on used in-table ones for somewhere around that amount Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 03:38 on Aug 8, 2016 |

I just got the unthinkable news from my doctor's office that I am allergic to wheat. You'd think I'd have noticed something like that by now, but here we are. So I guess the smart move would be to eliminate like 75% of the foods I love from my diet? (I haven't had a chance to talk to my doctor in person yet, so I don't know really what he wants me to do.) I'm still at the bargaining stage of grief right now, so I'm thinking of maybe trying to at least hold onto bread by baking it myself but with alternate types of flour that aren't derived from wheat. Thing is, I'm a busy lady who doesn't have time to knead dough all day. Anybody have a recommendation for a decent bread machine? Preferably in the $50-100 range and if it doesn't take up the whole counter that's a plus. And if anybody has any decent wheat-free bread or pizza dough recipes they can throw my way, I wouldn't mind that, either.

Before you completely commit I think you should get a second opinion from a different doctor. If you didin't even notice it I think it's worth the time to get it checked again. A few years ago I went to an ophthalmologist that said my eyes were inoperable because they were so bad. After being depressed for like 2 months someone suggested I try another doctor. The new ophthalmologist told me surgery is fine and he highly recommended it. I went to two additional doctors and they all said the same thing and that I shouldn't wait anymore. Doctors make mistakes.

Speaking of kitchen gear, I need a blender. My last blender had a HORRIBLE habit of everything getting jammed just above the blades and to much hilarity I, multiple times, would put use rubber spatula to shove stuff down and it never turned out well. I'd like to avoid that in the future.

As always you need adequate liquid to prevent it from just spinning air, but it comes with a plunger and is powerful enough to make a raspberry smoothie without bits of seeds in it.

Have you tried making bread without a machine? It always sounded like this big effort, but it's really not. Making bread is 10 to 15 minutes of activity maximum for a basic bread, punctuated by lots of letting the dough do its own thing for a while. People talk about kneading like it's terrible. It's really pretty fast. No knead recipes are pretty pointless, because making bread is already very little work. I'll make dough for three dinners worth of baguettes or rolls and throw them in the fridge. Fifteen minutes of work for three days of bread. When they're thin like that it's only 10 minutes in the oven. Don't bother starting with a complicated bread. Just try flour, yeast and water.

As a kid I got a prick test and it said was "allergic" to nearly everything (including wheat) but it turned out that prick tests just aggravated my skin. You can also try an elimination diet to confirm the diagnosis.

You can also try an elimination diet to confirm the diagnosis. It was done via lab tests that came back with specific allergy markers. It's clearly a mild allergy at best, since I eat wheat (or, rather, products made with flour) all the time. So maybe I haven't noticed any effects because they're constant. Or maybe it's not that big a deal. Or maybe the lab hosed up. It's certainly not epi-pen level (that would be the walnuts). I don't know yet what is recommended because I only talked to my doctor's nurse on the phone and my actual appointment to talk to him isn't for a week or two. Regardless, I will be asking for a referral to an allergist. In addition to the food allergies I have skin and seasonal allergies that are making me bonkers.

I even had a really great sourdough starter that I kept going for years until my dad mistook it for soup and microwaved it. If homemade bread is going to become my main bread source, though, I'd like to try a machine for the convenience. Especially if there are going to be multiple weird experimental loaves going on.

My favorite headphones for commuting are my Sennheiser mm100 http://en-us.sennheiser.com/bluetooth-headset-stereo-mm-100 I have had this pair forever and they don't make them anymore so if they break I'll be sad, also sucks when I forget to charge them because I hate wired headphones for commuting. Any recommendations on a similar pair? It's surprisingly hard to look for behind the neck bluetooth headphones that don't seem like cheap garbage.

I got a similar thing last week on Amazon, except instead of clipping into a vent it locks into my barely used CD player. My phone ends up blocking the screen on my stereo but that doesn't really matter since I'm always in Bluetooth streaming mode, so anything important is displayed on my phone anyway.

Every time phone holders come up here I gush about proclipusa.com. They're spendy as gently caress but also rock solid for years of phone in and out multiple times a day. They also run a sale every month, randomly between 5% and 20%. They also make the mounts for the car (the rock solid part), and they make it for any car. We actually had one in a RAV4 that has the same panel as a few posts above, worked great.

Looking for a recommendation for a pair of men's running shorts. This sounds simple, but I've had problems with every pair of running shorts I own. The problems are: - When I put my cellphone in my pocket and run, the pocket gets twisted up. - Some of my shorts leave nothing to the imagination as far as revealing my genitals. - Seriously, only black shorts seem to match my shoes, and I have a hard time distinguishing between black and navy so it isn't until I see a pair of shorts in the sun that I realize I'm wearing my black running shoes with navy shorts, doesn't sound like a big deal, but it bothers me irrationally. - I have shorts where the drawstring is connect. What's the point of that? I have to twist and tie it to make the waist adjustable. So if someone can recommend a pair of running shorts that I can buy on Amazon with good pockets (Most important), a little more room in the crotch (Maybe slightly dropped crotch on the inseam, but this is the least important aspect), comes in black, and has a drawstring that I can leave untied, let me know. Also, summer is over soon, so a nice pair of running pants recommendation would be great too. Scott Justice has a new favorite as of 16:37 on Aug 13, 2016 |
