After some decent bluetooth headphones, that don't go over the top of your head. The Sennheiser MM 100 look perfect but they don't sell them anymore and I can't find them anywhere online. Any suggestions? Budget around £100.

I had those and they were terrible. Poor sound, poor bluetooth connection and also a constant blinding blue light on the side panel. You could see it from across the street when it was night. I use the Plantronics Backbeat Fit and love them. They are about $80 USD. I've tried tons of different kinds and these are my favorite because they are so light and they also don't block outside noise so it's safe to jog with them. I also have - Jaybird Bluebuds X - sounds great and are comfortable but they are really pricey and completely block noise. It can also be tricky to find the right fit but they come with a bunch of different sizes so you can mix/match. - Jlab Epic - These are recommended by a bunch of places like The Verge and Wirecutter. I loathe them. Sound quality is mediocre and the bluetooth connection is terrible. Put my phone in any pocket, or in my shirt pocket, or in a bag, the connection keeps cutting out. It only works if I hold my phone in front of me while walking. - JLab Epic 2 - the advertising touts how they have improved the bluetooth connection due to consumer demand. Tried it and nope, exact same bluetooth issues. I have a Nexus 6 phone and it works perfectly fine with many other BT headphones. The JLabs are junk.

What about water proof/resistant Bluetooth speaker for the bathroom? Mainly for podcasts so I can leave my phone in an adjacent room, away from the heat and moisture.

Scott Justice posted:Looking for a recommendation for a pair of men's running shorts. My favorite are the Nike running shorts. You can get them with 3" inseam, 5", or my preferred 7" (there are also 9" sometimes as well). Make sure you find ones with pockets as a lot of them don't have them. I would recommend something like a SPI Belt for a phone, keeps it tight and higher up so it doesn't bounce as much.

I can help you not pick this one (and the seemingly hundreds of clones): https://www.amazon.com/TOP-PLUS-Res...luetooth+shower at least because it has it's own dumb proprietary charger. If I were in the market I'd probably get this one: https://www.amazon.com/Vtin-Bluetoo...luetooth+shower

What's a good solution to make clothing visible for night time riding but is not visible during the day? Was thinking either clear reflective tape or some of the stronger,non-retail glow in the dark paint.

Have you seen that fabric that reflects flashbulbs? I think Betabrand makes a jacket and scarf. They do! You would definitely light up. Paint would make fabric stiff.

Looking for books for children (preschoolish to grade schoolish) about women in STEM? Or, failing the women part, just story books for children about science or engineering or the like. I've seen Ada Lovelace and the Thinking Machine and am looking for something along those lines, though could be for younger children as well: https://www.amazon.com/Ada-Byron-Lovelace-Thinking-Machine/dp/1939547202 Age-specific reading comprehension isn't that important, as they can be read by an adult like a storybook.

Rocket GIrl is the book version of a play that is a dramatized version of Mary Sherman Morgan's life and work on the chemistry behind manned space flight. Most of the chapters are written with lots of dialogue, as in a play, so it ends up being pretty breezy apart from the chemistry talk. It's probably more appropriate for tweens, to be honest, but give it a look.

That magnet car air vent phone holder thing from earlier ITT is noice. I have a big heavy wallet case with a bunch of cards in it and the thing's never fallen off, even in my sloppy jalopy truck that rides hard as heck. I have one surface sticker on the back of the case, and one in the ID pocket so I can stick it on with the front flap open. Loooove itttttt. Thanks to whoever posted that, it cuts down on my phone fumbling and thus we are all safer for it.

I recently got one of these things for my cats (and a dog) and I like it a lot. I specifically wanted one that wasn't made of plastic (unhygienic), but that was still had a decent capacity. This was about all I found that fit that description. Some people had issues with the pump and filter, but this Amazon reviewer dude Wolf Blitzer did a mod that seems relatively simple and that he claims solved all his problems. I haven't tried it yet since I still have a ton of filters. Maybe some day. In other news, my car's phone holder has dumped my phone onto the floor under my feet for the last time!! I guess I'll try one of those ProClips, but I'm going to wait around for a sale to happen since goddamn they are pricey.

They go on sale once a month or so, and unless they are changing how they operate, they are due for a 15 or 20% off sale, cause looking at my email, they e been running 10% off for like eight months straight. You can prob sign up for the email alerts then unsubscribe after you buy.

I'm looking for a smallish messenger bag, not a backpack but maybe something similar? I want something I can throw over my shoulder and carry it around as an EDC (everyday carry). I don't carry much and want to purchase one to stop annoying my girlfriend (I always ask her to carry my keys). I looked at Osprey, Timbuk2, Chrome and Hersechel and didn't find anything I liked. I saw some things that I liked, but some things just turned me off, like having a dedicated U-Lock compartment. Here are some things that I carry... Wallet, 24oz water bottle, keys, novel, pen, Moleskin notebook, phone, knife, a light jacket, beanie and other smallish things. Any suggestions as to brands I should look at?
