Moonstone. The ring is smaller than the picture makes it look, to the point where you practically have to hunt for the diamonds in real life.

My now-fiancee wanted either rose gold or a moonstone ring. I managed to find her both.

Thank you!

This is good, I was so stressed out by the prospect of a stranger I don't know having an opal ring (they are notorious for breaking easily). Moonstone is not as strong as diamond or sapphire, but hopefully it will be a little easier to care for than opal!

(Also congratulations!)

A displayport to HDMI cable because my current laptop was made for that brief period when a displayport instead of HDMI in a laptop was considered a good idea, and because Kodi doesn't have Chromecast integration:


And an amplified HD antenna so I can watch OTA football in my basement TV without resorting to low quality streams:


I've been able to get Kodi to chromecast from my Nexus 5X and Shield Tablet, is there really no solution for computers? The one thing I hate about the Android app (Localcast, I think) that allows you to use Kodi on the Chromecast is that now it seems I have to cast the video, there's no way I can watch videos on the device, so I ended up taking it off my phone.

Yeah, the flavors/colors are a bit different, and it has less corn syrup in it. Consequently, they aren't quite as sticky/slimy in warm weather, and some people prefer the taste

Not a good one, no. Both Android devices and Windows have to resort to the Chromecast App's "cast screen" function.

It works ok from my phone, but there is serious lag when I do it on my laptop.

Maybe one day I'll get an Amazon TV since I hear there's a Kodi app that can be installed easily on them, but until then, I'll be using the cord.

Since it'll be downstairs in my gameroom/den, I have to decide if i"m ok with having the cord drape across the floor, or if I want to be "fancy" and figure out a way to route it along the wall.

Or put the laptop right next to the TV and use one of those apps where your phone functions as a wireless keyboard + mouse for your laptop...or just buy a wireless keyboard + mouse.

Is there something special about this that justifies the price? I don't see any imposing logo so I assume you're just paying for excellent construction and not just trendiness like those SUPREME hats.

They just bought enough soap to clean themselves and everything they own for the next thirty years.
Seriously, if you dilute it like you're supposed to, a standard bottle can last a year or more.

For what it's worth the Bronners you bought is best for self cleaning and textiles. They make a detergent too that's better for household cleaning.

I got rid of the pullover as the pocket was a bit too low for perfect handwarming comfort, but it was great aside from that.

The Black Diamond one looks neat but they only have a small and I'm not seeing it around in other places, just the hybrid.
