I may have to rethink. I work for a children and youth agency and if the CIA shares with my employer how much I yell at my kids I could lose my job. Oh wait, they're toddlers, I get a pass.

 x 1 x 8 x 1Can finally stop bothering friends requesting the use of their trucks for house projects. Will need to bother them for some socket extensions to get to all the drat spark plugs though.

That's funny, I bought the same OEM plugs for my Nissan Maxima. Though I recall something weird that the older four cylinder rangers shared the same engines as the mazda b or something like that... Anyways, for content, bought some cheapo studio monitors, cardioid condenser mic, mic boom stand, and audio interface. I've officially taken my first step into the endless black hole of recording crap

A cheap 48" Samsung and Fire TV Stick to fill the empty corner in my  Fanatec Formula rim to attach to my Fanatec CSL base, which is in the opposite corner of the nerd pit:  And a season pass for the local ski hill, because we apparently skipped autumn and went straight to winter.

spog posted:Am I being thick here, but isn't this a speaker only and Youtube Red is a video service? It's just to get you in the ecosystem, I'm sure. If you have a chromecast hooked up to your TV you could say "Watch Dude Perfect on chromecast" or something and it would cast the newest/most relevant/unwatched/i dunno dude perfect youtube video to your TV. If I'm not mistaken, if you're a youtube red subscriber you automatically get a google play music subscription (ala amazon prime music, spotify, etc) included. Mostly I'm pretty excited to just ask it random questions, which it seems to excel at compared to the amazon echo.

It's a Google product. Google owns Youtube. Youtube Red is not going well for them, so they are giving away free Red time with this purchase to incentivize this purchase, as well as get people to try, and hopefully like, Red. I'd say that it's a good bet that anyone purchasing a home AI assistant already has at least a computer to watch Youtube on.

I don't think I'd pay for on its own, because I don't use YT all that much. The experience is so much better without ads, though. Like pretty much everything. gently caress ads.

Finally found a Google Pixel XL case that I'm happy with. Spigen Slim Armor (black). Thought the kick stand might look tacky but it's really nice in person and very handy for my job.  Contrast between the two black parts is not quite so severe IRL

I really like Spigen cases. I didn't know they even existed until I picked one up, and then I got a lot of compliments on it.

 New kicks for a holiday to Mauritius. They are completely copper but in heat turn seafoam green. Inspired by the Statue of Liberty. One of the best pairs in my collection for sure now 😍

At my last job, I went around the lab and in the plant and googly eyed a bunch of things because who doesn't like googly eyes? Recently bought these. 5/8" x 7"... rubber band fights at work are now a little scarier...

One of our local grocery stores had black Friday deals so I filled half my chest freezer with $3 frozen pizzas (Not quite as good as DiGiorno but almost) and $1.99/lb ground beef.
