Just got a Google Home and a bunch of Hue lights (not the coloured ones for pot heads) and can't stop being amazed at how "hey boo boo, I'm home" now turns on my lights.

Like this but in a much less nerdy voice

edit: can also change the temperature and turn on/off my tv/ps4 etc by voice too. I'm in the loving future, man.

edit 2: and yes, I have tried "tea, earl grey, hot" and it did have a perfect answer.

Same but I've got the stoner lights.

Is there a thread or any good source of info about the Google Home? All my poo poo is Apple integrated pretty intensely but I can't help but be intrigued by the thought of yelling at a robot to make my lights purple or turn off lamps.

Ultrasonic cleaners are the best. You can do nearly anything with warm water and dish soap. Literally 1 drop of dawn swished in warm tap water makes anything with grime on it clean again. They cost nothing to run. You will be shocked at how dirty your rings, earrings, necklaces, glasses, etc, were beforehand. All you people buying specialized stuff for getting grime out are weird. Unless you're putting car parts in it I wouldn't worry about buying anything extra.

I have this fantasy of getting one big enough to strip a cast iron pan or take marks off stainless steel cookware. I don't know if it would even work, but I'd feel like a right mad scientist.

Probably not, the lack of water solubility is probably gonna be an issue there.

My preferred cleaning method there is simmering it in milk and making hot chocolate, but on anything bigger than a vape stem this is probably both impractical and unwise.

All you need is some salt and rubbing alcohol, then shake that poo poo.

Thanks for all the pillow recommendations. Got some googling to do

Lawen posted:

I did some comparison shopping on pillows last week. Narrowed it down to either the Casper pillow or Nest Bedding's Easy Breather. The Casper has a firm pillow wrapped in a softer pillow, the Nest has microfiber memory foam (latex microfiber also available) and a zipper on the side so you can easily remove filling to dial it in to preference. I went Nest, should be here in a couple days, I'll report back.

Oh I didn't know Casper made a pillow--i have their mattress. Looks like it has a trial period too? Lol. Might check it out...

KingColliwog posted:

Pillow talk : The only pillow I really like are the shredded memory foam ones. There's nothing that compares. A block of memory foam or those shaped things are all terrible. And regular pillows never made me happy.

Anyway, I think pillows are extremely personal and reviews and such can't help you that much. Going to a mattress store and trying a poo poo ton of pillow is what I did last time and it's the first time I ever got a pillow I really enjoy

Well yeah but there's so many options it's nice to get ideas. I don't think I've ever seen a pillow with shredded memory foam.

Nah, just use high percentage rubbing alcohol and some nice chunky kosher salt and shake the dickens out of it :v:

Then rinse off with hot water. Works for all my glass pieces.
