I needed a new bluetooth speaker for my living room and wanted something nicer than a $20 wal mart option, so after some basic research I went with this contraption, known as the Arisen Windbox (image stolen from their site): It was $60, and aside from looking slick as hell, holy poo poo I never knew a bluetooth speaker at this price range could sound so good! The supposed wind technology is supposed to help with the bass, idk if that's true or not but the lower frequencies sound stunningly great. This drat speaker puts my basic computer speakers to shame, and makes me want to invest more in some nice computer monitors now... Also you can feel the air pushing out through a hole in the back. Anyways, very happy with this purchase, I'm planning on setting up a tablet on a stand next to this puppy on a shelf (possibly a glass shelf?!) somewhere in my living room for a slick music control station. I'm also looking forward to cranking it up and jamming along with my guitar because everything sounds so crisp and balanced! I wouldn't rely on it for a large outdoor party but it gets more than annoyingly loud at the upper limits of the volume range within the confines of my 1br apartment. A+ for style and sound quality, good targeted purchase recommendation courtesy of Big Data

I mean, I've been running one for 2+ years now with 0 issues that I bought off Reddit's r/microsoftsoftwareswap The only reason I can think I'd have to buy a new one is when I swap out my CPU+mobo soon... Oh yeah speaking of:    Asus GTX 1060 Dual All for my SO's pink & white themed build!

Paused my search for a newer car to purchase a Tuft and Needle queen sized bed. Turns out incredible sciatic pain is a terrific motivator to make you raise your budget up a good bit. Should be here probably Monday, and the frame I had to buy for it should be here Friday. Only downside is gently caress, now I gotta limp my gimpy rear end down to the store and buy some decent queen sized sheets.

And then you can upgrade those for free on microsoft website and they grant you a windows 10 license. They might stop granting free upgrades at some point but for now it's still a cheap way to get windows. Look up SA mart, there's some for sale there.

Technically it's for people that require the Assistive Technologies, but they aren't really checking to make sure you're actually using them after the install.

Thanks so much for sharing that, y'all. I just a couple months ago got my PC I built like four years ago up and running and it's still running 7. I thought the window to upgrade to 10 was long ago, I really appreciate you cluing me in. For anyone in my situation, you can find the link here.

I have bad news for you, friend; American Apparel declared bankruptcy and sold off all their assets before closing down shop months ago. There are no more American Apparel shirts, and it seriously bums me out because I love their 50/50 shirts and wear them all the time.

Honestly if you hadn't already switched to Uniqlo for your basics before AA folded you're behind the curve. Cheaper and better-made, plus you're not supporting awful people.

Their heattech and airisms are the perfect undershirts and gym shirts. Only synthetics I've found that don't stink after a few hours as well.

It was a bit more than that, to be fair...Wikipedia posted:The company has been criticized for its unconventional corporate culture.[108] Charney claimed to have slept with employees, and reportedly masturbated numerous times and had oral sex performed on him by an employee during a series of interviews with a writer for the magazine Jane.[109][110]

I mean it did say it was "a series of interviews", which makes it even weirder. Like I bet the second time the reporter didn't wear open toed shoes.

The only problem is after awhile listening to it all night I couldn't stop noticing the 'digitalness' of the sound, a kinda popping in the background. For the same price you can get the Marpac Dohm-DS, which uses a real fan. It doesn't get as loud though. treiz01 posted:

I like Maui Jim but they are pricey. But I rather avoid luxottica crap like Ray Ban. e: don't get them from Amazon though because it's not an authorized retailer for Maui Jim so it doesn't come with a warranty.

Far softer than I expected (and softer than I prefer) but it seems to just be a top layer of softness. The layers beneath give great support. Creepiness: I got a letter in the physical mail from Casper Mattresses saying that they guarantee their mattress will outperform my new Tuft and Needle and that I should give it a try if I decide to return mine!
