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.

Just ordered a pair of these a few days ago: https://uk.mauijim.com/en/shop/sunglasses/classic/kawika

I was similarly disappointed by the quality of my previous Ray-Bans. Plasticky and poor lens quality both in terms of acuity and how easily they scuffed. Temple ended up bent out shape quickly without much abuse at all.

These were heinously expensive because I went and had prescription lenses in too.

I've bought and returned 5 pairs of Ray Bans for being broken or counterfeit. Done with that brand.

What's a different, superior brand? Bonus for Amazon.

They're the contractor that makes aviators for the air force, so if you've got base access somewhere you can pick up a pair for cheap. They make some pretty nice glasses.

What the gently caress? Is this an actual real thing? It looks ridiculous. Like you've got a mattress strapped to your back.

Indeed it is! It's still pretty bulky relatively speaking, but it's super light and still a huge step up from traditional molded kayaks... I guess we shall see if it handles as well as traditional styles!

In retrospect, it probably wouldn't just been a lot cheaper to steal a few mail crates from the post office

Pro tip: as someone who has sold on Amazon, do NOT buy designer poo poo on Amazon. They have an Amazon fulfillment program, which lets sellers send in stuff to Amazon for Amazon to pull, pack, and ship to customers. Most people opt for commingling, where the stuff you send is poured into the same bin as amazon's stock and everyone else's stock. When anyone orders that item from those sellers, the item is pulled at random from that bin. Amazon doesn't really inspect what you send in, other than to verify that it looks similar to the other stuff and that you've sent in the right quantity, so some people send in counterfeit items because they know they probably won't get caught, and they'll get a possibility for enough good reviews that they will outweigh the occasional bad review.

Edit: I sold self-shipped vintage video game stuff there from my childhood. I learned about this stuff from lurking the Amazon seller forums.

You could get four-channel tapes and even vinyl records. It also comes complete with connections for a decoder for not yet existing four channel FM broadcasts!

It's a Pioneer QX 949, and cost me $20. It's not in great shape, but it pushes a lot of power!

Holy poo poo, that thing is sweet. I got my dad's old SX-939 but I think there's something hosed up with the protection circuit as it cuts out about 5 seconds after power on.

Tungsten is it's own reward. You hoard it up as a status symbol really.



They are fishing sinkers, tungsten being one of the few reasonable metals denser than lead, let you use smaller sinkers while still having enough weight to do what needs to be done. I'm still also transferred to vibrations a lot better than lead so you can feel bottom contour better. Apparently the forming of tungsten it's pretty difficult and Iirc China is pretty much the only place that does it. The site I've been ordering from is way way cheaper than anywhere else I found it available and gives free shipping after you spend $40.
