Hi, welcome to the Internet! Your first day here can be awfully confusing, so take a minute to look around, read the FAQ, and get settled in.

The best flip flops I ever owned were Crocs. They were unbelievably comfortable. I want to hate them so bad but nope theyre great shoes.

Mario Batali wears them so that rules too.

I see PopSockets everywhere and always thought they were dumb, but I caved and got one because my coworker is constantly raving about it and I actually really like it a lot. I recently got the Pixel XL 2 and it's sort of hard to use one-handed with my small, girlish hands (on account of being a small girl), and getting one of these things has been great. And I haven't dropped my phone on my face once yet!

I'm sure Crocs are comfortable, people who rock them usually look like they're dressed for maximized comfort 24/7

If you wanted comfortable shoes you could've gotten Nike free 3.0 a few years ago and adidas pureboost now.

If the free 3.0 is the one that's basically a sock with a sole glued to it, then yea, they are great but have a ton less utility then crocs. Crocs are like the ultimate outdoor utility shoe, they dry in minuets and you can just hose them down when they get nasty.

I went a little nuts with the pre-black friday sale vidya games myself

-Forza 7

-Madden 18
-Project Cars 2

All of those except Forza and D2 were $30 cdn or less, even less in Trump bux right now I'm sure.

Great buy! We found one of the expensive Japanese ones at a thrift shop a few years ago and it's been awesome--definitely makes much tastier rice than the 20$ Wolfgang Puck ones. Only thing that sucks is trying to translate the buttons

I didn't think so either, but several music festivals I've been to in the past year or two have had payment plans like that and I'm so glad they do because it's pretty much the only way I was able to attend them. I haven't had 2 or 3 hundred bucks extra at one time after paying bills in a while.

Not a Tacx Neo, you have chosen... poorly. (I ride on rollers like a pleb/trackie so take this with a massive grain of sarcasm.)

Content: I bought a pair of these boots! Except I didn't. I just paid a whole big whack of money and I will get them in 10 weeks or so. Dayton custom/made to order Service Boot "Boondocker." They made a limited number of them a while ago and I like the style so much I asked them if they would do it again, and they were like heck yeah we will.

It's only at a few stores, like I did mine at Toys R Us. It's a good idea considering how broke everyone is, and it's nice to not have to worry about the holiday rush. Though I'll probably have it paid off by Tuesday because I'm impatient :confuoot:

A gift of a dollar from someone who only has five dollars is much more meaningful than a gift of a thousand dollars from someone who has a million.

Unfortunately the Neo is literally twice the price and I don't think the features warrant spending another $800. The Direto is the cheapest direct drive out there, I'll try it out on Monday, it just came in the mail today but I'm still waiting on a cassette and I'd be riding outdoors on the weekend either way.

The first gift is 20% of their net worth compared to 0.1% for the latter anyway :smug:
