Yeah - it's got the "magic seat" and one of the configurations is called refresh mode. It's pretty sweet - gonna be great on long road trips.

I bought a crystal black 2018 Honda Fit - it's the first car I've ever personally, individually bought - and it is lovely and I find myself making excuses to go drive places.
I have an older Fit and I really love it. It was cheap, gets good mileage, fits a surprising amount of stuff inside, and yet is pretty small and easy to park. The engine isn't super powerful, but it's really good enough for all normal driving. I'll probably buy another one if I ever need to replace it.

Yeah it has so much space! And it isn’t powerful but it still feels sporty enough to be fun to drive.

I thought maybe it was decent power-wise, the originally came with paddle shifters IIRC.

My trim level has paddle shifters, though the engine isn't any more or less powerful than the base model. It feels "powerful enough" and I certainly didn't feel like it was struggling on the highway at 75-80 MPH, but then again, I've never driven anything that would be considered powerful so IDK.

Is that a guitar capo?



Over the weekend I bought a few things I've had my eye on for awhile...

A pair of Sony WH-1000XM2 noise cancelling headphones to replace my dying Chinese "Bohm" headphones:



New Roomba 890 that I can use an app to create scheduling, better navigation, and has tangle free brushes that don't need pet hair pulled out of every day:



And some of the new Amazon Echoes so we can have simultaneous whole home music... Soon as they add Spotify to that ability:



And some new Christmas decorations from Target, because they've got some pretty great stuff to choose from this year.

E: Oh, and a complete set of replacement LED lights for my car, because the rear turn signal bulb died and I figured gently caress it, might as well go whole hog since I'm sure the rest of the lights aren't too far behind.

Are they still doing stuff? I remember I think Napster or maybe Kazaa had some kind of recommendation engine back in the very early 2000s and I found a few of their songs through that, never heard anyone talk about them before or since.

Yes they are. last album was I think 2015 or 2014, then Rob Crow took a break from music for a while, but they are touring, so I imagine they are working on a new album too.

I don't do black friday, though I was tempted this year by some power tools. But I did pick these up on Saturday for a bargain at a garage sale.

This pretty decent old Sansui 2000a receiver.


Seen topless here for a dust out and some pot cleaning. Not bad for something approaching 50 years old. Looks pretty well cared for. Even still had the schematic in an envelope glued to the bottom of the case.


I'd like to find another old receiver from higher up in its brand's range eventually, but this one is pretty solid for now.

Also these Sansui SP3000s, also in excellent shape.

It's a kit to make an electronic die. If you tilt it it'll generate a random die roll and display it on the LEDs. I just kinda feel like doing some soldering and I could hypothetically get some use out of it. And it was $5 on sale so why not.

Even at $5 it seems like a waste of money.
