After much waffling I bought a paid of AirPods. Also a new bag of coffee beans.

AirPods are my favorite Apple product ever and also my favorite earbuds/headphones. You made a good choice.

Same. I've used them daily since I got them a few months ago and they're so much more convenient than untangling earbud wires. Just try not to drunkenly lose one like I did.

They can do the sealing without the vacuuming?

Any buying tips?

Thrift stores are gold for vacuum sealers, since they make great gifts for people who are never going to use them.

Unless you want a bunch of useless attachments (or want to use it for canning) just buy a cheap one. At the low end, they are all pretty much the same. I absolutely love mine, it was like $30 and still sucks (in the good way) 2 years in.

Buy the rolls in bulk on amazon.

They are also well priced at Costco.

I also bought a $30 one years ago (from meh.com I believe) and I use it whenever I buy meat at Costco. I can vacuum it all up into individual portions and when I thaw something out months later it's just as good as the day I bought it. Also makes using it with a Sous Vide crazy easy.

I went with a cheaper one and forewent the cutter in favor of saving a few bucks. This one goes for ~70 on Amazon, but I got it for ~45 from ebay, so I would say look there?

I've been after one for a couple of years now but haven't been too keen on paying full (£180) price for one, but Amazon were selling them brand new for £120 yesterday for some reason so I snagged that poo poo as soon as I saw it.

Nice! I have the hooded version, this jacket is awesome.

TBH I'm a great big Apple doofus anyway so it was only a matter of time, but lots of good feedback certainly helped. I was reluctant to drop the money on them because I bought some Bose QC35s not that long ago and thought I might get by on the basic Earpods, but the wires drove me mad, especially at the gym. And the Boses are too sweaty to walk around in.

I have the QC35s as well and the Airpods are worth it. I still use both all the time but if I don't need noise cancelling or I'm doing something active I'll use the Airpods so I don't sweat as much. The convenience factor is also high for me since I use them as a headset at work for conference calls as well as to listen to music and being able to switch between multiple devices quickly is nice.

It’s worth noting the AirPods are not sweat/water resistant at all so be careful. The apple store employee told me they were rated the same as the current iPhones and when i took them on my first run I fried one of them from sweat (I’m in Florida). When I took them back less than a week later the same employee was there and was confused when I corrected her after looking up the actual specs myself.

They are great for casual or less sweaty stuff though.

To be fair though since Christmas I’ve been working out with them multiple times a week + sleeping with them every night and mine are perfect. I’m a sweaty Florida guy too.

Yeah, BE.

Just looked at my email history with them. Four emails:

  • Order receipt
  • Order update ("ring is being made, estimated delivery date is x, here's how you care for a ring")
  • Shipment confirmation/tracking number
  • Request for a review

I never had to take action on anything (except the optional review obviously). I also had no engravings, etc if that helps you in any way. I ordered mine back in March, so I guess it's possible their policy changed but unlikely. Stay safe buddy.

You could of gotten a Spence diamond. They are man made 100% real diamonds that are formed by compressing methane gasses (Fart Diamonds :v: ) and carbon. Basically by using :science: they speed up the natural compression process from decades to weeks.

I did a lot of work withe company so ended up with a lot of info on how they are made.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Stepped off a curb badly and into a pothole on Saturday, had some pain and was walking with a limp door a few days... Finally went to urgent care in Wednesday.
So I guess I 'purchased' an urgent care visit, 6 X-rays (3 foot, 3 ankle), two foot splints, a few Ace bandages, and a pair of crutches because I broke my ankle...and was walking on it for 4 days like an idiot.

Brave yourselves for the total cost thanks to lovely US Healthcare:

$50.

$95 if my insurance denies the claim for crutches.

My fiance just broke up with me, so after November/open enrollment, I'm going to miss being on her Cadillac insurance through the state government and will have to go back to my employer's high deductible plan.

VV Agree, I think it's lame that they're sticking steel on some of the newer (cheaper) models.

I bought a (bass) guitar too! Fretless 5'er. Not a fan of any other Ibanez I ever tried but their Gary Willis line is magical, especially the neck. Finger ramp is aces too.
