I bought a Google Home Max. They're $250 now, down from $300. I think the Sonos 5 has a bit better sound but certainly not twice as good. I mainly got it because Sonos speakers are horrible for traveling -- you basically have to reset the entire thing and manually link it to a new WiFi, and if you forget to unlink it, it'll stay there forever. Google Home stuff is way easier for that and guest access.

I am curious, you got the home max for traveling? What all do you use it for when you travel?

It's for home and traveling. I already have a network of Chromecast speakers and it replaced an older speaker + chromecast audio.

When I'm traveling (by car) to a rental house or something I'll bring it because a lot of rentals have no music setup, or a lovely music setup, and I like music. If I'm just gonna be by myself I just use headphones most likely. If I'm there with a bunch of people, it works great because anyone can hop on there, vs. a bluetooth speaker where you'd have to pair to it.

If this store is like any of the retailers that pop up on my Instagram ads I expect that's just a marketing ploy. Everything is "up to 70% off!!!1"

Those things are great. Don't be an idiot and leave it out in the rain like I did / do. The base will recover after drying out but the probes won't.

Also there's a different probe attachment designed specifically for getting air temperature when smoking which works well.

Right, considering the mark of a quality Aloha shirt is that the front pocket matches the rest of the pattern :eng101:

I clicked on an IG ad for something the other day, for something that was like 80% off!! down to 25$. Meanwhile, on amazon, the same thing from a dozen different Chinese “brands” was normally 5$. Same thing for the “it’s free! just pay shipping and handling for 12$” or something, and the actual thing is 2-3$ anywhere else. Instagram ads are a whole nother level of stupidity.

A 1-DIN plastic radio surround for the radio in the van - that's going to be modified into a 2-DIN surround.

Also two used backdoors for the same van - the current ones are quite dented and rusty.

In total it cost me $100 for the parts. At least now I klnow what to do in my holidays :D

Please tell me you have a standard weighted vest instead of a full-blown :bustem: plate carrier you use at the gym. I mean, I have several real plate carriers & I still got a regular weighted vest because I don't want to be "that guy" at the gym.

Sorry bro, I'm FULLY loving TACTICOOL when I'm doing my workouts.

I bought a Condor and I like it so much I might buy a 5.11 with real ballistic plates (for when the poo poo hits the fan, obviously).
