Just wasn’t for me, the whole interface was annoying to me and I missed the viewfinder more than I thought I would. I’m used to shooting on an old Powershot G2, and while the 10 doesn’t have everything in the world I want it’s pretty close

Cutest tumor in all of Oncology!
For my brother's housewarming gift I got him the DeWalt 20/40/Flexvolt cordless lawn mower and he absolutely loves it. I have a Ryobi 40 volt myself and electric lawn mowers are so quiet and so light I am genuinely surprised.

I have a slightly older model of this and it's excellent. So nice to not have to manage gas/oil/etc. Just plug in and go. Mine came with two batteries that last ~30 minutes each, which is perfect for my yard. I also picked up the trimmer which adds a 3rd battery into the mix.

Your price is far better than what I paid but I'm still happy.

I too have the older version of this, and it has worked great for several years. That's a really good price for a unit that came with a battery and charger.

I bought some stuff for working at home

Giant 32" 4K monitor because a decent looking option under $400 appeared (Dell S3221QS)

-Freaking great
-Actually makes sense to have 4K at this size
-Still need to have my face close enough for curvature to be very helpful
-Didn't realize pushing 4K @60Hz was so challenging for my relatively new work laptop

Fancy keyboard (Logitech MX Keys)

-Pretty much flawless
-Keys automatically light up when you put your hands near them
-Can bluetooth to my phone and back when I wanna type some poo poo

Fancy mouse (Razer Pro Click)

-Most ergonomic mouse I've used
-Super light which makes it easier to just forget
-Uses a stupid loving micro USB cable, and a nonstandard one at that, for no reason

Also just bought a new mower! Lowes has their 80v brushless Kobalt line on end of season clearance, so I scored a push mower for $250



This is way more comfortable than the Honda 215 self propelled I fixed up, and runs much quieter and mulches better than the 10$ garage sale craftsman I’ve been limping along for six years. Can’t believe I didn’t switch to an electric mower sooner!

A Good Mower.

I was surprised at how well the 80v mower worked, we tested a bunch out at work and this was my favorite of the battery powered mowers. If you have a smallish yard this works great.

gently caress. I recently bought a Deft, but didn’t like the small trackball.

Please don’t tell me this has a large trackball like the Kensington Expert Mouse.

It has the biggest balls I’ve ever fingered :heysexy:

Realtalk, it’s so good, I bought a second one for my workstation at home. I only wish I had moved to an index finger trackball years ago. Takes a day or two to get used to, but once you figure out how to use your middle finger as a clutch for better control, it’s the best input method I’ve ever experienced. Plus the battery lasts forever—a single eneloop pro AA rechargeable only needs swapped every few months with daily use, and I can switch between bluetooth or usb receiver with a single click for multiple workstations.

I just got a $15 microsoft bluetooth mouse for my laptop. It's not fancy and ergonomic or anything, but it seems like it works better than other bluetooth mice I've tried in the past, possibly because it uses bluetooth LE, and it connects completely instantly when I turn it on. It feels like using one of the cheap logitech wireless mice except there's no dongle to take up a usb port (and possibly destroy it if I put it in and take it out of a bag enough).

When I've tried bluetooth mice before they seemed to take longer to connect or otherwise be slightly less reliable than wireless mice that use dongles, so it's nice that the experience seems to have gotten better.

Do those work in areas that have really heavy rainfall?

I live in Portland and assumed that the surface tension needed for it to work would be overcome by sheer volume.


Then again, I'm a loving idiot and could be wrong about the whole thing.

This one doesn't use surface tension for that reason (and that debris can follow the flowing water over the lip as well). We get not a ton of overall rainfall but we do get a few bad storms a year that absolutely dump rain and I wanted to make sure I got one that keeps up with that. I hadn't been impressed with any until I found these because the surface tension hack isn't as reliable as I'd like.

This has a fine grate with supporting fins that causes water to "wick" through quickly, creating air bubbles that push debris down the slope. If you ever see it dripping or overflowing they'll come and fix it, forever. Same with it somehow actually getting clogged. These are "LeafFilter", and they also don't gently caress with your shingles.

We had a 120ft perimeter on the second story, and all told it was about $5K Canadian. Installation should take a half-day.

Nice, I used an Elecom HUGE for a couple of years, similar control layout but with a bigger ball (it's 52mm, the big Kensingtons are 55) and a big padded wrist/palm rest. Great for everything except games, where the lack of range of motion compared to a mouse becomes a limitation (you can have precision or speed but not really both at the same time). My bird chewed some chunks out of the palm rest so it ended up looking kinda ratty.

These are great. My wife and I bought some as a space-efficient way to fake some sunlight for our parrot, now that we're due for the winter months and he needs some semblance of a day-night cycle.

They can also provide him with a colour animation based around him, plus interesting responses to his hoots and chirps.

Any shadows? Do you see a dark triangular pattern when white? I'm wondering if mine are defective but as every single one of them I got is like that I'm unsure if I got a bad batch or that's just the way they are.

Only the very faintest trace of one. I think it has to do with the internal structure of the panel.


Please excuse the dubious quality photo. The lines along the panel aren't visible to the naked eye.
