I’ve used the same “oneblade” for about 5 years in a row in the shower (changing the head every 6months or so) without any problems. Highly recommend unless you really need a skin-close shave, but even then I usually use the one blade and then do a final pass with a Mach 3 razor.

Anybody have vacuum recommendations? Is there a vacuum thread? I need a new one in the $100-250 range, preferably something specifically made for low pile carpet. Bagless/cordless would be a nice bonus, but I'm happy to sacrifice features for performance. I don't really care about attachments at all; I just need something that does a very good job vacuuming.

I like the Shark Navigator series with one major caveat (which might not apply to your situation): the rollers cannot be taken out for cleaning. As in, the roller assembly does not come apart, at least that I could figure out. So if you have long-haired people or pets in your home, eventually you'll have to spend some time with scissors and knives and whatnot trying to untangle the rollers. It's an unpleasant task made worse by being unable to take the rollers out. But as a vacuum, it works really well.

As in, the roller assembly does not come apart, at least that I could figure out. 2nding. I had a bottom-of-the-line NV60 from Walmart that worked like a charm for 10+ years (including 8 cat-hair years), at a net cost including filters and so forth of ~$10 per year. TBH it probably just died to a loose switch wire but I figured the cost of getting a decent soldering iron, learning how to use it, and setting fire to the house because I messed up something with mains voltage meant it was time to drop the $170 on the NV360 on Amazon. Yes, you will occasionally have to xacto or scissor long hair or long strand rug off the brush, but the no-tangle brush is louder and the models that have it start at $220 or thereabouts which is a bit past my threshold. Don't get the stick version though, people complain about the exhaust venting onto their torso and arms which is a bit unergonomic.

I'm looking for a monitor arm, and I'm not even sure what I want exists. Does anyone know of a gas-actuated or otherwise easily adjustable monitor arm with only vertical travel that's ideally also got a clamp, not a desktop stand? I currently have a typical elbow-style arm, but in my set-up I can't move the monitor up and down without also getting sideways movement, which drives me up the wall.

Decent low end is $75-200 Mid is $200-700 High is $700+ And what do you value most in them? Small and light Durability Clear picture For low end, you get one of those options, mid you get 2, high you get all 3.

Cheap but okish. Better, smaller, lighter, clearer. Similar to the above. Better picture, less durable. Bigger and a bit heavier, but better in every way. Like the last ones but better picture, less durable. All of these are from established brands. Given you’ll be hiking, I recommend keeping the magnification to 8x or below, because you’ll be holding it by hand and will have been exerting yourself hiking/climbing. All the ones here are 8x or below. Any of these will work for you. My personal recommendations for your case are the Vortexes (the second and fourth ones, the fourth over the second), as they’re going to be designed with the most durability in mind. Vortex primarily designs around hunters and their uses. I would also recommend a hard shell case for them. Something similar to this. Though it’ll likely come with a soft case. I’ve broken several sets by just dropping them on to a padded floor, so I always advocate for more protection. St_Ides has a new favorite as of 20:50 on Feb 20, 2022 |

Looking for an enclosure for reading data from an NVMe SSD (the little thin SSDs, whatever they're called). Is there one particular good one or are they all pretty much the same?

Like one to be used on a permanent/long term basis similar to those enclosures that let you use a 2.5 HDD over usb or something intended for swapping out like a SD card reader? The former exist but I’ve not heard of the latter. Haven’t looked either so eh.

I've got a couple of the internal cards and this Vantec enclosure: https://www.microcenter.com/product/608521/vantec-m2-nvme-ssd-to-usb-31-gen-2-type-c-enclosure-w-usb-type-c-cable-space-gray It's pretty sweet imaging from an SSD to another SSD and a whole rear end Windows install takes like 5 minutes. Having one of each type helps a lot if you have a desktop nearby.

I'm starting to go on some job interviews and I need some decent looking work pants. Ideally I'm thinking something that looks reasonably professional but would not be out of place in a warehouse environment. Like somewhere between slacks and Dickies. I know stuff like this exists but I have no idea what brands to look for or avoid for comfort or durability issues. Any suggestions?

Maybe you want something like this - https://www.duluthtrading.com/mens-...ants-work-pants I haven't tried them myself but your verbal description made me think that Duluth might be a good fit for what you are describing. I do have some of their other products (firehose pants, buck naked boxer briefs, now discontinued alaskan hardwear hoodie) and really like their quality.

I might go with those eventually, just for the durability, but for now I'm looking for something a little cheaper. Maybe I should have mentioned a budget. Stopped by Costco this evening and got a pair of these: https://www.costco.com/weatherproof-vintage-men%27s-tech-pant.product.100774791.html They're pretty comfy, look better than jeans, and for only $14.99 in store they're much more budget friendly. I won't be doing any actual work in them since they seem pretty flimsy, but they should be good enough for job interviews. I'm still open to other suggestions though if anybody has a go-to for this category of pants.

I really like Banana Republic's Traveler Pant -- super comfortable, 5-pocket style and cut more like jeans, although they're more like ~$100 (full price, but you shouldn't pay anywhere close to that). I have something like 10 pairs of them, but I also work(ed) exclusively in an office environment.

I went with Duluth for work pants because they still look somewhat professional and they actually are holding up with crouching and what not throughout the day. Bonus most have a leg side pocket on the right side for a phone.

Speaking of, anyone have recommendations for light and breathable pants? We’re not quite to mosquito season here but I’d love something other than shorts to wear in the summer and not get annihilated by bloodsuckers (or get heatstroke). Bonus points for long sleeves or button downs.

Check out REI or similar, lots of hiking/backpacking clothes tick boxes for lightweight, breathable, SPF protection, insect blocking, etc. (e.g. Prana, Patagonia, ExOfficio, Columbia). Unfortunately, they’re also usually both expensive and not especially durable.

Unfortunately, they’re also usually both expensive and not especially durable. I was going to say this. I have a pair of Patagonia lightweight long pants that seem to be holding up well. I wear them while working from home as it gives me a presentable look while being super comfy, but I could just as well go into the office with them (we're pretty casual) with a button down or wear them camping. Under Armor has some similar pants that are in their golf line that are lightweight and of decent quality. I have a pair or two of these as well.
