Lilleput posted:The Rancilio Silvia is probably the cheapest espresso machine, that is recommendable We've got a Breville Duo-Temp thermoblock machine for a wedding present, and it's not terrible. It's certainly not café quality, and I wouldn't want to drink it straight, but it makes perfectly acceptable lattes for the morning commute. That Rancilio just got added to my Amazon wish list, though... That would be a lovely upgrade. On topic, bought some flowers for my mom and a tomato plant for the porch.

As awesome as that watch is, yeah, you sound have done that a bit differently. Even if you just bump up to a Suit Supply suit. They are 500-1k, but if you got an Omega that shouldn't be too hard to swing.

I got a subscription to Spotify Premium, and I'm enjoying it very much so far. Between that and Netflix, all my free time now has background noise. My Denon receiver has a Spotify app, so I can easily have it play cool music at any time. My phone can now save albums or playlists for offline listening, so I can listen on my drive to work without using data or losing a streaming connection in the many spots on the drive with no data signal. For music nerds, I'd recommend giving it a shot. It's much better than Pandora.

It's a Trilby, you plebe. advion posted:I just bought these to go with my CSP v2s and eventual H/SQ Shifter. What rim(s) did you get? I'd love a new wheel, but I need a shifter and better pedals first. A load cell brake pedal would be so nice, and the pedal vibration under lockup would be much more helpful than wheel vibration under lockup.

advion posted:Got the Formula Rim for now. I want to see what else Fanatec puts out if anything. I'll probably just get the wheel hub next. They look like such an improvement over my CSRs. My CSR wheel is still just fine, except I wish the force feedback had some more balls. First on the list, though, is a shifter. I'm staying away from the CSR shifter, since it looks like a toddler's toy. Hopefully I can save up for both by this Thanksgiving, so I can race the poo poo out of them this winter. Also, don't buy Fossil watches either. They are better than Armani, but only because you are only kinda getting ripped off instead of completely getting ripped off. If you don't want a snooty(kickass) mechanical watch, just get a Timex, Seiko quartz, or even a Citizen Eco-Drive if you want a really well made watch for normal people. Their batteries will last forever and a day, and will be easier to replace. My old Pulsar goes through a battery every two years or less - one of the reasons I went mechanical.

Vrikkian posted:My liquor stock was getting dangerously low. I only had a half-full bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and I didn't feel like drinking Christmas tree water tonight, so I grabbed this on the way home: Cut it with ginger ale. Gives it some fizz and softens the bite, without hiding the delicious taste. Or learn how to make a proper Old Fashioned. I didn't buy it, but my parents bought some horseshoes and never opened the box. I took them home and played two games with my wife (and won both games  ) We live a block from a park with horseshoe pits, so hopefully we will pay a lot this summer.

 Two new pairs of shoes - Adidas Busenitz. I wanted a set of gray shoes similar to my red Sambas (also pictured) and they had a sale, so I got two. The gum soles will be in regular rotation with the Sambas, and the white soles will be for non-work occasions when I want a light colored summer shoe.

Butt Savage posted:Those grey ones are my dream shoes. Where'd you get them? Zumiez, 70 bucks for dark gray and 25 for the lights (Yay sales). I looked everywhere I could, and the only place I could find Adidas soccer style shoes in a non-black colorway was Zumiez. Other places had Samoas, but I don't like the way they fit. I wanted to try Dragons, but couldn't find any. Also, I can't understand why Asics Onitsuka Tigers are so recommended, I didn't like them

rrrrrrrrrrrt posted:My first foray into clipless pedals: Clipless pedals are excellent, especially ones with a built in platform like those. I will now only ride clipless unless I am doing jumps - the security of being attached to the bike has really helped my riding speed. You can still get accidentally unclipped if you strike a rock or root or something, though...

From my understanding, the previous version of clip-in pedals had that firm rubber cage around the toe. This cage is what prevented your foot from coming off the pedals. This modern design does away with this clip cage, and is therefore clipless. E:

 Lenovo T440s with a solid state drive and extended battery. This battery is ridiculous. I have no doubt that it could last over 12 hours on a full charge with standard use. Well, I didn't actually buy this one since I got it from my new job as a work computer (and therefore can't install stuff on it) but my wife likes it and needs a new laptop... so we'll probably be buying one when the right deal comes along. I did get to expense a laptop bag from Staples, so I kinda bought stuff?

Trillest Parrot posted:tc electronic RS212 bass cabinet to go with my 210 and fatten up the low end. This is my setup now (not my pic, but the same gear), which is about 150lbs. lighter and a lot smaller than my piecemeal gear from Craigslist. And just in time for a gig! Modular cabs are the best. I love my 2x12 fullrange, but it is the size of a 6x10 and doesn't fit in my car alongside my upright. I'm deciding what to build next: another front facing horn loaded 1x10 to match my current little cab, or a horn loaded 10“ subwoofer to stack with it. Either one will be much more portable, with drat near the same output of the behemoth cab.

Sorry brah, but that's not a good looking watch - especially to wear with a suit. A Timex Weekender with a leather strap actually has a readable face, classy styling with plenty of color options, and a price tag that reflects a realistic value. Back on topic, I just bought a BMT from Subway, and it was delicious.

beanieson posted:New Bike repair stand Day That's a sick colorway on that Cannondale, super cool. Something about loud colors on bikes makes me fuzzy inside. I got a Joe Blow floor pump because my lovely electric pump finally died, and these Beckmans because one pair of Red Wings isn't enough. They were a great price so I won't feel bad about wearing them through the snow.

I tried overshoes with my Iron Rangers, wasn't a fan at all. I've got mink oil, I guess I'll just have to apply it much more often than I would otherwise. I got them for a hundred bucks, though, so two seasons still wouldn't be awful before re-soling if it really comes to that.

That's a fantastic deal. I'm almost done with a sixty hour audiobook on the Third Reich and that sounds like a great thing to add to my collection. I check out audiobooks from Overdrive but it would be nice to have my own copy of some, and not have to wait in line for the good stuff.

drat that's a good price for a neck-thru bass from a good maker. Don't skimp on the luthier work, if they mess up the fingerboard or create a dead spot it will be a pain in the rear end to fix.

 Two matching Dell IPS monitors, monitor mounts, mouse pad, and various cables to upgrade to a triple-monitor sim setup. A few years down the road, after my next computer build, I'll get a nice center monitor so I have good color reproduction all the way across... but this old TN monitor is responsive so it's staying for now. The left monitor is still on a stand because I occasionally use it on the desk with my work laptop and that won't work if it's mounted to my sim rig   A bunch of books, almost all from the library book sale. Paperbacks were a buck, hardcovers were two. I think there are only three books on this shelf that weren't from the library sale. E: Yup, the three on the right weren't from the sale, but the crochet books for my wife aren't on this shelf so it almost evens out

This one splits in two with a few seconds of work with a drill - unscrew the fasteners for the two pipes in front of the seat and the angled bracing pipe, and it can be carried in two trips (sans monitors).
