Over the last few years, I acquired too many bits in the process of building out a home hardware set. However, I've never gotten a good, cheap driver to use the bits because I just have a bunch of 4 way screwdrivers.

Until now:


I don't even care about the 50 included bits. The driver is ratcheting, which is nice, but the important thing is a long, narrow shaft with a magnetic tip. $5 on Christmas sale. :getin:

Brand new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for $200? gently caress yeah! Also,





Zoom H4n recorder and Sony MDR-7506 headphones (which sound weird, coming from my old AKGs. Gonna take some getting used to).
The 7506 are studio monitors. Nice for monitoring but a bit fatiguing to listen to.

Quick update, this is the $100 defect/damage:



Thanks, Amazon warehouse!
Is that listed under the normal item under "Used" or is it a different link? I'm not looking for a full set but I do need a 3 qt tri-ply sauce pan.

Dang, that's really nice-looking and I might pick it up myself.
Do it. It's the best all-around case. Street price is $110 + shipping, but you can clear $100 w/shipping if you want for a sale.

These waterproof gloves were posted on Slickdeals, $10 w/free shipping. But they're only 40g Thinsulate and I already have 40g Thinsulate leather gloves, and I didn't like the camo:


Inspired by the fact the wind chill was 0*F this morning, I ended up buying these. 80g Thinsulate, Gore-Tex, look better, and on "sale" from $60 to $15, though shipping and tax brought it up to $22. More than I wanted to spend, but they should last a long time.

Good luck with the G710. Pretty much turned me off of Logitech gear after keys started breaking less than 6 months after I got it.

Logitech wouldn't honor their warranty without a store receipt, and of course you can't buy replacement keys, that would be crazy!!!!!
I think most manufacturers need proof of purchase, but Logitech specifically has been taken advantage of in the past. They used to send out replacement mice with just a serial number, not even requiring you to send the faulty mouse back, so people bought old mice on eBay and called in for warranty service to get an upgraded new one.

I've put it through multiple light showers and I've never gotten wet.

Also I've worn the coat for two seasons and haven't washed it. I don't think it needs to be washed.
It's synthetic insulation, the whole point of which is easy care, namely, washing.

I use my iPhone 6 naked, but sometimes, when I'm out and about, I'd like to have some protection. Enter, the Zerolemon Razor Amor:

Similar design to the Spigen Armor, arguably better, but it's $10 on Amazon right now with coupon ZEROLEM3

the spigen version has a clear film there to prevent dust
Ah, that's nice then. Like I said, it's just to protect my phone if I'm going to a concert or something like that, so there shouldn't be an issue of dust getting inside and spending weeks or months scratching the back.

Criterion's are great. If they have released a movie there is a high chance nobody has done a better job then them with it.

I just wished they shipped to Australia and made Blu Rays in PAL.
Pretty much all Blu-rays are 1080p/24fps. NTSC/PAL is irrelevant.

Region locking, however, is still a thing, unfortunately.

You can get a jack, some jack stands and the tools to do an oil change for under $100. It takes less than an hour to do on most cars, costs about half of what a shop would charge and its immensely satisfying to do your own work on your car.
Doesn't the disposal fee for the old oil pretty much remove any cost benefit? I can get a change of 5W30 for $20 + tax at my local independent shop.

Radioshack in the next town over is closing. Everything is 90% off.

Everything.

I bought about 30 LED lights, a bunch of heat shrink tubes, a pile of usb/hdmi/DisplayPort/SATA adapters of all sorts and about 1000 feet of Cat6 cable for $40.

But when I said everything was for sale, I mean that anything that wasn't bolted down was for sale.



I bought the cell phone display tables.

They're pretty much solid metal and are surprisingly sturdy. They'll make some :krad: work benches for the shop.
gently caress, I completely forgot about the liquidation sales. I totally would have bought... Uh... iPhone 6 accessories? Maybe some basic electronics like fuses and... an RC copter? Nah, those would have sold out early.

The factory battery on my Thinkpad X201 is down to like 15 minutes. I've waffled on how much to spend on a replacement, but I got an Amazon gift card and this thing has 4.5/5 stars with 95 reviews. I would get a 9 cell battery, but apparently the aftermarket ones aren't any good.

The stupid flat tire screen on the 360 ruins it for me. The urbane though looks like a real watch though. It's probably the best looking one out there right now. And frankly the size of either of them doesn't matter considering the size of what real watchmakers are putting out these days. The urbane and apple watch look big until you put them next to a 52mm watch.
Normal people don't wear Panerais.
