Decided I needed a blender, to make blended ice lemonade in the summer, and strawberry banana milkshakes. It was only $28, and it's quite powerful and not loud at all. Only takes 4 seconds to liquify stuff. But I definitely won't try blending my iPad with it.

'13 Gibson SG Standard I've tried hard to bond with Les Pauls, but SG's are more to my taste. I like the lighter body, and the tone cuts through the mix better. Got it on blowout for almost half the price of what 2014 models cost.

 Playing it on my iPad mini retina. Played it for about 10 hours so far, and i'm just sinking my teeth into it. I'll be spending a ridiculous amount of time with it. Well worth the $15 price tag.  A case of these, @ 79 cents each. I've tried a bunch of coconut water brands, and this one is my fav, even though it's partly sugarcane water.

I've always wanted these driving gloves, but I think people would laugh seeing me rock them in my Honda Insight. My next car should warrant using these. Especially with a metal shift knob and 115 degree days in southern Nevada. So I got the bicycle equivalent of a 100,000 mile tuneup. They thoroughly take it apart, and everything gets soaked and blasted with cleaning solution, then it's re-assembled, parts are greased, drivetrain is re-adjusted, the wheel's trued, new brake and shifting cables and housing, brake pads, new tires, new chain, and new grip tape. Some of these things I could do on my own, but it all comes in one nifty package. My LBS always hooks me up, so they deserve the business. I don't know dick about wine, but i'm trying this inexpensive bottle, to go with some cheese and crackers.  Old Vine Red Lot 59 It's layered, and soft in the finish, whatever the gently caress that means.

 A book about the only known person to have been born in a North Korean concentration camp that managed to escape. His life in the camp, his escape, and his transition to a normal society is pretty insane. Since he was born and raised in the camp, he believed the rest of the world was the same, so he had no desire to escape. It was only when a man who lived on the outside came into the camp, and told him stories of the outside world that made him want to escape.

Picked up a deal for 3 months of audible for $6 (3 books) so I could get The Great Courses titles, which are massive and pricey. 48 45min lectures. The professor is surprisingly funny which is nice. Next two months will be the courses in ancient Rome and Egypt. Good poo poo for history geeks, and people needing something for the gym or long work commutes.

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. http://slickdeals.net/f/7338342-audible-three-month-membership-1-95-month-6 People who already have an Audible account can still do the deal. Also you can get a NY Times and Wall Street Journal audio sub free with it as well.

MA-Horus posted:If you're doing the History of Ancient Egypt done by Professor Brier, get ready to enjoy. He's an immensely awesome lecturer and literally THE expert in Egyptian-style mummification. I'll definitely be getting that one next. I hear mummification is wonderfully sophisticated. It's pretty amazing that we have the preserved body of Egypt's greatest ruler from 3,200 years ago. We don't even have a single portrait for many major historical figures who lived in the middle ages, but we still have the actual face, skin, hair, and nails of an ancient king who ruled long before Jesus, Buddha, or Muhammad was born. Even though he resembles beef jerky now, it's neat just to look at his face and try to contemplate everything he witnessed over his 67 year reign. Now to segway into jeans. My car got broken into a week ago, me and my girlfriends luggage got stolen. Got a couple pairs to replace ones that got lost.

HERAK posted:Where did you get this? My wall needs it. Since official prints cost a fortune, I ordered a custom print. I had to make it small, since the source photo isn't high res.

colas posted:[quote="ChocNitty" post="437728109"] I took the highest res photo I could find to use as a source image, which was this one (1600x653): http://i.imgur.com/RznllTw.jpg Then I made a poster print on Staples website: http://www.staples.com/sbd/content/copyandprint/posters.html I chose the medium size 18x24". The uncropped image's actual size is about 10"x24". Mine was printed semi gloss. I had a look at the print and quality wise its fine, I could have maybe gotten away with making it 20-30% larger, but the size between Staples medium and large is too big. If they offered custom sizes, then I could have gone larger, but custom sizes are pricey. This print size is good for smaller rooms, bedroom, office, hall, kitchen, bathroom. You'd definitely want a higher res image to make a print large enough to be suitable as a living room piece. Now it's in the process of being framed at a local framing place. The matting and frame thickness will make the final product larger. I picked Staples because their price made it a small gamble, they were fast, and offered store pickup close to where I live. I'm satisfied with how it came out.

woot fatigue posted:Oh man the whole point of a Gursky print is the large format and fine details. You miss out printing from such a low-res source. True, but those large prints are unobtainable, and i'm hanging it in front of my desk where it will be viewed close up. It's still going to look great and fill the empty space nicely. Maybe someone can use their tech savvy and find a high rez scan that could yield a larger print. Seeing some original Gursky prints in person must be a glorious thing.

I didn't think wool was anything special until I bought a genuine merino wool cycling jersey. On cold nights I would bike up hill and i'd start sweating like crazy, then when i'd coast downhill my body temperature would drop and my own sweat would start making me shiver. But the wool keeps you warm even when its wet, while allowing moisture to evaporate. It's naturally anti bacterial so after using it on 3 rides without washing it, it barely smells, when a cotton shirt would be reeking of b.o.  Time to ride elephants and blow poo poo up.

Leonardo Da Vinci by Artibras. It's a massive treasure trove. It weighs 11 pounds. It has over 1,500 illustrations and covers the wide range of fields he worked in. Too drat big to take anywhere though. Reading it is an ordeal, like you're a wizard looking up spells in a harry potter movie. I have some expensive watches, but i've been into old LCD watches lately. It's good to enjoy a watch for reasons other than it being cool or having prestige.

I had a Zoom PS04, but the interface was horribly designed. Learning how to do anything beyond the most basic tasks was confusing as hell, and it used uncommon memory cards that were expensive, and ultimately the buttons started getting stuck. I was able to record much better sounding demo's with an iPhone and an iRig adapter, using NanoStudio and JamUP, which was a lot easier and cheaper as well. Hopefully they got their poo poo together. I was also using those same headphones. Great sound, but the paper thin leather veneer over the earmuffs slowly came off and left little bits of black material all over the house.

Got this as a gift: It's a portable battery charger that has a flexible solar panel that wraps around it when not in use. The solar panels charge slower than balls (2 full sunny days for a full smartphone charge), so that function is kind of a novelty, but it also charges via micro USB. Since I need to carry it on me anyways, and I live in an area that gets a lot of sun all year, it's worth using the magical solar.

My parents had this in their fridge, and when I went to visit them I tried it, and was shocked that it was a diet soda. It's the only diet soda i've tried that doesn't taste like a diet soda. You can't go wrong with Yamaha FG's. Easily the best entry level acoustic guitars out there. Elliott Smith's main guitar was an older Yamaha FG. Make sure to put some top notch strings on it to get the most out of it though.  I picked up Forza Horizon 2. I've been renting it from gamefly, but it's going to keep me occupied for several months, and the cost of it used made it a smarter decision to just buy a copy.

The stories that revolve around the famous historical icons usually don't stray far from war and politics.
