This thread knocked it out of the park with the ExOfficio boxer recommendations a while back. Any similar recommendations for life changing undershirts?

I recommend checking out MeUndies boxer briefs too, they're super comfortable.

I bought Warbreaker because my library didn't have a copy and I was told I had to read that before book 2 of Stormlight Archive. Great book series so far, reading Edgedancer before moving onto book 3.

This also, gently caress having money.

I have the 1080 ti as well, it's a great card. I highly recommend a high refresh rate monitor, especially one with adaptive sync like GSYNC. It was a game-changer, pun intended.

You sound like someone who doesn't know the comfort of being able to lean back in your favorite chair and still be able to see the tv without craning your neck forward.

That's why bought a power loveseat with a moving headrest, you can recline as far back as you want and still don't have to put your TV in the dumbest possible location

Does the headrest tilt your head forward as you recline back so you can still see the tv?

Yep! It's absolutely fantastic. It's adjustable separately from the reclining, so you can use it as much or little as you want.

I wish they'd dial up the spice and dial down the lime flavor on those a bit. Crunchy fajita's probably my favorite flavor but not hot enough.

Got this in the mail today. Been aiming to buy 1 of these a week in hardcover until I have the series finished. Got delayed and didn't buy any in early December thanks to Christmas, but now I'm back on track.

If you have a 2nd and Charles near you check them out, I got a full set eventually from them for <$10 each, some as low as $3.

On the left is the real Pietrangelo Blue Banner stanley cup champs jersey my brother got me for XMas. On the right is an absolutely real looking Binnington stanley cup champs "knockoff" from China that I got for $20.

Super happy with both. I honestly can't tell if the adidas Binnington jersey is fake or not. It looks 100% real.

It could be the lighting but that knockoff looks awful. It's funny because Fanatics jerseys are really really close to being cheap chinese knockoffs themselves.

Also got both south park games. Easily the funniest games ever made. You could just watch the cut scenes and its as good as a regular south park episodes.

The amount of effort and time the creators of south park put into those games was amazing. They had their actual animation team make all the cutscenes I believe

Bought my TV this last weekend. Went in hellbent on getting the 65" C9, but saw that Microcenter had the 65" B9 on sale for like $500 off so it was $700 cheaper than the C's I was finding. I just couldn't justify dropping the extra cash since I was having a hard time finding any differences at all in the picture quality between the two when I was first researching them.

Looks loving amazing. Been messing around with the picture settings since Saturday and I think I finally have all my inputs situated.

Congrats on joining the OLED master race, do yourself a favor and buy planet earth 2 on UHD if nothing else. Coco and Life of Pi are also visually stunning.

Are OLED TVs good for gaming? My 5-ish year old Visio is getting some weird issues...parts of the screen are brighter than others, and some games have a weird, almost shutter or flicker effect.

I also wouldn't mind upgrading to something a bit bigger so I don't have to lean forward so much to game...I mean, I could just ear my glasses, but what am I, some sort of dork?

Yeah they are great for gaming, everything looks absolutely incredible, especially 4k HDR games.

Picked up a new monitor, currently on 24" 1080, prices on 27" 1440p equivalents are finally reasonable so I've upgraded. Once the demand has normalized I'll be powering it with a 3090, but for now just a 1080 TI.

Only lovely HDR400 but still better than nothing, but that also gets me 10 bit color so for $300, a hell of a deal.

I actually wonder if disc golf kind of blew up during quarantine. I know people are buying poo poo like golf clubs, bicycles, that sort of thing all over the place.

It's been growing pretty steadily for a few years, especially with youtube channels like Jomez doing professional quality tournament coverage with pro player commentary. They put together a fantastic product and there's so much content from them alone, let alone all the pros starting their own channels with tutorials and guides, and 'get to know them' kind of content.

high five monstrous air purifier buddy. I'm curious what you think of it. How long to the filters last?

Just ordered today for tomorrow delivery, but it was highly recommended by a friend who usually does great research and only recommends high end products (ie my aeron and LG OLED were both recommendations from him) so I fully expect to love it.

Filters are once every 6 months. There are cheaper options with cheaper filters but I wanted somethin a little more high end.

No. You probably bought a ionizing one. Mine is activated charcoal and fabric hepa filter. That plus a drum fan. It's dead simple. It reduces odor and particulate.

Mine also has no odor, it's been working fantastically well the past few days and really helped with minor pet odor and air quality.

Someone hit and totaled our old car when it was parked on the street overnight so was forced to buy a new one (thank god used car prices are inflated, got a great value from insurance for the old one)
