colas posted:Yeah, I might do that too. I got some disposal cleaner packets that do this cool blue foamy thing that smells great but I don't think it did much. I've never had one smell at all. I guess the previous owners never really gave a gently caress. It's not god-awful or anything, just a little bit of odor. Seriously, just throw in a few ice cubes at a time and then cut up a whole lemon and feed that in after. It's all you need unless you have a plugged drain.

My first outage with a safety razor (which I will also 100% recommend) I learned that the hair on my adam's apple just does whatever the gently caress it wants. That was an interesting day at work.

I only shave my neck and line the top of my beard. Last October I started wet shaving and I'm not even half-way through the cheap pack of razors I bought. If I spent $100, I would have enough razors for the rest of my life.

There are a ton of DIY dry ice boxes you can make for dirt cheap. They do work very well for small spaces but can be a hassle to set up.

How dress are we talking? Gold Toe makes some okay ones for cheap but honestly the best socks I own are the dumb novelty ones from The Sock Guy and similar companies. Plus you get to flash some fun colors and designs every now and then.

life is a joke posted:Anyone try them "me undies" that are always advertised on podcasts? I'm usually fine with the $15 three-pack at H&M but I could stand to upgrade items that I have on me almost all day every day. They are stupidly soft and don't ride up at all. My biggest complaint would be that, as a dude, the boxer briefs want to separate my junk from my legs so badly that they end up pushing the mess forward and gives me a prominent buldge. "But Inzombiac, that exactly what I want because I'm always trying to attract a mate!" Good for you. I'm happily involved and would rather not have people staring at my exceptionally average twig and berries that have been tarted up like French dancer just before the war. Under Armor makes something very similar and I prefer them a tiny bit more.

theHUNGERian posted:Thanks! Will the classic and the vintage comforters keep me equally warm? It's a good idea to wash the comforter before first use, right? Any reason I shouldn't buy a cheap duvet cover from Bed Bath and Beyond for the Pendleton comforter? I've never washed mine. It's wool from the moon and is amazing. Some of them can be a bit scratchy so a cover or sheet is recommended for delicate skin.

Furcifer posted:Recommendation for a pair of in-ear headphones with a microphone? I've been using the one that came with my Sony Z3 for a while and I tore one of the earpieces apart. Need a replacement. Not looking for something extreme, but good value would be appreciated. I only listen to podcasts and I find the Skullcandy Ink'd ones to be fine. They're only around $10 so it's okay to lose or break them. I've had a couple pairs and only one minor issue. If you want something great for music, avoid them.

Travic posted:So I've started cooking a fair amount of rice for myself and I've grown out of doing it by hand. I'd like to get a rice cooker and lots of people including the OP are recommending the Zojirushi. I don't think i'm ready to spend that much on a rice cooker just yet. Any other good recommendations? I had one of those and they are great but you could spend less on and Instant Pot pressure cooker. Same results AND you can cook a million things in it.
