Brahms mount has sales around Christmas and Mother's Day. I think it's around 20% off.

Heh look at these dumbs, Brahms Mount is the way to go. (well I went with them because they're washable) They do a sale near the holidays though so you might want to wait for that. No wait go Swan's Island instead.Perhaps Faribault?

tangy yet delightful posted:You might also want to look at local carpenters and will probably find that a custom piece from them will be equal in price or not much off a website/store selling real wood furniture. Local also saves on shipping. The places I linked do custom work because it's really the way to go.

I like my woolx hoodie it's sufficiently warm and doesn't make me super staticy in winter (Wool tshirt + synthetics = static) but it's 200 bucks when not on sale. The hood is overly roomy but I like having it in case I need it. https://www.woolx.com/products/heavyweight-hooded-merino-wool-sweatshirt-for-men-x710?variant=20969370629

Humerus posted:What's the recommendation for a garage kept tire inflator/air compressor? All the reviews I find talk about portable ones that plug into the car's 12v outlet but I just want one to keep in my garage and use whenever the low pressure warning goes off in my/my wife's car. If you have Dewalt or Milwaukee power tools I'd go with one of those. It's a lot less of a hassle not having to plug it in when you use it. I wouldn't be surprised to see them on sale for Black Friday. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Compact-Inflator-Tool-Only-2475-20/304768834 https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20-Volt-MAX-Inflator-Tool-Only-DCC020IB/305709688

George H.W. oval office posted:Did you move to somewhere with snow and ice on the reg? Winter tires. You could also get winter all seasons. (like the NOKIAN WR G4) Although I'd say it depends on how often there's actual uncleared snow on the roads. Humerus posted:I moved from Orlando, FL to St. Paul Minnesota (and then after one winter moved back to Orlando fwiw) and what I ended up doing was wearing long underwear basically 100% of the time during the winter with just jeans or slacks on over it. The thing I hadn't counted for was needing serious boots to just walk anywhere outside, like even on sidewalks. I had been wearing my Converse with thick socks and it was fine until I slipped on ice and bruised my rear end. I ended up getting some Under Armor boots from Marshall's or something similar but it wouldn't be unwise to get something nicer. They were pretty much all I wore after I bought them. You'll want shoes with traction. I have pairs of Allbirds and I wonder why on earth they'd make them with such a poor tread. Duck and Cover has a new favorite as of 18:32 on Dec 20, 2019 |

You can also get a silicone guide for your neck. https://www.amazon.com/EDGUP-Neckline-Shaving-Template/dp/B00HFD0RNU. I have this but got it before they added the elastic.

Linen isn't as super durable as these companies want you to believe. I mean by all means buy it but don't go expecting it to last 5+ years. I get like 2ish out of my fitted sheets but maybe that's because I don't wash them as frequently as I should. I normally get Linoto (colors!) but the last time I went with Cultiver when I wanted a flat sheet.

halokiller posted:How is your Linoto holding up? I used to have a linen set I got from The Company Store and my fitted sheet only lasted 2 years and now my pillow cases are falling apart after 4. The problem is I don't remember when I get my sheets because they tend to be gifts which makes it a bother to find out. Today I did find a hole on one of my fitted sheets. Let's see oh this one I ordered for myself on . Sat, Feb 3, 2018, 7:00 PM So yeah roughly 2 years. I mean it'll take a bit for the hole to expand but it's not going to last all that much longer. Could I repair it if I wasn't a lazy? Probably. Will I? No. That's 2 years partly alternating between two sets. I don't always have two sets.

Dicty Bojangles posted:Ok, so what's your preferred online source? I realize this is late however it's a fair question. I don't have one at least not for telescopes. A cursory google gave me https://www.highpointscientific.com/telescopes but I do not know if this is a good site or not. As far as electronics go? Crutchfield (audio/video). Costco (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/costco-stay-at-home-office-workers-1.5875088 icky). gently caress even Best Buy, who I am sure is bad, but never seems to be in the news as being super bad, at least not to the point where I've heard about it.

signalnoise posted:Yeah, I'm talking about a manual burr grinder. Anything you use that isn't entirely metal is going to pick up smells, so if it was me, if I was grinding juniper, I would have that be my juniper grinder and nothing else because cleaning out something like a pepper mill, which you fill up and leave on your kitchen table, is going to smell like pepper and it's going to impart pepper smell and flavor onto anything else that goes into it. You could buy something like a Unicorn Magnum or whatever other fancy pepper grinder for it, but those are like 50 dollars. A manual conical burr coffee grinder can also be left on your kitchen table, and it should easily handle whatever large spice you through at it for half the price. Given that you're used to using a blade grinder, you don't have to spend big coffee grinder bucks on some 70-120 dollar bougie rear end camping grinder, because you're not looking for high quality coffee grind consistency. So my thought is basically, instead of buying an expensive pepper mill to handle a job they aren't generally suited for, I think a cheap manual coffee grinder would do the job for under 20 bucks. But of course, that's just my own thought on it. Puny Unicorn Magnum. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mannkitchen/mannkitchen-pepper-cannon-the-pepper-mill-for-pepper-lovers Bam Pepper Cannon. This is not a suggestion it's merely a post to point out the Pepper Cannon exists.

Captain Invictus posted:a family member is suggesting I use these "mice pouches" to deal with my problem with mice coming inside due to the cooling fall temperatures and also so I don't have to kill them, but this poo poo seems like snake oil to me. and the quick-kill traps I use are basically perfect at their job anyways. anyone here had success with the pouches? I think the answer is a good "eh maybe" for that type of thing . When I had a mouse problem in my previous outdoor car peppermint oil and/or moth balls were recommended. It didn't work. Maybe I didn't use enough/reapply, or maybe they were already too established. I did not try the moth balls. Your post did remind me to go use the spray (same kind of thing bunch of oils) I have since my car has been put outside due to battery catching fire recall.

Planet X posted:This looks intriguing. If there's discussion already in the wet shaving thread, I'll go there. Whats it like to shave with? As someone who can't be bothered to do the whole brush thing (I have in the past I'm lazy though) it's faster and I think gives me a better shave than I'd get from using a feather safety razor. You'll also definitely want the silicone grip thing you can buy for it if you use it in the shower as it's slippery when wet. Duck and Cover has a new favorite as of 18:40 on Jun 15, 2022 |

Captain Invictus posted:I have had this particular Black and Decker rice cooker for what feels like 20 years(edit: about 15 years now that I think about it, since I got it around the time of my first roommate). it still works perfectly, though the inside of the bowl has worn away a bit from countless rubbings/scrapings/scoopings, it still works great and I've used it probably thousands of times at this point. It cooks up to 7 cups of rice at once, and cooks anything else you put in with the rice of course. It is braindead simple and literally has two settings, cook and warm. Aren't those bowls generally teflon? I suggest you get yourself a new bowl.
