I already have a 3L water bladder that I need a camelbak-esque pack for. Do they sell just packs anywhere or am I doomed to get a camelbak with a bladder already inside? This is used for mountain biking so something that would go well with that.

Turns out a daypack was what I'm looking for.

I think I found something perfect and cheap

Need a recommendation on some sort of lamp / bulb something to use at my computer desk to simulate daylight. I work third shift and normally try to stay up on my off days during my third shift hours to keep a consistent sleeping pattern. However, the problem I am having is that if I have an exhausting day at work and end up sleeping in an extra hour or two, by the time I wake up the sun has already set and my body goes to crap and wants to just go back to sleep.

tl;dr - need something to simulate day light for my computer desk.

Also would love a computer desk recommendation.

I think you're looking for full spectrum lighting or something along those lines.

My go to computer desk is just an IKEA Galant desk top and it works great.

I need a new wallet. Preferably leather but I don't really care about the color. Just want something tough that'll last a long time. I've had a khol's brand wallet for like 10 years and it's now actively failing at being a wallet.

I enjoy my Bellroy wallet

I am looking for a specific high end office chair. I remember seeing it on the website where it's design was around the different seating positions we generally do in a chair. Sitting up, sliding down and lounging, legs in the chair, etc. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Lots of stuff. Herman Miller Embody or Aeron, Steelcase Leap or Gesture.

Thanks. It was the Gesture I was thinking of. I may have to settle for a used Leap or Aeron because I can't seem to find a used Gesture and I sure as hell am not going to pay 1,000 for a chair.

Learning guitar is one of the best ways to landing tail in college. Plant a seed that will sprout in 8 years.

Which one? Have been doing a lot of overnight stays in hotels with work recently and pretty much every hotel's mattress is better than mine at home.

It's whatever was the most expensive one they had. Sultan erfjord I think is the model name right now.

It's held up pretty well for the past two years and havent had any sinkage. Should probably still flip it though

I just bought some tencel sheets based off a recommendation from a friend. They come in today so I'll let you know. I'm a hot sleeper on a latex foam mattress so hopefully it helps

Recommend to me a vacuum cleaner! We've had a Dyson DC07 for a good while now, and though we've been happy with the results, it's also extremely heavy and hard to maneuver. My wife is interested in a self-propelled one, but failing that one that is not so heavy might suffice. A bagless would be better, but it's not a requirement. Any suggestions?

Shark Navigator (NV22S)

which is a pretty good inexpensive upright. They have a lift away version that's good too

I just got this and love it. The amount of hair it picks up every week that seems to shed off my girlfriends head is ridiculous

So many electric toothbrushes out there... what's the most economical option without sacrificing essential functionality?

Oral-B Pro 1000. $50 and does what you need it to do. It goes for 2 minutes and vibrates every 30 seconds to signal you to change mouth quadrants. You really don't need anything else.
