obi_ant posted:I'm in need of a computer chair. I've been sitting on a crappy Ikea chair for the past 4 years and I'm sick of it. I'm basically looking for something that will last a long time and be super comfortable. I'm not looking for anything super pricey, but I don't know what is considered a good price for a chair. I sat on this for a while in the store, but I didn't know about the longevity of the chair, so I didn't pick it up. I think $200 is the maximum I'm willing to spend, unless someone can convince me otherwise. I had that for a few years and it was super comfy, I'm 6'3" and it was nice to be able to lean my head back. My cat loved to scratch it up but besides that it held up great.

Looking for recommendations on a Bluetooth earpiece, the kind douchebags keep in their ear all day to look busy. I won't use it for phone calls, I just want to be able to listen to podcasts in one ear while working and for it to be durable enough to jam in my pocket full of other crap. I've only looked at a few at a ghetto cellphone store and they didn't all seem to be able to play audio other than calls. If there's Bluetooth earbuds that would work individually that would be great since I'd have a backup once I destroy the first one.

If you're using mats IKEA has a wide variety of cheap but good looking frames. I've also heard good things about Michaels custom frames especially if you use a coupon, I guess they're supposed to have frequent sales there but I haven't tried it yet myself.

Preferably something a step up from the 30$ pinhole projectors, something more like the Sega Homestar. I don't know anything about these but your post made me end up buying this cheapo one http://s.aliexpress.com/MFvmeInM Kinda want to look into the sega too if it does anything amazing.

We have a tendency to smash wine glasses, I need something that can take some abuse. I'm open to creative ideas, it doesn't have to be especially cheap or have a stem. I might have to get a few pimp chalices if I can't come up with something better.

bongwizzard posted:We mostly use the smallest size mason jars as wine glasses do to similar clumsy/dog issues. But really any tumbler-like glass works fine. Funny you say that, we've been using the baby mason jars too since we already have a lot of them. Maybe I'll stick with that. We'll see.

Tiggum posted:If you don't care about them having stems, just go to your nearest supermarket and buy some cheap glasses of whatever size you prefer. If they break, go get some more. Well yeah I have basic glasses, just checking if there's anything better around. I'm not just drinking out of a bottle since a couple stems broke. Dewgy posted:You can do pretty well with plastic wine glasses these days. Not the worst idea, I hadn't considered plastic really. I'd have sooner thought about getting a glass blower to make some retardedly thick ones with short stems but I'll see what's new in the plastic world in the meantime.

Fall Dog posted:I have no idea if such a service exists, but does anyone know if it's possible to get a book reproduced on canvas? You can try finding a local artist, it doesn’t sound too hard but it likely won’t be cheap depending on how well you want it done. You mean just the book cover? Or a portrait of an ancestor holding the book like they wrote it? That sounds pretty funny. Also AliExpress has plenty of artists who do custom painting, you just have to be very specific and give good references to work from so you leave as little up to them as possible.

Fall Dog posted:Uhh no I mean like the entire book printed on canvas/sail cloth and hand bound or whatever so it looks like the a personal journal that's been written by a great great grandfather from shipwreck scraps. I would take a class in bookbinding and DIY because it’s an insane thing to commission unless you’re ready to burn money. As someone who actually does make things look old like that and has taken bookbinding classes, it’s fun and I recommend it. Maybe just start with one short chapter of the book, doing the whole thing is a little ridiculous tbh.

Anyone have experience with key finding fobs like Tile? I want one for my keys and one for my wallet so I’m thinking about getting the Tile sport/style and a slim. There’s also the Keyringerxl that sounds pretty good for range but maybe not much else.

I’m looking for something to listen to audio while sleeping. I’ve seen headbands with earbuds in them and things with speakers that you slide under your pillow, but haven’t tried any of them yet. I have tried putting an earbud under the pillow which was great but I end up feeling like the princess and the pea- that little earbud was annoying under my thinnish pillow. I’m hoping there’s something less obtrusive.

Kilometers Davis posted:I use AirPods and they’re extremely comfortable as a side sleeper. They come out by the time I wake up but they’re always just under me. This is irrelevant if you don’t use an iOS device of course. I’ve tried earbuds in my ears but then I end up waking up wondering why my face hurts then realizing I’ve been sleeping for hours with an earbud pressed into my cheekbone. Any idea how thick the speakers in the sleepphones are?

I’m looking for a new thin bifold wallet. I’m not so crazy minimal that I want money clipped on the outside or anything, just a simple one that holds a few cards as well. I’d also love to have a color that makes it easy to spot and a material that isn’t so slick that it wants to fall out of my pocket. I used to have a Big Skinny but I don’t like how slippery it was.

I would throw it in the fridge in the afternoon and it'd be super chill when I was going to bed. I now have a latex pillow which I love and wouldn't change for anything though. Cool thanks I didn’t know about those water bladder things! How’s the latex heatwise? Ok or is the comfort the big draw?

A while back itt I got some recommendations for the Roomba i7. The price on Amazon dropped from $800 to $539 and I’m tempted to grab it but is there some reason it’s not a good idea like they won’t keep supporting the app or something? I see there’s a new fancy model that the top of the line now but it’s like $1300 so forget that.

PRADA SLUT posted:That's what I'm wondering.. if someone with a Tile / similar setup is nearby, will it track the location that way? Yeah there’s a network of tile users and if any of them are near it you should get a signal. I use a tile in nyc and it says there’s some crazy number of people around me in their network. Right now I’m upstate and it says there’s 330 tile users around but that’s in a pretty large area so it’s not very reassuring.

I need a file cabinet, something ideally with two file drawers and a small stuff drawer on top. This one looks ok, I like that it has wheels: Lorell LLR17427 SOHO Mobile Cabinet, Black https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B004GZBHZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1TKC6PGX13Z1YEMH8084 This one is the right idea but the reviews make it sound really flimsy: https://www.target.com/p/hirsh-3-drawer-filing-cabinet-steel-off-white/-/A-14796066 I’ve seen some that are made so you can turn the files sideways and fit legal size folders. That’s pretty cool but seems unusual. So, anyone know a cabinet along these lines that they love?
