Who's got a suggestion for memory foam pillows? I've tried a bunch of them from Amazon and they were all varying kinds of bad. I'm sleeping on buckwheat now and its better than polyfill or down, but its not memory foam.

I want a vacuum cleaner that is fully repairable and built with the expectation that it can be disassembled and reassembled. The bottom hose split on my shark vacuum and I thought it'd be easy to replace. Buying special long torx screw bits allowed me to get in there, but it simply refuses to go back together.

I'm guessing a classic Miele is probably the way to go.

I got a free shark on Craigslist. It had a split hose. Most frustrating 3 hours of my recent life to repair.

Someone suggested this Roborock in a different thread. Either homeowners or tools, probably. I want a robovac but don't have one yet, so I took note. Good luck.

I’m looking for a small pair of gloves that I can stuff in my jacket pocket, forget about and then pull out and wear for when I forget to bring proper mitts. Normally this would be a pair of mini gloves but I’m wondering if there’s a better option.

I like knit gloves. I've been wearing these for two seasons. The touchscreen stuff doesn't work anymore, but I've never had a great experience with it.

I've been using the Spyderco sharpener (i think it's a bit cheaper elsewhere) for like 10 years now. It works great, can sharpen anything, and has guides so i don't gently caress the angles up.

Takes about 30 minutes to do all my knives every few months.

Are you sure you're using it correctly? The sharpmaker doesn't have guides, the round brass pieces are to keep your hands safe if the blade slips. The stones slide into the base at an angle and you're supposed to slice the knife down perfectly vertically. The edge angle comes from the angled stones.

The fact that you're supposed to freehand it is why I switched a a fauxpro. And then I donated that to a thrift store and now I just take my knives to a sharpening place once a quarter because they consistently get my knives sharper than I can do on my own.

$1 an inch is a perfectly normal rate.

The jumbo AA batteries are 18650s. They are used in vaporizers and you absolutely can get your own.

Edit: but you should be very loving careful about which (counterfeit) 18650 you buy. They will start fires.

The /vacuumcleaners wiki has more info in it than one might expect.

Yeah, technical clothing is probably going to be the way to go, with the pros being all the things you want and the cons being low durability and high cost. ExOfficio has been mentioned already, and I have some RailRiders pants and long sleeve shirts that I've used extensively in hot weather in tick-infested woods

Anyone have a recommendation for Bluetooth earbuds that don't suck and also don't cost a million bucks?

I got the Haylou GT5 and within three months or so the right bud has completely stopped working.

Railriders EcoMesh are some of the lightest pants around. They're expensive though.

I have a bunch of railriders stuff that I want to buy (their sun shirts/pants are supposed to be top of the line) but never do because I’m too cheap

I typically hike in EcoMesh pants and a journeyman shirt. I bought my first set in 2017. Put a couple thousand miles on them and bought new ones in 2021. But their Mojave sun shirt looks interesting too.

That couldn't be solved with a single remote outlet switch and a power strip?

The recommendation for dishwashers is Bosch. I don't know of any others.

There's a Breville smart oven model with an air fryer mode. I have one without the air fryer and it's still the best (convection) toaster oven I've ever owned. I think it was recommended to me here

This RCA to HDMI converter seems like it will work with the proper 3.5mm to RCA audio cable

I think this is probably what I'm going to have to try, but I wonder if the TV will stay connected to the input without a video signal coming in. For $12 though I'll give it a shot though! Thanks!

Good point. This HDMI audio embedder inserter maybe?

Edit: alternatively look into an "HDMI matrix" device for managing multiple inputs. That's just why I can glean from Google.

If you don't have a platform bed, 1/2" plywood. Or 3/8".
