Mountain House is not bad as far as those things go. I've never had an MRE I liked. I would consider using the freeze dried stuff as backup as much as possible, a month eating it would be pretty demoralizing.

Chas McGill posted:I need recs for a microwave under £100 ($150). I'm toying with the idea of getting one with a grill as well, but I don't know if they're any good. Panasonic, hands down. I'm not sure you can good a good combo toaster oven/microwave for that price. It's been a couple years since I was looking, maybe they are cheaper now.

Chas McGill posted:Need a basic scientific calculator for work. It has to have nice buttons (no squishy rubber stuff). Don't need graphing or anything. HP 35S, with the caveat that I haven't used it. It is supposed to be the successor to the HP32Sii which is really good and it seems to get good reviews. I wanted to recommend the 32Sii (which has amazing buttons), but it looks like it costs $100 used.

Jeherrin posted:This is a bit of an odd question, but I'm curious as to whether it's possible to get a slow cooker that is able to work on both UK and US voltages without having to use an adapter for one of the voltages. For a slow cooker, you will probably need a transformer because it works by putting wall power directly through a heating element. It is the kind of appliance that is usually not made to be compatible with multiple voltages. A crafty manufacturer could make something with a switch to change between different heating elements for not too much money, but I couldn't find any. For devices with a switching AC-DC power supply (things like computers or USB chargers), it is easier (though still a bit more expensive) to make the appliance work over a wide input voltage range, but slow cookers aren't made that way because it is less efficient and more expensive. You could make that system yourself by getting a slow cooker designed to run off DC, something like this model for RVs and pairing it with a 10A 12V power supply that will accept 100-240V and has a 'cigarette lighter' connector. But now you are using an adapter for both voltages...

You could get an HDMI streaming device and some sort of HDMI->component converter. Looks like they are $20-30 on amazon.

I assumed most with decent ratings would support it, but if you add 'HDCP' to the amazon search some come up that explicitly say they support HDCP.

PleasusChrist posted:I need a new computer chair. Mine's old and hurts my back. I work from home and also game, so I spend a good bit of time in it. I got a couple 'Eurotech' brand chairs from a local office furniture place. They have been very durable and are quite comfortable. Better than any chair I've been provided at other companies. I think they were about $350 each. I haven't used an Aeron to compare to, but this chair is great and I would be happy to have one at home, too.

Get one that is 1500W or close to it, or it will seem low powered. Panasonics can actually adjust power output for lower power levels, instead of turning on and off repeatedly.

Unifi stuff is really great. They do make some extenders, but an extender of any brand will really hurt your network throughput. If you get multiple Unified APs, they will act as one network seamlessly. Power over Ethernet, so you only have to run one cable. It's worth running the cable if you care about things like streaming to Chromecast, Steam in home streaming, or anything that really taxes the network.

ZoeDomingo posted:I'm looking for a clear or unobtrusive belt to wear with my jeans. I am between jeans sizes, which means I either buy the ones that are too loose, or I can't button them. I don't really like belts because the buckles are so obvious under my shirts (I tend to wear shirts that aren't supposed to be tucked in). I have this thing called the "Hip Hugger" that sort of works, but it's flimsy and the clips seem to tear at my belt loops. Seems strange for the pants size to jump so much, usually I can still button even a couple sizes too small. Are you getting inch sizes or SML? Maybe switch to a different brand.
