This thread just too new or not active at all? Last one was poppin' I'll start off with a recommendation for something everyone should own Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac 500-Watt 0.75-HP Electric Duster 120 volt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J4ZOAW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_dGJFub1Z5GNAK And I'll ask. Any recommendations for an air filter for a large room/studio? No pets etc just looking for dust filtration

C-Euro posted:I'm going overseas in a week and change to spend Christmas with my fiancee's family in Thailand. Any recommendations on a good wall outlet adapter & voltage converter? I was putzing around Target earlier looking at some and they all warn you "do not use this device with anything containing circuitry or LED/LCD screens", which on its face seems like really bad design since I have to imagine a lot of people are using these to charge stuff like smartphones, tablets/laptops, or handheld game consoles (unless I'm reading that wrong?). This probably won't be the last time I'll be over there either, so something that's built to last and/or easy to transport would be nice. Just a cheap generic one works fine - http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Univ...gn+wall+adapter If you're using basic electronics you don't need an actual "converter" just an adapter. Almost all power anything will convert the electricity itself. Laptop plugs, USB phone chargers, etc. It should say "Input: AC100v-240v" Seriously. I can't think of anything that doesn't have "Input: AC 100v-140v" on it. Maybe an actual game console power adapter or something really old?

I find it hard to believe that a new device like the 3DS won't do it. Check google? Does it use a generic micro Usb cable so you can just use any charger?

The Norelco ones are pretty much the best you can get. Just see how fancy you want to get and what options you want I have this one which is nice because you can use it in the shower and wet/dry Philips Norelco PT730/46 Shaver 3500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JITDVCI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_AbkIub1RS29V2 But if you don't mind stubble or a well kept beard and just want to maintain Philips Norelco BG2040/34 Bodygroom 7100 (Packaging May Vary) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0037HP9OA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_edkIub0C005MD

M42 posted:Need a rec for a type of mattress. My current one is an irredeemable piece of poo poo. It's a spring with a nonremovable pillowtop/memory foam thing. I'm light as a feather, but regardless it's collapsed around the area where my body rests, so it's like I'm sleeping in a giant bowl. I get back pain like half the nights of the week. Are spring+pillowtop mattresses prone to this? Would I be able to avoid it if I got, say, a latex one? There was this goon referral chain for some supposedly good mattresses. I/m still thinking about it. Thread is kind of dead though http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3663235

There's sleep tracker devices that will wake you up when you're most "awake." Most are like watches. You set a time period, like 30 minutes, and it'll wake you up at your lightest REM phase or w/e There's also an app that does it called sleep cycle which surprisingly works I've also seen those pillows that slowly light up

I'm a 4 alarm kind of guy and I turn my alarm off in my sleep. and that one looks pretty good. Good reviews. Vibrating function seems like a nice feature. Quick question. If you use the vibrating thing and sound can you have them at different intervals? Like have the sound as a backup if the vibrating doesn't wake you? Thanks for the post! The sleep tracking poo poo doesn't really work well if you have someone else in the bed :/ maybe the watch ones do -edit there's also this one which is pretty much the same but has flashing lights Sonic Boom SBB500ss Sonic Bomb Loud Plus Vibrating Alarm Clock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OOWZUK/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_pcQJub1WX1BJD Nostalgia4Dogges has a new favorite as of 09:51 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Just got these and gotta share. (Battery powered candles) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1BSAOA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They rule and the remote is rad. Shutoff timer and can set to them to flicker. Despite the description they use 3 AAAs. So stock up on some rechargeables. Some reviews say AAs but who knows.

Smart wool socks rule and are worth the price. They have dedicated hiking socks but I used the "SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Crew Sock" perfect thickness imo. I never got any blisters and I put a lot of wear and tear into them. (Infantry) they started to thin out in areas but were still perfectly functional. Considering all the mileage I put on them though.. If you make big purchases you might get some good deals on socksaddict.com Foxriver socks are also really popular but a bit too thick for my tastes Nostalgia4Dogges has a new favorite as of 08:57 on Dec 25, 2014 |

http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Ultima-...asin=B00ESQ5DD6 This is like the go to poorman vita-mix. I got one on meh.come for $100 refurbished. They've been popping up on slickdeals.net a lot as well on various sites for decent deals. So pretty much keep replacing lovely blenders, get a vitamix (or blendtec I guess), or get the one above. Some ok refurbished deals on vita-mixs on their site sometimes but still expensive as gently caress The little smoothie cups are amazing as well for quick smoothies etc. Has a pulse setting that works good for crushing ice.

Yo, hit me with your favorite kitchen items goons. Specifically things that make life easier I have some decent ceramic knives, nice set of silverware, cutting boards, couple lovely pots and pans, nice bowls, and a nice blender plus some barebones poo poo like plates and a couple pots. Trying to cook more and eat healthy etc. Love making salads. Should probably invest in a good skillet.

I should have prefaced by saying I'm looking for easy to make, cheap, edible stuff. Of course I enjoy taste but I'm lazy/impatient and not trying to be the next best chef here. Also need lunches to go often.1redflag posted:If you don't have a few nice (I.e. $5) wooden spoons and a small and large cast iron pan , get those. I use them every single day. Also, a steamer insert for a 2qt pot is a good way to eat more green vegetables. I'd also recommend a cheap roasting pan and tray; you can cook a whole chicken for real cheap and it will last you a whole week (and be healthy). Cast iron pan is just a skillet eh? Anyone link me some good ones on amazon? Lots of options. Can someone give me a quick run down on the seasoning poo poo and maintaining it easily. I can also get a big skillet instead of a roasting pan, no? Do most people get a skillet set or just one good one and use it for everything? I didn't think of wooden spoons. My mom has had the same ones for at least 20 years. Thanks of the recommendations! Etrips posted:Sous vide machine. Now that's fancy PotatoManJack posted:Do you like to make stews and curries but don't want to wait hours and hours (I actually didn't intend for this to sound like an infomercial when I started writing it)? Yeah these are always recommended and seem like they're a must. Not too big on soups right now but the idea of throwing a bunch of chopped up poo poo and other random stuff into a pot and then forgetting it sounds appealing. Probably gonna get one of these, heh http://www.amazon.com/Freshware-KT-...asin=B00FWLJOSG Nostalgia4Dogges has a new favorite as of 01:30 on Jan 23, 2015 |

1redflag posted:I'd recommend you get an 8" Lodge cast iron and a 12" Lodge cast iron. They'll be about $15 and $25, respectively on Amazon. Seasoning is pretty easy; heat some bacon or other oily meat (or even just oil) in the pan a few times, and simply wipe clean with a paper towel once it cools down a bit, use a little bit of oil for everytime you cook until you can tell you won't need it anymore, and never wash the pan (just wipe clean when done cooking) and NEVER USE SOAP. Just what I was looking for, thanks. I got some sweet off-brand (better?) ove gloves  trivet looks handy though I'll probably get at least one. I also forgot to mention I have a gas stove which is probably better for a skillet I assumeSo never wash the pan eh? Anytime I cook something greasy like bacon just pour the grease into a trap you just wipe clean? That's it? And I can cook literally anything on it eh? Eggs in particular. Sorry for the dumb questions I'm terrible and new to this poo poo I use coconut cooking oil that'll do eh? Nostalgia4Dogges has a new favorite as of 05:46 on Jan 23, 2015 |

The PS vita is really awesome and intuitive. It's a lot better than the 3DS in a lot of ways but of course doesn't have all the good games. The vita is mostly animes and ports. But the few unique games it has are amazing. It has a lot of "real" games that feel like you're playing a console. Plus if you have a PS4 its a no-brainer. Vita has much better graphics as well. The memory cards are quite expensive but you can find decent deal bundles or used off craigslist. I'd look into what games each has to offer and go from there. I feel like vita is something where you're either going to play it 2 hours everyday or its going to just collect dust and lose its novelty really fast. DS is much better all around and a safer bet. All that being said I love my vita. Vita has killzone which is an amazingly done FPS for a handheld. DS has smash brothers for fighting. Vita has a port of most popular fighting games and play station battle Allstars. Aside from smash bros vita wins in the fighting games Nostalgia4Dogges has a new favorite as of 06:47 on Feb 14, 2015 |

I haven't had a chance to mess around with the web browser much. But the smart features are actually usable unlike most smart TVs from what I've seen. Still a bit sluggish as expected. But you can even get plex and some other obscure apps. I've only had it for a bit so I can't give you a huge review but paired with a soundbar it's definitely a nice setup. The reviews are convincing enough. Just keep watching slickdeals.net these are going pretty cheap as they rid 2014 stock From what I read in the reviews the browser is decent
