Looks weird as gently caress but the contoured features are quite useful

Wired is fine. And it's a soft budget ceiling of $100 -$150.

Are all the consoles and PC in the same place? It's a bit dated these days but I used the turtle beach PX5s. I'm sure there's a lot of new versions

Anyways I just had a USB > optical audio adapter (computer at the time didn't have digital audio out) and digital/optical audio out switcher. Xbox 360 had a wireless bt adapter and my laptop used a BT mic. It does have a cable for plugging into the ps4 mic for chat. Or lots of cables you can get online

Also lots of rechargeable AAs


So pretty much anything with a digital audio out and plug in for mic. Or maybe there's something newer more universal


But the switcher is money

I prefer them over the smart wool official hiking socks because they aren't so bulky. I used the same pair for at least 100 miles of heavy hiking and it barely just started to wear through.



Fox river are also universally love. Especially if you want to play military special forces whatever. I own one pair (not sure how many types they have) but too bulky for me. But that's just what I prefer. Great for cold though

I loving love mine. It has a built in clip so you can easily put it on your waistband or whatever and you won't notice it

Caveat is it doesn't have Bluetooth. I'm not sure if the newer ones do. Shuffle or nano etc. that would be ideal for Bluetooth headphones.

That being said I just use my bluetooth JF3 jay birds and stream spotify or whatever and just set my phone off to the side of whatever area or machine I'm at

I think only the Roku 3 had it? Maybe the revised roku 2 if they did that. But yeah I remember the USB port was a bit hidden on the side. I'm not 100% sure on the files but it handled most things I threw at it. I'm not going to say it's the best method for just streaming media so check out options but it's great for all around

I'm looking for some nice cool LED bulbs for my house? (Cool as in color temperature.)

My GF and I both hate yellow/warm bulbs, and want ones that are a little more blue/cool. It seems most bulbs, in general, are on the yellow/warm side.

I know there's all these theories and studies about "cool light at work/during the day, warm light at home/in the evening" but we think yellow bulbs make everything look ugly. And I don't mean as blue/cool as, say, a hospital, but just something that's closer to a nice white.

Edit: So I guess something in the 5K-6k range?



Just a quick suggestion. I've been meaning to make a post here and suggest it but check out limitless led. Ships from NZ which sucks so make sure you place a large order. Anyways full color spectrum lights with warm or cold and you can get a normal non-colored that'll do hot or cold

Anyways mostly its just rad because I feel like a pimp in my bachelor pad changing lights all over the place with the remote, pebble, my phone, or pc


Anyone wants to know more let me know.

This was a bit ago and I think I remember him saying when I asked via email he was implementing the much slower cheaper shipping option on his site for USPS. I haven't checked the site but he usually has some specials going. I got buy 10 bulbs get 1 free. It's a loving sweet set up. It has some features the phillips lights have and they have some these don't. Just make sure you find out how many you need before hand, the exact colors you want (soft light in certain areas, etc) and what type of bulb in case you have a weird sized lamp or something.

Also the remotes can only have up to 4 presets each. And that can be a group of bulbs or just 1. I only got 2 remotes and it worked well enough but I might have gotten another if I ordered again for more group options


Here's my order

I do not. Would it say on the bulb? I remember the website has some fancy pics/diagrams with color temp ranges etc.

I didn't bother with non-colored ones because they require a separate remote I think and aren't interchangeable with remote controls (well I'm sure it's fine via the phone app or PC)so I just got all color to be safe and depending on where I put them I got about half cold


There is a 3rd party beta computer app that is super handy. Also has a pebble smart watch app

I can't recommend them enough but just buy them knowing they aren't Phillips LED wifi bulbs. They actually have some features they don't. But the big one they lack Is you can't really remotely control them unless you're on your wifi. You can set timers with the PC app and poo poo and I guess if you really wanted to could Remote Desktop or something.

I know he said there was some port forwarding thing in beta but idk

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.

Honestly, I don't even know if this is possible, let alone with a slow cooker.

I'm no electrician but like 95% of electronics in the year of our lord 2015 have built in converters. If you read that small unreadable stamped in print it should say 120/240 or whatever the two are. Down to the little Apple charging brick. A lot of people travel and think they need a converter when merely all you need is adapter regardless of what physical prongs it has

Just finished my first week in my Leesa mattress, and I like it very much. I'm no expert in this field, so I can't give a comparison to other mattresses or a bang-for-buck evaluation.

Also FWIW apparently Leesa uses a new latex foam whatever that is cooler than the Casper. I read this a while ago so I don't know if Casper has since switched over but something to consider.

My Casper does get quite warm but I have it directly on carpet like a filthy bachelorAnd it's not exactly a hot area so I don't mind. Got a water proof cooling sheet which helps a bit. Going to get a frame with slats, should help a bit
