They sold these in the UK at the beginning of the summer an honestly I love them, I bought 15 of them to hand out to family an friends an kept a few spare, and they perform the same as the official Stanly cups but at a fraction of the price, I spoke to my friends wife who works in the supply chain for Lidl and they are made in the same factory using the same process just the finish an some of the plastics differ for legal reasons, only thing I will say is replace the straw you can buy stainless steel ones on amazon for a few quid.

Maybe the ones in the US are different. They don't feel quite as nice as the Stanleys, and the lids are definitely different, but they're still really nice cups. They're also constantly bringing out new designs to keep up with the seasons, ie during summer it was 'sporty' faux college letters, and currently they have a bunch of autumn patterns.
 
Recently cleaned out my whole cassette collection because they're old and sound like dogshit, which is an absolute tragedy because most of my Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden collection was on tape. I did keep those tapes as treasures and made note of anything I wanted to replace.
Started the rebuying process with this Iron Maiden boxed set. My only complaint is that they used the "upgraded" art for their first album instead of the original, but that's ok since the original art is used for the CD spine image.

Reprints of Andrew Loomis' books. I know they're everywhere in digital format but I just keep preferring physical stuff. They're a lot bigger than I thought.

To my eternal dissapointment it doesn't smell the slightest like ice cream, just normal body wash.

You should write both companies a sternly-worded letter, on actual paper. This is betrayal of the highest order.

Isn't Axe the brand that advertises how their products are supposed to attract women? This is like a hunter buying a bottle of purported doe estrus urine and just getting Jean Naté. Sure, it smells nice, but you paid through the nose explicitly so you could leverage deep-rooted biological instincts against your prey.

I would lie if i say i thought about that but you are right. False advertisement, i swear. Only time i ever wrote a letter to a company (to Lidl, over their de-veined scampi not being de-veined at all) all i got was a 5€ gift card.

If it smelled like actual ice cream i probably would've only attracted fat girls so i don't know if i really lost here :story:
 
A standing hose reel and a whole shitload of brass garden hose quick connectors so I can swap between my lawn sprinklers, a regular hose gun and my pressure washer (mostly used for washing the truck, but also useful for cleaning the siding) easily. Maybe not super autistic, but I got really tired of threading shit on and off the end of the hose pretty quickly.

Axe has a collab with my currently favorite ice cream for some reason, grabbed it off the shelf in a heart beat. To my eternal dissapointment it doesn't smell the slightest like ice cream, just normal body wash.

This smells like ice cream, if you still want to head down that path.

What I'm guessing is that you want a solid vanilla scent. One of the better values out there is MB Club Black.

Or, if you want to be a bit more Lucullan, try this one.

Thank you for the effort but nah, i really only grabbed the bottle because the collab between a body wash label and an ice cream brand struck me as wtf kind of funny. I am not a huge fan of vanilla notes or sweet notes in general, not even sure if i had used it if it really had smelled like ice cream. Maybe 10 years ago, for a laugh. Normally i use some Dove Sensitive for Men because i am obviously a sensitive motherfucker :smug:

This fucking thing!

An official Raspberry Pi monitor. It’s my third portable display. My oldest one has too high of a resolution for comfortably viewing with no scaling. It’s 14” and 1440p, way too much pixel density. If it were on Windows, or *especially* a Mac, there’d be no problem. But this is Linux, of course, and like Linux is prone to being, scaling is an absolute clusterfuck.

My second display is a 1080p 15.6” Lenovo USB-C display. This is an absolutely awesome little display with a very nice stand (no stupid leather case that will fall over the second a butterfly flaps its wings three states away. I also love how it is DisplayPort over USB-C, so I only need one cable for power and video. There are two USB-C ports, but you can choose which side you want, and you can attach your laptop’s power cable to the display, so it’ll charge your laptop in the single cable too. Brilliant!

The colour accuracy, which is important for me as I’m a photographer, does exclude it from use in that role, but this is also what my MacBook and its gorgeous display is for. The only other problem? No HDMI port. It’s USB-C only. A problem for a Raspberry Pi which doesn’t have the required connector or hardware.

So, enter player three, the Pi monitor. It has a full size HDMI port (unlike my 1440p display), which is lovely for a few reasons, namely fragility and cable and/or adapter selection. It, unlike my other display, will quite happily run off a USB-A port. In fact, it’ll run off the Pi’s USB ports, no extra power needed! However, doing this limits you to 60% brightness and 50% speaker volume. However 60% brightness is honestly plenty, and the speakers suck anyway.

Price? Not too cheap, but it’s also not unreasonable. The folding stand is rather nice, too. As for my 1440p display, well, it’s kinda surplus to my requirements now, but I will be keeping it as an emergency backup as I currently don’t have a desktop computer or associated monitor where I live. I’ve got the computer, just isn’t set up. I can fit one big display on my little study nook desk thing, but this is a later problem. I would always need something portable anyway.

Pardon the autistic waffling, but I’m quite happy with my purchase!

I may have gotten a rat squishmallow from the charity shop.... I know... but it was very cute and pristine! Im excusing it as a couch cushion but it definitely has the same black eyes as those Vinyl figurine things do, the poppers? I love some of the things you guys purchase in here, it speaks to all of our special interests lol
