You can barely feel the vibrate function when it's concealed. Bluetooth reception is okay but using the small buttons while it's concealed is nearly impossible. I just don't have that kind of muscle control.

I've been extremely satisfied with this phone's call quality. Unfortunately it seems extremely easy to accidentally butt dial your contacts in circumstances where the phone might get randomly poked a few times in a row. My mom was terribly confused and I had a lot of explaining to do.

The old LEDs I had were problematic. They were too expensive, they flickered like a very fast strobe light, and they got too hot and burned out after less than a year. The flickering was a result of the base being too small to fit a capacitor.

I just found a new bulb that appears to fix all of those problems. These new bulbs ahve the same filament technology, except they have a large metal heat sink above the base. The heat sink disperses the heat, so they should last longer, and the large heat sink is big enough to contain a capacitor that will even out the current and stop the flickering. The price is also much more reasonable at $3.80 per bulb.

OK. Fuck this filament LED technology in a candelabra bulb bullshit.

In the 6 months since I bought the latest round of LED bulbs that I thought would be good, 3 of the 6 have failed. The candelabra bulb is just too small to dissipate the heat.

So I have moved on to a third style of bulb. This is similar to the Cree that tw recommended. The new kind I am trying have been reviewed by thousands of Amazon customers and most give it great reviews. The few who complain all have the same story. Some bulbs failed after a short while, but the manufacturer was happy to replace them.

So that's who I am going with. They don't look like traditional bulbs, but with a shade over them you can't tell. The color is good. And return instructions are right in the box of bulbs for if/when they fail.

I've probably spent $100 over the last few years trying to save a few cents of electricity. I feel like a moron. But I am honest with you about it so you don't follow in my path. At least not until I succeed.

Out of Stock, and will only work for 6 months. :(

It's important to note that the "smart" functions will only last for about six months -- at that point, the 3G will expire, and it will work only as a regular decanter.
By "and it will work only as a regular decanter", I wonder if the voice-activated pouring will no longer work after the 3G expires? Why would you need 3G for the voice-activated pouring? I understand the 'smart' functions (answering questions) not working after 3G dies.

I saw this commercial the other day on over the air TV. For real. Sure, it was one of those secondary channels. Like 7-4 or something like that, and it was showing an old Henry Fonda western.

Absorene dry cleaning soot sponges.
They are pretty damn amazing. You will still have to paint over the surface, but you will get enough soot off to allow the primer to stick.

Attachment 63636

Gravdigr 04-23-2018 04:21 PM

Is soot tougher than I thought it was?

Reminds me of something late great Grandmadigr used to say:

Mary had a little lamb
It had a sooty foot
And into Mary's bread and jam
It's sooty foot he put

DanaC 04-23-2018 04:32 PM

It's darn near impossible to clean off soot.

There are two main things I remember about "Twilight" - a hundred-year-old guy stalking a high school girl, and lots of hair.

Between those, I'd say the hair thing is much more appropriate as a commercial tie-in.

HoverGlide – The World’s First Floating Backpack



:devil:

glatt 01-28-2019 09:49 AM

Color me skeptical.

How much weight does it add to a standard pack? How much further away from your body is the weight of the pack now going to be, throwing you off balance? How often do you run and do jumping jacks with a pack on? What happens when you lean forward to crawl under a downed tree?

I'll wait until some actual backpackers buy the thing, hike a few days with it, and report back.

Happy Monkey 01-28-2019 10:35 AM

I can see it reducing sudden impacts, like when walking on a rough trail, but they would, as I understand it, become oscillations, which might be annoying.

But perhaps if you train yourself to anticipate and counter them it would be less fatiguing than the jolts.

Gravdigr 01-29-2019 10:05 AM

Ya learned to use the old ones dintchya?:eyebrow:

Happy Monkey 01-29-2019 10:33 AM

Eagle Scout here. But that was back in the mid 90's when the external frame packs were just starting to go out of style, so I don't know how much the non-Hoverglide technology has improved in the last 25 years or so.

Happy Monkey 02-01-2019 02:07 PM

As someone who handcrafts things, I gotta stick up for them. Either they have a remarkable on-the-fly automation system, the development costs of which they need to pay off, or they're putting a fair bit of work into each item sold.

Or both.

Gravdigr 02-01-2019 02:12 PM

Oh, they're cool.

Your isododecahedronal manufacturements are cooler. But I ain't paying $200 for one of those either.:p:
