The "I just bought..." thread.

I have only two wall I can use because of all the windows on one side and two large entrances to the Livingroom. Plenty of room on the other wall, but then our furniture layout would be stupid <shrug>

Yeah, I had to put mine in the corner with a swing-arm corner mount because my living room is laid out weird. Got a 65" 4K Roku TV for like $389 on Black Friday awhile back. SUPER happy with it, perfect fit for my space, great OS, right price! But my heart wants the new 97" OLED...

I think I see a dead pixel...

Damn you, not again!

That's cool, the lights change based on what's on the screen? I always thought that would make a cool arduino project but guess they are actually making TVs that do that now.

Going to want to check if you can revive those two dead pixels though.

Yeah, there are so many settings. But the main draw is it coordinates the colors on the screen, with the lights on the back. Using a camera to do this. For years we've just used white, but wanted to try something different.

If I get tired of the light show, they do any standard color I want, none flashing. Has settings for fireplace, snow fall etc too.

+1 for @Ackmed single handedly supporting the economy

Hah, I'm trying!

Our current home supports an ancient 50" Panny Plasma from when they were the shizzle in the way back day.
The room has too many doors and paths for a bigger unit. I look forward to getting something new at the new home build. I have a decent corner with 8' of wall in either direction, so we can go to town on that

 

[gorobei]

got some kitchen stuff: digital scale and thermometer

been experimenting with higher hydration pizza doughs and decided to stop guestimating my total flour. tried a poolish that went badly so i got a scale what went down to 1gram. also doubles as a postal scale with a max limit of 33lbs. has a usb rechargable lithium battery and backup aaa.

got a thermometer to experiment with pate au choux.

Installed roof lights on my wife's Defender the other day. Uses a Bluetooth controller for on/off. Extremely bright, wife loves it.

Where is the twin Gatling gun?

And what about oncoming traffic?

 

[Ajay]

And what about oncoming traffic?

Remind me of the State Police top mount lights. At night one goes practically blind trying to navigate around them when there’s an accident. No wonder people crash into SP cars on the side of the road.

Westcott FJ400/200 Kit



Edit: Jesus B&H is fast. I placed an order at 9am and got a shipping notice within 2 hours.

Yes I could have gotten the flash kit from them too but I visited a different store IRL and wanted to support the sales staff there. They were very helpful.

I just ordered one of those "Galaxy flyball" things. Thought I'd play with my cat.

I foresee a great deal of feline violence in your future.

Oh man that looks like fun. I might have to get one for my cats too. Is there enough clearance between the cage and blades though so their claws or toes don't get hit by the fan?

Not sure if that's cat proof. How about this? https://naturalpetfoods.ca/products/go-cat-go-fly-ball

But that doesn't fly.

Those suck. They tried to get me on one to try to stop my jaw clenching issue, I just couldn't stand it and gave up after a few months. I don't want anything in or on my face when I'm trying to sleep.

 

[MrSquished]

I have heard of multiple success stories with a cpap mask and multiple failures, including mine. Depends how you sleep, how you can get used to sleeping, and how well the cpap person and you go over options to find your best option, with the mask.

Bummer. I didn't think you were particularly fat. I guess that just raises the odds of needing one.

My FWP might be TWP. I seem to have gotten a fungal infection(I think) on my ass. I spent a couple hours sitting on damp ground a couple days ago, and it appeared almost immediately. Today I had to do more of the same, with extra sliding around, so now instead of red and purple, it's also peeling. I tried carbolic soap and tea tree oil, but that hasn't really helped. I'll stop after work tomorrow, and see what kind of anti fungal stuff is at the pharmacy.

edit:
Oh, I just realized I merged threads. Oh well. It's all nonsense anyway. One place is as good as another :^D

Sunbathing may help, if you can manage that.

Speaking of photography shops, somehow, I live adjacent to a Hunt's Photo & Video ("America's Oldest Camera Store") and have yet to spend a dime. Probably a good thing for my wallet.

Lemme hazard a guess. You never enter the store

Not yet, but it has crossed my mind lately just to peruse. I don't really need any new camera equipment though.
