If you have Spotify on your phone then you already have one. There are several white noise, rainfall, etc. albums available. Other streaming music services probably have similar.

I never thought about using Spotify, but there are also plenty of apps.

I own one of these. You can adjust the pitch and noise level. Compact and worked for me on trips.

I'll second that. Sounds better than the electronic one I've got or the apps I've tried.

There are also weather sound apps like Storm Sim which I use on occasion to chill me out. It has a million and one variables and is a really great little app. I think someone on SA made it??

I used one of these apps to mix together my own whitenoise recipe, then ran it through my Macbook to snag a section of it. Converted it to an MP3 and play it on a loop with an old iPod plugged into my clock radio.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but can someone recommend a white noise machine? I've gotten so used to falling asleep to the sound of my (window) AC unit that after I took it out after the summer I can't sleep. I tried a fan, but I think a white noise machine would be perfect.

Dude, I'm straight.

You need a new tailor. He/she is giving you a female cut to the suit. He is trying to accentuate your shoulders and hips....

Then the bow legged look.....

This camera that came with a ton of mounting hardware for ~$44 with a coupon code I already lost



And this because whatever, I've bought them every other year.



Both showed up mid-day Friday. Forgot to order a microSD card for the camera, can't be bothered to fish one out of one of my other devices that use microSD, so I'll just wait for Monday when my new one comes....



For $11.99, nice.

If you told me 20 years ago I'd be buying something smaller than a fingernail that held this much data for $12 this short into the future I'd have told you to go pound sand up your crazy rear end in a top hat.

I got tricked into watching a video of some woman reviewing Syndicate who reviewed "the whole game" and ... literally talked about no parts past the title card, completely misrepresented what happened in the game to that point ("Dur that dumb guy derailed a train unlike his super smart and cunning strong womyn sister who thinks things through and nothing bad happens on her missions because she's so smart and kind and thoughtful and generous and saves puppies and kittens!" I'll be nice and not spoil the events but hahahahaha did you even loving play this game?)

No matter how good he is, his pants are too tight, too short. That's suit 101 isn't it?

The pants are definitely too short, but I disagree about them being too tight; I think they may seem that way in comparison to the baggy, too-long pants that are pretty common with suits that haven't been tailored. (edit: looking at it again, they might be too tight on the knees or calves if that wrinkling is from them riding up while walking. I'd take a little tight over baggy, but I wouldn't accept either in a bespoke suit.)

The jacket seems way off to me. The darting looks odd, the V is a bit high, and the lapels are way too wide if that shot's at all indicative of their final width.
