Refrigerant sniffer???

Amazon has good for poo poo I hardly ever use but am hosed if I need it and don't have it. Such as GENESIS brand heat gun.

My best example of Amazon being choc full of trash appliances was the SUNJOE brand power washers, but I'm pretty sure Home Depot is buying en masse from Amazon and marking the prices up, as they carry the exact same power washer now.

Bezos gets his penis caught in an ATM machine, fire crews show up with the jaws of life to pry him out. “I thought that’s how these things worked, I usually don’t walk amongst the peasants but it’s prime day” he says to his visibly blushing mother.

Fun fact, all you need to get the Student Amazon Prime is access to a .edu email address. Which you can buy on Ebay for $1. Also works for the student rate Amazon Music :smug:

Are you sure about this? I still have access to my .edu address but Amazon's site says this:

quote:

To continue student prime membership, Please send an email with your proof of enrollment (any document) which includes your name, college name and current term details, as an attachment to amazon-student-verification@amazon.com from the email address associated with your account.​

If you submit your documentation and it meets our criteria, we will then charge you the $59.00 discounted Prime rate and re-enroll you in Prime Student and refund your regular Prime membership charges for remaining days.



You can send any from the below options:

* Your student ID displaying the current term or an expiration date; just a student ID number is not valid

* Your transcript or class list with your name, your university’s name and the current term on it

* Your tuition bill with your name, your university’s name and the current term on it

* An official acceptance letter for the upcoming term (must include matriculation date)​

How did you get around all that?

I did actually end up buying a golf range finder which was on sale for 79, off from 129 and has some cool features.
I've never really wanted one since I grew up caddying and it's a stubborn point of honor for me to be good about calling yardage when I play, but gently caress it. This thing gives you exact yardage to the pin, tells what angle above/below it you are, and then tells you the adjusted drat difference between the two and like hell I'm doing that math in my head.
Plus it 'rumbles' when it locks onto the pin so you know when it 'sees' it, which is a nice feature that usually only the pricier ones have.

In case anyone is wondering "That's bullshit, you can't hit a flag stick from that far away", and you don't play golf, golf flag sticks have these on them now:


So when they get 'sprayed' by the rangefinder it bounces it back to them. Fancy, huh?

e: Here's what the display looks like through the scope:


Neat huh?

This isn't amazons fault that you're dumb.

Guys I'm lookin' at 2 different 65in tvs here, one costs about $399 and the other one is just over $1000 but the pricier one is a Sony and has tons of cool features and a warranty, but man this cheap one is made by 'Flurb' and says "Yes" in the product the description you think this is a great idea???
