I bought a lat pulldown/ low row tower for our gym. It's nice that it isn't too bulky with a small footprint but still sturdy enough to theoretically hold almost 400lbs of weight.

I've been camping/backpacking with the same 3 person tent since 2011, so I thought it was time to upgrade to something smaller and lighter for backpacking so I got this: https://www.sixmoondesigns.com/collections/ultralight-tents/products/skyscape-scout?aff=19

Any winter slipper suggestions? My wife wears LLBean moccasin style ones until they wear through but they've been getting news about no longer honoring their warranty.

My understanding of the LL Bean warranty stuff is they've stopped the ridiculous stuff - like the guy who bought one shirt in 1958 and comes back every 18 months for a free new one - but are pretty good on any returns within one year and even decent beyond that on actual defects.

I wear slippers year round in the house because we have mostly hard wood floors. I'd love any recommendations on slippers that look like slippers on the outside but have as much padding as a sneaker inside. I'm currently 2.5 years into a pair of Izod slippers with a Dr. Scholls insert but the left one is starting to come apart.

Thank you  I'll try and get some pictures up when I've gotten them framed and mounted.The skeleton is actually remarkably realistic for its time, and it's suspected the artist had a copy of a very rare anatomy book called the Kaitai Shinsho, which was brought over from Germany.  I mostly just think it's a badass picture though

After 10 years of regular use, my Xbox 360 controllers stopped working on PC. It seems it's the Chinese wireless receiver that the controllers can't find. It's a shame that Microsoft no longer support these things. They don't even sell receivers anymore, and recently introduced a change in the drivers that made them stop working with Chinese ones (but there's still a workaround). So after a few hours of trying to fix the issue I'm just realizing that I don't have time for this poo poo and that I should buy a Xbox One controller which is probably what Microsoft wanted all along. Problem, after checking online, none of the local game stores have one in stock, which is insane because there are tons of PS4/Nintendo controllers. Same thing on Amazon, nothing available right now, always weeks/months of waiting. A game store owner told me Microsoft stopped sending them controllers for months now. So I just went to the supermarket electronics section, and at the bottom of the ridiculously small Xbox shelf (seriously, it's like 1/10th of Sony's or Nintendo's shelves) I just found two boxes of this dumb thing, hidden behind racing wheels.  Thank god it's not too stupid looking, and was only 5 more expensive than normal ones. Literally the only other option I had left was a second hand Elite series 2 for 140, and there's no way I'm paying that much for something that apparently stops working randomly for tons of users. gently caress you Microsoft for stopping supporting a perfectly fine controller (both my 10 years old 360 controllers still work perfectly) and actively trying to prevent people to find other ways to keep them working. And gently caress you for forcing me to buy the Billie Eilish of controllers when all I needed was a boring plain one. If you weren't making the absolute best controllers for Steam games you would definitely have lost a customer. *This post was sent from a Microsoft operating system* SpaceGoatFarts has a new favorite as of 13:47 on Sep 21, 2020 |

mystes posted:Are you using voice and if not can't you just use it in bluetooth mode? The old 360 ones don't have bluetooth  You needed the dongle and Microsoft stopped selling them and makes sure the Chinese ones don't work on Win 10.I'm not complaining too much, the Xbox one feels even better than the 360, and the bluetooth means I don't need their stupid dongle anymore. It's just it's spectacularly scummy from Microsoft to make sure Chinese copies of a product they don't even sell anymore don't work on Windows 10, while they did since forever SpaceGoatFarts has a new favorite as of 14:20 on Sep 21, 2020 |

Funny, the batteries when flat in my xbox one controller I was using with my PC and I dug out my old 360 wired controller to keep the party going. That thing has been a workhorse for several years now.

I'm surprised a supermarket in Europe carries anything Xbox related at all. Or is "supermarket" less like a grocery chain and more of a Target/Walmart type store?

It was at a Carrefour so they have big stores selling kind of everything: food, clothes, appliances, TVs, bicycle parts, etc. It was just still a bit shocking to see only 1m of shelf space with 2 xbox games and a few accessories when the other brands literally have 10 times more. Wouldn't surprise me that brands have to pay for shelf space in these kind of stores Maybe Xboxes are less popular but it's not like they are obscure.

To be fair this is the second gen of the Galaxy Fold (third if you count the initial version that they pulled the release from and reworked). Definitely agree with you about the price though. If you're heavy into office365/teams and looking for a work communicator that's heavily optimised for that workflow (and you absolutely do not care about the main camera quality) you might be interested in the Microsoft Surface Duo, though that one is first gen.

I feel that this is the better implementation. It's the software that I'm mostly concerned about at this point. I'm also a blue bubble snob too... blunt posted:To be fair this is the second gen of the Galaxy Fold (third if you count the initial version that they pulled the release from and reworked).
