Nobody here is mad, just trying to explain how some watches are priced well and made by reputable brands and some are overpriced fashion brand watches. Telling a friend they've overpaid for an Alienware isn't the same as being mad at them about it. Relax Dundee, you seem awfully hung up on this concept yourself

I bought a case of these for around $40 since it would have been too expensive to keep buying four packs at :10bux: a pop. Been keeping an eye out for the 120, I'd settle for a four of that since I've never had it, but bottle shops near me don't seem to carry it,

Meh, the 120 minute is okay. I bought one a few years ago (the single 12oz bottle cost 8 bucks) and was dissapointed; it is simply too sweet. I'm a huge fan of the 90 minute and other imperial (harpoon's leviathan is delicious) and double ipa's (great divide's Hercules is great), so it was kind of a let dow.

120 minute varies year to year in taste. I don't think it's on purpose but it does. I've had quite a few bottles of it and it always tastes a little different. I definitely remember someone telling me one year it was too sweet.

That makes a lot of sense, since everyone was giving it such high regard before I tried it. I'll have to look into finding another and giving it another chance.

I hate the taste of a lot of alcoholic beverages, but goddamn, Fireball owns. And yeah, if you take more than a shot or two of it (which is easy because it's not very strong...spicy? ), you start to feel it quick.

It's only 70 proof I believe, while most (non-cordial) liquor is 80-100 proof. The lower alcohol content mixed with the overpowering spice makes it easier to handle.

So completely agree with you. Love the 402 design and feel in my hand.

I love Zebra pens for their grip/feel, but their ink always seem to dry out premature. Honestly, to this day, I've yet to find a pen that is better as a writing instrument (I.e. works exactly when I need it to) than your standard bic pen.

These waterproof gloves were posted on Slickdeals, $10 w/free shipping. But they're only 40g Thinsulate and I already have 40g Thinsulate leather gloves, and I didn't like the camo:


Inspired by the fact the wind chill was 0*F this morning, I ended up buying these. 80g Thinsulate, Gore-Tex, look better, and on "sale" from $60 to $15, though shipping and tax brought it up to $22. More than I wanted to spend, but they should last a long time.

Actually this is the best cheap(ish) ballpoint

$7 for 1, 2 pack for $12 on prime. I dare you to try one and tell me it's inferior to any other cheap ballpoint.

The ink dries out in zebras much too early for how much they cost. Cheap bic ballpoint pens for life. Also, those jetstreams are nice, but a little too expensive for how long they last.

I love that people come into a thread about materialism (generally) and then get mad at people who buy nice things. Yes, everyone has different tastes, but no one is asking for your opinion. Basically, stop shop-shaming.

Content: just got some super-soft flannel shirts from cabela's (as I love their roughneck flannels in winter). Love them, but I really wish they made medium-talls, as opposed to just large+-talls. Having a long and (relatively) thin torso is a pain in the rear end for sizing.

I hate to burst your cognitive dissonance bubble, but unless you are growing/making all of your own food/clothing/furniture/etc. (Or are otherwise locally sourcing it), someone or something is likely being exploited by your consumption habits. That's kind of, like, capitalism's thing.

Edit: for an example related to your post, look into conflict minerals and the controversy related to their use in computers.

Now, I'm not much of a shoe person (having size 13-14 feet loving blows), but I've wanted a pair of leather chucks forever. I was all set to buy a pair of the classic black and whites when I saw these:


Dude at the store said that this particular color combination is a limited run, I can't seem to find anywhere online that sells them. They also seem to be made of softer leather than the other chucks I tried. I'm super happy with them, the zippers are rad as poo poo.

Not to shop-shame, but as size 12 myself, I can only imagine that size 13-14 chucks look like clown shoes.

99% of apps are much better on iOS (except Google's).

Android is great at a lot of things, but app disparity between the two ecosystems is a definite weakness.

The real question is, how many apps do you really use that it would really matter? Everyone uses there phones differently, and I'm no "power user", but I probably use a grand total of 7-10 apps total a day, and that's including texting, email, etc.

Load up the tray and let it rip. Best part is at least with my macs it just works with no drivers needed, and there is brother software if you need more than the OS provides. My neighbors run an office out of their house and got some other multifunction brand, maybe a Samsung or something and have had nothing but problems.
