Recommendation for a waterproof mattress cover / encasement? I'm getting a new mattress and am looking to increase its longevity as much as possible. Only hazards are mainly sex fluids, coconut oil, and if it starts to collect dust / etc (no bedbug issues) over time. I'm not certain if I want an encasement or just a cover. It's a latex mattress, if it makes a difference. meatbag posted:Any recommendations for gloves that work with touch phones?

Bonus advantage of being able to be used as a liner for a heavier glove. PRADA SLUT has a new favorite as of 09:21 on Jan 5, 2016 |

For a zero-calorie, no-sugar "add to water", it's probably the best you're going to get. I don't have a problem with it.

colas posted:What should I look for in a monitor if I want text to look good? I got a basic 1080 27" ASUS monitor recently but the text doesn't look as good as my 1440x900 macbook. I'm thinking Dell Ultrasharp or a 1440p monitor. Pixel density (PPI, sometimes called High DPI, Apple calls theirs "retina"). In fact, it will make everything look good. Around 220+ PPI is where you want to be at. The downside is that the larger the monitor, the less pixel density it has by its resolution (IE, a 19" 1080p monitor looks better than a 24" 1080p monitor, even though the 24 is larger). A 27" 1080p monitor has a PPI of 81. For comparison, a 22" 1080p monitor has a PPI of 100. A 60" 1080p TV has a PPI of only 36. Something like Apple's Macbook Pro has a 2800x1800 resolution on a 15" screen, for a 226 PPI, which is around what modern smartphones have. Also, with smaller pixels there is less of that black "grid" in between pixels and will make your monitor look a lot better overall. The downside is that your eyes will quickly adjust to how much better these kinds of screens look, and then when you have to look at a different screen it feels like watching a VHS again. As far as the actual monitor / brand / etc, I'm not familiar enough with the screens to pick one, but SH/SC has a thread. PRADA SLUT has a new favorite as of 07:09 on Mar 17, 2016 |

Looking for a shampoo* or hair mask or something that's basically strictly for anti-dandruff. I know you can get combination antidandruff shampoo, but I'm specifically wondering if there's a product that won't clean hair, just manage dandruff only. Something like a hair rinse or a mask you can just wash out with water. At worst, if it's in a shampoo, I'm looking for the least effective shampoo possible. I know you can get one without SLS, but something even less than that would be preferable, regardless of its cleaning efficiency. DIY is fine as long as it's not something like soaking your head in vinegar so it smells for a week straight.

I like the New Balance Minimus because it's flat, has no arch support, and realistically no padding. It's far more comfortable than trying to stand on those squishy-rear end foam wedges that most "comfort" shoes are now.

bongwizzard posted:What should a messenger bag cost? $100-$200 for something like that. People just see cheap poo poo all the time and think that's the normal price and everything else is a scam. Look at men's dress shoes, most men can't fathom spending $200 on long-lasting, quality shoes when they're surrounded by $40 disposable Bostonian poo poo at wal mart.

colas posted:My Jansport messenger bag is 18 years old. It hasn't had the life of a bike messenger's bag or anything though. Also it's black so it doesn't look too bad because it's black. I'm still told I should get a new one but ones I look at are either too small or too big. And I don't like the ones with the big rear end flap over them, wtf is that poo poo. Chrome Citizen, but it sits up on your back more like a backpack, less like a purse: http://www.chromeindustries.com/citizen-messenger-bag Unless you don't like "a flap", which is p. much ubiquitous.

Looking for books for children (preschoolish to grade schoolish) about women in STEM? Or, failing the women part, just story books for children about science or engineering or the like. I've seen Ada Lovelace and the Thinking Machine and am looking for something along those lines, though could be for younger children as well: https://www.amazon.com/Ada-Byron-Lovelace-Thinking-Machine/dp/1939547202 Age-specific reading comprehension isn't that important, as they can be read by an adult like a storybook.

Inspector 34 posted:I really love the idea of slippers, but I need something super breathable since my feet are always hot. I normally just wear some nike sandals, but I feel like a scrub if I happen to go out to run an errand and don't feel like putting on actual shoes. Some of those canvas boat shoe style things look super comfy, but not sure I can pull off the style since I don't normally wear khakis and polo shirts. Wear socks with them, and then ask the guy who wanted the iPhone belt and the guy that wanted Ecko comfort fit dress shoes to go shopping together.
