After playing guitar for many years, I impulse bought a bass and it’s been a game changer. I found my instrument.

Buy stuff on sale or used, then take it to the Patagonia store to get repaired. Great for things like jeans, they’ll last a lifetime.

I love Patagonia. They’ll repair anything even if you’re not the original owner., they use sustainable and recycled materials and they’ve used their profits to protect huge areas of land.

I do like Valve and their products, but I can’t ignore that they know they have an underage gambling issue and have done nothing to fix it.

Here’s a coffeezilla video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13eiDhuvM6Y

Gets better every time I watch it.

I’m pretty sure the pre-order price was somewhere around $100.

For anybody curious what’s going on in this region I highly recommend the podcast The Woman’s War. Its a great listen by the same guy who does Behind the Bastards.

Seconding Behind the Bastards. Great podcast.

I’ve been using PurelyMail for over a year now and it’s been solid. Probably aimed more at tech-minded folk though.

Only go this route if you’re looking for a new hobby.

I haven’t seen exercise mentioned nearly enough in this thread. Doing an hour of yoga before bed makes sleep soo much easier.

I made the switch recently. I love it but do wish it was a fair bit cheaper.

I just ordered my first TV ever, and its a smart TV of course. My first choice would be to not connect it to the internet, but my wife wouldn’t like that. So i think ill just put it on its own network and block as many domains that it uses to phone home with as i can, without breaking functionality.

In Canada, at least in a city, it’s rare that I can’t find things for the same price or cheaper in local stores. Amazon comes in handy for harder to find items though I’ve been using Aliexpress more for those items lately.

Love this thread. Here are some of my favs off the top of my head. My music tastes are all over the place.

• Elis Regina - Aguas de Marco
• Molchat Doma - Sudno
• DakhaBrakha - Baby
• Vinicio Capossela - Ovunque proteggi
• Francis Bebey - Sanza Nocturne
• Silvio Rodriguez - Al Final de Este Viaje
• Amadou & Mariam - M’Bifé
• Mariah - 心臓の扉 (Shinzo No Tobira)

That whole album is amazing.

Whaaaat! I had no idea. This is blowing my mind. I’ve watched this guy’s channel for years and didn’t know about this.

Trying this ASAP
