Ordered these on Amazon because my airpods are making my ears hurt if I use them all day. Just got them and they are fine, but fuck me they get hot as hell. Reminded me why I never wore over the ear headphones before.

Those jeans look nice. Any online stores sell this Diesel brand? Thanks

Maybe I'm doing it wrong too. I've been on the same mattress for 15 years. I rotate it from time to time but I have zero back problems. It probably has 3 trillion dust mites though.

We had a mattress (before the one we are now getting rid of) for about 16 years. One of those you flip and rotate (new mattresses don’t get flipped anymore). I’ve missed it since. Fuck the dust mites. If you’re still comfortable, keep it.

I feel your pain. Wifey and I replaced our queen sized Tempurpedic with a new split King one. The old base could raise the head but the new bases can raise both feet and head. It's crazy what these things can cost.

I bought a Purple Hybrid (4") mattress a year ago and love it. The only unexpected thing is it isn't a pillow top... you kinda sink in instead.

I also bought their sheets and Harmony pillow and wasn't crazy about either at first, but they've both grown on me to the point that at least the pillow is my preference.

Passed my Bose QC35 to the wife since she needed them for work, so I upgraded to the QC 35 II in Triple Midnight when they went on sale recently.

Also got some crack climbing gloves for an upcoming climbing trip.

Then as my to-do list never gets any shorter I opted for a smaller dual bearing flush trim bit for my handheld router, along with a dust attachment for said router, and a 1,200 pack of screws as I am running out. The screws were damaged/started falling out of the package in transit so a replacement is on the way.

$8k?! Good mattresses were $1-2k for a Cal King when we were shopping for my son's new bed. Our bed is 10 years old, long overdue, but $8k is insane. What does it do?

Mattress is about 1/2 and the (optional) adjustable base is the other 1/2, so just under $4K for the mattress. Mattress has no coils, layers of latex + foam instead. Supposed to provide both pressure relief and firm support. The regular coil mattresses (mostly Stearns & Foster) we looked at were all $2K+ so this was almost 2x the price, but expect this to be more comfortable and last longer. We have 90 day trial and can exchange for $100 fee / no re-stocking if we aren’t happy with it. I’m ok paying it if we can get better sleep, less aches and pains and eliminate my periodic reflux.

I retreated from my original plan to go with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I'm just afraid of carrying around such a large device. So I ordered a 12 Pro in blue along with a blue silicone case from Apple.

It is interesting how Apple is making less of a difference between the standard iPhone and the pro. Now they have the same processor, same screen, so I do you respect the concept of picking the standard iPhone.

Yeah we are very well covered by 5G and even have several ultra wide band 5G spots here. That was the main decider for me, along with Verizon just giving me $200 off.

Yeah, we have nicer cameras for when we really need good pictures. Most of the time the iPhone X camera was good enough for me and this is a step up from that even so, really couldn't justify the extra $250 or whatever it was for the Pro. I was also just able to walk into my local store and buy this as it was in stock.

I am VERY interested in this exact setup! We currently have a high dollar traditional memory foam over box springs mattres. Both my wife and I are having either hip (her) and lower back (me) pains lately. I am not convinced that an entire memory foam mattress setup is the solution though...?
Do keep me posted buddy! PM me.

Some plain T-shirts. This is exactly the kind of purchase that I make sure is Made in America. These are from American Giant. I have their hoodie and it's unbelievable quality, so I figured I'd try their shirts.

In that note... If anyone is looking for arguably the best hoodie made, check these guys out. I love the fit of their hoodies because they're fitted and not all loose and baggy.

Depends on one's sizing but their hoody is solid. Well constructed and worth every penny. I'm between sizes and went with the L but don't find it too loose or baggy. Not fitted either but that's just me.

I switched to an organic latex foam mattress (about $2K) five years ago, and it's been a great experience. Like sleeping on a cloud.
