Lmao, there were so many adds I switched to apps only mode ages ago. And they technically still advertise shit at the top, but only 3 things at a time and only pictures (for now?)

IIRC the key difference is that it’s smoother/softer and doesn’t feel itchy. I only own merino wool stuff though and can’t remember last time I wore regular wool, so not sure of other differences.

Bought a bunch of long sleeve shirts from Costco (like 15ish?) when they were cheap, as low as $6 per shirt as well as their Kirkland socks (for women, men’s are garbage) so some good deals can still be had there on certain products.

Only saw 50% merino wool/synthetic mix base layers though for sale there, but I know Ice breaker can occasionally have decent sales, but their prices have gone up over the years and quality down a bit since they move production out of NZ.

Edit: I think I first saw the shirts in UK, but only bought them in Canada and they’re made in Canada. They’ve doubled in price (non sale) in the last 3-4 years, but still cheaper than anywhere else and could be used as base layer.

You wouldn’t download…a shoe?

Oh yeah I have no doubt that it’s poorly designed andfrom what I read/saw even shit build quality. You couldnt pay me to drive a tesla. Just kind of amusing when they were flaunting their safety back in the day

I’d second swimming or in general doing stuff in water. The difficult part will be to find a place to do that which can accommodate your particular needs, i.e. if you don’t wanna actually swim, does the pool have area for that, is it not full of kids (not just kids) who won’t pay any attention to you and potentially hurt you while playing

Well, they had good safety rating IIRC - but no amount of safety measures is going to stop idiots from doing idiotic things with an explosive on wheels.

And it’s not like the houses (not apartment buildings) these days dont look all the same. Unless it’s some rich people building their own and even those usually end up looking pretty unimaginative.

Most things in our regular day-to-day lives would leave residue, even water (maybe deionized wouldn’t?) just a matter of how much and how noticeable. About the soap, well if you smell it on your hands after wash, then it’s still there and you will rub it onto stuff. At least it’s just soap tho…

I don’t know if you can reasonably remove all contaminants off your skin, unless you plan to like glove up or destroy the skin by washing waayyyyy too often. But you know, good hygiene will keep things you touch nicer for longer so keep at it.

Tbf unless you’re really anal about it, you’re never going to have perfectly clean hands all the time. But if your controller is getting discoloured quickly and regularly, then you can probably tell where the problem lies regardless of its colour.
I have similar issue with mouse, but it takes about 3-4 years of regular use for it to get really noticeably discoloured or start rubbing off top coat, to a point where even cleaning with IPA doesn’t do anything. And that’s a black mouse.
Also worth noting, many hand creams are a big no-no imho. Some of that shit destroys your gear, worse than any dirt.

Probably if you don’t wash your hands very often…or at all? Just guessing

Gotta warn you though, seems the only nice piece of nature you’ll get is on the border with BC and they did a real number on the environment in the north.

But you guys can probably actually fix it rather than celebrate CO2 like what these close are doing now with provincial legislature.

Can we swap Albertans with Coloradans though?

Interesting, I recall a colleague in UK mention that it was costing her up to 20k a year. That was her max but not always/everywhere - would have been almost 30k USD at the time, so it sounds considerably cheaper in US but obviously a lot more land available and affordable

Put some pumpkins in between the corn while you’re at it…harvest both at the same time. It’s what my grandmother used to do

Think I saw a non-cam torrent so should be streaming I guess

Hold on just a minute now, I’m sure he must have emptied himself at least once.

Any noticeable durability issues? Had my Samsung stick die completely just outside of warranty window…

It’s in his nature to eat the rich

Not sure why you’re downvoted, but I think you’re close to at least partial reason. Having one device last a few years makes it easier to replace under warranty, if what you’re truly trying to do is provide superior customer service over competition (they probably have lost of spare parts, as it makes sense to order bulk and of extras, unless you’re super greedy company who has no faith in its product).
And as I assume you’re suggesting, they’re going to make their money on the games that people buy to play on that device, so why waste effort on making miniscule improvements that may end up hurting your brand and labelling you a money grabber.
Don’t get me wrong, Valve know how to make lots of money, but I bet they’re smart enough to try and do it in a “sustainable” way from their perspective.

Maybe it’s late apple season there and with the news of countries blocking apple exports to Russia, he clearly decided to take matters into his own hands and to knock some apples off the trees, but the hammer kept falling back on his head. Self-inflicted accident, nothing to see here.
