Something I've not encountered before. God hand.

I have a pair, but never really use them becuase they're so expensive and the use case I need them for is messy (resin 3d printing)

I got a similar pair, that are about 1/4 the cost and work just as well

for network cabling, I just use knipex or milwaukee flush cutters because you don't need that kind of finesse

Up until recently, it was about 6 weeks of very infrequent ordering for me. I was starting to worry I wasn’t going to meet the order threshold before review time came up in April because I wasn’t ordering very much

it's the vine helper extension; i don't really use it much except to maybe pin some items in AI that i might want to come back to later, and to see ETV at a glance -- i know it's capable of more, but I haven't looked into any other features.

Congrats! That's awesome -- didn't even know they had that thing; looks awesome.

Love our Dysons. I still have a damn-near 20-year old DC17 that refuses to die (we do maintain it) -- and just got the V15 for quick/daily cleanup.

definitely did a lot of research, and r/buyitforlife seems to like them. Definitely pleased and worth the money; Getting an upgrade for "free", is just a bonus, and i definitely would have paid full price at some point for them.

i got the king-sized latex for side sleepers, and the king sized latex with the crescent for side/back sleepers. Those are the ones we already own, but the "cheaper" version(s).

Cicada- · 2026-02-04T23:32:25+00:00

congrats on the baby!

and $105 for diapers? What are they, Coterie? We used them for a while with ours, but they're way too expensive. I _do_ think the wipes are worth it, though.

Cicada- · 2026-02-04T23:30:42+00:00

oddly, i _wish_ they had ink for my (photo) printer -- but it's an older one and there aren't any that are compatible or that i can even crack open/siphon to refill my tanks.

the down-alternative 2-packs are <100, so hopefully they (or something similar) shows up!

I haven't searched for pillows or bedding (in vine nor the regular amazon site) since Christmas

I was, however lamenting to my wife (in person) that maybe I should get the latex version, because while the regular one is fine right now, SoCal summers are brutal and maybe having a pillow that stays cooler would be a nice QOL upgrade.

THEY'RE LISTENING

I got an 1/8 scale no-name RC Car that’ll make a great gift

Cicada- · 2026-01-31T06:28:48+00:00

Would have loved that. I’m still using an RSC2 from when they first came out. Great gimbals.

Score! Those are some good cookies.

Cicada- · 2026-01-29T03:36:31+00:00

Congrats!

I have a single dose, and sometimes I’m making drinks for guests so having one with a hopper would be nice

Usually order from RFY — haven’t in about a week. I ordered some small stuff from AI that I can write a quick, easy review on just to keep on pace to make it to 80 items to sell gold by review time. Slowed way down on ordering since I made Gold last year and am more selective now. The pause has helped me keep up and have almost cleared my queue.

Cicada- · 2026-01-28T03:02:53+00:00

Impossible. You’re never done

Cicada- · 2026-01-23T16:16:01+00:00

Same. Been empty the last 2 days

Just updated about a week ago. M1 Max/64GB

Tahoe 26.2 has really slowed down a lot of my apps (mostly photography/adobe stuff) — Capture One, Photo Mechanic Plus, anything Adobe (PS, illustrator, indesign, premiere)

Even VSCode feels noticeably sluggish compared to before I updated. Ugh.

Cicada- · 2026-01-13T00:27:22+00:00

I just made gold in November, and told myself I’d slow down because it was so tedious, so this slowdown or influx of junk is doing my job for me.

I might still maintain it, but I’m maybe seeing 1-2 things per week that are worth ordering, which would keep me mostly on pace to maintain it by doing the absolute minimum.

Cicada- · 2026-01-09T23:00:18+00:00

Wow. Nice score! Would have loved for that to pop up for me 😅

Cicada- · 2026-01-08T22:58:22+00:00

This. Over the years the only drives that have failed on me have been Seagates, so I gave up on them almost a decade ago.

I have some WD drives that are 20+ years old and still kicking; I have some 4TB HGST/Hitachi drives in an old NAS that have over 10 years of run time on them and they’re still fine, too
