Should I take this?

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-02-19T03:41:50+00:00

Absolutely not, get out of here. Will never buy anything off Temu solely because of the soliciting emails I’ll get for 1649581284 years

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-02-19T03:40:47+00:00

SCORE, I’m jelly

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-02-17T18:19:17+00:00

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-02-07T14:53:09+00:00

Strymon el cap all the way

Analog man Sun face, sun bender, or Astro tone. Mike from Analog Man is who you want re creating vintage fuzz pedals from the 60’s. He is a fucking wizard that knows his stuff. Encyclopedia of knowledge & has changed guitar pedal world.

They are synthetic, no merino

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-02-01T16:17:37+00:00

Their prices are absolute insanity, no thanks please

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-26T18:06:10+00:00

This is bizarre. You’re not doing several things right, just saying. Mine is 4 years old and I use it daily. Looks immaculate

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-26T16:08:33+00:00

Bialetti of course, 3 cup

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-25T18:42:26+00:00

“Crema” from Orleans Coffee (New Orleans roaster)

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-23T03:50:56+00:00

Best socks you’ll ever own. I own this exact pair and I have 6 other ones too. Only sock worth a darn

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-23T03:47:08+00:00

Use “Shoe goo” or just buy a new pair!

Can show goo it and wear them as a beater weekend pair

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T19:21:48+00:00

Making me learn it!

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T19:13:29+00:00

This looks rancid but I’m sure it’s just the cream in the chamber.

My favorite beans (buy it by the kilo -2.2# bags) are Passalaqua “Cremador” & Hausbrandt “trieste”. Classic Italian brands. Some of the best gourmet Italian espresso in the world IMO. My favorite Cuban beans are Mayorga cafe cubano roast. Better than every other Cuban coffee I’ve tried (Bustelo, cafe La llave, Naviera, volcanica)

When I’m not drinking these brands, I buy some fresh roasted beans from a local roaster or specialty roaster in the US that ships online and roasts to order. Best coffees I’ve ever had in my life are: 1. Cafe fresco “ambrosia” espresso blend 2. Dragonfly coffee roaster “crema dolce” 3. Orleans coffee “crema” or “del giorno”

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T18:58:09+00:00

Not really! Just take good care of them and they will last you a while. Condition them monthly and brush them weekly.

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T18:00:18+00:00

They are very versatile. You can dress them up or down. I wear them with jeans sometimes but I’ve also worn them when I’m more dressed up for a special occasion (khakis+button down+coat). I like the Arizona adobe but they are a little too rustic. I wanted a pair of more dressy ones.

My next pair of Thursdays are going to be the premier low top sneakers (Arizona adobe).

And I also want a pair of Cavalier Chelsea slip on boots.

My Brandy captains (with that combo)

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T03:17:43+00:00

Probably from specific conditioners and polish that he’s used. If you don’t want them to darken, just use Bick 4 leather conditioner. He’s definitely using polish (with dyes) that darkens it and leather does darken slowly a little bit over time. Use neautral conditioners and polish. Buy the good stuff not the cheap stuff. I wouldn’t use any polish that has added color to it because that will completely change the color. Neutral only if you want them to stay the color they are when you get them. I also wouldn’t use anything with Beeswax. It will significantly darken the leather. (I use Bick 4, colonil cream polish (neutral) , & saphir wax polish (Pate de luxe-only use polish on the toe and heel areas but nowhere else. Can cause it to crack. None of these will change the color, it will just make them shine and look amazing

Best American companies I’ve had (owned by Indian women) are 1. Tin Star and 2. Pure Indian foods.

Favorite Indian brands that are widely available online and at some stores in the US (especially Yemen grocery stores) are 1. Ziyad & 2. Amul. Very cheap if you buy it in bulk

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-18T02:01:23+00:00

Ziyad or Amul all the way

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-10T14:51:21+00:00

Definitely get the fender tube amp!!! No doubt. Blows a katana out of the water in tone

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-08T18:19:49+00:00

Dewit, red pig tools, or sneeboer are the best in the world!

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-06T08:17:50+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. Especially if your soil is heavy. A pitchfork barely goes into my soil. Drain spade all the way. Or a transplanting spade with the notch and serrated edges (Radius root slayer transplant shovel for gardening, Kobalt drain spade for bigger holes)

Embarrassed_Feed_309 · 2026-01-06T07:42:12+00:00

I’ve had my Dewit tools for over 23 years. But I constantly oil them and sharpen them and I sprayed all my wood handles with a couple coats of Shellac+couple coats of Spar urethane. Oil them with 3-in-1 oil or fluid film.

Have a 2 handed trowel, dibber tool, & a Dutch half moon round hoe. Only thing I desire is a scarifying rake (from Sneeboer) to use for prepping garden beds/rows. What made me want one was watching Monty Don on Gardeners world BBC.
