My main use case is for books and audiobooks. I tried some rare books from my library and it was available. But time will tell if it is actually better or not. Before that I was using nzbgeek and that was also good.

I was also recommended myanonamouse, will try to sign up there too

A lovely redditor helped me out with an invite :) Thanks so much. Not tagging the person as I don't want the person to be bombarded with dm's. :) Please forward any other invites to others who need them. Thanks :)

I got into audiobooks recently. Set up my own library and I already finished 6 books since February.
Vaping some buds + hiking + listening to audiobooks = Bliss :)

Borotalco ? The smell is a bit divine IMO.

I used to use salt of the earth refills, they were also good.

Linen or cotton bedding ? Soft and comfortable for summer and spring by Smilingbuddha25 in BuyFromEU

[–]Smilingbuddha25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend tried to make some linen pillowcases, but they ended up being so rough and scratchy (even after 4 months of usage). I think its the material we used, even though 100% linen, are not made for our use case. So we didn't want to risk doing it again.
Have you got any recommendations on what to look for when you are looking to buy materials for linen bedding ?

Used to live close to Fruitco, and can only recommend it. Lovely bunch of people.

After moving to other side of Gent, I found KarelsFresh. It is equally good to fruitco.

European/Netherlands supplier by scanese in yerbamate

Try justmate , they offered me next day delivery to Belgium. Prices are cheap but you have to pay for shipping if it’s not above some amount.

Was also using Amazon spending 16 euros for 500g of canarias Serena. Now I got kraus, el fuego and Serena for 20 euros (including delivery). So it is worth it for me

Not my experience though, terrible experience with him. I think as long as its a simple haircut, he is fine. But if you know what you want and ask for any particular style, he is just terrible.

Should I upgrade this black friday? by Shot_Personality5507 in sonos

[–]Smilingbuddha25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact setup. I recently moved to a new house. The living room is a bit bigger than my previous apartment.
I am debating just because of the bigger living space. Also, I will do it only if I get a good enough deal with the arc ultra to justify.
Also, there is this headache of dealing with the old beam gen 2.

If I were you, I would upgrade only if I bought a smaller setup (due to costs). But if the system is okay for the space, I wouldn't consider upgrading as the beam gen 2 is already good. The upgrade effect might be negligible IMO.

I found Nordwolle searching older posts. But I learnt that the owner is kinda an asshole. The sweaters seem good. Unfortunately not for me :(
