Yeah - that used to be the case, but you can get some very nice non-quartz watches for well under $300. e.g.: The much-loved Orient Bambinos can be had for as little as $125 on sale; one of the best values for a timeless automatic dress watch. Also, the Seiko 5's and Seiko skx 007/009 are classic automatic dive…

Pretty much spot on, but it must also be said, whatever you do: DO NOT BUY INVICTA! They’re the gaudy, too-large-for-your-wrist, bottom-of-the-barrel cheap brand.

Actually, WE MAY NOT DIE (due to natural causes), thanks to the Law of Accelerating Returns, and us being lucky enough to be living NOW on the knee of the exponential curve of progress in biotech, AI and many other technologies.

Well... I still wouldn’t risk raid5 with Seagate (even with a hotspare); raid6, sure. :)

Would’ve liked to see the number of platters in each drive in the spreadsheet. The more platters, the more moving parts there are to fail.

If you’re already going into debt for a inflated-value diploma what’s a few more dollars here and there. /s

We’ve been eyeing a new Breville toaster oven to replace our disgusting old $30 Hamilton Beach oven for quite a while. But then WireCutter rated the “Panasonic Flash Xpress” oven higher than the Breville, and it’s cheaper too at around $115. Think we’ll wait for a sale on the Panasonic instead (via camelcamelcamel…

It’s sortof like a Cabela’s - redneck paradise. Guns, knives, huntin’ clothes, fishin’ poles, camping gear, etc.

I can’t be the only one who just “lollipops it” one-handed, stripping the meat off both bones in one or two passes. Leaves the other hand grease-free for other things.

Just a friendly WARNING: I’ve bought a bunch of these super-cheap LED bulbs (mostly the “TCP” brand on Amazon), and they’re great except for one minor gotcha: After you turn the lights out you’ll often hear a bunch of loud POPS for up to ten minutes as the bulbs cool down and contract. Annoying, sure, but that’s what…

Works with Google Inbox as well.

Looks like my R7000 with updated stock firmware (V1.0.7.2_1.1.93) is vulnerable, as I see a page of javascript functions (with the cmd output at bottom) when I view that link.

Same. My old Linksys WRT54something had DD-WRT, and I loved it, but when I got my R7000 I didn’t bother, despite missing a few important features

Too bad they don’t have a “Coffee Bean Direct” button, since that’s the only thing I regularly buy from Amazon at odd but regular intervals (always moving the subscribe-and-save ship date around).

Thanks. Finally bought one. Now I’ve got to look up some ‘slow cooker’ recipes to make it worthwhile. :)

A pair of waterproof, leather Timberland ‘Earthkeeper’ boots was probably my best buy. It was the first time I ever paid more than $100 for any shoe, and it’s definitely paid off in durability - aided by conditioning the leather with saddlesoap/wax - compared to the $20 faux-leather crap from PayLessShoes which…

I bought one of these myself but haven’t worn it yet because I can’t bring myself to cut it to length (like you’re ‘supposed’ to do). I’ll just continue wearing my old belts unless/until I outgrow the last two holes.

Big Skinny wallets -- http://www.bigskinny.net/ -- We don’t need to carry around as much junk in our wallets as we used to, but especially if you still do, it’s better if the wallet itself takes up less space.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a torrent client with ads. My progression of clients over the years, since the birth of the BT protocol in 2001 has been:

I tried to like this game, but the inventory management killed it for me. Wish there was a “zen mode” where you didn’t have to worry about the OCD stuff
