Yo, what is that? And how you use it? You peaked my interest with streaming and gaming stuff

The Shield TV by nVidia

SHIELD TV

Android streaming media player/set top box that's connected to the Google Play Store. Plays local media and streams content via official apps, Kodi, or Plex. Plays whatever games/emulators are available in the store (or whatever you can sideload that works) and it comes bundled with nVidia's Geforce Now that allows you to play current gen or classic games on it via stream and Steam (yes, you read that right) and I believe locally (haven't tried this out yet).

Just connect it to your TV via hdmi, connect it to your home network via Wifi or the ethernet port in the back and you're good to go.

Brehs in the cut cable thread can help you out with just about anything you need: https://www.thecoli.com/threads/cut-cable-brehs.151746/

Costs about $160-180 but it's worth every penny.

Power strip tower. Specifically THAT one. The reason I chose that one, is because amongst all the other power towers I've seen, this one actually takes the wattage it advertises it can take (Ran both my Air Fryer and Electric Kettle on it and it worked smoothly) while doing it's surge protector duties.

I have this on my desk at work and it's a godsend, because I no longer have to go under the desk to manage what all I want plugged in, while having to unplug shyt whenever I have MORE shyt to plug in. I wasn't too keen on the USB ports since the only thing I had charging at the time on a dedicated basis was my phone and Nintendo Switch, and I had BOTH of those juiced up with my Turbo Power USBC plug in charger, but I recently copped some USB fans that I got at strategic points to keep both me and the customers cool as well as a multi prong USB-cord that I can give folks phones a quick charge and I can safely say I'm FULLY utilizing what this thing has to offer.

Got two desktops, my laptop, a money counting machine, a credit card machine, my USB fans, my phone AND Nintendo Switch and the odd customer phone or two charging and working.....this shyt's a beast. You might not need all that shyt, but I love the design of these Power Towers compared to the flat strips, especially if you wanna keep it off the floor and minimize/control stretched cords that can be tripped over or god forbid, yank down your device along with other shyt.

Good shyt.

Now I'll see come back and edit this if this device starts to give me problems or weird quirks since Amazon reviews at times can be wonky, but

Alright not sure which thread I read it in, either this one or another one where a coli breh recommended using Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser.

I actually had that sitting in a box for a whole year and didn't even bother to open it. Anyways finally started using it and it is amazing, makes your mouth so fresh and so clean. It is like another level of clean.


Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser

damn. i have had one for about 2 years and havent even taken it out of the box

If you have vision insurance, go get a vision test done. Seriously. You might think you're fine, but you're walking around squinting and frowning and shyt and you don't even realize it.

A roll of paper towels in the trunk is always a good idea.

You got to start using it breh. I honestly thought it would be a hassle and spill water everywhere but is it really great. Makes my mouth feel fresh. I am not going to lie I fukken hate flossing, so I use this as a substitute.

What brands did y'all buy?

Colgate Sensitive.

Got a sample from the dentist...

Originally thought... "sure, this is really gonna work..."

And it does. It works WELL. Need to brush with it for about a week for the effect to really kick in. Inexpensive too.

 

[WesCrook]

Pretty basic. Spray this on your carpet, rugs, and car floors. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then vacuum. Absorbs all of the odor.

Only $1 a can
