Your latest cool purchase

My wife and I built this pc.
IMG_7759.jpeg
 
I bought these a few days ago. The printer stand is so strong and sturdy I'm sure I could stand on it and ride it around with no issue and the TV stand is amazing. It is very stiff, no flex and goes up to about 6 feet high or down to eye level and rolling either stand around only requires one finger because the wheels are so dang good. I am very very pleased with the stands and would buy them again. The TV is amazing and I really am enjoying it a lot. The Technics earbuds absolutely without any doubt slay the Samsung EarBuds2Pro that I used for about 14 months after they died for the 3rd time and then the warranty ran out. The Technics earbuds are amazing. I have them set up for multiple sources and simply play the TV or the digital audio player and the Technics earbuds somehow figure it all out and know what I want and automatically play whatever source I am using and that feature can go to 3 sources with full featured operation and apparently it can go to 10 sources but some sorta limitation occurs when doing that that I don't understand yet. The digital audio/video player is Android based so it's the same as operating a cel tel. I configured maybe 5 settings to get it to never need to be touched other than plugging it in for charging or stuffing it in my pocket and now I just touch the earbuds and the player starts at the last track I played and carries on and requires no input from me and I don't even need to power it ON as it does all that automatically. It really is nice to use. All very good purchases that are working out super good.

I also bought a new chair because the $300 chair I bought 2 years ago is failing. The seat cushion is compacted and I get shooting pain in my tailbone from it after a couple of hours, the wheels really are bad and so half the time I drag the chair rather than roll it around and the various control levers never have worked so I locked out the features and use it sitting straight up all the time. The new chair is totally overkill for my body weight but it is roomy, has springs in the seat and better foam, it has proper wheels with bearings and I like the color red too. I figure with the very high weight rating it will last longer and provide more support and the reviews all said it is the most comfortable chair the reviewers have used.

This chair has been a total failure and is destined for the landfill like most of the junk we get these days.

This looks brilliant. Does anyone know the power output to headphones. Also is it completely silent in operation, low noise floor?

This week Amazon had a big markdown on these, seemingly out of the blue. Not sure why but also not at all complaining.

Nice pedals, I have several.

Guitar pedals are really interesting actually, and was kind of part of my awakening into hifi nonsense as it goes. Although analogue pedals like these are very nice, these pedals are as subjective as sound gets for an effect on an instrument. That really got me thinking that's all our hifis are really, effects machines for listening to our music. They all sound different but capable of full range sound and higher fidelity than any guitar pedal of course but its still generally an effect we are listening to, with the way the recording is being processed by the hifi.

I mainly leave my guitar effects in the digital domain as its just sheer convenience. And pretty much from a crowded rooms perspective if I was playing live, the audience is none the wiser on how the sound is being created, but it's overall effect will be enjoyed just the same, and often hidden / blended into the music anyway.

Hehehe. I was 335 pounds 6 weeks ago and am 297 pounds today. I am being injected with Ozempic for weight loss every Thursday at a expense to me of ~$256 for each 4 weeks of treatment. I cut out all meat except fish, eat fruit and veggies a lot now and a ton of yogurt. Basically I was 185 pounds at 6 feet height till about 7 years ago and then I became too relaxed and sedentary and was eating too much cake, pie, meat, choco bars etc and I gained a lot of weight. But I have a 1 year plan and by this time next year I will be back to about 180-185 pounds and that will solve some medical issues with circulation in my lower legs and I'll feel a lot better.
 
Well done, I imagine you’ll feel much better and your joints will appreciate it.

This all kicked into high gear in recent months. I contacted a nasty virus that caused a nasal and upper lung issue. I was coughing steady non-stop for minutes at a time and had trouble breathing because the coughing was non-stop and if I moved at all or lay in bed the issue became worse. So for about 6 weeks I sat at my desk and slept in the chair at my desk too. So... The blood circulation in my legs was not occurring and the legs filled with blood and became very swollen and hurt like a lot. Felt like pins and needles all the time, reallly itchy too and felt like electricity electrocution was going through them 24 hours a day for weeks. My doctor was renovating the office and so I had a 2 week wait to see him and at 3 am one morning unable to sleep, in a lot of pain and wearing sandals 3 sizes larger than normal and still felt wayyy too tight I went to the emergency at the hospital. Anyway... end result is overweight, sitting too much, blood returning from the legs to the heart is not good flow and the legs pumped up with blood and became swollen. So I had to lay down to enable the blood flow and for my legs to drain and that took about another 6 weeks until I could walk normally, not grimace, wince and make pain noises when I walked and go shopping for more footwear because my foot size was increased. I vowed that I would lose weight so this never happens again and that's the objective now... Lose weight like 150 pounds or so.

:D Andre the Giant was only a slender 520 lbs. But theres always those Giant Haystacks out there, the British wrestler from the 70s. He got to a very slim 699lbs at his heaviest.

I have no choice. It is a matter of time when the "congestion" as the Dr referred to my blood circulation in and out of my legs occurs again and the legs swell up, feet get puffy and it hurts like a lot and I can barely walk. So weight loss is a essential must have thing.

Well done that man, bet you feel a helluva lot better physically and mentally, keep it up although don't beat yourself up if you hit a plateau or have a treat now and again, it'll pass and you'll reach your target.

I can sympathise with the feet/ankle/leg swelling up thing as I have similar due to my spms - bloody stupid looking and painful ain"t it?, my lower half doesn't really move of its own accord (left leg totally immobile, right leg very little movement) I suffer from Lymphedema and my feet/ankles/lower calfs can swell up bloody hellish and get really hot/inflamed especially in warm/hot weather so I spend most of my time attempting to elevate them on my recliner with cushions under them so the lymphatic fluid drains, bloody hard to do when I have no ability to lift legs up out the way to place cushions underneath and with weakening arm muscles it's getting harder n' harder to manoeuvre my dead/useless lower limbs.

Doesn't help that I spent all my life cycling so have well developed leg muscles that are permanently in spasm and go into clonus when I attempt to move.

Good luck,.

Ouch!!! What you described is absolutely and horribly a terrible condition to live with day in and day. I feel for you a lot. I had to go walking everyday after the respiratory virus had me in the chair for 6 weeks subsided when the legs where swelled up for 12 weeks and I was groaning, moaning, limping with both legs and people where wondering what the heck was wrong with me. I had to walk because I have arthritis in my hip joints and as long as I get some walking in everyday and get out of the chair from time to time they don't ache. So I had swollen legs, arthritis in my hips acting up and my breathing was really weak and I was wheezing all the time... LoL. I was a mess. I can really appreciate what you described and can feel your pain vividly. Geeech!...

Bought my last chair from a reseller. There were hundreds of different office chairs available in a large warehouse. Walked around for an hour, tried different models and chose one with only some minor signs of usage for 140 Euro. The manufacturer is located near where I lived some years ago and its products were also provided by my former employer. So I know they are durable in contrast to comparable priced products on amazon.
