Way behind on this but we finally got a robot vac. We got a "dumb" one that just goes wherever until it bumps in to crap. It works surprisingly good. We got the Anker one that was like $200. Would def recommend if you have a pet. Also, fired up the sauna for the first time since spring and it was amaze.

We spent a lot of money on an iRobot Roomba and it's rough ridin' awful. Gets stuck in inexplicable places, hardly ever finds it's base, no discernable reasoning to where it goes, spend a ton of time in low traffic areas. I hate it and I want to replace it but I now think they are all terrible, and not intuitive, so I don't want to waste my time or money on another one.

That is why I didn't spend $500 on a fancy one. I got the Eufy one that is made by Anker. It was like $150 and does some of those things that you described above but for $150 its turned out to be worth it. Currently banging around upstairs right now.

Roborock is where it's at despite it's enraging name.

Hadn't heard of this, looks great

they've expanded the lineup a lot since I got the S5 max but the UI and mapping is far superior to the others I've tried or seen friends get (Neato - another enraging name, iRobot)

This was our experience as well. Since moving to a different house, it has fared much better. I only use it for our hard floors in the main areas and this has made things better. I still cuss that stupid thing so much

I bought a new professional ninja food processor thing and it's awesome. It came with the normal big container and a another dough mixer wide body bowl thing. It also came with 2 single serve shake size containers that I've been making the crap out of doing smoothies in the morning. It's just a monster and blends everything with ease.

6-Pack of Hamm's tall boys for $3.99 at my local grocer.  Even more crisp and refreshing than your more popular american style lagers and at half the price.  Will buy again.

Way better than that new one called outlaw. (cool name for a beer though, so might buy again for street cred)

They have a frightening attachment that looks like this, and whatever it's for hasn't come up on the app yet.

how do we feel about PBR? Highlife is my go to dive bar beer, but PBR is a pretty close second.

Take it to the beer thread!

But it's High Life and Hamms at 1a and 1b.  PBR is like 12.

When I was kid growing up in whitetrashvile, the local convenience store had that adorable bear painted on the outside right by the entrance. I loved that bear.

I bought my wife a pair of oofos probably 8 years ago.  She's a runner, she's never worn another pair of slides/sandals ever.

I can't stand PBR, just some syrup and carbonation. Natty light with more corn and hops.

For dive bar beers its either Busch Light (nationwide) or Rolling Rock/some random regional beer like Hamms/Rainer/Yuenling etc.

Talked to a business acquaintance the other day and since he was working out of Washington I had asked him about Rainer beer.  I told him when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in the seventies the most popular beer was Rainer.  He was a gen x and knew about Rainer's history and told me they had gone under in the early '90s.  He agreed Rainer was very tasty and popular in the '70s and '80s, but for some reason, ppl quit drinking it by the '90s.  He did say they started up again and are gaining popularity.  It was my favorite beer back then and would love to get a case if any place carried it.  Plz. let me know if any place around Topeka, Manhatten, Lawrence, or the KC area carries it.

Lol at “gaining popularity.” It is the standard here, and has been for a long time.

Longmire drank Rainer beer.  I also just bootlegged a case of it back from Wyoming for a friend in KC.

I take it that it's not available anywhere around here.  Trim, is this your favorite beer?  It was mine back then.
