As someone who loves to be cool when they sleep I’ve thought of a portable a/c or even a bed jet let me know how it works and how many sq feet it cools.

i know it's big on the rogan podcast and tim ferris talks about it, but 1 person i know just bought the Eight Sleep bed chiller/warmer and he absolutely loves it. It's price is higher than giraffe pussy though.

I assume one for the spare on the back hatch.

If he has a Jeep, then it makes sense.

4Runner, but actually going in the existing spare compartment under the car.

The wheels are hard to get and going in larger than stock tires.

It's been over a month, but I finally got my Ford Maverick.  Swapped the ugly rims for some new black ones.

Is that the XL? How do you like it?

Yes, the XL.  It does NOT have cruise control.  I didn't know that until probably 2+ months after I ordered it.  It would have been a deal breaker for me, had I known.  I would have gone XLT.  I upgraded to EcoBoost because I wanted AWD.  I think my MSRP ended up being like $24,800.  I've put another $1600 in it, in rims and tonneau cover.

I love the truck, but I'm used to driving a F-150 super crew.  So it's a BIG change going to an EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine.  I'm getting 28-30 MPG, so I'll deal with it... lol

I like the color and wheel choice. I would have went with AT tires. But I know it’s tough to justify swapping brand new tires. 

There’s a yellow XL near my apartment. Overall I like them for a “city truck”, inside is very bare bones though.

Like the color on that truck.

Newest purchase for me was a friggin' new push mower. Seems like they're good for 2 years then the carburetor takes a dump.

No more "Shit the gas can is empty".

I bought one a few years back.  Neighbors on both sides of me that border my lawn have got one after seeing me out mowing.  Folds up nice too.  I am thinking about an electric snow blower next winter.

I didn't end up stopping because I had something I had to get done but will go either tonight or tomorrow at lunch. I'm getting one of the Ryobi models from Home Depot. My bro-in-law just bought the same one and liked it. His yard looked great after the first mow. My current gas mower is a hand-me-down POS that I've done no maintenance on since I got it.

Ryobi is what I have to.  I have the weed eater as well and like I said looking at the snow blower.  I have had no problems with mine.  Except one battery took a shit spring.

How long does the battery last in one of these.


My only reservation about electric mowers is the lack of torque.  Has that been a problem for your?
