I had no idea that this existed. And I have immediately ordered one for myself.
As stated:

Also a 1:64 model of the Deltawing as it raced at Le Man:

A refill on GFuel with a new shaker cup:

Also, during the NASCAR race at Kansas a couple of weeks ago, Parker Kligermans sponsor fast.co had a promotion where if you scanned the QR code on the hood of the car during the race broadcast, you could get a link to buy a hoodie for $1 with free shipping. Now I have a hoodie that says “fast”.

My desktop PC died a few weeks ago, so I've been trying to figure out the best way to turn our Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (which is shared by everyone at home, but only used occasionally) into a desktop machine when needed (i.e. for running Lightroom and managing my basic photography needs).

Out of a million possibilities and prices, I've turned to this:

Hopefully, plugging this into the USB-C socket will allow me to have:

  • An external monitor connected, via HDMI (up to 4K 60Hz);
  • A 3.5 in. external hard drive;
  • Wired internet connection;
  • SD and MicroSD card readers;
  • Some extra USB slots available, for BT / mouse & keyboard.

I say hopefully, because while a friend told me Anker products were good and that this will all work as expected, I'm still not sure about it.

I've been looking at the same product for my laptop as well. I need to increase my connectivity as all I have is: 1 x USB A 3.0, 2 x Thunderbolt 4.

Let us know how it goes!

I needed a headset for my Series S console and decided to purchase this, instead of the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. So far I am pleasantly surprised with the features and overall quality of this headset. I did not expect it to be this good, considering what they currently cost at Best Buy.

Started a new hobby this summer. Spent a few months practicing my painting and assembly with some unofficial products on Etsy, and now I'm ready for a proper project.

Starting with this big guy as a foundation.

Nothing to do with me having purchased anything, but this reminded me of something from my college days. I was in school at Auburn back when Bill Kazmaier was there and had his gym in town. I worked part-time at the local K-Mart. He came in and bought a 25" console TV set, which for the time was the biggest TV you could get. When asked where his truck was so we could load it up for him, he said, "Nah, I got it," and picked up the box under his arm and against his hip, like it was school books or something, and walked out with it!
 
It’s been more than a decade since I last played the card game. Are those giant cards even legal, or are they just for collecting?
Collecting purposes. I think they’re too big to even be placed. Personally IMO the oversized Pikachu and Zekrom GX Tag Team card is probably one of the nicest oversized cards I’ve collected so far.

I got an email from Columbia that they're having a Black Friday sale so I started looking through their jackets. I was on the hunt for a specific configuration that seems like it shouldn't be that difficult since I purchased exactly what I was looking for for my son 2 years ago - an Omni Heat 3-in-1 jacket with a softshell inner jacket. All of the Columbia's now are all either puffy or fleece inner jackets.

Ebay to the rescue. It was listed as worn once, is in perfect condition and instead of the +/-$150 I would have paid for new, it was $85.

Heard pretty good things about Hot Wheels. I don't have any other racing games for the Switch currently aside from Mario Kart. Looking forward to checking it out.

According to the tracking, they should both arrive by my birthday at latest. :D

I've had some Anker products and they've worked well. Hope it does what you need it to!

Received and tested the hub yesterday, and I'm happy to report that it worked really well! I've thrown everything I mentioned above at it (all at the same time) and it delivered. It's exactly what I needed.

Even the quality of the packaging was well above average and had small details that made it stand from all the other cheap stuff out there. Definitely exceeded my expectations.
