I’ve bought them off Amazon before, but they were junk quality. I’m not conveniently located for tracking down a vintage one.

I’m out of date on the best options out there — looking more for a text that will prepare students for further study, rather than an applied plug-and-play text.

Had them recommended by a friend, wondering if anyone else has used them.

I realize this is very much dependent on environment, but I basically never air-dry clothes (I have a wardrobe that’s 95% cotton/linen/hemp just because it’s easy to dry) — my place doesn’t have a lot of good places to hang things to dry, so I’m wondering whether I should be planning on hours, days, etc. (I generally keep it cool and ~50% humidity.). Sorry for the ambiguity, but I have zero prior experience with wool fleece.

I don’t often air dry (and I assume these can’t be tumble dried, even on low), so is it okay to hang dry? Or do they have to be laid flat? (I lack somewhere convenient to do that.)

Master and Commander, HMS Surprise, and The Mauritius Command aren’t available to purchase on any platform. Pray, shipmates, is anyone aware why?

I apparently bought this ~25 years ago and didn’t do anything but read the rulebook. Sprues intact, cardboard unpunched, etc. Only thing missing is the rulebook (and I think I know where that is). The eBay sold prices for this set are bonkers — around $500 USD. Is that actually what this is going for?

I dislike wearing a belt, but am losing weight. If I wanted to have the waist of a pair of jeans taken in by about an inch, how feasible is that? Is it major surgery? (In other words, if I have a perfectly good pair of $30 jeans, am I wasting time trying to have this done?)

It’s not on the Canadian site any longer.

I bought a new gaming chair, and then realized that it’s unusually low to the ground. I need to raise it by about 2 inches to be comfortable when sitting on it. I could obviously laminate some plywood or tongue and groove pine into a little base for it, I’m wondering if anybody might have a more elegant solution.

I’ve put some weight on lately — usually 220, but currently around 260. Anyone have any ideas on how to reinforce the frame of a Poang armchair? I’d like to be able to use it while I’m still in the process of dropping weight.

My laptop died inconveniently, and my budget is tight. I’m looking at a cheap HP Omnibook with a Ryzen 30, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD. What sort of user experience can I expect? My last laptop had 16/512 and an Intel 1315u.

I have a nylon (or some sort of synthetic) backpack that is quite filthy inside various compartments due to muddy gear being stuffed in it. I really don’t want to spend the next year scrubbing it out by hand — this isn’t an expensive bag, and I’ve washed it before without problems, but not when it’s quite this dirty. What’s the chances that I’ll be able to get it clean in my front-loader? And do I want a cycle with lots of water (I have an LG, so I use the towels cycle for this) or something like the heavy-duty cycle, which uses less water and aims for more friction?

Just received a replacement iPhone under the express replacement AppleCare plus program. I’m planning on selling it to upgrade, so I haven’t even turned it on once – my understanding is that the AppleCare subscription automatically gets transferred to the new iPhone. What do I need to do to make sure this phone is fully detached from my Apple account, the AppleCare plus, etc.? I tried talking to Apple support about this but they didn’t seem to understand what I was asking.

My printer is out of commission and I just need to print a shipping label — anywhere on the north side I can do this, or am I stuck going over to Staples?

I have an M2 Mac that I’m getting ready to sell, but after the erase process and activation, it saves my Wi-Fi password, which I obviously don’t want to do. How can I clear that? There doesn’t seem to be a way to do it from the initial set up interface.

My laptop died recently, and after seeing the current ludicrous prices for replacements, I’m planning on trying the whole iPad as a desktop replacement thing, using an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. My workload is primarily document work, email, and web browsing — what issues should I expect to run into? The biggest one I see coming up is the need for a better word processor than Pages (I don’t want to use O365 or Google Docs), but want to hear what other people have encountered.

I have a Rockhopper that’s a size too large. Tried selling or trading it but no luck. I’m thinking of scavenging the parts and putting them on a different frame. Any good options for cheap framesets? This is used for snow riding, not downhill, so I’d prefer rigid.

Picked up a cheap charger and cable from Walmart today and when I plugged it in, I got that prompt. Based on what I’ve read, that’s not uncommon with third party chargers? I often use a Belkin or Anker charger and have never seen it before. or is this possibly a security issue? I did hit ”don’t allow”, but was surprised to see this pop up.
