Looking to purchase a NVIDIA shield TV Pro (2019) for $100

I have a camelbak in good shape but very old. I think the bladder is 10-13 years old. It smells a little bit like rubber, but otherwise isn’t leaking.

Am I crazy to use this?

I can’t find any mildew anywhere i dried it really well after last use as far as I can tell.

I did however buy it in my 20s and I’m 35 😅

Hey guys,

My wife and I have hit a couple of career milestones and I’ll be hitting my mid 30s this month. We want to celebrate and recharge a little bit in the coming months.

As a kid I went to a couple of all inclusives but I can’t remember much, only that it was fun.

My wife and I are looking to take 5-7 days away and not care about much.

We enjoy good food and good beverages and a nice view. We would like to go somewhere tropical. Usually we vacation in Kaui but our last 2 vacations were there so we want to mix it up.

We are public servants so we don’t make a ton of money but we do okay. I think 400 a night might be our cap with some flex.

Our son will likely stay with my folks so family friendly isn’t a must.

TIA

Hey folks.

We currently have a Tempur-pedic hybrid medium from Costco and I don’t really think I like it at this point.
I have a friend that I work with who swears by DIY mattresses and I know a bit about this myself but more about what hasn’t worked for us.
Data points:
5’9” 200Lbs muscular, back/side/stomach
5’7” 155Lbs, side sleeper, occasional back

-We had a Nectar mattress we liked, crapped out in 3-4 years. Honestly this was perfect for us but I was also in my mid 20s and nothing bothered me.
-Spindle Latex mattress for a year Soft/Med/Hard config, all Dunlop. Didn’t like, ultimately too hard I think (but this could be because it was solid)
-Novafoam comfort grande. Did not like, I think this was weirdly shaped, not supportive and had bad edges.
I THINK we want a Hybrid latex bed. I have a talalay pillow and I love the feel of it, thought of that as a comfort layer…or just getting a talalay topper for my current bed.

TLDR: At this point I have 3 spindle layers that are sitting in boxes… I’m debating returning the Tempur Pedic to Costco and getting some King Size Texas Pocket Coils, and then laying a spindle layer over the top.

Does that sound like it would be a comfortable DIY given our needs?

I recently got my hands on a 4070 Super which was a decent upgrade over my 6700xt, but more than decent for streaming.

I stream really often, right now I stream to a Nvidia Shield TV, it’s the 2017 Pro version. Caps at 4k/60 but doesn’t support AV1.

I’ve been reading Onn streaming boxes etc support AV1. Should I be looking for a different alternative to get into the AV1 space?
