    You know what’s even more ridiculous price wise than living room furniture, outdoor furniture(at least for what’s it is)

    A place around here sells Ipe furniture which is sort of like Teak wood in that it’s dense and weather resistant. They were advertising a 60% off Memorial Day sale by appointment only. When I emailed they responded back with the price of the pieces and i promptly thanked them for their time and told them to enjoy their holiday.

    We’ve got a couple Adirondacks like that. They are expensive but have held up remarkably and I don’t cover them or anything in Chicago winters. I’ve been happy.

    Haha we found a loveseat, 2 chairs, and a table set for 300 bucks off and got it for 500ish. Had it set up for 2 hours before my wife said we had to buy covers for it for another 100 bucks or take the cushions off each time there is a chance of rain.

    I mean I get it, but who makes outdoor furniture cushions that shouldn’t get wet? Seems like that should be a primary feature. We now have coverings.

    we went and did tons of couch shopping when we moved this last time, didn't love anything

    bought the same ashley couch we had prior, it's mostly shit and will only get you 3-5 years of decent use

    but man its a steal of a price. we also have no idea where we'll be in 3-5 years so didn't want to dump too much cash.

    I bought a nice sectional off of Facebook market once for what I think was a really good deal. Year later, still very happy with it. If you’re patient can find nice used furniture for cheap.

    Don’t know if you guys have an Arhaus: The Loft location by you, but you can get really good quality stuff for a fraction of their insane prices. Some is discontinued, some is scratch and dent, and it’s mostly individual pieces, it’s not super easy to find sets. But we got our “$5,000” kitchen table for $600 and a “$4,500“ couch that had a big long marker line on the back of it for $650. Might be off on the final costs $50 or so, but the actual quality of the furniture is outstanding. It’s stuff we intend to have for years, if not decades like the kitchen table. That couch with the mark will never have that side exposed, as it only goes against the wall.

    I can see what I perceive as blue. It’s just impossible for me to know what blue looks like for someone with normal color vision, because you know color blindness.

    Looking for a solid flash light that also can be worn in the head for early morning fishing preferable rechargeable.

    I use a headlamp similar to what Nandor the Relentless posted for deer hunting and they're great. The battery lasts a very long time, they are very bright. I have 3 of them now for people to borrow, and they've all been in that $15-$20 range.

    When you own the business it's kinda the same. But yah I saw some $300 headsets idk about all that. What is a reasonable rate? I saw that Jabra makes some compatible with my polycom phone

    If you’re using it all day, want the battery to last and decent noise cancellation it’s worth it. The other thing is you literally could not buy a headset when this COVID shit started so the prices will remain on the higher side. I’d trust either manufacturer, both have great Cust service as well. Just decide if you want in ear, over the head, one ear, two, etc.
