Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

Wow, marketing did a really good job on you :rolleyes:

I tried this water once (also others like the black one, don't remember the name) and i found it disgusting. But i think that's personal preferences, so if you are happy with it and have the money: cheers =)

How do you find water disgusting?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Johnny makes no special effort to find water disgusting. I'll bet he doesn't have a scheduled 20 minutes of effort each day required to find water 3 disgustons (units of disgust).

I don't find water disgusting in general, i just don't like the taste of every water available. Some products (like this fidji water) have a taste i just can't stand, i think it has sth to do with the composition of minerals it has in it. While my local tap water and most of the other brands avaliable are completely fine for me, some sorts are just not my cup of tea (haha).

I mean it is the same with beer: You just don't like every single brewery out there (unless you just try to get hammered)

Like i said: If you like that expensive water, enjoy it! But all that stuff with pollution, human hands and ph ist just plain marketing BS.
 
New shoes

To stay on track: purchased these shoes for work, i know they are a little vibrant but i guess working as a doctor in a children's hospital i can take the risk. Kids will love them anyway ;) And our scrubs are blue as well, so perfect match

While you can share your point of view and prefer the taste of anything you want, you can not say that the tap water is of better quality. Several studies have proven otherwise. Never mind, back on topic :D

Please re-read my posts: I never wrote something about QUALITY, just about TASTE!
But kudos that you respect a different opinion (unlike other people on the web ;))

Compared to other water, it tastes softer and smoother, and at times a little sour (don't know if that's the right word to describe it, though, but of all the bottled waters, it's the one that comes closest to human's PH level, which is about 7,5). Just buy one and try it for yourself. It is supposed to be the best water in the world right now, since Fiji is one of the only water sources uncontaminated by world pollution and no human hands are allowed to touch the water. It's just like it's taken from the source, until you unscrew the cap.

are you for real? are you trolling for fiji's marketing department?

Very nice. New or used? And what actual camera do you use it with? Well wear, in any case.

Lightly used. I have an MP and M6ttl LHSA special edition, both black paint on brass film bodies. And trix 99% of the time!
 
This picture doesn't do it justice as it is far better looking than this. Sounds great too. Just wish I was better at it.

Three birds with one metaphorical stone :
1. Gigabit Ethernet
2. More USB 3 ports
3. Frees up a Thunderbolt port for an external monitor

It's also PnP under BootCamp - TB Ethernet isn't hot pluggable under Windows.

I see the brand http://www.anker.co but what's the product?

How is that Thunderbolt port freed?

I also have the Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, and the Firewire one as well.

I was using an external DP monitor, Firewire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet at the same time with my 2011 MBP. The replacement retina doesn't have enough ports for that as Apple cluelessly stripped out the FW800 and Ethernet ports in the pursuit of "thinness". Three Thunderbolt devices into two ports won't go.

Now I get it – thanks.

(Although I had to search to remind myself what DP was!)
