LOL, S. You have a point, as always. The problem is that the "big ones" (Nike, Adidas) whose products I prefer to buy employ this (some kind of nylon) material which has a lot of disadvantages, despite the fancy names like "ClimaCool" etc.
The t-shirts in question were bought solely for the Championship as my younger son who is a Spanish major will be home tonight to follow together our favourite "La Roja" from 10 June.

Helinox Sunset folding camping chair, folds really small to pack into a rucksack and takes upto 145kg weight
I ended up finding this AC Infnity 80mm USB fan on Amazon for use with cooling the Roku 4. I just set it up a few minutes ago, though I had thought the Roku had a USB port on it, it doesn't. So I plugged it into the Mac Mini on the other side of the credenza. It even has an on/off switch with different fan speed settings which is nice. It also has rubber feet on it so it can stand freely on its own. No wiring or soldering needed on my part.

Yep very nice.Very nice! I like that it has different speeds. Plus, the price is very decent
I also bought another one of the little USB desk fans, like you have, and will use it at work. I like it a lot since its quiet and variable speed.
Also in today's order I bought this little AmazonBasics portable bluetooth speaker for use around the apartment. Its for when I don't want big sound coming from my Polk Audio system, and when I don't want the TV on just to play music. This way I can pair to the MBP, iPad or iPhone and bring it to any room I want it in. So far it seems to be working well right out of the box.

Looks really nice. I hope it sounds good. A while back I bought an Anker Soundcore which I love. It's definitely not for bass heads, but it more than makes up for it in clarity, at least for my taste. Plus it gets about 24 hours on a charge. I'm really happy you like the Artic Freeze variable speed USB fan. I use mine every night next to my bed. It moves enough air on the lowest speed to make me comfortable. Plus it's silent at that speed.

I looked at a similar speaker by Anker and decided on the AmazonBasics one because it had better reviews and there was some other feature it had ( I can't recall now ) and the price was basically the same. I took a chance, what the heck!Looks really nice. I hope it sounds good. A while back I bought an Anker Soundcore which I love.

$550 on a coat? Maybe I just like to invest my money in other things. My Levi's are $38, shoes were $50 and are comfortable, and my $99 peacoat keeps me just as warm as I'm sure a $550 peacoat does.

But, I was trying to be negative, I'm all for people spending their money on whatever they want.
Didn't mean to offend, was a bit tired. If you like it, that's all that matters. Enjoy it!
I wasn't offended, just confused as to how one mention of the price = bragging. I don't introduce myself to people by telling them how much my clothes costs every time.
More power to you, I don't buy designer everything either. But, I save my money so every now and them, I can spend on it things that I want.
I know how to live within my means, I mean you don't see me posting in this thread often so I really don't buy clothes often, let alone designer clothes.
Let's just drop it.
60W MagSafe. Found on clearance at Target for $23.
Today I found an LG 34" Ultrawide 1440p Open Box at Fry's to go along with the new Mac Pro.
This screen and aspect ratio is growing on me.

It was listed at $769 used on Amazon with $18 shipping or $791 Prime shipped. I paid $711.54.
And I'm not sure if they all are now shipping with the VESA adapter but mine had it in the box where as I've seen others say they had to order it seperately for around $25.
Also this is a Thunderbolt2 model with 2 Thunderbolt ports and USB3 ports.
It's a beautiful monitor and I added a different angle to show the very slight curve of the monitor.

Nice bike, i gotta buy one myself, sold my last one to my nephew, regretting it now
I'm sending that Bluetooth speaker back today. While it sounds nice and is well built, the BT range is terrible. I moved it about 15 feet away from the laptop, in the same room and within line-of-sight with no obstructions between them and the signal craps out.Looks really nice. I hope it sounds good.

I'm going to get one of the Anker's like you have next time.
Very NICE

Found a decent deal on a JBL Flip 2 refurb to try out with the Echo Dot

The Anker is supposed to have a 66' range. If I walk out of my bedroom into the hall, which is about 20', it disconnects. I think it has to do with interference from nearby electronics, or the construction of your house. So think about sending yours back. The Anker may not be any better.
Edit: I'm basing this on the connection to my 2014 Mac Mini which is around other electronics. In the past, I've had random disconnects with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard from 15' away. This is why I now use a regular wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse which never gives me problems.

No, it was within line of sight in the same room and crapped out. I've already dropped it off at UPS for a return.
