I have no problems with the style but I do wish it didn't bulge out and instead stayed a true cylinder. Quote:

I have a weird tendency to collect small Bluetooth speakers from like the size of a thumb up to a Klipsch Three Heritage… my favourite one sound wise out of all the ones I have is a medium size Sony tube one. They don’t sell it anymore but the equivalents are probably these 2: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CXL5KTBD/...13NParams&th=1 https://www.amazon.ca/Sony-SRS-XE300...I_3M_AUTOMATED
I would highly recommend the Sony in your price range based on the 15 or so speakers I have.
I’ve also heard other peoples JBL’s and agree they offer good performance for the price too. I have on and off thought of getting a Marshall but wasn’t blown away trying them out in stores in years past. They could have updated their tech though, I stopped buying any after realizing I had a problem lol.
You could always buy like 3… JBL, Sony and Marshall and try them all out and return 2 if you can’t get into a store to try them out I guess!

Fuck so Amazon now has a 4am - 8am delivery window.. not sure if this is due to Canada post strike or Black Friday or what
So I ordered a few things last night and at 4am this morning my wife wakes up to someone running up out front steps she’s like wtf. Looks at the cameras and it’s a guy with bundles of packages in his arms at 4:15 lol

Bambu Labs is selective on who sells there machines. Good thing they have a warehouse in BC so shipments are really fast.

Just bought these. I didn’t really think or look how many 22 wrenches were. Super happy with the purchase when it arrived. Packed up my garage in storage l and didn’t pack any metric wrench to work on the Datsun.so got a new set. Great test results. https://www.amazon.ca/GearWrench-819...s%2C168&sr=8-3

Sure, for the more paranoid this could be easy pickens for those late night baddies roaming around the streets checking for unlocked doors but I'm generally not ordering anything pricey. For me I've been seeing this option for probably 2 months now

Looking for an electric pressure washer for around the yard. Don't need more than 2000 psi, but hoping for something with variable pressure settings. Any recommendations?

Speaking of JBL and soundbars https://ca.jbl.com/en_CA/BAR-1000-.html
47% off. Whether you buy direct or go to Best Buy, it's the same discount.

I got the snowjoe, problem is it blows forward and eventually you run out of space to blow it to. it can chew through a foot of powder with ease, 6in of slush, shoots it 8-10ft away.

holy shit, been trying to read mattress reviews and this is an even worse experience than trying to buy a car. I'm no closer to choosing a mattress to get than I was 6 hours ago.
