Start watching from 7:30

12:30 is the one scene from that video that is stuck in my mind to this day, and that's very cool.

i used honey a while back, none of the codes suggested or automatically applied worked or were applicable to the kinds of orders i made while using it. the same applied for about 90% of the merchants i visited and used the plugin on.
as a quick guess, this isn't honeys fault as it's rather because of the decline of public promo codes that aren't super restricted to specific orders, quantities, and countries.
 
I used to get Horrorpack which is a horror movie subscription service. It's OK if you are building a movie library or are interested in their monthly exclusives. I've gotten some genuinely good stuff I would have never thought to pick up before on it. Not too bad if you have $20 burning a hole in your pocket.

Two questions.
1. Are you a zoomer?
2. What the fuck does that shit taste like?
Okay theres a third question, I lied:
3. Does it... do anything? Like, does it enable you to perceive your CS match in bullet time?

1. No
2. Depends on the flavor. It tastes surprisingly good for a sugar free drink.
3. I'll drink it when I'm gaming sometimes, but I can't really notice a difference. I just like the drink itself.

Is it nice? Would you recommend it?

It is the biggest PCC I have ever held. It's ridiculously heavy for what it's meant for. But it has an integrated picatinny rail, takes Glock mags, has a load of aftermarket support, and isn't fussy about any ammunition. I've shot a lot of steel case and hollow points with zero issue
 
NordVPN: was decent, all I used it for was torrenting and they kinda started to suck towards the end of my three years.

Dollar Shave Club: was alright, but I switched to a proper safety razor and I'm still on the cheap 100 blades.

Bespoke post: it's decent, bought several things from them that I enjoy.
 
Paid Shilling:
- Dollar Shave Club: It was ok but my beard regrows at a staggering rate and I'm way too fucking lazy so I just use an electric razor. The 10 or so blades I received are basically a lifetime supply for me.
- iFixit "Pro Tech Toolkit": $70 for a whole bunch of bits, some basic prying tools and a cheap case to hold it together. It's ok but the bits are very cheaply made and soft. A total ripoff especially given shipping was nearly $40 to my shithole country. Basically got Linus'd on this one.

Unpaid Shilling:
- Fluke 17B: EEVBlog did a teardown on this ages ago and I bought a 17B+ afterwards. It's basically a Made in China version of a Fluke 87 for poor countries and works really well. Good purchase as it still works just fine and cost less than $100.
- Enmotus FuzeDrive 1.6TB Indiegogo: Level1Techs shilled this (I don't think they were paid to) and it's the only time I've ever backed an Indiegogo. The idea is there's a 100 GB SLC chip alongside the QLC flash and the firmware does some magic to use the SLC as a cache. The software kind of sucks but it actually does work and it's insanely fast.
- Austrian Audio Hi-X55: Dankpods did a little review on these a while ago behind the paywall and I picked them up afterwards. It definitely takes some time to get used to them but the detail is pretty amazing. My only complaint is the cushions are getting a little gross and the RRP on a replacement set is 59 EUR. Here's the review since I don't think he ever publicly released it:


There's probably some other shit I'm forgetting but I think the pattern is pretty clear: paid shills universally recommend garbage and deserve the Sponsorblock treatment.

This was your fault since amazon shipping should be free. well maybe not to your shithole country but it should've been $30 anyways.

i have a ifixit cell phone repair bits kit and ive used a few of them lightly for some small parts (glasses screws, unscrewing phone, general purpose screwdriver) and it works reasonably well. can't comment on the longevity for more use
I also used nordvpn and it works well enough for my only purpose which is avoiding ISP letters when torrenting music and movies. like I've said before, I don't expect it to really stop determined glowies who probably wouldn't be stopped by a simple VPN anyway
