What Are You Buying Right Now? (non-OT version)

Just went down the Muhle 41 rabbit hole.  Thank you @SGH for running submerged and undetected that then prompted the query.  At least it was not a new Q toy.

Big fan of the DE razors. Haven’t shaved my entire face in over a year, but they give you the best shave bottom line

If anyone here likes DESRs and has yet to try this one, the Rockwell 6S is a phenomenal razor. Entirely stainless steel and can be adjusted for closeness. Love the quality, weight and simplicity of design.

You mean your mandoline?

Subaru Forester wilderness. Commuter for wife. Long road trip /adventure for family. And yes we still have the murder van. 😀

for anybody that's interested .This is one of the most entertaining reviews of it. It's not super in-depth on information but good enough. https://youtu.be/stvz8u_i3Sk

I'm digging the wilderness editions from Subaru. Thinking about a wilderness outback when I pay off this current car.

Subarus are great, don’t own one yet—but will for my youngest in a couple years.

I’ve got a 2018 Outback 3.6R. We get long, harsh winters here featuring lots of ice and snow and the thing makes accelerating in slippery conditions a joke. Have parked in epic snowbanks with no difficulty in getting out. Beats out most sports cars and exotics in 0-60…. In the right conditions. 😎

There are two things about it I can’t stand (three if you count the CVT):
- the annoying tech - it’s always chirping at you or the Eyesight system is detecting an imminent collision that is not set to take place (e.g., if you accelerate while the car ahead of you is slowing to make a turn while it’s still within your line of sight); and
- the awkwardness of the oil filter location (particular to the H6 engine; not relevant to current models) - it’s like no other oil change I’ve ever performed. The angle is extremely awkward and as a result, it’s easy to misalign, causing oil leaks. A common complaint online when you read up. That being said, I wanted the H6 and don’t regret it.

Four if you count the quirks with window controls after changing battery?

@GlennM or @kl8ton do the broilers need a roost? Also can I let them wander and co mingle free range with my layers?

No roost. I did not let them mingle. My hens were mean to other animals.

Didn’t get the giant built in one like I wanted. Bought the counter depth French door model in all stainless. $1500 upgrade for brass handles, no thank you

Thanks @kl8ton.

 I'm so glad my kitchen no longer requires a counter depth fridge to no look weird. It was rough dealing with a fridge so small. You pay more for less

It looks identical to Aldi's Belavi. 


I thought I read somewhere that they were made by the same manufacture. I've read positive reviews with the Aldi version when people were picking them up on clearance. Nice grab!

No, they are to heavy to fly, just nice dry bedding so they stay clean.  If they wander they will grow a bit slower and of course you need to think about predators. Sometime the layers can fight as well. If it was my choice I would just keep them in the coop
