You’re probably missing out on a lot of catcalls. 

Hysterical crazy cat lady screaming at you, I'm your wingman

Do you just assume women are screaming at you?

the last time was a single cat lady neighbor with one of her cats 50 foot up a tree and my dog running around all happy. her hands were on her hips, she was jumping up and down, and silence. so im not really sure......i guess ill never know

the second time she just went across the street from me to borrow a ladder, cat was down before she got back. i told her i climbed up the tree......she did the same thing. like watching a mime

These days the only **** I chase is the variety that climbs trees.

I've been jonesing for a wireless thermometer for a couple years now.  So many temp controllers/trackers I've purchased since getting my Eggs in ~2011 have either not worked or died within a couple years.  ThermoWorks had been kinda late to the wireless game, until their RFX series came out recently.  Things I liked about their new system:
 
- Their probes had five spaced thermocouples along the length of their probes, individually monitored,
- Their probes were quite thin compared to their competitors,
- My ThermoWorks gear is the only stuff that hasn't crapped out on me, they build quality stuff.
 
But lately I've been seeing posts about this new "Typhur" system, mostly positive reviews; things I like about this system:
 
- Their probes have five spaced thermocouples along their probes, individually monitored,
- Their probes store/charge directly in the receiver unit,
- (the big one:) The base unit has its own display, and doesn't require a smartphone to control it.
 
I watched a few ewetubes comparing these and a few other remote thermo's.  Highest praises for the above two units, and requiring the use of a smartphone by the ThermoWorks was a hit against it for me (I've had bad luck connecting simpler IoT gear to my WIFI, for years).  Then, after comparing the best Black Friday prices for both, I sprang for the Typhur, at less than half the price of the RFX.  The Man In The Brown Shorts™ delivered it this afternoon.  
 
Oh, and after plugging it in with a 5V/USB-C line I had open, and not seeing any lights, I grabbed the included cable (no charger) which also had a USB-C plug, and it works; dammit, I thought all USB-C connectors should be compatible, at least for charging.  F me.

Restock from the good people at St. John Spice Company (www.stjohnspice.com). I’ve been buying from them for the better part of 20 years.

Trust us.  If you do. It have a chamber sealer already, then get it.  Use the off brand Armour bags.

I found a comparable model, the Avid Armor USV20 that is on sale for the same price as the Annova. It seems to have more adjustment to the vac and seal settings. 

I’m just tired of the food saver sucking the liquid out of everything and getting it above the seal.

I just bagged 5 bags of turkey soup with the Vacmaster VP215. I love it, the only drawback I have is that it's in my pantry, so sometimes when I am cleaning up I vacuum seal things and walk off before they are done... and find them on the sealer in the morning.

alaskanassasin

The Jura is also in the pantry ^^

Don't know what price you see, I just got an email from Anova, their chamber sealer is on sale for CAD299.99 with free shipping. Damn, I paid CAD1K for my Vacmaster VP215 in the summer of 2014!

Edit: @GrateEggspectations @paqman what are you wait for, next Christmas? Get one and thank me later.

DoubleEgger

Thanks for the info. Still on the fence about buying one. Space is the main issue as I’ll be keeping my Food Saver for larger items.

No space issue when you're empty nesters living in a four-bedroom storage unit  Still have my two Foodsavers, great for occasionl larger items and making custom sized smaller bags. Instead of buying bags of assorted sizes I buy just a box of 1000 bags of the largest size my vp215 can handle and cut them up into 1/2's 1/4's 1/3's 2/3's

@Canugghead I hate you! 😂🤣

I definitely have nowhere to store this, yet I’ve been staring at it for an hour trying to convince myself that I don’t need it. 🤷‍♂️

Wife tried in an 6 carat emerald cut ring in Harry Winston.  She really liked it, for $697k you gotta love it though 😂😂😂

One of many things I do, you can also infuse different fruits with you favourite booze and tell your swmbo you're just having healthy snacks  Bags cost pennies, or free.

I feel like you need the (flour) dust to settle before your next kitchen gadget purchase. 😅

As forum members, we never discourage purchases; we only egg them on (Pun intended).

@alaskanassasin and @billt01 - hope you didn’t get caught up in this

I still have some DOGE and SHIB but I hitched my wagon to BTC.  It is play money more or less, not staking my retirement on it.
