I saw in another post that Collar and Cuffs London makes good umbrellas. I want to pull the trigger on their 24 rib umbrellas. I would like to know if their red and burgundy umbrellas let a little light through in the sun? So the person holding this umbrella to protect from UV will get some red light glow effect under the umbrella? Thanks!

I'm based in norway, so savotta is something I would consider, I would estimate my budget to be upwarda of 300 euros.

So ive had a samsung 55mu800d since 2017 and i love it probably my favorite tv ive ever owned but wanted to upgrade so i shelled out the money and bought a LG c4 oled 55 but had to return it after 2 days because it gave me the worst eye strain and migraines. Some people said it might be the pulse width modulation but i don’t know for sure. Anyways has anyone else had this issue? Im scared to try a different tv incase i have the same issue. I’ve never had eye strain or migraine problems from any tv in my life until the Lg oled. Any help would really be appreciated i think im going to stay with samsung but not sure what model go with. Also I’ve been using my old tv the past week and had no issues whatsoever once i stopped watching the oled so its not an eye issue like some have mentioned.

I'm looking for a winter coat that will keep me warm and look good, and im aiming for trench coats. But it's incredibly hard to find woolen ones (due to skin condition I avoid synthetic materials) and it's even harder to judge whether it will actually be worth it's price.

Any recommendations? :)

Basically it’s gonna be set down like a plate (lights facing up), and would like to be the size of your average dinner plate

Used for displaying items ranging up to 4-8 inches in height and 2-5 inches in width and length, and can be changed colors whenever from a phone naturally

Budget 60 dollars or lower (if it’s REALLY GOOD then 100$)

Hello! I am looking for some classic loafers for women that will stand the test of time. The issue that I’ve encountered is that most loafers for women do not have the space for my toes. I’d say I have normally sized and shaped feet for women, that just how women’s shoes are designed, though. For more specifics, I live in the USA, am a size 7-7.5 in US womens, and am looking for (probably) penny loafers. I do not like the look of horse bit loafers, but I’m willing to take a look at any other styles. Thanks in advance!

My nutribullet started to produce a burning smell while in use.

A quick google search pulled up a video that showed the cause and a quick breakdown.

A quick amazon search and $5 usd later and I had the parts I need on order.

I’m no tech guru, just basic tools. Repair is always worth a try, don’t be afraid.

I live in a neighborhood where cars drive too fast at night and I need to walk my (black) dog. I've purchased a variety of stuff, some of it pretty well made and long-ish lasting but other items get duller over time or straight up break. For example, I'm pretty sure this tag on her collar doesn't reflect much at all anymore. Less interested in LED stuff, I just feel like anything with electronics in it is likely susceptible to breaking if it gets wet, but if I'm wrong let me know. Looking for truly egregiously bright and reflective dog and human gear, especially stuff light enough to be wore in any weather, but (since it mostly is only dark for our walks when it's cold) jackets, etc OK.

i’m in the market for a decent pair of platform black chelsea boots. i found this pair i really like but the reviews said the brand is garbage. can anyone recommend a decent brand if i want something that looks like this?

Everything I'm seeing says that most ear plugs only cancel certain types of noises at certain decibel levels.

I need to cancel everything. Most of the stuff they make isn't strong enough to handle what I'm dealing with. I need to block everything out.

What is the most effective out there? Preferably plugs, but if I have to get something that goes over the years, I'll do that. What about those giant things that people wear on airport runways? How much do they block out?

edit: if i do inner and outer protection together, are there over-ear earmuffs that are comfortable enough to possibly sleep with?

Hi all, I am looking to get the Lenox ashbridge 80 piece set but am having a tough time finding reviews on it. I am limited with brands as I am getting it through work with points. Does anyone have this set or brand for flatware that can share feedback on quality?

My dad has a nice, small, leather nail maintenance kit. It was old when I was a kid 50 years ago. It has stainless steel clippers and other small tools. All the nail clippers and sets I see are cheap mass produced stuff. Does anyone make a solid kit like this in a leather case?

I’ve always found wrist watches to be uncomfortable, no matter the case/band material, and the cheap Ali express watch I’d been using until recently has stopped working.

I don’t carry a phone, so it’s pretty important to my day to day life. Any recommendations for pocket watches under $250? Please nothing vintage. Retail/modern only, and it should be able to handle rough use.

What is your opinion on this soap dispenser?

Is it work the $70(CAD) From their website?

Hi guys! My friend Michelle and I were frustrated by the high cost of our favorite brands online and hated sifting through hundreds of resale sites comparing products

so for our cs class we created a product assistant called Encore for that links the best second-hand and cheaper alternatives for your favorite items and allows you to search in different countries 🍃

If you are interested in trying it out - https://trysecondhand.com/ (currently route to our encore site)

type what you're looking for, chat with it, and it searches through hundreds of resale/secondhand sites (like Grailed, Thredup, Vinted, Depop, local Auction Sites, etc.). You can ask questions/get "more like this" item/get advice/send followups/find unique hidden gems faster, and from different countries. It’s kind of like ChatGPT/perplexity for online shopping

we respond pretty quickly, so I'd love any extra advice or feedback, thanks! :)

as title, looking for something with quality for my low back problems TY

p.s. i live in South Italy

Are they comfortable? Do they last? They're $200cdn

My ExOfficios are finally wearing out after over a decade of use. I'm researching new stuff, and Duluth seams to be the closest I can buy from what seems to not be an about-to-fail company (RIP).

I'm intrigued by the ballpark pouch on SAXX underwear, but literally all underwear blogs/videos/Reddit posts are ENTIRELY about boxer briefs. I get it, they're the go-to for most, but I want a loose fit around my legs, all 8,000 pairs of boxer briefs I've tried ride/hug my legs.

Can anyone speak to their experience with the boxers and specifically the pouch? I feel like I'll either absolutely love it or hate it, and I don't want to buy a ~$30 pair just to learn they're not for me...

Greetings and salutations!

I need to find a reliable egg pan! I cook my family eggs a whole lot, and while I love my current ceramic pan the handle is not riveted in. I can tell this thing is going to fail within 6 months, but it came in a set of 3 non-stick ceramic pans so we got our money's worth from it.

I would prefer a carbon-steel pan, if thats possible because I know they last a while, but I don't know where to look or who is reliable. That said I am open to pretty much anything that I can get at least 2 years out of. I'm not afraid of high prices if its worth it!

All suggestions are welcome! I really appreciate it!

Hej
I got my hand on this oilskin jacket, it is a brand called Mountain Horse, and it looks like it was been taken care of for a while. But I think it is a BIFL kind of jacket if it can be fixed

The leather is really stiff and has a heavy leathery smell to it. I have other jackets but don't have smell like that.

So my question is

1. How can i clean it without ruining it? Dry cleaner said he wouldn't do it cause it would harm it
2. How to soften the leather afterwards?

Something that can fit like a couple cups of rice

Doesnt have the bottom getting scraped like teflon.

Water not overflowing out of the cooker

Convenient and digital, stylish ~maybe

Okay so I am trying to find the best Google home related light bulbs that won't disconnect from their home everytime the power goes out. The have the cync by ge ones right now and they disconnect constantly and are a BITCH to reconnect they are for a pair of 82 year olds so they need to be able to be voice commanded. If anyone has any advice please let a granddaughter know 🤣

I had been using a Seiko for the past 7/8 years and it stopped working. I had it looked at but they couldn’t fix it, so here I am.

I’m looking for something with a clean, minimalist look. I want something mechanical. Hand wound is more my thing but automatic is also fine if the hand wound isn’t an option (absolutely nothing that needs batteries, though). Leather straps because I have sensitive skin.

Time and date/day is all I need. No ugly chronographs, please.

Budget is $500 or lower. Should be serviceable at home with a bit of research.

I looked on Amazon but it's a lot of weird sellers and some look cheap. I loved these originally so hoping for same quality. Also any advice on removing and replacing the cushions. Thank you!

Hi. I want to purchase a few victorinox knives to replace the 3 that i accumulated over the past decade. They all came highly rated but hugely disappointed. I see victorinox knives recommended here, and so i’m gonna try them.

I went on amazon (i’m in the US) and there are so many options. Which one do you recommend? I’m willing yo buy up to 5 different ones until i find the right one (dont get me wrong, i want to buy as few as possible. However i know this may take trial and error). So, please tell me which ones i should try first.

Also, is amazon US the right place to buy these, or is there a better source? Their store website?

Thanks

Edit: kitchen knife! Sorry for the omission! What’s a paring knife? Maybe that too…

Hey all, I work on a production line as a plant technician. So I’m on the floor 12-13 hours a day doing manufacturing. In and out of machines, climbing and crawling trying to get to problem areas. Lots of walking, etc. I’m trying to find pants that are BFL. I’ve looked at the 1620 Double Knee Utilities and possibly some Truewerk?

I'm looking to buy a puffer jacket for the Canadian winters. Right now, I have a Decathlon parka, and while it keeps me warm, I really don’t like how bulky it is. So, I’m hoping to find something lighter that can still keep me warm in -20°C and handle the snow.

A good warranty would be a bonus too. I’ve looked at a few different brands, but I’m not sure which one to go for. Any recommendations?
