Planar magnetic headphones that start around $200 (monolith m1060) will do that

More expensive bourbon tends to be more interesting but not necessarily more pleasant to drink. In my case it quickly becomes too fancy for my taste buds around 2-3x the price of the cheapest one. Whiskey is a bit more complicated.

In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can’t hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.

I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.

One exception: I wouldn’t buy a noname filter claiming to e.g. be a hepa filter or having high MERV rating - I wouldn’t trust a brand that might not be around long enough to be penalized for false advertising

She’d lose battle of wits against a stuffed iguana. She’s essentially unarmed

I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I’m above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.

He nodded, took off his coat and that’s when I noticed a clerical collar.

The problem with that is it would be an aluminum radiator, so you’d get electrolytic corrosion with copper blocks / fittings (vast majority of the market) gunking the whole thing up fairly quickly

I’ve got a redneck engineering version of this that is arguably better: 4 480x120x45mm radiators mounted on a generic 20 inch box fan - even at the lowest fan speed it has no problem keeping 2 high end PCs (daisy chained) VERY cool and is almost completely silent. I’ve added a frame from $10 worth of aluminium flat from a hardware store and used metal screws to attach extended feet directly to the frame of the fan so it doesn’t fall over - I’ve only used a hacksaw blade and a drill to make it, I’ve lived in a condo at the time and that’s all I’ve had available.
