Have a drink, master troll
Or that 90s paper cup.
sorry it's half gone... i meant to take a pic before starting. so the recipe:
***
cinnamon minute muffin, my way:
melt butter in microwave for one minute. you can use a coffee mug. i use a generic brand of this.
while melting the butter, i gather my other ingredients.
once the butter is melted, i add the flax first. it will swell and soften slightly from the heat. (i think this is a trick to a good minute muffin.) then put the baking powder and cinnamon on top of that.
next, add the cream (yes, i weigh it) and then the egg. finally, add the ez sweetz.
now stir, making sure to get into the corners and scraping the sides.
now into the microwave. 90 seconds in my 1200 watt microwave is perfect. 60 seconds can come out a little gooey; 120 seconds, a little dry. you'll have to play with your microwave.
***
the icing:
while your muffin is in the nuke box, grab the bowl you will be eating from and weigh your cream cheese and heavy cream into it. now add the ez sweetz and stir like hell. (if your cream cheese is particularly firm, 10 seconds in the microwave will straighten that out, but you'll have to wait for your muffin to be done.) it will look a little runny at first but it will thicken.
now move the icing to one side of the bowl with you stirring spoon and dump your muffin in. it should slide right out... i am yet to have one stick as long as i start with the butter. then spoon your icing over top and enjoy!
the stats:
*
totals:**
If using Splenda instead of ez sweetz, add ~4.5g of carbs to the total. I also usually count eggs as having 0 carbs, but it is actually ~.4g. Count it if you want, i just want everyone to feel fully informed. (As eggs are an agricultural product, nutrient macros vary from egg to egg. They actually range from .2g to .6g of carbs per large egg. That's why i do not count them... low enough to not matter.)
***
also note that i, personally, am not a big fan of cream cheese. my wife gave me this idea so i tried it and she nailed it. normally, my icing would be equal part whole milk and confectioners sugar.
once again, i am in heaven... and i still have half to eat.
edited to add alternative measurements so those without a food scale can enjoy as well.
This appears to be identical to many products on alibaba, including this one: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Usb-Lithium-Polymer-Batteries-Rechargeable-Micro_62068065749.html
In fact, you can buy these on Amazon, for less money, with free next-day shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Batteries-Quick-Charge-Integrated-Protection/dp/B07F27PK2M
This kind of shit should be banned. Even in the most generous interpretation possible, this is a group buy not a kickstarter.
You forgot one

Runs are the duct work that moves the warm/cool air from your HVAC to your rooms.
You don't need to buy anything expensive for outlets. Buy a small roll of fiberglass insulation and some gloves. Remove outlet covers stuff a bit of insulation in the space outside the box. Don't pack it, it is supposed to be loose. Replace cover. This is only an issue on exterior walls and usually if they need to be insulated the entire wall needs to be.
Get a free energy audit from your power company. Usually you get some free CFL/LED bulbs, a low flow showerhead, water heater blanket, and faucet aerators for free.
If you don't have water efficient toilets fill a liter bottle with water and put it in the tank.
Caulk around your windows.
Use plastic sheets on windows.
If you live in a warm area put heat reflecting window film on your southern windows.
Turn water heater down to 140F (no lower or it could culture Legionella bacteria)
If your water heater is over 15 years old, look at replacing soon. They like to die catastrophically when you are least prepared.
Go into your attic with a flashlight after a heavy rain. Look for damp wood or rot. If you find any, you need to have roof repair/replacement. It's expensive but costs a lot less than all the fixes you'll have to do from water damage.
Make sure your gutters have downspouts that lead water away from your foundation.
Replace any frequently used lights with LED.
Get a nice sink strainer to prevent clogging in the kitchen sink.
Do not pour grease down the drain.
Do not flush anything other than toilet paper. No pads, tampons, or their wrapping, condoms, "flushable wipes", paper towels, etc. Shit, Piss, and TP only.
Disconnect the dryer vent and clean it all out. If it's plastic or thin foil, replace it with metal.
Assuming that is solid metal and one color all the way through, I would try something made for polishing metal. Looks like brass but I can't tell for sure from that photo.

Yeah, you can also get a cone artist on amazon for $6, which is a cone maker and filler :)

I regularly cook food for myself and my wife to take with us to work.
I use 2 cup containers by Ziploc. They're water tight so I can put anything in there without worrying about spilling.
As for meal ideas, over the past several weeks, I've made the following for both of us to eat:
The point is, if you can microwave leftovers, you can put it in these 2 cup containers and microwave your left overs.
I make casseroles and freeze sections of them. My wife would take those with her for lunch, but I cautioned against doing that, mostly because it can be a LOT of food and far too many calories.
Typically, when packing my meals, I try to eat every few hours. I start with cereal, eat an apple, a granola bar, another apple and my hot lunch. It works pretty well for me.
They have a liquid version!! Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser Premixed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B28ZYPU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_woKgDbDZTJYG3
I bought one of these kits and cleaned my dryer vents myself. the amount of lint I got out was amazing. enough to fill a tall kitchen trash bag.
All you need is something like this https://www.amazon.com/Gardus-RLE202-LintEater-10-Piece-Cleaning/dp/B0014CN8Y8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504584607&sr=8-1&keywords=linteater
I have one for 14' of vent, works great.
Sanyo Eneloops are a much better bargain. Amazon
A few bovida packs to control the humidity:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077KVC1VY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3R24CbMC6041A
And any airtight tupperware container. Even one from the kitchen will do the trick. I like these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00284AG5U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tFGGBbEKPFVT7
For long term storage you may want a hygrometer to monitor the humidity:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JXOKQVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lIGGBbM73ZESW
And if you want to get fancy and organize with cedar trays, two of these work perfectly stacked in the container above.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0733TYGWX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SffLBbPJZC8XN
Then store it in a cool part of your house.
A tupperware container of some kind (I prefer lock n lock) and a 65 rh boveda

This cutter will make your life much easier, trust me. Also, watch this for some basics on cutting and lighting.
I use Bar Keeper's Friend and it works well for me.
Either this or this and use with these. I prefer the liquid... good on ALL pans regardless of finish. (I use it on my semi-high end set with no problems... makes them look like new).

Stock up, this is a good price.
Full Album
This is my biggest haul yet. I’ve spent the last few months working my way through lots of singles. I still have some more I want to try(hence more singles in the haul) but I did find some that I could be happy smoking every day until the end of time. Oh, and the Mayans MC show just started and I’m stoked to start watching.
In the bottom left of the picture are a few cigars I picked up from B&Ms. I get the urge to check out every B&M I see and have to buy something.
The two boxes in the top left are from ihavanas. Partagas Serie D No. 4 and Hoyo de Monterey Epicure No. 2. Never had either one but they’ve been suggested highly by many people.
Everything else is from Fox. If anyone needs more convincing to order from Fox, check this out. I purchased the box of Tatuaje Tattoos, two Boxes of Oliva Melanios, and the 13 singles directly below them. All the 40ish singles below that, to the right of that, all the swag and accessories, were free. A sick Jet Line tabletop lighter, a Lotus tabletop lighter, a 3 finger leather case, an Oliva ash tray, hats, cutters, golf towels, and of course the handwritten notes. u/lvsquared seriously hooked it up! I’m already a customer for life, but now I want to move to Arizona when I retire and work at Fox. Golf, cigars, and whiskey. Sounds like heaven to me.
Check out the album for pics of the tupperdor. I got this Iris Weathertight bin from the container store. This is the 36qt size which I had to upgrade from the 19qt size when I placed this order. This holds about 200 cigars how I have it set up, but could hold much more if you were to keep them in ziploc bags. It has a foam gasket on the lid to keep it sealed. I open it once a day to get some airflow in. I use a Caliber IV hygrometer which I glued some angled metal to and placed magnets on the outside of the box to keep it viewable from the outside. In the bottom of the tupperdor I placed some cedar wood planks to enhance the aroma and act as somewhat of a humidity sponge. For humidity I use 8x 60 gram 65% Boveda packs. To hold my singles I bought Feathergrain wooden drawer organizers. These are the 6”x9”x2” size. I put some hot glue on the bottom of them so they will nest in each other and not slide around. They hold my singles beautifully.
Thanks for reading. I’ve gotta let these babies rest now. I can’t wait to try each one in a month or so.
Minutes? What kind of batteries are you using?
I've used these with great results-
1.8 mAh TENAVOLTS Rechargeable AA Battery Charger with 4 Counts Lithium 2775 mWh AA Rechargeable Batteries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQ7QV7W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1OgnDbJXY7QAJ
And these as well.
1.5mAh USB Rechargeable Batteries 1.5V/1500mAh Lithium Ion AA Battery with 4-in-1 Micro USB Charging Cable 1.5h Quick-Charge Built-in Integrated Safety Circuit Protection Double A Batteries(4 Pack)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F27PK2M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GVgnDb1C8DPXZ
To go along with your snazzy new backpack, if you aren't completly confident in its water repellant capabilities:
Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellant - $13 via Amazon
Just hose your backpack down with that, and let it dry overnight.
Apply a second coat to make sure.
Lasts about 2 years.

This is the best way to clean your vents, done from the outside with the dryer running and on air fluff only (no heat, you'll break the dryer other wise)

By the way on a completely unrelated note . Get your bleach here
Spray a little Static Guard on it and it will prevent it from building up. Bounce sheets are also good after you’ve run it through the wash.
Giants fans, here's a deal on a 6 pack of bleach for you, and 5 of your fellow Giants fans.

Is there a Ron Paul variety of this? I would certainly think about importing it if there was.
There's also Barrack Obama toilet paper.

Switch to Sanyo Eneloops. They come pre-charged and don't lose their charge. I made the jump for all my Speedlites and now use them in everything; couldn't be happier. You obviously don't have to buy all of the below but I was stocking up and bought multiple packs and chargers.
Edit: Bah, this should have been a reply to ustanik's "problem is your batteries" reply...
Whatever you decide to do...make sure you brasso the shit out of it when your done to make it shine like new.
It's not like you can't find them. Prob still sell at Walmart.
EDIT: Yep. And obligitory Amazon link as well.

The design of the cups is 'Jazz'. And this cake looks like the cups...

But I do agree, I would call them 'Saved by the Bell' cups
Here is a good setup that doesn't cost much at all, right around $40. The next thing you need are cigars.
Sistema Tupperware
Boveda 65% rh 4 pack
Currently Amazon has the blue/yellow single Grand Trunk hammocks for $25. Pretty awesome price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A0IH5I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Check out the Linteater (Gardus RLE202 LintEater 10-Piece Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014CN8Y8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_A9OJBbB2KXJDC)
Yes, it is made for cleaning dryer vents but it comes with a cutter attachment (shown in one the pictures) and can be used to clean out things like gutters. Might work for your case depending on how far you need it to extend.
If you're looking to do a long term value purchase, here's a great setup I can recommend! You may even already have some of these products reducing from the investment cost!
Electric Pressure Washer - $89
Snow Foam Cannon Attachment - $17.88
Shammy / Chamois Towel of Your Choice* - $8.25
Shammy / Chamois help you remove the water off a car so you can go ahead and start waxing once its dry.
1 Gallon of Snow Foam - $29.99
22 Oz Spray Wax Bottle - $12.99
Any pack of microfiber towels, spray like 2 sprays of wax on the microfiber, wipe around, take another microfiber to wipe away wax. $4
1 Gallon Acid / Non-Acid Based Wheel Cleaner (This one is acidic) - $18.99
Dilute the wheel cleaner, spray on the wheels and tires, let it sit for a little bit, then pressure wash off.
Add a clay bar if you want to get embedded dirt / brake dust off your paint! It's easy to do, costs a little, but the results are worth it.
THESE ARE MOSTLY PREMIUM CLEANING PRODUCTS! You can cut a few dollars off by going with more generic products. Why go with Gallons? You dilute all of these (except wax of course), so they will last you a looooooooooooooooong time if used correctly.
The investment is worth it if you ask me, instead of going through your local 1 minute wash for $10 or whatever, you can do a more thorough job yourself!
no, you don't need to discharge them.
Tenergy charger is good or an Imax B6AC that'll charge pretty much any battery you'd ever use.
Why not use lipos?
some infos that could be useful:
This is hands down my favorite cutter
And a steal at $20

After using Bar Keeper's Friend, I'll never use another cleaning solution for my hookahs. Works fantastically - especially for the base (make sure you've got some hookah brushes too) and the HMD.

I haven't purchased a lot from TNT, but I think you'd probably be better served buying some name brand sticks you'll be able to get in the future. TNT isn't really well known for high quality cigars. If it's between those two options, definitely grab some sticks from Shad. Lots of other good places as well, with name brand sticks.
As for the Humidor, honestly, wood Humidors are more trouble than theyre worth. Grab a gasketed Tupperware like this as well as some 65% Boveda packs and you'll be in great shape. These will keep your cigars in perfect shape, with the least amount of maintenance.
This is the best and exactly what you need.

I clean the dryer vents for all of my HVAC maintenance customers. I use this. Works amazingly.
Really? Toilet paper with Obama's face? That's just childish regardless of what you think about the president.
Snatch one of these up, you'll be able to cut a cigar perfectly blind folded.
You might try a Play & Charge kit, but I don't think they have actual batter recharging stations like that. What you could do is just get rechargeable AA batteries. I can recommend Eneloop, this kit here seems like it'd be pretty good.
This is my go to give out light :
Coast HP1 Focusing 190 Lumen LED Flashlight https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEMUOWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JGdOzbK008RFR
I'd get 2 of these and some AA. While 18 65 0 is better by all geek metrics, the only mom metric that matters is easy.
Depending on your mom, and your assessment of if she will actually take the batteries out for storage, you might want to buy the disposable lithium ones. Or if you think she would do it, some enloops or other nimh with a simple charger.
Sanyo Eneloop Ni-MH Charger and 8 Rechargeable AA and 4 Rechargeable AAA Batteries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VLAEPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xMdOzbXRNZV2G
Lastly and needs a lantern of some kind. Something like this would work if you are on a budget. 2 Pack E-TRENDS Portable LED Lantern Tent Light Bulb for Camping Hiking Fishing Emergency Light, Battery Powered Camping Lamp with 6 AAA Batteries, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KW22VAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PTdOzbX0MWWT5

Kiwi Camp Dry was the most commonly recommended spray for general waterproofing of tent materials. I was able to find it for a few dollars cheaper at Walmart than Amazon, and I've also heard of it being found at Target. I haven't gotten a chance to try it before and after yet, but I've heard some very promising tales.
Seam sealer also comes highly recommended, which is to seal the stitching around the base of the tent and any windows or other places that may potentially leak due to poor craftsmanship. I sat inside my tent while it downpoured and made sure to apply this at any spot where it was dripping. The difference just from this stuff was amazing, but if the tent itself is thin you'll also want the Kiwi product.
Thank you. It's been quite a long road, but I did my research and bought the tools that got me through it.
It's just a lifestyle now.

Are your friend.
Going high on prices.
10-15$ jars
10-15$ for a tub
5-15$ vermiculite
10$ perlite
13-25$ for a syringe or 5 for 35. recommend these guys.
8$ for rice flour
30-100$ for a pc. (don't have to have this but it's good)
Somewhere between 60 and 120 dollars without the pc and sometimes you can find a pc at a garage sale for cheap or borrow your moms.
You can make your own brf with a coffee grinder, that would add 20ish. You can use these 1 pint Ziploc with screw on lids instead of jars but I would only use these if pc'ing, and make sure to melt inoc holes before pc'ing.
You can also get some kind of static spray (Static Guard is really good but smells a little weird, and The Laundress's is pricy but smells divine).
boom
They make anti-static spray for clothes and I think even special drier sheets and fabric softener to help eliminate static electricity.
There are anti-static sprays that you can apply to the couch. I assume it's a vinyl or nylon couch. Those will make the most static.
We had one just like it. Every year or two you have to take it apart and clean it like you did. The actual lint filter screen on those is very ineffective.
I also found a lot of lint had gotten into the tube this connects to and to the actual vent run to the outside. There are a variety of cleaning kits out there. I can't find the one I have, but this is an example of one.
I just have Energizer rechargeables that came with a station for like $12. I have had these for 3-4 years and they still work perfectly and I play a lot.
Edit: This isnt the exact one I have but it is the same thing: https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Recharge-Rechargeable-Batteries-Included/dp/B00339NINQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480788026&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=energizer%2Brechargeable%2BAA%2Bbatteries&th=1

Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter
Can't wait to get my own, I'm stealing my girlfriend's dad's at the moment. Best cutter I've used, perfect cut every time and it's like cutting warm butter.
No. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Cigar-Cutter-Cuban-Crafters-Perfect/dp/B003MAZ9YW/
I have the large. Worth the extra 2 bucks.
Initially store in Tupperware - Don't over humidify the cigars, try to keep around 65% rh. (Boveda)
Get a decent cutter like the Perfect Cutter - This is a great cutter, stops you cutting too much off.
Don't smoke too fast! 1-2 per minute.
Don't waste $ on expensive sticks until you can appreciate them. It will take a while.
Best cutter I have ever used and comes with a life time warenty!
http://www.amazon.com/Cuban-Crafters-Stainless-Perfect-Cutter/dp/B003MAZ9YW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380868309&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=cuben+crafters
I recommend the Perfect Cutter Lifetime warranty and at only $17 it's reasonably priced.
No problem, I would also recommend Eneloop rechargeable batteries to use with the headlamp. They're one of the best and highly rated. Costco occasionally sells this pack of 8 AA and 4 AAA along with a charger for $26+tax after a coupon but they alternate their deals.
For tail lights I highly recommend the Planet Bike SuperFlash, PDW Radbot 1000 and PDW Danger Zone. Here's a direct link to Portland Design Works' selection of lights. I can't speak for PDW headlights as I have yet to purchase one but the quality of their tail lights is outstanding. All three of these lights cost $25-$30. I purchased them on Amazon.
As for a headlight I use a Fenix LD20 which will set you back $60 but the light is way better than any dedicated bicycle light with the same output (180 lumens @ 2xAA) for that price (e.g. Light & Motion/Magic Shine/NiteRider/etc). The LD20 can be used as an EDC with an assortment of attachments which can also be used on your bike. I've been experimenting with the white diffuser tip and have found that it provides a great 360 degree illumination of my bike at night when mounted on the down tube.
You can mount the light just about anywhere on your bike with either this mount or this one. The first I use on the handlebars and second I use to mount the light on my helmet. They're also good for mounting a lock on the frame.
I also invested in a pack of Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable Ni-MH batteries on amazon.
Whatever lights you decide on settling with I strongly recommend they take AA or AAA batteries as CR123's and 18650's are expensive and hard to come by when on the road.
You can never have too many lights. I've invested over $140 in several lights to be better seen and that's much cheaper than having to pay a hospital bill because I wasn't illuminated enough.
Lastly, I recommend the Delta Airzound Air Horn. This thing is a beast and impresses everyone that sees it and scares many that hear it. It has saved me from two very near collisions at night when my lights just weren't enough because the drivers weren't paying attention at all.
A fraction of the duration of good rechargeable batteries. This isn't taking into account probably far worse self-discharge and capacity loss over time. Good batteries don't have to be expensive either. You'll end up spending less if you simply go and buy decent ones with a halfway decent charger.
Or for only $2 more, you get twice as many batteries!
>My Garmin HRM-Tri informed me today that the battery on it is low so I’ve begun weighing my options of what to replace it with.
I guess you mean you're thinking it's a good time to upgrade? Because, pardon me if you already know this, but you can just replace the battery with a CR2032 with these instructions.
Changing the battery is easy
I had to do it in my keyfob, as my dashboard was telling me it was low and I didn't want to wait
Here is a link to the battery I bought
It is a 3V CR2032 Battery

Cool contest!!
Good effort OP, you may have forgotten this...
I use the liquid pre-mixed formula (Amazon Link). You can find this at most stores that sell cleaning supplies too. I put a small amount on a sponge and then just rinse it off after.

I spent the past week cleaning all of my NES, SNES, Super Famicom and Famicom cartridges. Taking the cartridges apart just makes it easier to get leverage while polishing the pins, and it just helps with wiping down the PCB and the inside of the cartridge shells.
I mostly followed this guide I found on Ars Technica.
I happened to have a can of Brasso metal polish laying around so I used that instead of the polish the article recommends. I also picked up a pack of Target brand magic erasers to use to clean the outer part of the cartridge shells.
In my experience, polishing the pins does more than just wiping the pins down with isopropyl alcohol. It's also a judgement call. If the pins look pretty clean then you probably don't need to polish them. Here's a before pic of a NES cartridge. And here's what it looks like after I polished the pins. This is was one my cleaner games before polishing. I wish I took before and after pics of one of my dirtier games.
I can see at least one contact that looks like it has some gunk on it.
99% of problems with old carts is the contacts.
Upgrade from alcohol to Brasso, which you can get at any Wal Mart for like $3.

It smells horrible but it really gets the job done.

I would suggest looking at milder stuff before you go the full body route and get too much of a nic hit. If you can find a My Father Connecticut, I highly suggest it!
Do you need a wood humidor? I know they look very nice, but they are not very efficient. If looks are not important look into getting a tupperdor.
Size isn't a huge deal, but you do want the locks to make a proper seal.
You'll want a good hygrometer Though with the seal your humidity should be fine. There's also a push sensor you can get for $20 now.
Then at least two boveda packs. Probably 65% imo.

That should do it, cedar trays are optional but I found that they helped keep things organized
Most will recommend the Sistema 1870.
You can optionally get a Spanish Cedar Drawer for organization.
You will need a hygrometer.
And finally Boveda. Most people will recommend 62% or 65% for a tupperdor setup.
I use lithiums too.
When Ni-Zn rechargables have a longer track-record, I'll probably give them a try. My concerns are I have read about leaks. Also Ni-Zn currently require a special charger. Once Ni-Zn batteries have been out a while it'll be safer. The additional voltage is a nice feature for the controllers.
For now, I use these lithiums >> USB Rechargeable Batteries 1.5V/1500mAh Lithium Ion AA Battery with 4-in-1 Micro USB Charging Cable 1.5h Quick-Charge Built-in Integrated Safety Circuit Protection Double A Batteries(4 Pack)
and I really love how they charge with a little usb-octopus cable -- and the batteries individually light up to show if they're charging (red) or fully charged (green). It's no-brainer easy.
It's a drying chamois with a different coating to make it slide over dip easier while holding a bit more fluid. These are pretty good on dip and paint, and it's what the Dip Washer cloth is based on. You can pick up the chamois online or at Walmart and stuff.
I just got a fake chamois on Amazon and it has changes my curls! After I rinse my conditioner, I squish excess water out, wrap in faux shammy and then wrap in towel for a bit before continuing my routine. Having my hair not touch any looped towels really has done the trick!
https://www.amazon.com/Absorber-Synthetic-Drying-Chamois-Natural/dp/B0000AY69V
I also use meguiar's #26, This stuff is for after your paint is already clean and polished. It is a paste goes on ok, comes off pretty good and your ass will slide across the paint with ease. I use dish soap to clean, use castrol super clean on the tires and wheels, I use 409 inside the jambs. I have over 40 years in paint and body, and we make cars look good. I also use absorber for a chamois, works great and no dead goats. This squeegee is also great, small car not needed as much, but big ass cars it's a time saver.
Right now it's a gorgeous red leather cambridge satchel - like $160-200 once you include shipping and all that, but I'm so tired of buying cheap vinyl bags that start falling apart after a few weeks' day-to-day use and I'm ready for something beautiful and sturdy that will last.
I don't think I've ever given anyone their dream gift, though I did really well by my dad last year - I gave him an Absorber towel (basically a ShamWOW that actually works) and he still gushes to me every time I call about how great it is and all the uses he's discovered for it, hahaha. If only everyone were so easy to please!
Turtle Wax Orange Car Wash
The Absorber to dry with.
A dry blade helps get the initial water off.
[California brush] (http://www.calcarduster.com/originalDuster.asp) works for the dust between washes.
There are a bazillion swirl removers out there. I wouldn't recommend using any of them unless you have some sort of electric buffer/polisher. I tried without one and I wanted to commit suicide it was such a horrible process. If you do have a power tool, get whatever brand sounds nice. Meguiars has some good ones but I can't recommend anything here.
Carnuba wax ...they have [wax for black cars[(http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g6207-black-wax/) but I've never tried it.
I use all of that and it works great. Can't promise it's the best on the market or that there isn't anything better..but it's worked great for me and I baby the shit out of my car.
In the city of Tow'lete, a terrible evil had arisen... Doctor Von Moiste. His diabolical scheme to flood the city using his D.A.M.P. ray would forever stain the city's spotless reputation. Who could possibly stop him and his dastardly plot?! Why none other than The Absorber!, and his trusty sidekick, Sponge Lad! Together they are Tow'lete's only hope against Von Moiste!
After washing/drying spray it down with a silicon spray like Camp Dry. It'll be dry almost instantly as you exit the pool.
Kiwi Camp Dry, Heavy Duty Water Repellent, 12oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HJ7CLY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_5sV0xb2E913QN

Does it have holes or does it just leak through the cloth? I don't know how well it will work but you can try water replant spray. Don't know how often it rains where you are but this stuff got good reviews and it worked on my tent rain fly and my boots.

Edit:
Lol just realized this was posted in Augusta sub, and i live in Evans. Guess i do know how much it rains where you are lol
On another note i used to waterproof my boots by using a hair dryer to warn the cloth and rubbing sealing wax into it, worked great for boots, water would bead off them. Might have to do or once or twice a year if it's exposed to the elements all the time but it's cheaper than replacing the top.
Similar in weight to a twist lock tupperware; my 2 cup twist lock "cup/bowl", lid and cozy sit at 1.94oz. I use mine for coffee, to rehydrate meals in or to soak food in. Having a screw top lid is awesome and my toaks 750 pot will nest inside the cup (without the lid on, i just put the lid on top of the pot).
These are very cheap and easy to find - click here
Keeps my coffee or food nice and hot!
For the range, I just use these
Maybe something like these vinyl bags with zipper sliders. Not sure if food grade and probably heavier than ziplock bags, but reusable.
In terms of a container you can store food and cook with, some hikers like pots like this Vargo BOT bottle pot that has a screw on lid. Maybe add hot or cold water to a plastic container with a screw on lid like this one from ziplock and let it soak all day.
This is my favorite eating container, with DIY reflectix cozy.
I use Static Guard - it works well for me. Like the other person said, dryer sheets work as well, and are easy to carry around in a bag just in case.
You might want to try static guard I use it on my coats and dresses to release pet hair and keep it off and it's safe for most fabrics. The downside is it washes off so you'd have to apply it with each wear since those pant are particularly troublesome. I'm not sure how well it will work on fine lint but it works great on pet hair and every girl who owns something make of silk or wool should have a can of this anyway.

You can also get it at Wal-Mart. It keeps things from sticking to athletic pants, it also good on skirts that stick to tights!
As /u/abc1001xyz said, 30 feet would be longer than what residential code normally allows. Get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014CN8Y8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 along with the 12 foot extension kit. That'll take you 24 feet. Or if you can do it from both the outside and the inside, you should be able to cover that distance.
You’d be much better off with this type of battery which is safer to charge and maintain than a Lipo [NiMH battery pack](FrSky 2000mAh 7.2V NiMH AA Battery Pack for Taranis Q X7 Transmitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073KPW46P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JklyCb9WBXGGN) and a compatible charger such as [this](Tenergy Smart Universal Charger for NiMH / NiCd Battery pack 7.2V - 12V with charging current Selection/Temperature Sensor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AVUAVC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lllyCbCPZP70W)

My fave
I had some issues with a cheap DE guillotine and bought a Cuban Cutter
It cuts true every time. No guessing unless I'm working with a small ring gauge (<32).
I've used xikar cutters and they're fine, I just don't care for the style.
Personally I can't recommend these highly enough. Cheap and free amazon shipping. Tack one onto your next order. Also has a lifetime warrantee.
Sure let me find it
*Edit - This one is very similar to the one I purchased, except you get 2 set's of AAA's and 8 AA's, though you don't get the useless C or D battery adapters. There's a few different options out there but I'd go with this one.
I have the X41s and they are an awesome set. You will hear -everything- very well.
There are a few downsides to this set however:
There is a bit of a 'buzzing' when the headphones are on and when there is no sound. You cannot hear this when there is sound however.
I was getting a bit of 'popping' or 'static' now and then. I replaced the really epically thin optical cable with a cheap one off Amazon and fixed that.
Batteries! I use these.
And sometimes the voice chat is hard to balance where you can hear everyone and so some people don't blow out your eardrums.
A pack of rechargables (Eneloops) and a decent charger (pretty much anything) would be a far better investment.
Charger + 8 AA + 4 AAA - some shopping around would probably land a better deal.
Depends on whether or not you want continued warranty and your level of technical expertise, heres an example of a newer cpu battery and here's an example of an older one.
You should contact your motherboard's support before trying any of this, they might just send you a battery for free/cheap.

I REALLY need toilet paper!! it is .94 cents over, but if you choose me I will gladly take the 36 count. My cat constantly tears up toilet paper and after bills I only have 50 dollars a week to live on. Toilet paper is important, but in order to be cost efficient you have to buy in bulk, and I just don't have the ability to take a huge chunk out of my budget for it. So I steal it from my parents since they live 15 minutes away. It would be awesome if my mom didn't have to call me asking what happened to all of the toilet paper in the guest bathroom =D
I order this

Bar Keeper's Friend sells several liquids too. This would be similar to the polish: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B28ZYPU/
I used Barkeeper's Friend.
This has gotten out a lot of things that I didn't think would come out. If it really is a scratch in the glass, though, I don't think you can do anything with it.
Amazon has a 2-Pack of the 13oz liquid for $7.63 shipped with Prime:

You're right, the tubes have (temporarily) ruined one of my cakes, and I'm waiting for it to air out to get rid of that chemical odor. Instead I recommend using a 65% Boveda pack and a 1 gallon mylar bag.
The standard method is to store your tea in some sort of container with relatively low airflow, and to pack it full of tea to decrease volatility of temperature and humidity. This container could be a plastic box with a lid, an unpowered refrigerator, a large crock, etc. There are various ways to add humidity in this setup and I don't like any of them. Not foolproof enough.
Some people like myself prefer a much higher degree of control and precision. I store most of my tea in mylar bags with 65% Boveda packs, at room temperature (~75 F). Anything higher than 65% at room temperature will put you at serious risk of mold. Also, the lack of airflow isn't an issue. That's a myth.
The following is all you'll need to purchase to get started.
It's by far the easiest, most foolproof way to store pu-erh: all you have to do is put your cake of tea and a Boveda pack in a mylar bag and seal it. Done.
Edit: To take this a step further you can create a temp-controlled "hotbox" which will keep your tea warm (104 F for peak enzymatic activity) allowing you to use higher humidity (up to 72% RH), but the details haven't really been figured out yet. I'm currently doing an experiment that will show some inital results in January 2020. So just letting you know there is more to it than what I've mentioned above, but I don't suggest jumping into it quite yet because it's a bit expensive, requires some know-how, and after all that is still very risky.
I personally use 1.5v lithium ion AA batteries with the built-in micro-usb charging board. Something like these. Unlike every other battery, these output a constant 1.5v from fully charged to fully dead because internally it uses a 3.7v battery that is stepped down to 1.5v. They have a lower capacity compared to other batteries, but they also charge in 1-2 hours with just a micro USB cable, so that doesn't really matter to me.

I would probably get a day or so out of energizer rechargeables as well.
Now I get a week if I play heavily. I bought these is September and only had to recharge them once when I wanted to play.

have been an absolute dream for me. I was going through a set of energizers a DAY playing no man's sky.. these get me through the same amount of time and I just plug them in overnight. Great lights on them telling you when charged and never had a low battery warning. LOVE THEM.
I use these. They can last quite a while as long as you take them out of the controllers when you aren't using them.
However, rechargeables won't tell you when they're getting low. They're designed to output 100% power whether they're full or almost-empty.
FYI those expensive pva cooling towels can be found in the automotive cleaning isle they are used to dry off your car. They are twice the size and cost less money. This is what i use The Absorber.
It just occurred to me today that my Explorer is the only car left that I had when I bought my absorber in 2006. Since then I've gotten married, did a stint in the military, moved 4 times, had three kids and half a dozen cars have come and gone, two of which were driven to their demise. But the $8 (in 2006) shami is still going. https://www.amazon.com/Absorber-Synthetic-Drying-Chamois-Natural/dp/B0000AY69V
Roughly speaking: Brushless is better for your paint - brush is better at removing dirt/grim. Bring a chamois and some wax-as-you-dry. Pull over to the side of the car-wash when you're done and dry/wax the car off (doesn't have to be perfect). Use a different cloth to dry your wheels. You dont want brake dust/particulate making it's way back up to your paint. Pretty simple methodology I use, but then again i'm down south where it's not below 32F everyday. hope this helps point you in the right direct! post up some pics when she's clean!
Chamois example
How did the waffle weave towel do for drying I've been using something like this, but I was thinking about getting one of the Meguiar's waffle weave towels.
Ideally no, not dishwashing soap. My understanding is that the chemicals are harsher on the gel coat as well as the environment.
That being said the most popular soap in my neck of the woods is Orpine It goes for a pretty penny. (There's a smaller $20 bottle FYI)
In it's defense though, the gel is highly concentrated, you don't use too much per wash which means that that gallon jug will last way longer than you would ever imagine...but still, $70? Just don't let your kids pour the shit all over and waste it.
I'd also like to add that I'm very fond of the smell of it so much that I'm hoping one day they'll start a body soap or deodorant or something. That's pretty much the one thing that has the edge over a few other boat soaps that come to mind e.g. Turtle Wax, MaryKate SuperSuds, and whatever other crap they sell at West Marine.
As for the Chamois, it really is pretty much the most important part of the process. Basically you rinse, you soap, You rinse again. Soap helps lift the dirt, ash, goop, blood stains, whatever. When you rinse the second (and last time) and leave it to air dry you're leaving all the minerals or residue from the hose water to sit and thus dirty the boat again. You'll see water ring stains from the dried up water droplets on the gel coat, wood, metal, etc. It's definitely an OCD thing but that's how I learned...especially if you get into waxing your boat but that's a whole other discussion.
BTW, an Absorber chamois goes for about $15. The Shurhold Mop is another expensive item for what it is but it's an accessory to a very good and sturdy telescoping pole with very good quality brush heads.
I used to clean boats for a living and after a while you realize that it is expensive to be cheap. Buy once, take care of your tools and they'll love you forever.
Protip: Get into the habit of having NeverDull around. It'll make your metal forever shiny if you just give the rails and other visible metals a quick wipe after you've cleaned and dried it all. The product produces a light haze so give it one last wipe with a dry cloth and you're all set.
Too much information?
Ps. This is the first time I try all these jazzy hyperlinks on a reply. I hope they work.
Edit: had to fix the links as predicted.
What kind of boat do you have anyway?
Wipe the car down with one of these.
I've used them for years, including on my model 3. If the car is clean it won't scratch. It'll suck up ALL of those water spots. It's brilliant. Just be sure to keep our moist.

I also suggest spraying your boots with a waterproofer/fabric protectant spray! I use Camp Dry by Kiwi on all my outdoor shoes. I'm about to try it on my book bags and coats sometime! But I think it really helps your shoes last and keep from water damage. :] Just a tip! Btw, I have Deena&Ozzy combat boots and so far so good!

Go to Walmart or the local shoe store and head over to the socks. Buy the thickest, most cushy socks you can find. Put the socks on, then go over to the work boots.
Brahma brand boots are a good value for the money (Walmart, and I think Payless both carry these), but look for some basic work boots in the $25-35 range. Find some that fit just a little loose with your new socks and buy them.
Nearby you should find a rack with gel and memory foam insoles, usually for around $8 a pair. Get the thickest, squishiest set you can find. Gel vs foam is mostly personal preference; I recommend giving the gel a try.
Remove the cheap, thin insole that came in the boots and use it as a template to trim the toes of your new insoles to the right size, then throw away the original insole (it's crap, you don't want it).
Make sure this all fits in the boot without crowding your toes. A tight fight will be uncomfortable, and it won't get better over time. If it's too tight, take the boots back and try a pair that is a half-size bigger, and try the 'Wide' variation in a couple of different sizes too.
In your case, working with water, I'd also recommend grabbing a can of Camp-Dry and liberally spraying the boots. They'll last longer and keep your feet more comfortable.
Really comfortable shoes really make a huge difference when you do standing work, for around $40 you can have super comfortable boots that will last between 1 and 4 years (depending on how hard you wear them and if you take care of them). Dry them carefully after you wear them (Loosen the laces and pull the tongue forward to let in plenty of air, and if they are particularly wet, lift the insole to get some air around it).
You can spend hundreds of dollars on great work boots, but you don't really need to for standing work. Cheap boots will fall apart fast if you spend all day hiking around a construction site, but if you're mostly standing around in a store you don't need to spend the extra money.

As an interesting side note to this. I went to go get plastic containers with screw on lids
For those that don't want to click the link, it's 3 x 16oz containers (~475ml) for $6.50
Or 48oz of space for $6.50
A 12 x 16oz box of mason jars is $11.50
Or 192oz of space for $11.50
192 oz of plastic storage space would cost $26.
So glass and steel is somehow less than half the price of plastic, which I did not expect at all.
The jars also have replacement lids and seals you can buy, to hell with you plastic!
In the u.s. people use a lot of different things. Some people like the flimsy little bottles, some people like harder sided gatorade bottles, some just use coca cola bottles!
As for a cold soaking container - do you have access to these? https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Twist-Loc-Containers-Lids/dp/B000LNY1D8
They don't leak and are 16 oz. The talenti jars are 16 oz as well.
I've been using these lately, cheap, seals tight, no odor once the lid screws on. You can find them in almost any grocery store, Target, etc.

just cut a hole the size of your speedlite in the blue top, and then cover the rest of the top with aluminum foil, and place the assembled container on your speedlite upside down.

You could always use a linteater
I purchased one and it does a great job. My dryer is located on the second floor, it goes up the wall, and through the attic out the roof the roof.
Buy one time, you can use it many times. You could probably get away with the lower-cost version, or something similar to this.
What I done was, when I put all the rods together, I went ahead and used electrical tape and taped the joints just in case, that way they didn’t come apart in the middle of the duct.
I try to do what things I can around the house, the things I cannot do I’ll call a professional for.

Follow the instructions and for the love of god do not put your drill in reverse!!!
I bought a new house the dryer would not vent at all. I had to use the claw at first and pulled out socks, underwear and literally a giant pile of lint. It would fill your avg kitchen sink. Once done put your shop vac on the end and blow out the loose stuff. If you don't own a shop vac, now is the time to buy one.
I now once a year clean my vents and I've used it for many other projects.

I wouldn't suggest using the Rival battery pack charger for other battery packs, really I don't like those sorts of chargers full stop they tend to be the cause of a lot of battery pack problems as you have little control over their charge rate plus they tend to break more easily. Ideally you'll go for a programmable charger that can do both NiMH and LiPo (even if you never plan to got LiPo). If you want to save a bit of money Tenergy do a Smart NiMH charger, I've had one for years and it works fine, you would need an adapter as well to use it with an XT60 pack (as it comes standard with Tamyia) for charging using adapters isn't so much an issue as you're only sending 1-2A of current.
This one I already have an adapter on it for regular tamiya to small tamiya
You really didn't give any details about the battery so this is what i found.
My current charger won't have a problem charging this will it? https://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Smart-Universal-Charger-Battery/dp/B001AVUAVC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1549296725&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=tenergy+nimh+charger
I recommend that you use 6 x AA NiMH cells, use them in the battery holder, as is.
Then buy a 7.2 V charger for NiMH batteries, add a connector and use it to charge your toy.
You generally don't want to bother with the included charger anyway, no matter what brand it is. Get one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AVUAVC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&amp;pd_rd_i=B001AVUAVC&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_p=f0dedbe2-13c8-4136-a746-4398ed93cf0f&amp;pd_rd_wg=byte0&amp;pf_rd_r=6CPWJHHWG1HWAKA9WNYT&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_t=40701&amp;pd_rd_w=ZZvyD&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pd_rd_r=b47d14d4-eea9-11e8-a1cb-bd18f79b5821) and a plug adapter. You'll have a vastly easier time.
This one should charge it for you without any problems.
Charger
It's intended for RC NIMH batteries, but the battery in the prometheus should be able to use the plug, and charge just fine. I think the Rival charger runs at the 0.9A setting, but the 1.8A setting should also charge your battery without issue I would think. Incidentally, that charger should also work for the normal Rival pack should you have one.

>I recently bought a play and charge kit from eBay...the battery won't charge...Does anyone have a solution?
if the item was sold as new and/or in working condition, return it. eBay has pretty favorable buyer protection. if it was sold as-is, you are out of luck.
in addition to a stand-alone charging station, your choices are as follows:
All three of those choices are around $15 delivered (assuming you are in the USA).
Thanks for the reply.
>Rechargeable batteries are different, they put out fill power all the way until the end and then just die.
Yes, I'd rather have that then the sound slowly degrading and being unbearable.
>i'd save the hassle and go with a good brand like Duracell or Energizer rechargeable ones, 2400mah
I had the impression that Panasonic Eneloops were great and reliable batteries from the many websites talking about them and people's reviews all over Amazon. What do you think? Are those not good?
What about this one? What do you think about the top review on that battery/charger combo?
I bought the [Energizer Rechargeables] (http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Value-Charger-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00339NINQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420175127&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=energizer+rechargeable+aa) and they seem to work just fine.

> whether that is removable or not is less important
This is quite important, as rechargeable batteries have a finite life as well. Imagine your non-replaceable battery pack dying.
Overall, its not a 'big' mistake, because you can go out and buy rechargable batteries anytime you want and use those, regardless if its through the charge and play pack or not.
I would see what mah the batteries are, but they don't say. Most Nyko products are low, while AA Energizer Rechargeables are what I use and recommend. 2300mah batteries will last more than 40 hours of use without a recharge, where 400mah batteries, most likely the ones here, only last around 7 hours of use without a recharge. Most stores sell the four pack AA Energizer with charger for under $15.00, a better deal in my mind.
Edit: here is the link to the Energizers on sale at Amazon. Although I think these are the 2000mah batteries and not the higher 2300mah batteries, they are still very good.
I use these and they have never failed me.

I think everyone else has the basic cleaning tips covered already. I listen to an audiobook, podcast, or other such things when I clean. I find it makes the work go easier because I have this fun and interesting thing to listen to and if I get into it enough I want to keep cleaning so I can listen more. Music doesn't usually have the "I want more" aspect and doesn't work as well for me.
Good luck with your spring cleaning! I hope you keep feeling better and don't get sick again!

Reviews are terrible lately(formula change) on Brasso. I went to another site that said it helps repair cd's too though.
Try using Brasso.
Put a dab of Brasso on a towel, and pressing softly, use a circular motion to polish the contacts on both sides, and then wipe it clean.
This has fixed even my most impossibly stubborn games and now they work first try 90% of the time.
I even made a post about it a while back.
If you're having trouble with a lot of games still you might want to look into replacing the 72 pin connector inside the NES, though this takes a bit more work.
Yep! There's some kind of UV coat or something on the lens and it oxidizes. It's not dirt, don't bother with windex,
Best way to clean it is to get some of this shit and a q-tip or cotton ball. Takes 15 seconds, your camera will work like new again.
I bet polishing the scale with Brasso will take the branding right off. I used to use it on legos to remove printing from pieces. Worked great.
This
Or this
Both of which are available at your local grocery store or Walmart.
yeah, i was doing some research and that seemed to have the best reviews.
my next additions will be:
Simple Green for the engine bay.
Brasso + 0000 steel wool for the exhaust.

This is the easiest way to roll a joint I've found. Just roll a crutch and slide it into the bottom of the orange tube. Then wrap a king size paper around the tube and the top of the crutch and seal it. This allows you to pull the cone cleanly off of the orange part. Then you put your cone on the clear part, and put ground herb into the top. You can shake it around, or use the orange part to pack it down.

pick this up at the local shop for 5 bucks a few weeks ago and really love it..my cones are starting to look professional
I recommend the Cone Artist, a great alternative rolling device.
I too have issues with my hands and I found a thing on Amazon called The Cone Artist for about $7 that really helped me. It's two pieces that fit together to give you a cone shaped mold to roll your paper around with a recess to hold a crutch. After you've formed your cone, you can slide it off, pack the funnel, and fill accordingly. Super simple and mine has lasted for a couple years now. I've also seen them from time to time in local head/glass shops. Here's a non-affiliate amazon link to it. Hope this helps, Ent! Good luck!
Someone on this reddit turned me onto the Cone Artist cone roller, it is awesome! It does what this pencil does, but then also helps with loading it up.

Have you considered switching to Boveda Packs? You do not have to worry about adding water and they work really well in most situations. For a Tupperdor, I would recommend the 65%.
Also, I'm assuming using Tap Water was a lapse of judgement and you know you should use Distilled Water. If not, let me know and we can have a talk about why you should not use Tap Water.
this table might be helpful for figuring it out. Since you are planning on plastic storage you may not need as many bovedas as you think.
Of course the more you add the longer life of the boveda packs themselves.

It has the same LEDs and everything.

These work great for me. Haven't lost connection and they haven't exploded yet so thats a good sign.
These batteries are good:

You think so huh?
There are plenty of options in the AA format even if they are not just cells...
Get it and also make sure you purchase quality batteries to per your motion controllers. I couldn't believe how I'd kill expensive lithium disposable batteries in less then a day of heavy use.
I saw someone post on here about purchasing these batteries with a positive review.
https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Batteries-Quick-Charge-Integrated-Protection/dp/B07F27PK2M
I couldn't be happier that I bought a set for my controllers.
I get 3 days of 5-7 hour moderate usage before they need a recharge and should last a little over two years of they actually reach the 1000 cycle recharge limit claimed. My tracking has improved as well. There is a significant difference in how bright the controllers are compared to brand new Energizer lithium Ions when installed and turned on right next to each other.

Looks like you didn't quite read your own link... 10 bucks for a single battery. Now let's have a little comparison.

Four batteries plus the charger? For four more dollars? And doesn't require a USB cable or a wall adapter or Playstation 3 to charge?
Yeah that's substantially cheaper.
I'll do you a favor, I looked it up and found the same battery for five bucks total. Not bad.
However, you can get four Energizer batteries for a little over 10 dollars anywhere they sell batteries.
So each battery is half of what the Playstation 3 one is. Like I said, substantially cheaper.

I said it was more difficult, not that it was impossible to do. You're not refuting anything.
Also, you do realize this voids the warranty. Good luck getting a replacement if you try this.

I'm sorry you are stuck with tons of devices which operate on your precious AA's, I only have my TV remote and Direct TV controller that use such trinkets.
Once again, this refutes nothing about what I said.
>Sorry for the bad grammar I'm on my Iphone which uses one of those proprietary non-removable batteries which make life easier, maybe they should make a phone which uses AA's so you don't have to look for charger!
I'm on a phone too... It's not difficult to have proper spelling and grammar.
For some reason, you really, really want it to sound like these built in batts are some massive innovation but they're really not. It uses the exact same tech to make the Energizer ones and they're nearly identical when it comes down to the performance.
What exactly makes these built in batteries so amazing? What can they do that AA's can't? Just answer that and maybe you'll have a leg to stand on in this little debate. Because so far all you've given me is, "It plugs in to the console!" Big whoop, that's not really a big deal.
Huge improvement: This toilet paper is "half black:"

Godspeed you if you are set on a Xikar, lots of guys ( me included) use this and never look back, they cut very well, have a warranty and take the guesswork out of how deep to cut the cigar.
Pick up Brasso or a similar contact cleaner at your local grocery store, it takes about 5 minutes to use. Or order it here.

A couple of years ago I had issues with cutting my cigar without enough light to see what I was cutting. I fixed the problem by getting a Cuban Crafter's Perfect Cigar cutter - https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003MAZ9YW
It's really hard to screw up.
These are amazing and totally worth it. Dry the windows and steel first so don't get water spots.
