I have the Neato robotics model which I found superior to the Roomba. Just make sure that if you have a dog that occasionally dumps in the house that your Roomba/Neato doesn't plow through it... It isn't pretty.

The Shithead that remodeled our kitchen decided to raise the floor an inch or two so we wouldn't be able to use a roomba. It sucks because our dog sheds like crazy

One imperial inch, I haven't measured it though. It's like they laid tile on top of the wood floors or something, I can't figure it out.
I'll get exact measurements so you dont lose sleep

I'd imagine receipts, but lying to the insurance company is insurance fraud, which itself is quite a deterrent.

Got the weather techs today, so far so good. Material seemed a little thinner than I thought it would be, but as long as they last I don't care.
The back seat liner fit really snug and awesome. The front seat ones were a little less tight but still seemed good. Hoping for the best.

I bouight a pair of those weather techs a long time ago before they got really popular. I thought they were thin too. I kept the ones in the back of the truck since I never use the back seat. I wanted heavy duty. So I took the mud flap from a semi and cut it to fit and it's 1/4" thick. That was 16 years ago and still going strong. Probably not your cup of tea, but for a truck that actually gets used it's fantastic and cheap. Sadly no naked lady on them.
I think I paid $15 for them.

Yeah if I had a truck or did real work I'd consider something else. I just get in my car and drive to work/home. I live in MA, so weather is fairly unpredictable and shitty - last year it snowed for a month straight, my yard was filled with 5 feet of snow. It wrecked my carpet in my car, so that's why I went weathertech.
The reviews were so good, so hopefully my foot doesn't wear through them - that's all I'm really worried about.

I have the weather-tec for my truck as well, probably one of the best additions I've put for the interior(and I've got a lot of shit in there). They really are as good as the ads. Great material, nice 1-2" lip to catch pretty much anything that falls on the floor and a perfect "laser-cut"(or whatever the fuck their marketing calls it) fit to the truck model.
I've spilled coffee and god knows what else all over that floor and I just can pull the panel out and hose it off, stick it back in. They were like 175$ though, but I sweat by them
EDIT: I've had zero issues with "wear through", so not sure if that's a known problem or just a fear from new owner. I do TONS of driver(been cross country more than once with truck and RV in tow), the ones in the back had dogs on it all the time, still as strong as day 1.

Well what did you expect them to do in that case? My father was all up in arms about this in his new house. The contractor was laying tile and it was proud of the floors around it by like 3/4 of an inch. So he bitched about it and what they had to do is remove the sub floor, then add nailing shims on the floor joists and install the sub floor flush with the tops of the joists thus lowering it down by 3/4 in. It cost him an extra $2000.
Usually in a tile install, they cannot just set tile on the sub floor, its not rigid enough, the tiles would crack, especially the larger ones. And even with smaller tiles, the grout lines would crack. It takes either two layers of sub floor or a layer of sub floor and a cement backer board to make the floor rigid enough for tile. Hence why your tile floor is proud of the floors surrounding it. In new construction all this shit can be planned out, but in a reno install its not so easy to accomplish.

I didn't expect anything. I bought the house this way and don't generally complain about it. I'm just sad I can't get a roomba.
I assisted with a Reno where we took a kitchen down to the subfloor to lay tile. It sucked.

Amazon.com: NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender - Wall Plug Version (WN3000RP): Electronics
Despite being only two floors above the router, our Amazon Fire Stick wouldn't stream smoothly despite having a consistent Good/Excellent signal. I figured there was interference causing the issue so I bought the above extender and set it up last night.
Set up was easy and you can even use your phone browser to do it. It did take a few minutes to actually achieve a full (device->extender->router->internet) connection but it eventually did and streaming was smooth afterward. Success!

Sick and tired of not having enough light, picked up one of these:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._f_2_8_IS.html
Waiting for the 80d to pick up a new body. My current DSLR is old enough it only goes up to ISO 1600, and it's grainy at that. 800 is really the max. And with the kit lens, even well lit gyms are dark. Fuck you, light.

I have had the Nissan All Weather OEMs in my Murano, Rogue and Quest and they are quite thick even on the valleys of the groves etc. compared to the OEM all weathers on the civic it was much much thicker - and they fit perfect and have hooks to hold on to. So depending on what you have check the OEMs out - but the weather tech's are the best aftermarket for fit from everything that I have heard from people.I bouight a pair of those weather techs a long time ago before they got really popular.

I like the mud flap idea!!

Just bought a GoPro 4 Session. The tiny black cube one to replace my old one that was donated to a Texas cornfield a few months ago. Pretty nice since it dropped in price by 50%. Also had to get a special mount for it for $100. We'll see how nice it is this weekend though.

I mainly look forward to the organization provided by a knife block.
