Man, I've been rocking the same 20 dollar Walmart special vacuum most of my life. I finally bought a badass one since I have pets now and it is crazy the difference in how much in vacuums up. I could run the 20 dollar variant over the carpet and get nothing them run the new one over the same area and fill up the container.
Definitely getting old when you get excited for a fucking vacuum cleaner.

To be fair we brooded about the decision for a whole year after seeing it late 2016 at a fair. The build quality of this vacuum is outstanding. The old one we had, at 10% of the price, was a piece of shit after a while. We have 90% hardwood and 10% tile floor so I don't need or want the whole carpet stuff. Well the hard floor equipment of teh old vacuum started to fuck up after some time, there were brushes in it that you just couldn't clean.
Now I have a really well built machine that also while vacuuming up the dust mops the floor at 1350 oscillations per minute holy shit I have the weirdest boner.

I have found the perfect gaming microphone! Behold!! The Cyber Acoustics USB mic!
The biggest things are the low profile and sound quality. It's not headset boom mic quality, but it's damn close. It has the best noise cancelling on a mic since the old Logitech desktop mic IMO. The unidirectional pickup is probably one foot to the left or the right of the mic.
The low profile is awesome. It sits right behind my keyboard about 2 and a half feet away, and clearly picks up my voice, and keeps a lot of the bass. Does not hinder my view of my monitor in the least. The mic is a tad larger than you would think, but it's nowhere near the size of the Blue mics.
Overall...8/10.

It really doesn't sound as good as an XLR. It also has zero features, like changing the recording pattern.

As long as your teammates can hear you telling them to fuck off, does it really matter?
I have a mic from...god, I don't know how old it is. Some old Logitech PoS that I think I bought when Win XP came out. Some people on this forum can attest to how shitty it is. Maybe I should get a new one.

USB Microphone won't ever sound as good as a straight XLR, but you need an interface to be able to run an XLR to your PC so USB only is usually cheaper. Just don't buy a goddamn Blue Yeti like half the fucking streamers out there. This one looks perfectly fine for like 1/3rd of the price.

I've had this https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-Microphone-Black-Silver/dp/B00009EHJV microphone for ages. funny how people seem to charge 5x the original price now that it's old as fuck.
the one Brahma linked looks really nice though. If I ever need a new one I'll take a look at that.

I'm going to need you to post a recording of you saying "big ass ham" to confirm bass levels before I can recommend this to other people.

SmarterFresh Hand Held Bidet Sprayer, Premium Stainless Steel Diaper Sprayer
Recently got back from SEA and pretty much immediatly orders this bad boy. It was a little pricey, but as soon as I opened the box I could tell that it's a quality product.
If you're still a fucking savage using wadded up paper, it's time you evolved.

Hey man, I like spraying cold water up my ass!
Most of the excess water naturally runs off, what's left is absorbed by the underwear, or you can always dry off with tp.Deathwing said:
