The Swamp

I'm guessing I was the only person here who bought the Jordan Concords when they were released yesterday

Has anyone purchased a Coravin (the wine preserver thing that has a ton of ads on cable news) or a related item. Worth it?

Looking at something along those lines as a Christmas gift and I've gotta think there's a better option out there than paying $200 for a Coravin unless it really is the shit.

IN my house we apply the "once you open it you have to finish it that day or it goes bad"

We saw a ton of them in Napa. The nicer models have an Argon cartridge. I'd say it's a great gift for someone who is really into cellaring wine and wants to be able to share/taste some high dollar bottles without the need to bust the whole thing open, but if you're looking for something to keep a normal bottle for a few days longer, it's way overkill.

Hoping to tap into Swamp experience here. I'm looking to buy a better set of speakers for my computer than the current shitbox $25-ish ones I have, but don't want to lay out $200 for the Beats/Bose-type ones I saw at the store.

So any recommendations on something more in the $50 to $75-ish range that actually can kick out some decent sound?

Can anyone recommend a pair of earbud headphones that 1) cost less than $100 and 2) will last more than a few weeks before they stop working on one side like the last 10 pairs I've had?

If you’re ok with wired, I love these. On my third pair, but that’s over more than a decade.

By no means do I use them every day, but I've had these for about a year and they're fine. I use them primarily if not exclusively when running.

So I use those (or maybe a slightly nicer version) on a daily basis. Pretty much have them around my neck as I move through the day. I originally bought a really nice pair of JayBirds because they were supposed to be waterproof (I destroy electronics based on sweating at the gym/on runs). They burned out very quickly. The only reasons that the Anker die is the battery eventually goes. For $20 or $30 I don't mind replacing them every 9-12 months.

I can second mister d on the Bose. I have used mine daily for two years and not one problem.

I'm with Wlu on the sweat issue. I have some cheapos at my desk that are fine because i don't sweat at my desk. But workout headphones go bad much quicker. Or they did back when I worked out. I have a decent pair of Samsung Level wraparound bluetooth at home for yard work. looks like they are $35 or so. The neck thing may be a dealbreaker.

I use these. I'm on my second pair, first one lasted a little over 2 years. But for $20, they are pretty good.

Saw some kid wearing one of these at Cedar Point on Wednesday. I thought he had made it. Didn't realize they actually sold them.

That's when what seemed like something that was cool and funnily ironic becomes just plain stupid.

Besides, my head started sweating the moment I saw this picture.

For those Kindle-inclined history buffs, Andrew Roberts bio "Napoleon" is $2 on kindle daily deals today. Worth it even if you've read other Napoleon bios.

If there's one thing I'll remember from all this, it's that nobody inundates your life with ads the moment you start buying related items like the world of gardening.

Exercise equipment would like a word with you.

Reminds me of the time amazon thought buying a mini fridge was clearly my new collectible hobby.

Today's entry is: we know you bought a pair of goggles and a hard case. But you need more, right?

Anyone else get new mesh shorts? I got a bunch of new mesh shorts.

I have a bunch of meetings coming up so yes

I actually need some. Buy some for me. I'm good for it.

Champion lacrosse shorts are working reeeeeeeal well over this way. Pairs well with "t-shirt I haven't taken off for 36 hours" and a bandana in my hair like a cute female baker.

Can't wait for you to complain when Amazon suggests you buy a second nose stud.

The picture of him in the NFL Qbs as women twitter didn't have the headband on, sadly.

His hair has body so its a look. Mine would be falling flat over my face otherwise so its necessity. Also, I am 20 years older. So I guess like Mayfield, but much worse.

Ha, I thought you meant a cute female baker, like a girl who works in a bakery.

But if you had to match swampers to nfl QBs, you'd definitely be Baker.
