I’ve been looking at Antlion and a few similar products.  I’ve got some really nice Audio-Technica studio headphones imported from audiocubes.com that I absolutely love.  I’ve been using my webcam’s mic, but friends on discord say I sound so tinny that it’s hard to understand me sometimes.  This seems like a solid… Read more

My friend got one of these conical fermenters, I got a few cases of the grolsch-type bottles (flip tops) and the amount of work was cut in half, definitely worth the money if you know what you are doing. If you are just… Read more

If you have a thru axle front fork, these are a pain. Yes it will work with the adapter, but there is still a lot to be desired. After using a similar racks (Yakima Copperheads) I switched to wheel on racks.

Having to remove the front wheel to mount your bike on the rack is not convenient. I’ll take an upright mount every time. BTW, I can mount my upright rack on my rails in under a minute. T-track rails are the answer. Granted, my rack doesn’t fit in my glove box. Read more

They can’t guarantee anything because depending on the failure there may not be anything they can do. This is why a NAS shouldn’t be considered a full backup. You need to complement it with a off-site backup. So buy two of them and send one to a relative or friend and they can back each other up. Read more
