Slickdeals Comment Appreciation Awards (Round 3)

Of all the things to see on Slickdeals... I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've needed to buy safety pins in my life and yesterday was one of them. Just saw this posted today. Slickdeals really does take care of you if you check it first I guess lol

It needs the "Red Ring of Death", to be truly authentic.

bananas usually cost like $10 each so this seems like a pretty slick deal

Nice find!

I'm going to order a large pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni + pepperoni pie.

Thanks! OP. In for a one way ticket for my wife.

Should we trust these to not practically blind us?

As much as I'd like to see the solar eclipse, i'm more worried about permanent eye damage from all these cheapo glasses out there. Risk vs Reward is not there for me.

My father invented the oreo package that opens and reseals - it was called project "arrowhead" because we used to go to sites the soil was recently excavated and find arrowsheads as a kid. Cool to see so many variations over the years

Good deal, but the UPS guy would absolutely hate me if I ordered 200 lbs of litter for delivery

I bought the 24k a few years ago and I absolutely LOVE IT. It runs quiet and can chill things out in a hurry. I put mine in the living room as it's a centralized location and use my heat thermostat fan to circulate the cool air through the house (single story home).

The install for this can be very involved but it will really depend on your situation layout and skill level. If you get a 120v/15' hose unit that you can plug in to a standard recepticle, mount the head on the wall, drill a hole and shove the lines outside, then mount the unit on the siding or a concrete pad outside the wall, this install will likely be pretty easy.

It also be a pain as well though once you get into the 240v units if you aren't set up for it. I'm an electrician by trade and it took me 50 hours to install mine. That involved quite a few steps:

-Coring a 3" hole through brick, running lines up and through my garage and out the side wall.

-Setting up a chain-fall to hoist the condenser into the air, plus buying wall brackets and placing backing board in the walls with lag bolts to make damn sure it was solid.

-I bought the line gutter kit to give it a really clean install, highly recommend it.

-Run 1/2" conduit from my panel to a junction box outside the house, through the garage, to a disconnect under the unit.

-Installed 30 amp breaker and pulled 2 circuits a neutral and a ground, 10awg. The condenser doesn't need the neutral but you need a service gfci recepticle within a reasonable distance of the condenser unit. Plus it's been great having a plug out there now.

Sorry for the long ass post but take a few minutes with a pen and paper and a measuring tape before starting a project like this. What length of lines are you getting, how are you going to hide them? (coiling them up neatly behind the condenser is fine) What kind of walls are you drilling through, where is the condenser mounting, what voltage system will you need?

A 3" masonry core bit, wall brackets, gutters, EMT conduit, disconnect, hose and conduit supports, wire, chainfall; that's all things I hadn't anticipated but were made possible by my sponsors Amazon next day shipping and repeated trips to Home Depot heh.

Wish I knew how to host pics because it turned out great though. Good luck and safe installs everyone 👍

Got my popcorn ready for the crazy comments! Lol

Don't be fooled by some of the "included extras" for Disney World. The below items are included with your resort stay even if you book on your own...

- Transportation to the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Disney Springs®
- Complimentary standard parking at all Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Disney Springs
- Complimentary standard overnight self-parking at the hotel
- Early Theme Park Entry

They do offer a discount on the resort stay, so that's good. Jut don't like how they make it seem like these are extras they are offering by booking through them.

Not just limited to April 6. Trust me, you show up a lot of places buck naked, and people will give you free underwear and more, no matter what the calendar says. This deal isn't limited to clothes either, because you may get free jewelry, like stainless steel double bracelets, and a ride in a chauffeur driven Ford explorer or Dodge charger with blue disco lights, too. Works every time, 60% of the time.

Wtf they have 1.5 TERABYTE SD CARDS NOW?!!! Omg

Just remember, if you hang in there long enough, good things can happen in this world. I mean, look at me.

Heads up, I previously bought a number of Sketchers version of these shoes and have loved them. Then decided to try HeyDude and the sole felt like I was wearing cardboard.

Immediately returned and ended up getting sketchers again.

Not here to hate on them, just share my experience in case it helps.

This is probably the best cost per frame for non-raytraced games you can get right now, at least for a card with more than 8gb of vram. While the 6750xt has gone a bit lower in the past ($300), stock has been drying up and I haven't seen it below $320 for a while. At 1080p the 6750xt is only very slightly weaker than the substantially more expensive (typically $350 on a good sale) rtx 4060ti, and at 1440p it's actually slightly faster than the 4060ti (in non-raytraced games). Additionally, the 6750xt has 12gb of vram, which is really the minimum you should expect for any card over $300. Cards with only 8gb of vram can run into issues playing the latest games at 1080p, let alone at 1440p. To get a nvidia card with more than 8gb of vram you'd need to spend at minimum ~$430 for the terrible value 4060ti 16gb (which is just as slow as the base 4060ti 8gb), or spend ~$500 (on a very good sale) for a 4070 12gb. Nvidia's raytracing advantage doesn't mean much at this price tier, since the performance impact of raytracing tends to greatly outweigh it's visual benefits unless you've got an abundance of gpu horsepower to throw at a game. In terms of cost per frame the 6750xt is moderately better than the rx 6800 16gb (on a good sale ~$380), particularly at 1440p and below. That being said, if you want a higher end 1440p experience, the rx 6800 at $380 offers a decent performance boost and four additional gb of vram for a relatively modest price premium.

There are some disadvantages to purchasing an amd gpu instead of an nivida card, namely: substantially worse power efficiency (compared to ada lovelace gpus, the 6750xt has a tdp of 250w while the similarly performing 4060ti has a tdp of 165w), somewhat worse (though still perfectly usable, at least in my experience) drivers, worse raytracing performance in the same price tier (not as much of a concern in the low end price tier), no dlss (which is a more widely supported and substantially superior upscaler compared to fsr), a more limited feature set (no rtx video, rtx hdr, nvidia reflex, etc.), worse ai/ml performance (though the lack of vram hamstrings nvidia gpus in those applications at this price tier), worse encoding performance, and a lack of cuda. That being said, for many gamers those disadvantages are entirely insufficient to justify paying more for cards with less vram and substantially worse cost per frame. On the plus side the radeon adrenaline software is superior to the nvidia control panel and geforce experience imo, though it's possible nvidia's new beta "app" might catch up to it eventually.

It's also worth noting that as a last gen rdna2 card the 6750xt lacks dedicated ai accelerators (not very useful now, but this may become relevant for ai based features in the future), a couple of recent driver features such as the new anti-lag+, and av1 encoding. Once again though, in terms of gaming the 6750xt at $310 provides an excellent value.

Overall, if you're looking for a low tier gpu (calling a $300 gpu "low tier" feels awful, but the current market is awful) for high end 1080p or mid tier 1440p gaming in the near term this is a good deal. If you can wait rdna 4 should be coming out before 2024 ends and based off of current leaks should offer a decent improvement in terms of price to performance.

Should mention this is a throwing axe

I was so obsessed with this show I even went to their concert at Radio City. Still have 4 different mugs I bought on hbo.com and have coffee everyday.

One of the best shows ever. sleeper hit I found by flipping channels as Jemaine sang to Bret he has it going on. I was like....wtf is this? I need to watch lol

I've owned this for about 8 months now. Things to know:

- It's REALLY powerful. You'll get dirt out of your carpet that you didn't know you had.
- It's so powerful because it forms a 'sealed' chamber around the brush roller
- The downside to that sealed chamber is it will suck up any thin or lightweight rugs instantly. There's no power setting to tone it down a bit. You can turn the brush rollers off though.
- It's not compatble with high pile carpet/rugs. The brushes will stop.
- The build quality is suprisingly poor. The plastic creaks, things that look like handles aren't for carrying the vacuum around.
- The chord is VERY long, which I like. You can plug it in a central location and reach nearly every room on the floor.
- It's easy to empty, but debris tends to get stuck in the filter quite a bit (especially pet hair). You may have to dig it out with your hand.
- The attachments work very well. If you have a dog the lint brush attachement will keep your couch nice and clean.
- It's a bit heavy, and like I said, the built quality makes you feel like you need to baby it when you lift it up.
- Everything is modular on it, so it's easy to repair and service.

All in all, I like the performance, but I don't think I'd buy another one. Similar models by Shark are made with better materials and have similar performance.

LMAO!

SD needs a better commenting award system! +Gold for you!

Actually the issue is with lower flow at the 3000psi rating. It reaches 3000psi, so it has good cleaning power, but the flow at 3000psi is low. For cleaning my fence, it's not really an issue vs my old gas powered Generac, but for cleaning concrete, the issue is that it's not able to wash the debris away. It cleans nearly as well as the gas washer did, but there's not enough water to wash away all the dirt that gets removed. So you'll wind up going over spots several times or following up with your garden hose to finish the job. So, the power is there, it'll just take some extra time for certain jobs. Overall, I'm satisfied with it for residential duty.

Should note I can't speak to the included surface cleaner as I use a Yamaha one that I already had. Lowest I've seen on this unit by itself was $300 which is when I bought it from Amazon last year, but if you need the accessories, this is a good deal for it.

Edit: For removing paint graffiti, it might be a tough ask. You'll probably have to use the narrowest nozzle. The surface cleaner won't be able to get that off. I tried removing utility marker paint with my old gas unit with the surface cleaner and it couldn't get it off.

Haha!

I feel every company needs a 10 year old boy on their marketing team as the Giggle Tester of new ideas. If he giggles...don't use it. Looking at you, Dick's Sporting Goods! Feel like I need to use Incognito Mode just to look for sports equipment. Don't want that search in my browser history!

I own this and recommend it. Free cloud features are pretty good and I had minimal false notifications when I was using the cloud. I have since blocked it from direct access to the internet to increase security, but I'm still able to connect directly to the camera from the app on my local network (or remotely from the app if I vpn into my home network).

I am going to use these. I will only use my left eye....... If it burns and I go blind, Walmart will get a stern telling off from me.
And I will still have my better right eye for daily use...... Hope I don't end up walking in circles.

Gotta be the best "new" graphics card for the price. Heck, even under like $280... 7600 is a little faster, but uses more power. 6650xt gives more fps than any 3060, but 3060ti is a little faster, has nvidia stuff if you need it, but uses more power and costs more. 🤷 ♂️
