A frustration with regular toasters is when the dial gets moved and you don't know it and your level of toasting changes.
This toaster solves that. The display shows you the toasting time. and can be adjusted in 15 to 20 second increments.
There is a cancel button that will stop and eject.

I replaced my Titanium AfterShokz because my new puppy chewed them up. They had excellent sound. However, the Aeropex are a next level up.
I really like the button on the left bow that you can press once to pause and press twice to skip to the next song.
Very comfortable for long wear, works will with glasses.
The only drawback, which is also a benefit, is that they project a little behind your head so wearing a stocking cap can be conflicted.
However, unlike some other brands not having the back side press against your head makes them more comfortable for long term wear.

The blanket is essential for smoking in cold weather.
In cold temps around 32F it greatly reduced pellet consumption greatly decreased variations in the smoker temperature.

Professional all the way across the board.
Setting up a TV is not necessarily a difficult task. But when you purchase a large expensive TV you do not want to take the chance that you did something wrong and it does not work after you set it up.

Great second controller.
The PS5 controllers are excellent and have good battery life. However, this is a second one so when the first one loses power I can keep playing.
Also, great to have when a friend comes over to play

I work in the middle of a large metal building w/many walls, which makes the company wifi signal very weak in my office. Can I use this to connect the ethernet cable for my computer, then add another router to provide a strong wifi signal in my office?
It should not be an issue to connect a long Ethernet cable to the switch to get a route to your computer. However, if you can get the cable all the way to your computer you would be better off

Control Standard Edition - Xbox One
From the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake comes Control, a third-person action-adventure game combining Remedy's trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities, giving the player the ability to approach each situation in their own way. Control is set in a unique ever-changing world, juxtaposing the strange and unpredictable with the mundane. A supernatural enemy has taken possession, and you must use your unique abilities to take back Control. Welcome to the Federal Bureau of Control.
Why no release date when the release date was announced for August 27 2019. That is from multiple sources.
Does it really matter if the release day on the web site is updated right away when the release is still four month away.

There are models that support the various platforms. However, they should all have a 3.5mm jack. But I do not think you get top end sound quality via the 3.5mm.
