Yeah I ain't looking forward to it...

P.S. Whatever happened to that new mattress thread/discussion? I think it's time to renew. Looking forward to that research even less.
For what it's worth, some very picky people I know went with Saatva. They have a showroom here in the city

https://www.saatva.com/
We have one - Purchased it in 2021. Highly recommend. Got the adjustable frame with massage.
Which one? Been reading lots of issues with Saatva sagging after the first few years. Dis fudge is truly overwhelming. Thinking of getting something at Costco since I have a friend who got a mattress there, and they were able to get it picked up, and replaced at no extra charge after the bed got wonky a year in.
Loom & Leaf = King Relaxed Firm. Also bought a Cocoon by Sealy for our guest bedroom and heard nice things about that one as well.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

dealers can't give EV's away in this area (days on hand is triple)- would have suggested used

you could find a used bolt for less than 10g, 15k miles....(just make sure the battery recall completed)

kind of surprised you found a great priced lease, some financial institutions, won't even lease
(don't want to get stuck with them at return when the residual value is half :lol: )

you're in a cold area - let us know how charging goes

Kind of amazing.

Upon analysis of 73,257 NFT collections, the authors found that 69,795 have a market cap of zero Ether (ETH), the second most-popular cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin. In practical terms, that means 95 percent of NFTs wouldn’t fetch a penny today — a spectacular crash for assets that reached a trading volume of $17 billion amid a frenzied bull market in 2021. The study estimates that some 23 million investors own these tokens of no practical use or value.

Interestingly, I still get daily, or almost daily, emails from…. Nifty something. So there must be something going on? Not even sure why I receive the emails because I never read them.

Adults should be able to make adult decisions. That also includes dealing with the consequences of those decisions, IMHO at least

I've had tinnitus for years. I happened across a YT audio for sound therapy. After testing 20 or so different waveforms, frequencies, etc, finally found one that provides temp relief. Wish there was a cure for it. Just throwing this 'out there' in case someone else needs/wants to give it a try.

Tinnitus is awful. My ears blew out taking my daughter to see NSYNC at the Rose Bowl. Never the same since.

This channel with masking music gives me temp relief. My tinnitus is high pitch. I tried some w/out masking music (only white noise) and they weren't as effective for me... maybe b/c the pitch isn't high enough. Dunno' how it all works.
