Candid Review: Card on Guard solar sanitizer tube
It works. I don’t know the exact science, and I’ll do my best to explain some of it below, but the biggest thing you should take away from this review is that I’ve been using the Card on Guard tube in my pool for over a month, a little longer actually, and it works. While..

Apparently, we’ve been playing Monopoly wrong, and it should take forever
It's late-stage capitalism rearing its ugly head. One player has all the best properties and is taking all the rent. Everyone else is drowning in debt. It's supposed to be a fun-fucking board game! It's supposed to be a hoot and a laugh and a great time for the family! But now, everyone is pissed,..

I tried every Mitra9 flavor and these were my favorite
I’m not being funny. The new Mitra9 root beer and cream soda flavors in the mitragynine (kratom) seltzers are some of the most pleasant and unique drinks I’ve had in a long while. Generally, I’m a berry guy, and my favorite flavor is raspberry; blue raspberry, specifically. But these two flavors stood out, and I..

Candid Review: PuttAIM+
I am not a skilled golfer; more of a casual enjoyer. I used to have a full set of clubs, but I play so infrequently I gave them away. To complete the trifecta of anti-golf, I don’t usually play full-size courses. When I do play, it’s not competitive, by any means. I’m not obsessed with..

Bureo NetPlus is a reliable nylon material made from recycled fishing nets
Bureo NetPlus isn't a specific product. It's a recycled nylon material made from discarded and repurposed fishing nets. That removes plastic from our oceans, repurposes a material that would contribute to more waste, and reduces the environmental impact of an end-of-life product. While it's not a specific product that you can buy — over 35..
