A laser thermometer. No, I don't know why. What I do know, however, is the precise temperature of everything, living or otherwise, in line of sight of my chair...

Purchased at 2105 this evening. Prime delivery is scheduled for tomorrow (monday). In fact ordered two, one as a present.
Arrived at 1130 this morning. I can confirm the pet rabbits have an external temperature of 18.5 degrees. Great fun. Will be useful.
Mine arrived today as well. I'm happy to report the wife's arse was 4 degrees less than her right tit.
No no no no no.... must not look.... no need whatsoever for this... No. No.
Yup, bought. Also, the guys that sit near me are also now waiting for theirs to be delivered.

I have wanted a 360 camera ever since the original Samsung Gear 360 was available. I happened to be looking at them last night and noticed the 2017 version is being released on 12/05 or 7 days early if you pre order.
Order was placed straight away and it includes a 128 GB micro SD card (currently £45 on Amazon) and it has just been shipped today.

Then, had the brainwave of using it on my drone (it has a 1/4 thread underneath) so ordered an anti vibration mount so I can attach it to my Phantom.

Can't wait.

Mine has just arrived and I can confirm that the dog is 2 degrees warmer than the cat and that some body parts are considerably warmer than others.

I shall never get bored of this new toy

Aim it at some brake discs after a run, that should max its value out.

Not one of those but had one of the programmable message ones.

Like these you only have 8 lines I think so I did some retro game graphics






They're surprisingly good although one of them packed up after a bit of use.

You could get the clock one cheaper here

I am so disappointed that these only work with Samsung and iOS devices. There doesn't seem to be another the beat it for price, quality and functionality. frown

Walking through the electronics store @ Schiphol this afternoon and walked out with these:

https://www.whathifi.com/sony/mdr-1000x/review

Had absolutely no intention to buy anything of the sort, but they were on offer and once I'd tried them I didn't really want to take them off.

They are incredible!
I find thay have good prices on bose noise canceling ones as well.

I've been reading the laster thermometer comments to my husband for a few days. After telling him the latest ones he sighed and said 'You'd best order me one'.
You can expect to know my temperature, and indeed the temperature of anything within a half mile radius by tomorrow evening rolleyes

Regrettably, the delightful figurine, chair, carpet and purple paint do not come as part of the package.

I did, however, also buy this rug:



Not quite as frivolous as very few rooms in the new house have carpets.
