Carabiner-chat: have you tried Heroclips? Right now I'm just seeing them on Amazon but I was sure I used to give them in outdoor outfitters. Basically a carabiner with an open folding hook/hangar. So when you want to hang your backpack it just loops over. https://a.co/d/aUZ9lnW

This is probably really silly but: Toaster tongs! Open enough to retrieve your toast without crushing it, wide enough not to clumsily flip it, bamboo so you're not sticking metal in a toaster, and they got a little magnet on the side so you can stick it to your toaster or fridge. I got baby hands that get burnt extra easily, so I love these loving things.

Liquid skin/bandage, it's exactly what it says on the tin. You literally brush some on a cut or scrape and in a matter of seconds you have a flexible waterproof bandage that even works great on knuckles. I don't even bother with using a normal bandage any more unless it's something problematic enough that gauze should be involved

Then I submit this! This is the best lip balm I've ever used. Only thing that has stopped any instances of angular cheilitis for me. Also Sentient Data posted:Liquid skin/bandage, it's exactly what it says on the tin.

I don't even bother with using a normal bandage any more unless it's something problematic enough that gauze should be involved 100%. I use it on particularly fine cuts that reopen easily, like paper cuts and cat scratches on joints. They have a burn variant that also rocks.

Tired of your kitchen trash bag falling into the trash can? Get some of those 3M Command Strip plastic hooks,attach one upside down to each side of the bin, and loop the trash bag drawstring through them. Voila! Your trash bag will stay put.

Standby drain adds to your power bill, and manually turning off the peripherals on a PC/Home system sucks, so get an automatic main-follow power strip. Once it registers that you've turned off the power of the device that is connected to your main plug (your PC or TV), your monitors and other peripherals connected to the follower plugs will be cut off from power automatically. A foldable bike. Awesome if you live in a big city / use public transport / are tired of your bike being stolen. No more locking your bike up, just take that thing wherever you go. I use my Brompton for my daily commute (6 miles), shopping trips, and other errands. Got my goon-body back into cycling after an almost 10-year hiatus. Those tiny Knipex Cobra pliers (specifically the 125s). A Japanese cardboard box cutter (by Hasegawa).

Literally A Person posted:If you love doing loud poo poo and hate going deaf these: I just want to second this poo poo. I have a higher noise sensitivity than literally anybody I've ever met, misophonia, whatever you want to call it. Recently I moved to the inner city because I am a loving moron, and the foamies I've used my entire life were practically useless. My dad had given me a pair of these last time I visited him and I dug these out on my first night of hell and holy poo poo they did the job and I immediately ordered some more. They also seem to irritate my ears less / less friction. Also, if anyone reading this thinks they suffer from the same dumb problems I have and something has them at their wits end, a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones is legitimately the best investment I've made in years for my mental health. I'm not talking about some $50 pair on Amazon, it's just not going to do the job, so don't let that act as a measure for what to expect. I've only tried one pair of headphones, ever, that has worked like this, and I'm sure there are more, but I'm going to recommend the ones that I know and that is the Sony XM series. I have the XM2's, but seems they're already up to XM5's. XM2's are pretty much unavailable, you can find XM3's here and there - Here are the XM4's. These are sanctuary to the point that just knowing I have them to retreat to helps me tolerate noise longer.

just kick so much rear end. I can't really wear over the ear earpro comfortably and these goofy little things have been amazing. Not as tough feeling as the foam ones and not as hard to put in as the molded ones but still stop the 3 days of tinnitus from playing music at unacceptable volumes.

^ If you got big ole ears, the XM5 is one of the only products on the market that will fit properly.

Speaking of keys, if you have ADHD and want to spend 100% less time playing "where the gently caress are my keys??!" as you leave the house, these are great. I have the wallet one too for a similar problem

Bought the pack of those with two buttons, key ring, and wallet insert a few years back and it was such a great purchase. No more stressing about being late for stuff because she can't find her keys/wallet/dexcom, whatever else. Edit: plus if you can't find your phone, they all have a button on them that makes your phone ring, even if it's on silent. Kinda spendy, but totally worth it.

Good headphones are an incredible investment and despite all the review poo poo there is not a "good headphone", there is a good set for you. My husband absolutely swore that there were no comfortable earbuds for him. Until I bought him a pair of Sony WF-1000XM4s, he absolutely loves them. I tried them, I thought there my Airpod Pros with foam tips were everything, I bought myself a pair of WF-1000XM4s and use them pretty both constantly. The weird Sony ring things are amazing for listening to podcasts when you might also want to have interact with people, like say waiting around at a car dealership. Nothing Ear 1, they sound good, they have ANC, I know they were cheap enough that I won't be too upset if they get lost so I bring them places I wouldn't bring my AirPod's Pro and WF-1000XM4s.
