For like 10 years I have kept a copy of the Pocket Ref in my glove compartment, and another in my work bag. It's full of all kinds of interesting and useful information, particularly if you work in a technical field. In one tiny book I can find every area code in the country, standard hand signs for boom lift operators, Morse code, and first aid information. I know Google exists, but I don't always have reception and it's nice to have an analog backup.

I managed to get a graphite colour chug bottle and ended up matching both. for my reusables the best tip learnt is get yourself a 100 pack of dental cleaners, the little fizzy foaming tablets. the first time I dropped one into my tea flask it removed a 3 year build up of stains like nothing. super cheap and super easy. usually do it once every week with my tea flask and once a month for water ones.

They know. bug-a-salt is a fun doohickey but if you want the same experience without ordering some contraption just use your normal kitchen detergent in a spray bottle on stream setting (turn the nozzle) not only does it do the job of stopping flies that get inside, it also disinfects the area they'd been sitting on when you blast them

Bidets are great, but tbh I prefer the kind of bum gun that Blow and RBL got. I appreciate the manual aim. Also while we're still doing toilet talk, massive shoutout to both slow-close toilet lids and squatty potty stools. I might not have the money, interest, or real estate for 3O-style smart lighting setups or crazy keyless cars, but my rear end feels well taken care of and that's enough for me.

Do people look at you like you're insane when you pull out your rubber band of cards? I feel like that could be downside in comparison to a normal wallet.

It's not some unknown item or anything but several posters have mentioned lighting and I'd have to agree that it's something most people seem to overlook or not think about. It doesn't even have to be smart or fancy lighting. Simply buying more appropriate bulbs for the rooms you put them in can make a huge difference in how the room looks or feels. Too common I see people just buying the brightest bulbs possible, when most of the time, if you don't need the bright light to do work, dimmer lighting is much more calming and inviting. Also, choosing the right color temperature can make the colors in a room pop, or even downplay the colors you don't want to be noticed.

My ultimate dream is not a fancy car or whathaveyou, it's to own a Toto toilet with the bidet built in. Not the Toto washlet - that's just the bidet part by itself and is what most people know of. But if you've ever seen a Toto showroom, you'll know they sell the world's finest toilets. And ever since I tried one at the Japanese consulate in NYC, I've craved one. Not only can you control the bidet water temperature with a quick toggle, they've got built in fans to blow your butt dry afterwards. Theyre shaped for easy cleaning - you can just wipe them down instead of having to get up under your toilet to clean out the crevices. Toto toilets are so good, you'll want to just hang out in your bathroom, like these people: https://youtu.be/wjs3br8cDng

I have a few light sources in my room and most of the time use some mix of the middle & low intensity lights, and it's very cozy. My roommates are all maximum brightness all the time people though, and I hate it. Staggering out of bed on a dark winter morning into the living room and turning on the lights and it's like a CIA interrogation, blinding and disorienting.

I end up googling Ph and Mohs weirdly often as well as the conversion tables for basically everything imperial-metric. Loads for different kinds of rope and towing are pretty important even if they don’t get used often. Basically thanks, that book is extremely my poo poo even though I can tell there are a couple chapters I’m never going to use

I've read one during downtime at work, has weights of materials, tensile/concrete strengths, lots of insulation r ratings, construction or engineering stuff. Just a good little cheat sheet for lots of stuff especially for people who work with their hands. A good zero gravity chair is pretty neat, I forgot my tent poles while camping once and slept in one all weekend and loved it. I'm ready for a 4-6k bed as soon as I pay this car off. I splurged on a 10 year warranty herman miller aeron computer chair and a standing desk. OLED TV LG C2 and the freesync OLED ultra wide Alienware monitor. Good stereo and headphones. This is turning into out yourself for items people want to rob thread.

As a reader of the printer thread I can vouch for this advice, sometimes they are called led laser/ Led color printer but that should be equivalent for reliability/quality and no bullshit.
