I got Dr Bronner's peppermint body wash of something after seeing Chinatown mention it a few times. I like it but holy poo poo does it hurt my balls/taint. Like, he said it gets tingly but no. It burns.

I have a sensitive taint and it should be treated with respect.

don't die thread this has been helping me.

I personally love the Ring doorbell that I got last christmas. When I'm at work I can see who's at the door and even talk to them. As someone that lives alone its comforting to know when someone is at the front door.

I also really love my Blink wifi battery operated security cameras. They run off AA batteries and have lasted a year so far with no need to replace them. Really saves money and time on installing cameras and I can arm and disarm them with my phone.

I'd link to them but i think both have newer versions available on amazon and I dunno if they are as good, but i bet they are.

my parents gave me one last christmas and I was like "ok...a vacuum" but it owns hardcore

no more dragging the cord, no more lugging a vacuum behind me that gets stuck in random places, just vacuuming my entire apartment in 10 minutes

thank you dyson, very cool

Yeah a cordless vacuum has improved my life drastically.

MY WIFE has sensitive skin, too. You should try the fragrance-free “baby” version of Dr. Bronners; it’s good.

If you're interested in electric kettles, make sure you get a variable-temperature one, so you can heat the water to the proper temperature when you're making coffee or tea.

Second most cherished thing in my household apart from my coffee machine is an automatic milk foamer for cappuccino. I just put some milk in, press a button an presto, perfect foam.

I dragged my feet paying 30 bucks for something that only foams milk for a long time, but not I'm glad of it ever single morning.

The gyms in Japan have these things and they seem mostly like an extremely complicated way to jiggle you. If you need to have parts of your thighs, butt, or abdomen jiggled there is no finer product.

I wouldn't ever brew anything in my kettle. Seems like it could stain it or leave leftover flavors behind. I only use it for water and then a vinegar solution to clean it every once in a while and then rinse it 10 times and do a few boiling cycles to get the vinegar out.

Citric acid [found with baking supplies in the supermarket] is dramatically more effective for kettle cleaning than acetic acid, and it smells a lot less objectionable too. Just throw a couple of teaspoons into a full kettle, bring it to the boil and rinse. Good as new.

It basically just jiggles you in a mildly vigorous manner. It'd be tough to masturbate with, but I suppose life finds a way.

My friend has a bug salt shotgun that he loves. It's just a little hand pumped compressed air rock salt thing but he always seems to have fun getting flies with it.

I bought these for my father and both of my brothers. It's important to note that they don't work well on hornets....

my immersion circulator (sous vide thing) loving rules and I use it all the time, I used to be god awful at judging times for things and nearly murdered my famil with undercooked meats, or disgusted them with overdone dry garbage, driving them further away from me

it turns out there is a better way

e. and I even have a no frills knockoff brand one from Amazon, no bluetooth or whatever, it just heats to a certain temperature and circulates water until I tell it to stop, still amazing

1/4" battery impact driver. I use Milwaukee since I already have their batteries and charger, but the Makita brand might actually be slightly better according to AvE

All my life I always used mini drills and normal drills for screws and small fasteners and only used 1/2" and larger impacts for the larger fasteners. After building a yard shed in Summer 2018 using impact for the wood screws, never again will I go back to a drill for anything but drilling.

I got this goofy bug vacuum kids toy thing. I couldn’t find a picture of the exact one I have but it’s something like this.

Just because I don’t like to kill spiders. It sucks them into a little cup with a built in magnifying glass so you can check em out.

I have one of those, I took out the magnifying lense and added a high voltage charging circuit to it and a death grid. Basically like a vacuum powered bug zapper that runs of AA batteries. Good for getting bugs out of the window sill, they explode real good.

Interesting. I prefer to relocate spiders rather than exploding them, but one time I caught a spider and saw a second spider so I sucked that one up too. What I didn’t occur to me is once they were in the chamber together, the bigger one would kill and devour the smaller one with shocking efficiency and speed. Spiders are cool.

I just like to make things that nobody has made before. I have a birdhouse painted by a 1st grader that I installed a food processor on to and a motion detector to turn it on. I would NEVER use it though, just wanted to make it. So, lots of weird poo poo.

As long as I am not using the self made lumber mill I am all for them. I have killed moles with my cars exhaust taped to a garden hose that was stuck in their tunnels.
