Does it really makes a difference ?
I can't use it at all, but my partner loves it and now packs it when we go on trips.

#32A 96-sheet notebook + a Pentel needle-point pen. I've been feeling some strong headaches lately and the doctor's requested me to stay away from screens as much as possible. I've been using the notebook and this cheap yet nice pen to write down ideas and whatever. It's been a month now and the changes in terms of creativity and mental clarity are quite noticeable.

#35Hands down my choice is the Pinecil soldering iron: https://pine64.com/product/pinecil-smart-mini-portable-solde... It's less than $50, it runs FOSS (IronOS) so you own it, and it can be powered by USB or by via a barrel jack so it's ding dang handy.
Why does a soldering iron need an OS? I read the product page and I think I’m still missing something.

#37This box cutter tool, which is https://a.co/d/aOxoVOp . It makes opening packages so much easier. It doesn’t have a blade, so it’s much safer to use than scissors or a knife.
A better tool for basically the same price is a OLFA LA-X. It's a Japanese designed box cutter which has a retractable blade on one end and large dull metal pick on the other end for quickly stabbing packages open.

#38https://shokz.com/products/opencomm2 I am on conf calls and video chats for several hours per day. These are a product I would pay for until I die.
What’s the biggest improvement in your experience versus a more traditional setup? (Either over-ear with standalone mic or in-ear buds etc). Never tried bone conduction!

A toolset for a mechanic with an on-the-go lifestyle. Great to take to the local pick-n-pull.
