It goes well with a High Density Foam Mattress. I never wake up with low back aches since I started using a mattress of this material.
Kagi search engine subscription is easily my top choice ( https://kagi.com ). I'm really glad something can finally, truly replace Google search and be just as good or better (neither Bing nor DuckDuckGo were good enough when I tried them). If we're talking physical products, I'd probably go with the Apple Magsafe wallet. It's a little thing but I love not having a separate wallet to keep track of every day.
Has anyone tried YOU.com? It's my new favorite search engine. Wiping Google from my searches is great.
I paid a guy a bit under $200 to pull Ethernet cables from my basement up to the attic of my house. Now I can keep heat-generating stuff like my storage server and the cable modem (surprisingly heat-intensive) in the basement, have a WiFi AP in the attic for great coverage in the yard, and I can easily drop lines down into rooms on the 2nd floor from above by just drilling a small hole in the top of a wall and feedin…
$100 to connect 2 drops. Plug it in and it works. (change the admin password tho!) https://www.amazon.com/Hitron-Ethernet-existing-Backbone-Str...
As silly as it sounds, this water warmer for baby bottles: https://a.co/d/hhJzLBn Nothing's worse than trying to mix the perfect water temperature at 3 AM while the baby is screaming, waking up the rest of the family. (We use pre-boiled water for the baby's bottles, so it's not as easy as adjusting a tap.) We bought this after we had our second baby and it's made feeding the baby slightly less stressful.
One tiny remote does everything, and damn cheap.
Sodastream. Has significantly increased the amount of water i drink and conversely decreased other crap being drunk High end ricecooker ended up getting more use than expected. USB KVM style switch to change mouse/kyb over between work and personal device
I use a USB switch to swap mouse/keyboard/webcam, but I switch my main monitor between two inputs manually because if I use a monitor switch, then once I swap it to my work computer, Windows detects the monitor is gone and moves all my windows to the second monitor (Which is also a different resolution and has different scaling, so they also all get resized) which is a pain in the ass. I know you can get so-called "a…
A bit more than $200- An Oura ring. Some quantitative insight around sleep, heart rate, heart rate variation, temperature, etc. SUPER interesting to see how things change when sick, drink alcohol, etc. Also- I confess to not minding the tone/language the product uses for coaching purposes. It is not an asshole. Relatedly, tracking food/calories/water consumption in the (free- no need to pay them) Noom app has been us…
A one-hour shopping session with a personal stylist, at about $175. I desperately wanted to break out of my t-shirt/blue jeans habit, but parsing clothes sizes, trying things on, and getting opinions is equal parts sorcery and torture for me. (I'd tried Stitch Fix and felt like it wanted to reinforce my habits rather than break me out of them.) After sending her details about my problems and the kinds of styles I adm…
I don't want to belittle your experience as stylists can be helpful for achieving a certain look, but often department stores (especially Nordstrom) have sales associates trained as stylists. They will spend a lot of time helping you with your style for free, albeit you'll probably want to buy from that particular store. Nordstrom clothes are a bit on the pricier end, but ~most~ are often good quality.
I might be missing the point but aren't you talking upwards of $200+ per outfit (shirt, pants) when shopping at stores like this?
An air fryer. It’s really a badly marketed product. Its real utility isn’t that it uses less oil, but that it cooks incredibly fast. Essentially an oven on steroids. It’s made cooking so much easier. I usually toss some boneless chicken in with a light coating of soy sauce and cornflour. While the chicken cooks, I prep a basic Asian sauce on the stovetop. The chicken and the sauce are both done within 10-15 minutes.…
> Its real utility isn’t that it uses less oil, but that it cooks incredibly fast. > The chicken and the sauce are both done within 10-15 minutes. Normal sized boneless chicken breasts should cook in a pan in about 10 minutes or less, and you really don't need to do anything other than flip them once. If air fryers are convincing people to cook their own fresh food I would say that's a good thing, but I'm still strug…
