Sansa Sandisk - Bought it for 25 USD ten years back. Listened hundred of audio books. I am still using it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanDisk_Sansa Edit: Updated wiki link
The whole Sansa line was pretty awesome.
Thanks for that.
A Fujitsu S1500 ScanSnap, dual-sided, document scanner (now discontinued, replacement might be the iX1600). Completely changed how I manage my personal documents (e.g. financial, invoices, receipts, product manuals, medical info, business docs, recreation and hobby stuff, etc). Anything remotely important, I scan to PDF, which triggers automatic OCR that is reasonably accurate, then I upload the PDF to Google Drive,…
Does anyone have a suggestion for a dual-sided feed scanner like this which can be used to semi-automate document scanning and which is not discontinued? I've been thinking about this for a while but I don't know enough about the market
Most waterpiks are super huge, but with the portable waterfloser, I can bring it in a restaurant with me and clean my teeth after I eat.

I've found the extended features of paid Lose It, mainly protein tracking, to be worthwhile but I wish it wasn't a yearly subscription.

It looked good and fit well for quite a few years and for not a lot of $$. Lots of pockets too. Nothing else more interesting than that :)
Having inside pockets in a jacket was the best thing I discovered in my adolescence. Never turning back. Not having inside jacket pockets are a deal breaker for a jacket.
A vacuum insulated water bottle. It reminds me to drink more water and it stays cold the entire day.
Ear-plugs for when I sleep. I used to wake up at the slightest noise, which made me extra groggy the next day. Now I can sleep soundly.
Which ones?
31 to 33 decibel NRR, not the 20 NRR ones. Human speech is ~55 decibels.

NOW BOARDING FLIGHT 1345 SREEEEEECH TO LONDON HEATHROW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT! BEEP. BOOP!
NOW REPEATING WHAT I JUST SAID IN 6 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!

Do make sure you're at your gate before inserting. Trust me.
*Air travel really was a thing before the spring of 2020. I swear it was.

Where do you park in the night?
I find a spot in a national forest and make it my home for a week or seven. If it has decent cellular reception, I can stay there indefinitely, until I run out of supplies, usually water. No one messes with you in the forest. We woodsies know every Honda minivan also has 12-gauge shotgun inside, for squirrels, tasty, tasty squirrels, and errant humans crazy enough to walk up to your van at night. :) Just stay out of…
Somewhere, people have collected this wisdom, I'm sure. Any pointers?
Every self-proclaimed environmentalist (I consider myself a steward and ecologist not an environmentalist) trying to change entire global economics should just try drying their damn clothes with the sun, and push for laws that allow it akin to right to repair.
I also don't use a dishwasher. Utter waste of energy and water. And guess what? That pot you're going to boil water in next time doesn't need to be sanitized. Wipe it out with a dish rag and put it away. The boiling water the next time you cook your specialty frufru pasta flown in from Italy will kill any germs.
