And gym at home equipment is completely sold out, at least here in Spain, except the very expensive.
Yeah, weight plates selling for $3-4 per pound. Usually less than $1. Can sell a few plates to recoop home gym. Strange times.

You can make your own yeast: https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/31/21199708/yeast-diy-baking...
You can do this and wait for days and pray you have not created some nasty poisonous culture. Or you can use human gut microbes to generate instant safe yeast.

#44Look no further than simple headsets. Wanted to have a light, cheap one from Sennheiser (one of those for 20 €) for homeoffice use. Sold out on Amazon. Estimated delivery mid or late May. And it's like that for all the inexpensive "business headphones". If you want some shiny-blinky-bulky-"gamer headset", Amazon will be happy to send you a dozen till tomorrow morning. It's crazy.

Monoprice is your friend. Single motors (cheaper) are OOS but dual motors and hand cranks are still available. Couldn't be happier with the dual motor I bought a few weeks ago.
Wouldn't the exercise from a hand crank be part of the point to a standing desk? I had an adjustable drafting table when I worked at Boeing and it never occurred to me that it needed a motor.
Of course, if the user doesn't need to regularly change between sitting and standing, that might not matter.

Yeah, I know. But it doesn’t seem worth it to buy a kg of flour just to make yeast for a single recipe ;)
I did this last weekend and made a pretty good loaf (my first time).

#47Yep the 920S has doubled in price. However oddly the high end Logitech models models (4K with face unlock for Windows) are still available.
It makes sense now I've seen it happen, but I've always associated food shortages with austerity - instead I'm suddenly buying premium organic free range duck eggs.

#50Seems to be the case across the board though, I bought some Microsoft LifeCam Studios because Microsoft had some in stock. But couldn't find much else anywhere else.
