    @kevin search engine's incognito mode subscription is only $7/month and might not have changed my life, but it got me here

        I bought a little metal "fork" that holds open a music book while I'm playing guitar. It's great! Simple, single-purpose, I'll have it forever.

                @kevin some beeswax conditioner. It's been a dry winter this season.

                  @kevin for $27, this camera that goes in my car and lets me see my kid. It sounds silly (“just get one of those mirrors”), but it’s legitimately so nice to have a clear view of the baby in the backseat

                      @kevin Got this little tiny rechargeable flashlight for $20. At first I thought "No way I'm going to really use this, but let me carry this around and see how it goes". Now, I'm using it several times a day, it's incredible. Ended up buying one for literally every member of our family. https://www.wubenlight.com/products/wuben-g5-edc-light

                          @kevin Oh and I guess the other thing that comes to mind is a Google Cloud API key + gemini-cli for vibe-coding side projects/hustle. Spent about $30 so far and have a maybe fully automated pipeline to autogenerate youtube videos.
