        @argonaut @kevin @stefan Iโ€™ve been using double walled tumblers for years since my parents got me a set as a gift. They are great and donโ€™t โ€œsweatโ€

          @kevin I installed #ZorinOS (a Linux distribution) on an old desktop and now I can work with it and play with it, without looking up every 5 min "how to deactivate Copilot"

          (It was actually free, not bought but I might buy the pro version at some point, once it has improved a bit on some aspects)

            When playing the long game? Probably, when I exchanged my toothbrush the last time.

              $30 IKEA Alpstuga - Best value CO2 air quality sensor.

              CO2 may affect cognitive performance. Lets you know if you should open windows, turn on fan, or walk outside (especially with bad air circulation at work). Stepping stone to deciding to buy air filter.

              If you like it as a clock, itโ€™s a no brainer.

                  $20 Portable Air Compressor

                  So much more convenient than looking for quarters and going to a gas station every time the temperature changes and the tire warning lights in the cars freak out.

Upgraded the other day to a new pair and manโ€ฆ so much better QOL in terms of comfort and I have a substantially lower chance of slipping on my ass when I go get the mail now. Total price shippedโ€ฆ $42.78

                              @kevin that's hard.

                              • Does it have to be for me?

                              If so, I'd say a nice shirt (โ‚ฌ24,99) that landed me a job.

                                  @kevin shower timer in the shape of a duck that quacks when it goes off.

                                  Under $20

                                  Has dramatically shortened how long my tween spends in the shower and eliminated the need for my wife or I to be time keeper/nag to get the shower to finish.

                                  Amazing how big an impact <$20 can have (paying for itself in the water savings as well as the stress/time savings)

                                          @kevin a $3 artist's palette knife works wonders in workshop/DIY applications. So many times it's been the right tool for a fiddly job.
