They are good but do they still make them find it hard to find them
I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went “KACHONK” and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.
I have one of those Japanese nail clippers. I’m wondering how they make it cut so softly. Like even if it didn’t eat the nails they wouldn’t launch. Best clippers ever, even if it’s harder to get the edges.
I’m betting that it almost all comes down to sharpness and using better metal (harder, keeping it sharp)
Well Wet Bob, you made me laugh.
Bought a Rovyvon keychain flashlight I believe was around $20 that’s amazing. It’s Iike 650 lumens or something and it’s tiny so I just have it on my keychain and turn it on at night if I need it in a jiffy.
Thinkpad T440p docking station, I get everything these days is USB C but I love having a docking station thats sturdy and has tons of ports vs a dongle that hangs off the side of my laptop and has maybe six ports.
Managed to pick up an attachable bidet toilet washlet for around $16. Worth every penny.

- slicer for round fruits
- large 1l cup (not that small ^^)
- book light with attachment
Why not get a small 1l cup instead?
I have the medium sized, it’s great!
Love is a bit of an overstatement, but I got a cheap Walmart brand USB hub for my laptop since it only has a single USB male (female?) port and I needed more for my mouse and thumb drives. Definitely worth it to ensure I could save work to my thumb drive at college.
Male: with connector outside (like penis) Female: with connector inside (like vagina)

A pi zero w. Need a wireless Android Auto adapter? Flash the right image. Need a Klipper controller for a 3D printer, flash the right image. Need to add a wireless thumb drive to any device that you can drop files to over the network? Flash the right image and run a few commands. They are very cheap and insanely versatile. I originally got a handful for $5 each and am still finding uses for them.
I’m gonna go buy one for that wireless android auto, I never even considered a dongle let alone a DIY pi dongle! do you have a link for that wireless thimbdrive one too? and/or is there an easy way to browse other interesting images/tasks you can do with the pi zero w?

It gives instructions for starting from a desktop OS, I just started with a headless OS to begin with. Then you can skip disabling the desktop and go straight to setting it up.
I use it for sending files to my resin 3D printer that doesn’t have wifi built in. I just power on the printer before I prep files and then I can save them to the printer over the network.
For finding more uses, probably searching Hack-a-Day. That’s probably how I’ve found these over the years.
I’ve got two just lying around. What image can I use for the Android auto adapter?
Laser pointer
Its amazing for both tasks related and unrelated to playing with my cat
I keep an extremely small 64GB USB-A/USB-C flash drive on my Keychain so I can move files between phones, phone to computer, or load movies and TV shows from a computer or phone and plug into a TV to play.
It’s only $10 and sometimes it’s very convenient to always have on hand the ability to move files around without the use of a network or the cloud or whatever. The size of it is extremely small.

So simple to siphon off stuff from the phone like photos to back up! And load it full with films.
It’s crazy how everything is so locked in.
Why I’m holding onto my note 20 ultra for the foreseeable future as well. Last samsung flagship with an SD card slot. It holds all my pictures, videos, and TV shows and movies on that little card.
This is good.
Also, though it’s more than $10, but my phone battery has gone to shit lately (f u Google for your shit pixels), and my anker mini power bank is carrying me right now: https://a.co/d/5lmsCiI
Not a pixel, but I literally just replaced my note 20 ultra battery like 2 hours ago. I have all the equipment and knowhow to rip phones apart that don’t want to let you. I believe most of the pixels aren’t too bad to get into and battery replace if you ever get a wild hair in you to give it a shot. Just fyi, go with an oem battery. Pretty much all aftermarket ones are terrible. Also be careful of the loads of counterfeits and used sold as new batts on eBay.
Did you just get everything from ifixit or what?
No, but it’s a great source to get stuff if they can get the parts, and all their tools should work well. If their batteries aren’t OEM ones, they won’t try to pass them off as such.
I’ve been fixing cell phones since the 90’s, along with a lot of other electronics, so most of my equipment has been a hodge-podge of sources I’ve collected over the past 25 or so years.
In the case of the battery I just got for my N20 Ultra, there is no source I could come up with that sold in the US and also seemed verifiable or completely trustworthy so I had to take a risk and order through a supplier off ebay. The pictures looked legit and like what I know the oem’s look like, and they had the correct looking adhesive and protective coverings on the batt, plus I messaged the seller back and fourth a couple of times and they stayed on their claim they had new oem batts, even after I’d mentioned I would capacity test the battery and leave them a review.
Now, I still won’t know for sure for a few more days. I’ll drain the batt to phone shut off and then charge to 100% plus 2 more hours a couple times, and then drain to shut off and charge it to 100% + 2 hours one more time while leaving the phone off and using my in line voltage/mah tester. Knock off batteries never get very close to an oem batts capacity.
My wife has a different style by them and it has served her very well for two years.

DYMO Embossing Label Maker
They’re like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they’re also my go-to for white-elephant parties.
Once I went on leave and the fella who filled in for me got a few complaints that he was slow. He said it was because I hadn’t labelled my store room properly. I added a few dymo labels around the place. The next time I went on leave he got a few more complaints and gave the same explanation, so I added a few more. After the third time I left the room looking like this picture and he shut up.
I’m not sure if that says LEGO or LEAD
I guess I should rephrase.
I label a lot of boxes and spice containers but nothing unhinged lol
Uhh, dildo.
You need to step your dildo game up if you’re still using the $20 ones.
I’ve got some nicer ones, but I’d really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker.

I’m a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.
You’re a brave person.
To be fair, one is a brand and the other two just sound right.
Yeah I hear you, my partner and I have been pricing them for awhile but haven’t bitten the bullet and gotten one yet.
We just started in on the Bad Dragons so a machine is probably still a little ways off but it’s definitely on the wish list!
Bad Dragon just seems too big.
I thought so too but they actually have some really reasonable sizes.
I’d definitely consider their “small” ones “regular” size though you know? I’m just trying to spice things up in the bedroom not make OnlyFans content.
I should mention I’m a dude. Absolute max circumference for me is 5.5cm.
Why. What does it get you?
Maybe you can get better quality ones for that price if you go second hand?
I’d love a second hand. Maybe a third
