    Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.

    Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.

    Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I’d had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven’t had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.

    Elmlea plant based double cream

    We’ve been drinking heavy cream/double cream/whipping cream in our coffee for years but started trying out some plant based alternatives to a lot of our foods a few years ago. The only one we kept going with was this cream. Exact same cost as the dairy version, and tasted exactly the same.

    I wish I could speak towards other brands, this was the only one we tried and stuck with it. I think it might be UK only though…

    My mind was blown when I found this little plastic ball in a sports store which you can put between your back and a wall and you can massage yourself. It works wonders within even seconds of using it. It’s only a few euro and I used to waste hundreds of euro on massages. And you can take it anywhere because it’s small and light.

      My doctor prescribed me a lacrosse ball for a bad shoulder once, for exactly what you described. It’s slightly rubbery but really dense, and it’s apparently the perfect thing for tight muscles.

      This sounds like either fashion advice or cooking advice, and I don’t want to know which is is! I’ll ask the wife if she’s tried “sugaring” over waxing and see how she responds.

        It’s skin advice, lol. If you’re looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.

        I get a Brazilian done, so I go to a professional to do it. I know you can do it at home, and I might try my legs or pits that way. But not a Brazilian, lol. I do know it’s easy to make. Googling how to make it will show lots of results.

  • Not exactly sell but Linux tbh. I feel like most people would agree with all the justifications I have but am too drunk to type for not using Microsoft or Apple but simply are not aware of how much these monopolies of the tech market encroach on their privacy. More people need to be aware and take action

      I have the CharaChorder One, the Lite, and the ‘X’. The Lite is a bit problematic with having to move your hands into awkward configurations to chord. This made me realize that in order to use it, get the CharaChorder One and take the learning plunge. No more moving your hands to other keys as the One switches are 4 directional.

      It took about 2 weeks with an hour or so nightly practice, but it was worth it to learn it. Chording has still been another learning process on top of the already mentioned. Overall, a time and cost investment in my health to scale back carpal tunnel and it has helped with the amount that I type. You really have to commit to a niche keyboard, but it saves on your hands and can shortcut typing. I found it a worthwhile move for my purposes, but YMMV.

      I honestly can’t see anyone but an insignificant fraction of the general population ever using this.

      There are only a few people who would benefit from taking the time to learn a how to use this contraption and even fewer who would bother.

      It also has an ambidextrous mode where you can set all the normal keys to one side of the keyboard, which is, again, great for accessibility, but also if you want to have your free hand on a mouse or… something… else…

      Yes! I have been looking for a solution to use my joystick in this scenario! TY kind lemming!

    Many older and/or casual gamers who’ve stopped following gaming and are living under the idiomatic rock would absolutely love a steam deck. And a significant portion of those would find it an upgrade over their laptop for Office and shit.

      Old linux gamer here. Got steam deck asap when it came out, because my old tabletop for office and shit had an ssd failure.

      Loving it.

      Although newest AAA games will be too much for the steam deck quite soon, but as a linux gamer I’ve been without newest AAA games before, so no biggy.

      Less hardware demanding indie games are on the rise.

      Will a steam deck run Satisfactory? I’m wanting to buy one because it would be great fun to carry a bunch of my games with me.

        I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard setup on my deck to run fps and 4x games, hell most of the games, and satisfactory ran great on the deck(my only reference point is a 5 year old laptop that continues to chug along, satisfactory ran as well, if not better, on the deck than it does on the laptop)

        Before the unreal engine 5 update it ran great. Haven’t tried after, though, could still be ok.

      I actually recently got an ROG Ally cause I have prepaid GamePass and felt I was just watching TV instead of playing. I felt so guilty wasting my subscription and watching good games come and go. But once I got the Ally, I’ve been playing more than I ever been since I was a kid. Even when the wife is watching her shows I can just chill with her playing games.
