Bidet.
Yeah. I said it.
Can confirm. Lemmy suggested it. I got it. I hate going anywhere othet than at home.
Travel bidet. You’re welcome.
Bidet gang represent
Hey, no judgement from my end Mr. Clean Cheeks.
That’s a Cadillac of bidets. I’ve got just standard ones on 2 different toilets in my house, and I didn’t pay more than $40 for either of them.
Suggestions?
This is not exactly like the one I’ve got, but it’s pretty similar.
It attaches to your existing toilet & seat.
LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus The hinges are great for cleaning.
Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.
These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I’m going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.
Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It’s crazy how bright out it is at night.
This is 12:30AM just after midnight.What the-? How far up there are you?
I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!
I’m 61°N, the sun barely sets in the summer. Today, sun rises at 3:51, sets at 23:14. It’s proper dark for maybe 2 hours
51° N. I’m also on the fourth floor of a building, so the horizon is farther away. I’m exaggerating a little bit. By “still up” I really mean it’s still bright enough out, twilighty, that it would affect my ability to sleep. Bedroom window also faces
eastwest, so, yeah it’s a combination of factors but still.It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?
Sorry I’m just dumb, I meant that it faces west lmao.
No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.
I feel you, I’ve got a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window! lol
I grew up 2 blocks from a train station that would start running routes every 10 min starting at 5:30 or so. Oh boy I can’t believe I slept through it as a kid, I wouldn’t be able to now without re-acclimating.
For me it’s a sleep mask, but I also understand that that misses the gentle wake up part. But I love that I can bring my sleep mask anywhere which you can’t do with curtains
Toss on a cheap sound machine and it’s the best.
LSD
where can I get it?
Hang around a dive bar and look for people who work in kitchens.
That’s how you get coke
If they know where to get coke, they know where to get other stuff
Order online
thanks, I’ll check Amazon
This is the real answer haha, its very difficult to do it right to keep proper opsec but easy enough ocne you do it once but the legit markets for them have people with business-like conduct and its all very confidence inspiring with reviews and stealth packaging and everything.
I knew someone who died in high school because he got hunted down basically for selling or buying drugs or something to people in person, can only recommend fully private anonymous ways of doing illegal things.
Not to mention your money goes farther because its not as far down the supply chain.
If you have any lake parks nearby look for someone that’s kinda hippie looking. Either that or just go to a rave, even outside of it, everyone there will know someone
A Game Genie
Or a game shark.
I see what you did there.
My partner bought me a SNES Game Genie for my birthday years ago and now I have all of the Game Genies!
Bidet attachment for your toilet bowl. Trust me, you’ll never go back.
Agree, but splurge and get one that has a water heater. No one wants cold water sprayed there.
Eh. Cold water is fine. I’ve been using cold water for years.
Warm water is nicer, but cold water is fine.
LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus The hinges are great for cleaning.
Yeah mine was just 30 €. You never have to manually clean your ass ever again because the thing just does it for you!
Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.
got a pair at Costco for 70$
didn’t know multiconection Bluetooth existed and they are a game changer as well. also noise cancelling is nice.
What brand did you get?
JBL Live 675NC
although I think the market is probably full of similar quality headphones at that price.
Thanks! I have a 14 hour flight coming up and I’m considering a pair as my earbuds hardly work over the engine noise.
those aren’t earbuds, they are over the head headphones
Oh yeah, what I was trying to say is that my earbuds are so bad on planes, that I want to upgrade to noise canceling headphones.
a high quality pocket knife. never leave home without one.
What game are you changing exactly with this?
It’s very convenient when you forgot lunch money.
This is illegal in France :(
Just guillotines
cop: are you carrying anything sir?
me: no sir, I keep it all PG
cop: alright, you have a good day now
me smirking and taking out my Pocket Guillotine
Sadly also illegal as some people might feel threatened by it :(
that’s really to bad, guess your guys’ gangs really fucked that up for everyone
I have a Boker Kwaiken, a real nice one, but man do I love the DW-1. It’s so wee you can really use it anywhere without worrying about freaking anyone out and it does things like box cutting waaaay better than a longer knife.
Hell yea, bröther.
Fuckin’ love that thing.
My EDC is a Spyderco Para 3, but IMHO Kershaw is a great budget brand. I really like the Iridium, but the finish is a bit too delicate for my taste because I keep my knife in the same pocket with my keys.
Multitool. Can’t live without.
Recently bought a leatherman skeletool. It’s so compact and the perfect amount of utility for me. And it doubles as a fidget toy.
I’ve had one of these for probably 15 years now. Excellent tool.
Eyeing a rice cooker, it’s really not a need-to-have but I might go for it… Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)
You won’t regret it. They’re such a nice thing to have and there are totally decent ones for pretty cheap.
I have the one that Uncle Roger has that plays music when your rice is ready. I wish it was larger, but that is my only complaint.
I use an instant pot and it works really well. I use it for other things too but honestly rice is probably what it gets used for the most.
I have an instant pot as well, and used that for rice too. But it is nice to be able to have beans in the instant pot and rice in the rice cooker at the same time.
I have better results with my instant pot than any of the results I’ve gotten from the zojirushi. Plus the zojirushi takes 4-5 times as long.
My wife forbids me from getting any large appliances for any 1 thing, so I could never convince her to get a ride cooker. Instead we got an InstaPot that we use exclusively to cook rice. It’s way different (trust me)
There’s a “fast” option on most zojirushis. it should take about 1 hour if you select that. Source: I’m Asian
My mom dislikes instant pot rice and likes zojirushi rice. IDK what the difference is but she can tell. Shrug.
There’s definitely nuance to how you do it in the instant pot, depending on what kind of rice it is. Zojirushi is a little more hands-off, and fool-proof. I just never decide 2 hours in advance that I want rice with dinner.
More like 1 hour but yeah.
Quick mode ftw!
I love mine. Get a cheap analogue one that works with a magnet. Perfect rice every time
Yup, for rice cookers, the cheaper the better. Anything with a gasket ain’t worth the cleaning effort
Found a nice one for $90. On second thought I better check out the models at the local Asia Supermarket.
I’ve never actually used an expensive rice cooker, but the $15 one I got at [department store] works perfectly for me. This video sold me on the beautiful simplicity of it, and it’s my favorite kitchen instrument
Of course Technology Connections made a video about Rice Cookers!! Thanks for sharing, gonna watch it when I can.
Yup, that’s the type I meant above
His video also convinced me to get one
Nice one. Gonna check out the models at the Asia super market nearby. I mean rice is a staple in Asian kitchen!
If you have a microwave, there’s microwave rice cookers aswell.
Zorirushji is amazing! You should get it
- Bidet
- Hand barbells + weights
- Inexpensive watch like a casio f-91w, or a cheaper smart one. Turning off all phone sound notifs is nice.
- Used e-reader
- Heated blanket
- One of those water bottles with a straw and a smart lid
It’s amazing how life changing a $35 bidet is
Every time I go to a bidet-less house, and see that they’re going as unwashed as a 5th century peasant
A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.
Why is it $100?
It’s not. The post says $100 or less. This is definitely less.
Sorry, $100 aud, not freedom units. But that’s about 64 freedom units, which also seems crazily expensive.Shows 29.99 USD for me
That’s Australian Amazon. In the US Amazon store it shows as $29.99. Even the normal list price before the discount is $36.99.
Doesn’t look bad at all! Seems like a nice and space saving alternative to a dedicated sandwich maker.
You really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.
Shower curtain with pockets. Never again will you knock bottles off of those inadequate shelves.
Wait, I’ve been on this earth for 52 years and somehow didn’t know they make shower curtains with fucking pockets?! I’m going to go buy one right now.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.
Motherfucking pockets… in the goddamned shower curtain.
Why have I never heard of this before that’s a brilliant idea. Do they grow mad mold quickly?
How would they ever dry out?
The pockets are nets.
If they’re well designed, the pockets won’t actually be sealed against the curtain at the bottom
My bathroom has a sliding glass door and I hate it even more now.
Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don’t know how I would’ve slept without those.
CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.
If only I had the courage to tell my roommate
Example?
The nothing buds are pretty good and if I’m not wrong I got them under 50.
Seconded
House slippers.
I have house Crocs, does that count?
