For what it's worth, I just switched from Windows 10 to Fedora KDE Plasma and it's been perfect so far. Only hurdle was windows kept corrupting the flash drive I was trying to make until I figured out the right order to do everything. Now I can make it so that when I close a window it bursts into flames and disintegrates, awesome.

Just bought my nephew a camera that does this on Amazon for $30 and it has a 3" screen with built in games

I've been really happy with the pair of Flexon 609s I got off Amazon for $85 a few years ago. Still good as new after falling asleep in them and dropping them multiple times. Contact them if you aren't sure you're ordering the correct width, they have some listings that don't seem to show up while searching for certain sizes. I'm probably going to get a second pair just because I don't want to go back to my last pair even for the time it takes to replace lenses.

As Peppycito said, they don't make sparks, which is important if you're working somewhere that could have explosive fumes. The lanyard is traditional for sailors' tools to prevent loss as well as dropping it on someone below. Mostly decorative now but it's convenient to be able to let go of the tool if you need both hands for something.

 

Been wanting a prybar to go with my copper EDC stuff for a while but I was worried copper wouldn't be strong enough. Found this old wrench on ebay for $10 and modified it for my needs. Left one of the wrench jaws on there so there's two ways to use it as a prybar. The spike end is rounded enough to probably not tear through a pocket but tapered enough to splice rope or tighten knots. Ended up being 5 1/2" which is a nice size.

 

I used to be mostly into teas, but my wife has always been into coffee. I work night shift so I figured it would be nice if I brewed her a cup in the mornings and save her the time getting ready. I've learned a lot about brewing coffee and found a brand that I like but she isn't as into it and doesn't really have a brand she likes. She used to just get a random bag of pre-ground from the grocery store and add sweetener and creamer or almond milk until it was palatable but she's trying to cut down on that stuff.

Does anyone know of a good sampler of whole beans that is somewhat representative of the varieties, origins, and roasts to hopefully narrow down someone's preference?

Most of those predate the internet

Not a terrible position to watch while spooning maybe?

I meant more like Shaq with a 2x4 vs eight Gary Colemans with nunchucks, but that was a good show at the time

Good point and all, but my first thought was that it could finally tell me who would win in various hypothetical fights lol

I'm sure that's accurate enough for some subs but it's hard to make broad statements about reddit with so many communities. Your experience was whatever you curated for yourself unless you're one of the weirdos that browsed by All
