The only one i can think of is people not saving their old toothbrushes. A small brush comes in real handy for a lot of situations

Thats a great story it’s amazing how sometimes things just resurface and click after years. I’m genuinely happy that I’m not the only one that fiddles around with paracord. I get a lot of looks from family because of it, haha. Think it was either the sheet bend or square knot that got me into this.

Rope or really any cordage. Can’t begin to tell you how handy learning 7-10ish knots has come, plus lashings

Same person made me appreciate my can opener

Joe dirt and Mr. deeds

Awesome thank you so much for the information I’ll shop around to see if I can get a deal on just the exam locally

Thank you for the insight I’ll check it out

Not really related to the post but how was the process of getting them off the internet? The cheapest price I can get would run me around 200USD for the whole deal: eye exam, new lenses and the specific frames I want. Hell if I can save money though I’m willing to try online

Honestly yeah not blow up levels of anger more passive aggressive with a hint of sarcasm when I was talking to them instead. It happened when I tried getting help at an at&t store to port out my number from at&t prepaid. Yes I know now its not the same branch or something but damn they were rude and at least could’ve told me who to call. Iirc they were watching a sports game so they probably just wanted to rush me out. At&t prepaid’s reps were nice though just thick accents.

That’s some solid advice

Not really a specific product but those horrible soaking sharpening stones especially if you’re a beginner at sharpening. It’s just too much hassle compared to diamond. That and printer lubricant papers, just make them with printer paper and mineral oil

Might be picky but if they don’t return their shopping carts or just leaves it in a parking spot

I use my spare as kind of a media controller sort of speak thanks to kdeconnect and casting locally. In the near future, I want to get into emulation so that might be what the spare phone gets used for instead with the help of one of those cheap steam deck docks for USB C. As for more creative ideas, I heard some people use them as a dedicated GPS, media player or even a dashcam for their cars (not sure how the battery would hold up in the heat and whatnot). You can use it to remote view your pc or even play games from that same pc or even one you don’t own through cloud gaming. You can repurpose it to be a 2fa device only, so you can keep your TOTPs and other 2fa methods separated from your main assuming the device is up to date security wise. If the camera and whatnot are decent maybe keep it as a spare camera for all your video/picture needs (online meetings, video recording, document scanner, etc…) a dock might be useful for that. If your spare has that desktop like experience when you connect it via HDMI there’s nothing stopping you from using it as a really lightweight computer to do basic web stuff. These are really vague answers since I don’t know what phone you have but I hope it helps get the ball rolling

Can only share my thoughts on the matter. Got myself a brother HL-L2320D a couple of years back and I’m not unhappy with it but I would avoid it if I could time travel. Really wish it had a dedicated Ethernet port and a scanner and I urge you to look for those features, especially since scanning apps are going the subscription route nowadays. My use case is probably different from yours but I didn’t print in color at all in the past idk 5 years now so you might save money on getting a monochrome one but really its up to you for that part.

Oh that’s a good call. I’ve been using some gentle lens cleaner spray

Like age? Couldn’t really afford that many luxuries growing up so my first real phone was at 17, some kind of kyocera, as for my first computer think I was 11. The computer was actually a laptop, a Sony VAIO, from a thrift store. The keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers didn’t work and the screen had damage so I got a hell of a deal on it. Didn’t know how to fix it at the time, so I just used USB peripherals, connected it to my TV and threw on lubuntu, that beast lasted me for another 6 years until I went to college.

Soap easily. God the lives it saved and continues to save easily makes it the best invention imo

The iron giant

Do you have any lyrics you can remember at all? I’m guessing the artist is either “Brown boy” or “Down aka Kilo” but that’s just grasping at straws

Top of my head something like “I appreciate your input however I prefer to handle things in my own way. Both our methods are efficient and can coexist. If you do have concerns, please direct it at our supervisor. Thank you for understanding.” But I would wait for more answers first just to get more feedback

Edit: in case things do escalate for whatever reason do yourself a favor and keep copies of your communications with her. Just document everything
