Ty! Great tips

This is no longer a safe space for my wallet

Already got a semi-industrial kitchen 😅

Boundaries are mere encouragements to my cat

Converting my family into nudists does not seem to be the right solution here.

However, the idea of trying to reduce the amount of clothes that are worn daily might be on the right track.

The conflict between your mother and brother is not your concern. Your job is not to take any side. The drama is not yours.

The expectation is to attend weddings of close family.

By going you are not siding with your brother.

By not going you are however siding with your mother.

This is because unless there were a conflict between your mother and brother you would attend.

Legit of course ❤️

More professional Bosch tools (Blue ones) for personal use. Maaaaybe I can justify a new drill, drillbits and a multicutter. Bosch professional tools are a true pleasure to use. I cant go back to cheaper consumer grade tools.

RTX 3090 for local LLM. I just pay for european hosted inference instead.

Perfect usecase for dot matrix printers then. I print max once a year, good to know I have something that works

For reliability, of course. I can always whip out my OKI, whenever the other printers has issues. 100% of the time it works every time.

Torx. The best balance between gripping force and size of the head

It is a problem that can be solved, but I doubt that a robot vacuum is the ideal tool for it

I have a Roborock and hard wood floors. It gets everything. There’s nothing left, and it manages to go through the room systematically and reliably. It gets everything even on quiet or low, one pass is enough.

Yes. Sounds like you need a better robot vacuum. Mine handles it perfectly, and it was midrange 1.5 years ago.

Judgemental was not my intention. Everyone has their own set of circumstances. The point is that many including myself should take better care of ourselves for our children, that is one of the better things we can do for our children. I also have a chronic illness that limits my ability, but I am not saying that our circumstances are the same.

You getting to the point of being “stable” as you said, IS taking care of yourself. That is love towards your family and yourself. That is doing everything you can for your children and family!

I could have added some more context in the description to clarify, sorry about that.

Congratulations on the weight loss, I have also struggled with weight and am happy to say that I have lost about the same, and it feels a lot better. It is hard, but keep going until you are at a healthy weight!

I’d like to live in a world in which the former is the case, but as an engineer I have seen some shit

Something is better than nothing. “I could never be a vegetarian/vegan because of bacon” “Ok, then eat vegetarian AND also eat bacon then?”

Scraper that keeps a list of all my benefits across my 10 member organizations. In total 650+ discounts through memberships in unions, coops, etc. Whenever I am about to buy something I cross check against that list. I would never care to do it otherwise, this saves me a lot. Even 5% on a 1000€ purchase is quite a lot.

Aggregating data from across many sources that do not provide RSS feeds.

Life Calendar (calendar with countdowns to yearly events (birthdays, anniversaries, important dates etc))

Adfree Podcasts

Automatic comparison of subscriptions for utilities, phone plan etc. that informs me of better deals.

Tons of these.
