Had one save me when a lady reversed into my car in a parking lot and then claimed I ran into the rear of her car. I just let her explain to cops what happened without saying a word. When she was done I just said "I have a camera". She about pissed herself. Lol
Sent the footage to the insurance company and they basically said "you're good". Got my car repaired for free and never heard about it again.
I got one for each of my immediate family members shortly thereafter.
Edit: Holy crap for everyone asking: you don't have to get a high cost system professionally installed. Just buy a <100 dollar cam off Amazon that suction cups to your windshield and plugs into a lighter. I don't have recommendations, the one I'm using now I like but isn't made anymore. Just look at reviews.
Inquiring minds would like to know which one you have. I can power a cam off my rearview mirror with the right adapter, but I'd love to have parking mode, too.
It is the Baseus VD1 Pro Dash Cam (and I use it in western Europe). The software is not great to be honest but I did really want the parking mode without dealing with hardwiring it and it was the best one I found at this price range.
What frustrates me very heavily is that my car has like 10 cameras around its body. I don't understand why I should install myself a dash cam and connect it to the fusebox, and then hide the wires at a great effort, while I have perfectly placed cameras installed on my car.
It's so mildly infuriating that I can't bring myself to install it.
I just wish I could install some software or pay some premium so those 10 cameras around my car could be used as dashcam.
Often when im doing housework, ill put on my over ear headphones just for the noise suppression. I wont even listen to anything, I just find i stay more focused and get interrupted less with them on.
Doing that’s has really helped my ADHD when cleaning. I usually listen to an audio book and it keeps me from wandering, as long as I stick to my one room rule. If I leave the room I’m cleaning, all bets are off.
I find the 2 minute rule has helped immensely keep my overall cleaning burden down. I have less dishes to clean up, my counters are generally clearer than if I don't, and I always have at least one side of a split sink open. Clothes have a place, clean or dirty, nothing is left out if it can be put where it belongs. It takes time to get there. One room at a time is an absolute necessity. Limit the scope and do list-based tasks that are easily checked off. Gamifying cleaning got my kids to participate more.
If something takes 2 minutes or less to clean and put away, I deal with it immediately. I started doing this with dishes during cooking. Cleaning up after messy kids has required me to change my habits in ways I didn't think I could with this distracted brain.
Man I just moved into a apartment that is now noisy after someone moved in above. I can't stand it and demanded a unit transfer to the top floor. I dunno how you can stand that.. I guess wearing headphones all the time lol
Yeah I started making $300-400 boot purchases; they last forever. If the sole wears out, take them to a cobbler and for $100 you have a brand new pair of boots again.
Alternating between at least two pairs will make each pair last much longer. That's because leather wears out faster if it's not allowed to dry out completely, and overnight isn't long enough if you've been sweating in your boots all day.
Also, it can begin to smell. Not overpowering, but a pervasive stink. I normally wear canvas sneakers, and they’re fine weeks at a time. When it snows, I’m wearing my nice waterproof leather work boots everyday, the same pair. It’s OK when I have wool socks at the ready, but snow and slush for weeks and a bit too long between laundry days? Yeesh. Got more wool socks and another pair of less nice waterproof boots in anticipation of yet another record setting blizzard.
Yep, I deliver for UPS and was going through cheap boots like water. Bought a good pair of Red Wings a few years ago and am very happy with them. Plus they’re union-made and will do free seam repairs on their boots. I had one seam rip about a year in and they fixed it no questions asked. They ship them out for fixing but it took less than a week for them to be back on my feet.
Saw 2 girls looking super confused with their hood up in the parking lot at work. I asked if they needed help and they got teary eyed and said yes. The one girl was on the phone and says "it's OK dad, some nice guy stopped to help us."
Took one look, grabbed my portable jumper, hooked it up, waited a minute, and boom it fired up no problem. Disconnected, out jumper away, still clocked in in time.
I think those girls may have thought I was a super hero based on their expressions 🤣
I always judge a new place I travel through by how willing they are to stop and help someone on the road. One of the states at the top of my list has people that always helps someone who is stuck, no matter their race or gender. Ironically, it is known for it's racism, which is also true, but they won't let that stop them from helping out either. The duality of man.
Strictly based off the stereotypes, I'm just imagining some loudmouthed Bostonian pulling over to help someone...berating and cussing them out the whole time about how stupid they are to get themselves into this situation, with the full Boston accent...but getting them up and running in about 5 minutes...and scolding them about being not being a fuckin' idiot anymore as they send them off.
I’ve never broke down and needed help, but the one time a family member did I was SHOCKED because at least a half dozen fully stopped to offer aid, and several more shouted offers of help as they slowly drove past. It was a high traffic area and somewhat unsafe place to be broken down, so it was amazing how helpful people were being.
When I got one, I was blown away. The fact that it does it in an instant without any charging or waiting or anything. My whole life, dead car battery meant at the minimum waiting 5+ minutes while a helper car ran with the jumper cables attached. I just had this picture in my head that wow it must take a pretty huge burst to start a car. Now this little thing can do it. It’s crazy
I got one of these after getting tires of waiting in line at the gas station on days when the weather got colder. Worth every penny. Going to buy a portable jumper now too
I can't tell you how many times I've used mine over the past five years.
It comes in very handy if your battery dies because of cold weather or if the battery just expired. But sometimes there's something mechanically wrong in your car that a jump starter can fix and you need that temporary solution until you have time to take the car into the garage.
Also, for every time I've needed it, I've helped out a friend or roommate with it five times as much.
Seriously. A portable 12v (car cigarette lighter power) air compressor with an emergency plug kit and a battery jumpack stashed under the seat will save you SOOOO much hassle/danger. I can't count the number of random strangers I've bailed out of being stranded in some parking lot with those two items.
If you give me a budget of $350 to pimp out someones crib I’m buying them a bidet, an air fryer, and an electric toothbrush. It’s on them to use them but I can at least lead a horse to water.
I find it harder to get into the habit of constant use of a water flosser though I don't know why. Granted one morning I must have somehow had a tangled tube so when I pulled it tipped over and dumped the entire reservoir and pissed me off.
I’ll add - if you’re a glasses wearer already, prescription sunglasses will absolutely change your life! Mine were maybe $200 without insurance from Warby Parker and I call them my emotional support prescription sunglasses because I don’t go anywhere without them.
I had this exact experience when I was about 7 years old. Walked out of the optometrist's office and excitedly asked my mom "is that what trees are supposed to look like?!" She later told me she felt like the worst mom ever in that moment lol
Bidet attachment for a toilet. Cheaper ones start around $50…..going up to a million dollars for robotic toilets. But $350 would get a decent one that can use warm water.
After getting one, I still scratch my head over why people still think it’s enough to just clean shit off your body with dry paper.
I’m sure I’ve saved more on reduced TP use, than the bidet cost. I’d save even more if my family would use it as religiously as I do.
During the pandemic I bought a cheap one. I think it was $35. Cold water only, just used a t-valve off the tank. It was excellent, except in February. February was a bracing experience.
The at the beginning of October my step-son was hiking with his biodad and fell off a cliff. We're home from the hospital now, but he's not allowed to bend or twist for like the next year... so I took that as the excuse to upgrade to something with a heated water system, and a blower. You can get a decent one for about $120.
The problem I have is one of pressure. We have high water pressure... and the cheap toilet just let you manually open a valve, find the right setting and power-wash yourself clean. The new one has fancy pressure control and limits it to "sane" levels. Which works about 90% of the time. The blow dryer's nice.
Look, man... I'm in my late 30s at this point and hair is well established everywhere except the top of my head. You don't clean a shag carpet with a spray bottle.
Honest question, how do you get the bottle down there in the toilet and in position to use it, without making a mess also. Cus obv a real bidet attachment is connected low under the rim of the back of the seat
If im paying a million dollars for a robotic toilet, that thing better reach up my ass and pull the shit out while giving me a massage and serenading me with the most beautiful music ive ever heard, and leaving me fresh as a mountain stream.
Quite honestly I have scrolled This Thread awhile and this is the only answer I agree with. Anybody that does not have a bidet has no idea what they're missing. It is absolutely a life-changing thing to own and I will never be without one and I hate going places that don't have them.
Bought a new house two years ago, and the master came with a bidet. It’s life changing. Now, I am beyond annoyed when I have to drop a deuce somewhere else.
People who wipe are rubes. I fart cleanly in their general direction.
if you have health insurance, CPAP machine. They estimate 1 billion people suffer from sleep apnea/obstructive breathing. 80% of that number has no idea they have it. Many suffer for 2-7 years before diagnosis. And unfortunately from my experience, i was the only real advocate for myself thru the process. Im a month and change into cpap and its like i live a completely different life now.
Odds you have sleep apnea greatly goes up if you: snore (even if you don't think you snore, you might like i do), sleepwalker, randomly have high blood pressure some days with no real explanation, have acid reflux that gets sucked into your throat (especially when youve tried diet fixes that STILL create that problem), wake up gasping for air sometimes (like an abrupt snore), smoke, had covid, parents snore/diagnosed sleep apnea, you are overweight, you have a thick neck, you wake up with a sore throat/uvula often (which doctors check and find zero issues with), you find yourself tired all the time no matter how much sleep you get, you wake up often, you don't remember your dreams/don't dream/interrupted dreams, if you need to take naps or could take naps daily (especially if you take like 2-3 hour naps and historically feel like shit afterwards), have anxiety randomly somedays with no real explanation (with no real history of anxiety even), or have a brain fog in the mornings that could last all day.
And the kicker, even one beer will make my breathing fuck ups per hour from 1.x to 3.x WITH the machine, imagine without.
And when/if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea (which goddamn do they make you jump through hoops and do everything in their power to stop you), you might be like me who has never had better breaths in my life then those sleep sessions. Man that air is the taj mahal.
I spent over $100,000 (my insurance actually) on mri's, CT's, xrays, blood work, throat scopes, etc. in 6 years and in the end I was the fuckin person that diagnosed myself accurately, no other doctor did in that time frame. Then when i pursued that diagnosis they said i was borderline. Well let me tell you, whatever numbers insurance wants to see is a bar far above the average person that definitely DOES need cpap.
What to expect from the sleep apnea tests. take home test, i think i just had to wear a bracelet or finger thing for only one night (honestly i was so afflicted by sleep apnea at the time its all a blur). Well that home test said my numbers weren't good enough. So then you do an in person hospital overnight stay where they hook your whole body to sensors and give you a sleep pill to run testing and watch you sleep through a monitor. And had i not made it explicitly aware to my sleep doc i NEEDED this diagnosis, idk if my numbers would have still been good enough for insurance to accept. Then if you get the machine, if you don't use it 4 hours minimum like 21/30 days, you gotta give the machine back, you gotta do that for a whole year.
For those that are still reading, last night i had my first accidental 4 1/2 hour sleep with no cpap, my symptoms came rushing back especially the sore throat and swollen feeling uvula. i went back to sleep for 4 hours extra WITH cpap. Right now as I write, i have no idea how im doing it, this brain fog i have is making me forget even the most basic words. Today i am in fight or flight mode. From 4 1/2 measly hours of untreated sleep apnea. I now understand, i can't go another moment in my life sleeping without cpap or else i could wreck my entire next day.
I have state insurance in iowa btw, thats almost assuredly why the process was what it was as steve points out!
I barely had to go through any hoops. I told my doctor that my dad has sleep apnea and I have a lot of the symptoms. They immediately ordered a sleep test. Test showed I had 40+ apnea events per hour. They diagnosed me with severe sleep apnea and got me set up with a cpap machine.
They did the opposite of trying to stop me, they facilitated everything and encouraged me through the entire process. That sucks they did that to you. My experience with things like this is that they want you to do it because that is how they make money.
thank you for your lived facts because it's very clear i may be in the minority with the hoops i had to jump thru (state insurance). it's important readers see that it really might not be a shitty process.
Preach. I was 23 years old with stage 3 hypertension. Fit as could be in the army. I would fall asleep in the car daily, I was exhausted all the time.
Finally got a sleep study and had a moderate apnea hypopnea index score (~25). CPAP cured my HTN and daytime sleepiness. The first night I used it is now a core memory because I woke up feeling SO good.
Oh boy those ovenight tests are nasty, huh. Like, here. We're going to monitor everything about your sleep to get important, expensive information, but you're covered in probes attached to the wall (turning who? pissing when?), and it's fucking freezing so the hair-safe goop doesn't melt. Hope you're comfy, good luck! 🫠
And god forbid you do nap testing the next day. I was so overtired I wanted to cry, because I'd half drift off just to be informed my 20 minutes was over.
Yeah. I have a 26 year hole in my life. Was getting about 2 to <2 hours of recuperative sleep. Lost out on relationships, had trouble holding down a job, couldn't absorb information when i was tired (which was most of the time), was irritable and it kept me from being able to recognize and deal with my own bullshit.
Had a sleep study done in 2008. 120 stoppages an hour. Hypoxia was at 53% and still falling when the tech shook (and screamed at me) me awake. Put my BiPAP mask on, slept for 4 hours and woke up being able to see colors, smell things and began to actually SEE the world around me (and within me) for the first time in 26(ish) years.
Yeah, people. If you have any doubts about the quality of your sleep or people in your life say that you stop breathing when you're asleep, go get a sleep study done. It may not just change your life, it may save it.
I wonder if this differs by insurance company/clinic. Mine was easy. My wife witnessed it so I knew I had it. Got an appointment with a sleep doctor, successfully failed my at home test (my episodes weren’t even super high ~15) and had a CPAP all in a couple weeks time. I’m at less than 1 episode per hour when I’m using it but they recently discontinued the mask I use…
If you think you have sleep apnea and don’t have life insurance or disability insurance, go to a financial planner and get as much as you think you’ll ever need.
Once you get a sleep study, you are never going to get insured again without jumping thru hoops. That’s how bad sleep apnea is! Underwriters treat it worse than smoking, drinking, and other morbidities.
OP this isn’t just a good answer; it’s THE answer. The “bang for your buck” is unmatched (you can often get them closer to $50 on sale), holds an edge, and is sturdy enough it needs absolutely zero special treatment other than not running it in the dishwasher (though you could, it’s not recommended for any chefs knife)
I worked in kitchens for a decade, they were everywhere. I’ve given probably ten of them as gifts by this point to people I knew were using something from target or whatever, and without fail it ends up getting a rave review.
If you don’t know anything about decent knives, this is the one. You can always upgrade later.
A Zojirushi rice cooker. The quality jump in rice is absurd and it keeps it warm and fresh for days. I started cooking more abd eating better after I got it, just so the rest of the meal can match the quality of the rice! I don't think I've gone a single day without eating rice since I got it a year ago.
Also a robot vacuum. I got a decent one for $250 and it has immensely cut down on housework.
I make rice in the morning and will eat it all day.
It keeps it warm all day and at the end of that day, I will toss it into a container and put it in the fridge. The next day, ill add some egg, mixed veggies and make fried rice out of it.
A back scratcher. Cost next to nothing, brings an unreasonable amount of joy, and I no longer have to rub myself against doorframes like a bear against a tree.
Really fancy sheets. Going from cheap target sheets to fancy ones makes me appreciate life just a little more.
Edit: I didn’t mean to cause so much divisiveness about Target. I love target! I meant I’ve only gotten cheap sheets from there. I love my Brooklinen ones. They’re overpriced in my opinion but I LOVE getting into bed with them.
What are considered "really fancy" and where can I find them? I thought it was thread count, and you can get some high thread count sheets from Target. But you make me believe there is something I'm missing.
The best I’ve ever tried for a queen (more options for king) has been the Vera Wang Sateen Cotton (I think 800 thread count but you can get higher sometimes) from Kohl’s. When I was ready for new ones I researched a lot and came back to the same ones. After a few washes they are very soft and I love the weight and durability. I’m autistic and I love the way it feels.
It's a mixed bag, because you are also purchasing one of the most depressing experiences of your life too.
I had a dog that single handedly kept my depression at bay. It's not a stretch to say I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for him. Making the call to let him go after 13 years was the worst experience of my life.
Had to let my little guy go a year and a half ago. He pulled me out of the deepest depression I’ve ever been in (decade long).
Losing him was devastating but to me, if I dwell on that or fall back into a depression I almost feel like it’s a dishonor to his life and how happy and loved he made me feel.
So even when there are days that kick my ass and my heart aches and feels hollow when i think of him.. i force myself to think on the happy side and how much better i am for having him in my life.
It has tough days and happy days, but the amount of joy they bring far outpaces the tough days. They'll always give way more than they'll ask for...even when it's time to say goodbye. The memories live by and the sadness fade away eventually (even though it'll always hurt), but the happiness they bring is hard to describe.
What an amazing feeling it is to connect and bond so strongly with something that isn’t even our own species. A friend, a pal, someone that understands your moods and can make you feel supported no matter what you’re going through. Unfortunately, they only get to be a beautiful chapter in our lives, but to them, you were their whole story. Their entire life was spent with you. They saw you the same way. A friend, a pal, and someone that understands their moods. I know how much it hurts, and there’s nothing I can say to make that pain go away, but I just want to thank you for giving that girl a wonderful life. Dogs deserve it. They really are the best. I’m really sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. It's been about two months for us. I still dream that he's around about once a week. Then wake up feeling like shit.
For me it was that you get so used to caring for them when they are that age that when they are gone there's just so much empty space where you'd help them go outside, play with them, give them meds, etc.
I still have the rugs I put down so he wouldn't slip. Can't bring myself to move them.
non-crap showerhead is definitely something everybody should get. It's something you use a hell of a lot and easy peasy to get a good deal for by looking for openbox on ebay
This. Until you do it, you never quite realize all the secret hidden little gems that are around your neighborhood. Driving takes you out of your surroundings and walking limits your range. Bicycling is that magic middle ground.
Right now during November there are a ton of mattresses on sale for 300 or less. A good hybrid mattress will definitely change your life for the better.
Fwiw I bought a keyboard off a buddy a few years ago because I always wanted to learn it and had a good excuse to buy one.
It sat intimidatingly in the corner of my apartment for 2 years; I finally decided to start playing a couple months ago and wish I would have started years ago. Very fun instrument.
This is what happened to me. I when I was in my teens I did lsd probably around 150 times. Sometimes one bit, sometimes five. Went a bit coo-coo and wound up on anti-psychotics for a couple of decades. It was a shitload of fun though.
A decent espresso machine — nothing too fancy either. My wife got me one for Christmas a few years ago because she said I was spending too much at coffee shops on weekends… I use it every single day.
A rechargeable self heating lunch box with a timer; I eat so much better for far less money now. Everything is heated up when I need it... no fighting for the disgusting microwave at work anymore. More time during my lunchtime since everything is prepared and ready to go the second lunch starts. Don't forget to get a week's worth of containers so you can meal prep once a week and then just grab and go during the work week. https://www.luncheaze.com/?srsltid=AYCX9vKXGAnUnkl2i0KOn1LGLy9G22bhB-cSEIO3HhNAsQh9oq_EHAfW

Cordless vacuum! So much easier to use and a lifesaver when you have pets. It makes my brain so much happier to have a clean space

A rechargeable self heating lunch box with a timer; I eat so much better for far less money now. Everything is heated up when I need it... no fighting for the disgusting microwave at work anymore. More time during my lunchtime since everything is prepared and ready to go the second lunch starts. Don't forget to get a week's worth of containers so you can meal prep once a week and then just grab and go during the work week. https://www.luncheaze.com/?srsltid=AYCX9vKXGAnUnkl2i0KOn1LGLy9G22bhB-cSEIO3HhNAsQh9oq_EHAfW

Exercise bike, bench press, free weights, spend $350 on any of them and actually use it and it will physically change your life.
