I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    Oh, not really a purchase, but Mum gave me an Air Fryer. My life was a mess because of Twitter and it was anti-Twitter in every way – no characters limit, offline, insanely powerful. While Twitter would prevent me from prioritizing, Auto-cook mode could handle potato chips, chicken nuggets, hash browns, with support every hot pocket flavour, and could cook them to soft, medium, crispy, etc. Ideas are affordances and Air Fryer has let me focus on these instead of trying to build a picture perfect online profile.

    Whereas Twitter isn’t meant for most people’s use cases so it runs a long-term scam called “optimization for engagement” (which is actually abuse by definition), doing everything it can to prevent its victims from taking hindsight on and conceptualizing what’s happening to them, Air Fryer is letting me channel all of this frustration into preparing and cooking my favourite meals. Which deals with how social media increase social inequalities. Highly recommended.
