There’s always stuff that needs repairing or maintenance around my rented apartment. I got an electric sander the other week which I used to make my >10 year old kitchen countertop and balcony furniture look brand new.
Right now I’m working on my mountain bike which I use to commute to work. I replaced the front chainring the other day to fix the chain slip which has been driving me nuts for months. Swapped out the chain and cassette while I was at it, and now I’m working on regreasing all the moving parts.
When I’m done with that I’ll descale and regrease all the internals on my espresso machine, since I haven’t done that in like a year. Then I got to fit actual chores like cooking, cleaning, haircuts and laundry in.

Always something to do, but I enjoy learning how to do my own repairs and maintenance to stay somewhat independent, plus it helps me save money so I don’t have to work as much.

Video games, music, books, building plastic model kits, meeting friends occasionally…

I ditched YouTube Music and spent two weeks downloading all the albums I only had on there to my old iTunes folder which I stopped updating in 2018.
Now I can expand all the individual artist folders in Mac OS’ file browser to give me list of every album in my library, copy and paste that into an LLM (Deepseek in my case) and ask it for analysis and recommendation based on my taste.

It works incredibly well and lets me ask for specific recommendations for whatever I’m in the mood for. Same with movies. 10/10.

Also been using Boost for years and very happy with it. My only gripe is that oftentimes embedded images like custom emotes are displayed at an enormous screen filling size, so sometimes if a user includes multiple emotes in a comment I have to scroll several screens to get to the next comment. This never was an issue in the Reddit Boost app, and the fact that its been unaddressed for so long now has me worried that the app may have been abandoned. No idea if it still gets updates, I should check one day.

The picture is pretty self explanatory imo, its an ice cube box that makes proper ice cubes, comes with two trays so you can make a whole bunch at once, the box acts as convenient storage so you can prepare a ton of cubes ahead of time, and the lid works as a tool for getting all the cubes in a tray out at once, without having to press them individually like on some other solutions.
The picture showcasing the well thought out design was preferable to posting a link or naming a specific manufacturer, since its a generic design you can find on Aliexpress or other sites from various brands. It should be easy to find by just looking up “ice cube tray box” or something.
A picture gets the idea across more easily than describing the product I think, and leaves less room for interpretation.

Whitey On The Moon by Gil Scott-Heron comes to mind. Planet is burning and they’re sending money to space.

A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And whitey’s on the moon
I can’t pay no doctor bills
But whitey’s on the moon
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still
While whitey’s on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
Cause whitey’s on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But whitey’s on the moon
I wonder why he’s upping me?
Cause whitey’s on the moon?
Well I was already giving him fifty a week
And now whitey’s on the moon
Taxes taking my whole damn check
Junkies making me a nervous wreck
The price of food is going up
And as if all that crap wasn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arm began to swell
And whitey’s on the moon
Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?
How come I ain’t got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon
Y’know I just 'bout had my fill
Of whitey on the moon
I think I’ll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To whitey on the moon
