Personally, as with a lot of the comments, I’m in the food-prep and make it yourself crowd.

I found a book that dives into the details of when it is and isn’t worth making things from scratch.

It’s called Make the Bread, Buy the Butter.

Honestly, I haven’t read it yet. I bought it and let my mom borrow it immediately, but when I get it back I think it will an interesting read.

Fairly consistently: 3D printing, wood working, amateur radio, RC cars, and cooking.

Also playing with: sewing, tablet weaving, lifting weights, and guitar.

I was with you up until big thighs. …though I will say I don’t mind them, I wouldn’t call it a hobby.

Toats down with brewing, baking and 3d printing fo sho though.

As a subset of this, the fact that carburators worked as well as they did, until we had the technology to invent the simpler fuel injector, I think is pretty cool.

I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.

“previously owned”

Yes.

Yes. This.

This video is absolutely worth the time it takes to watch it.

I’d like to suggest wallet chains and Discman portable cd players get added whoever is making this list.

Yep, exactly this. Wash the plates and silverware now before stuff gets dried on there… Except that casserole dish with the crispy baked on border of crust. That is soaking for a couple hours to save me a little effort. I’ll was every dish but two just because it’ll be easier later.

I’ve got a weird version of "net lazy"motivation. Anything I can do now to make a future task easier, I am strongly motivated to do. Anything that would be easier if I wait for [blank] I will ignore until the ideal moment that would make it the easiest.

It oftentimes leads to peculiar optimizations, but it has worked surprisingly well for me so far.

I have vitaligo. I’m just one person, but I wouldn’t care. Though, perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. Sometimes I forget about it until someone else makes an awkward comment. Personally, I think it’s kinda cool.

Ferris Bueller’s Night Out

Instead of adding an account to the device with all of the management software that goes with it, one could use a generic SMTP email client (K-9 Mail?) and still get the email, but not have to worry about the privacy and remote administration concerns.

Edit: nevermind, I skimmed the question at first, and didn’t see the duo limitation. This solution probably isn’t an option.

No, it is not the world I want to live in, but I am not convinced it would be worse than the current world.

There’s a lot of “billionaires shouldn’t exist” and “eat the rich” sentiment out there. I often suggest jokingly that it should be legal to murder someone once they reach a certain level of wealth. It might motivate them to limit their greed at some point, perhaps be less exploitative of those who are working to generate their wealth or share more of it. And even if they pass the threshold, they may give more concern to how they treat people and how they are perceived.

Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.

No.

Same with Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean both sound wrong if you use the alternate pronunciation.

How much do you really think they care about what the constitution says?
