What things do you use the most which made your life more bearable? Where did you get it?

Currently using a human body (thanks Mom) with 1 tiny brain (thanks Dad) … without it, these ideas be floating only in other’s people’s minds.
Bet i should get those active noise-cancelling ear protections (thanks to user fog of war), so to get some more ideas to get inside 😋

Is your dad not human? Does your mom still have her brain?

Even when i was young i was thinking much more like my father does. Birthing is especially difficult in humans, we should all be grateful to our moms !

Edit - - oups, in previous post ; user @frog of war ( not Fog of war ! ) … must have been thinking of the movie.

thanks for the clarification. I was part worried, part intrigued what weird things happened in your family.

A label printer. I put a label on every drawer and every jar with self made marmalade, it’s very useful to keep stuff organized

oh yeah! I have an Epson LW-400 and it’s so damn useful. I only wish there were more font options and layouts.

My watch. It isn’t anything special. Is just a normal rugged casio watch who has its years of service. It’s just a small thing that makes my life easier.

Haha it me. Seriously tho its hard to beat a $10 watch with a 10 year battery life that weighs nothing and never breaks.

it’s also water resistant and you can make IEDs with just rewiring its alarm. Versatile as fuck.

I think the next best thing will be the PineTime when they finally make one with a transflective LCD :D

Is it useful or that make my life more bearable?

If it comes to useful I’d say my computer, a jean jacket with fur on the inside which is pretty warm, any of my trousers, and a pot that is pretty big and with two bottoms which makes cooking pretty great.

Life more beareable, my computer and the heather which I recently got after like 15 years of living without it which was pretty fucked up during winter.

You sure like your PC! 😃

I’d say the things making your life better are certainly also the most useful. Why have anything when it doesn’t make you happier?

Hoarding is bad. Laziness & lack of time make it difficult to go through old things.

Also “Citizen Kane” syndrome : the feeling something is lacking in life, trying to get anything and never finding until it’s too late.

typo ?

things making your life better are ((fertainpy//certainly?)) also the most useful

😋

The KonMari method made that way easier for me by dividing reorganisation in small but effective sessions of work.

Oh no, I’m sorry for your loss :(

What does koreader make better?

Are they still made? Can you buy one used?

I prefer koreader instead of nickel (the default Kobo interface) so heavily that I consider it inconceivable to use the latter now.

The less important reason is that koreader is just straight faster in every aspect. This includes opening books, turning pages etc. But more importantly, the default interface is centered around trying to sell you books which I absolutely despise. I don’t went to be advertised to on the hone screen of an expensive device that I bought with my hard earned money.

I bought the Kobo when I used to live in North America. They are not available in India where I am now.

I’m looking into buying a Kindle on the condition that it can be jailbroken and I can install koreader on it. But I haven’t been able to guarantee that a brand new one will have a firmware version low enough that it can be jailbroken. Also looking at other alternatives.

I think I have a Kindle 4 laying around which I have jailbroken. I don’t use it at all. If you tell me how to check the version number you need to know I can send it to you for free (just pay shipping costs if they’re not too high for you). I guess the battery is pretty dead nowadays as it’s laying around for years now and I only occasionally charge it.
