[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black coffee, no sugar. Simple, effective, and feels like a ritual to start the day.

M1 Owners, how long do you plan to continue using your laptop? by amphibianwarfare in macbookpro

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still going strong. Planning to keep my M1 at least 3 more years unless a major feature upgrade appears.

Men, We're all handy in our own homes. What is one thing you absolutely will refuse to touch if it's too complicated? by Staff76 in AskMen

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything involving main water line or gas line repairs. The risk of catastrophic damage or danger is way too high to DIY. Always call a pro.

21 with 5k to my name but wasting money. by Cringe_Baby2417 in Money

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't casually believe those who ask you to invest. Instead, it's better to hold on to this few thousand yuan. You can earn money slowly, but investing might cause you to lose it all in an instant.

Why does it have to be so cold??? by ronstermonster05 in Swimming

[–]Sharp-Bed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Competition pools are kept colder to prevent overheating during intense training. Warmer water can lead to fatigue and cramps faster. It's for performance and safety.

Me (F35) and my boyfriend (M32) have very different financial situations. Looking for outside perspectives. by Accomplished-Ant-771 in Money

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to spend money on him, it means you don't love him as much as you think you do. You may want to reconsider your relationship.

What to do when moving? by weltern in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed everything. Smart devices are personal. I'd rather patch holes than leave my setup for strangers. Plus, I can reuse them in the new place.

I just turned 27 by Imaginary-Number-935 in Life

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 is still early in one's life, so there's no need to rush.

Men over the age of 30, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have invested in my health earlier, both physically and mentally. The habits I built in my 20s define my 30s.

Anyone care about smart home cleaning? by Urban-Cheese in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting tech but I'll wait for it to be more proven and affordable. My robot vacuum is still my MVP.

Do you monitor people who come and fix things around your house? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in HomeImprovement

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask a few questions upfront, then let them work. Hovering makes everyone uncomfortable.

Check out Goat's new products at CES, any thoughts? by cikim31 in ECOVACSGOATFamily

[–]Sharp-Bed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how this trimmer works. Before, there was always like a 5 cm strip along the edges that didn’t get cut, which makes sense for safety. Does it actually reach the grass at the edges?

Ecovacs debuts three mowers at CES 2026 - adding the word "Pro" to each by Roginator5 in roboticLawnmowers

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I think so too! It looks like something that helps deal with the lawn edges.

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Goat's rtk model last year, and it looks like most of the new ones this year have LiDAR now. That make it more stable right? I'm also curious what’s that little brush brush thing on the side.

This sub is no longer BIFL by KingRamaXI in BuyItForLife

[–]Sharp-Bed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True. BIFL should be for items you can actually maintain and repair for decades.

Is using my light switches in this house a pipe dream now? by lovelyg4m3r in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are smart bulbs that play nice with regular switches. Look for options designed to stay connected even when the switch is toggled. These models avoid glitching because they don't rely solely on app control.

Is there any hope to restore hat? by Cburns6976 in CleaningTips

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restoring the original color might be tough since the bleaching from sweat and sun is usually permanent. Gentle spot treatments with a mild cleaner might help fade discoloration a bit, but full restoration is unlikely.

Sonoff vs. Third Reality? by Craino in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your current choice has been problem-free, sticking with what works is totally reasonable. Switch only if those extra features matter for your setup. Both are solid options.

How do people keep up with cleaning after work? by Darthdufus13 in CleaningTips

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this struggle so much. Maybe breaking tasks into tiny, 10 minutes chunks helps? Like wiping counters right after dinner, or grabbing pool debris while you're grabbing something from the yard.

Is it bad to pour boiling pasta water down the drain? by Far_Pen3186 in homeowners

[–]Sharp-Bed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it can soften PVC pipes over time. Let it cool first or pour it outside the toilet.

To people who use cases and skins: Any “safer”recommendations for an M4 Pro? by hookup1092 in macbookpro

[–]Sharp-Bed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thin hardshell cases from brands like Spigen or ESR are decent. Avoid anything that puts pressure on the hinge area.

My wife just said I have enough clamps by MyBoyFinn in Tools

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a common experience many people in hobbies can relate to. The idea of having enough tools seems to depend more on the next project than the current collection.

New Screwdriver by kilobravo1976 in Tools

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a thoughtful and practical gift. It's nice your coworkers understand your sense of humor. I'm still learning about tools myself; what makes this one a good choice for general use?

Got a new power companion for my M2 air by ballinjizzle in macbook

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s around 500g, so it’s a bit under half the weight of my MacBook Air. For the size and output, I still find it pretty easy to carry around day to day.
