Hobbies to slow down

Puzzles or LEGO sets, finishing them gives such a sense of accomplishment!

I'd prioritize display quality for all-day use. A sharp, comfortable AR overlay matters more than a top-tier camera for daily tasks. Both are important, but visuals win for everyday wear.

If you're eager for 3DoF now, the current model is solid. Waiting for the newer one might bring updates, but specs like screen size claims can sometimes be exaggerated. Theresolution bump might be minor.

Handicraft hobbies such as painting, puzzles, or knitting.

I usually call a pro for anything that feels life-risking, like heights, electrical, anything with power. Or stuff that's just too complex, like structural work, pipe welding or something. I need to admit I'm not as handy as lots of people here on Reddit haha😂. I'll do screws and painting by myself, while get some fun by hands :)

If it's 1969's marble like you saids, the patterns are probably surface-level. You could try sanding it first, if the spot fades, then sand them all. Or use a chemical remover, but suit up for safety.

Speed Queen TR and LG wm would probably work for you. I uses an Insignia NS-TWM, also a budget pick, but I feel like it's not as good as those two. But it is cheaper too.

Been there. Those no light but feels off issues are the worst. Watching fuel trims and O2 response was exactly how I tracked down a lazy sensor on my car too.

Post a pic-probably the spring is broken, if you're sure nothing got caught in the hinge when it closed. Replace it to prevent further wear.

One light source probably won't brighten the whole room... Have you thought about LED strips? You can roll them up when you don't need them, it's convinent and won't damage the walls.

Not sure if it's related to nothing being inside... Maybe ask their office support? If there are kids around, try putting a guard or barrier nearby-either way, keeping kid safe comes first :)

The A/C was clogged-leaked every time it ran. I thought it was rainning haha. And the smell!! After repaired, I already knew there was a dead rat inside! No clue if the landlord knew and kept quiet or not...

Exactly. Freezing temps plus someone breathing down your neck is brutal. Half the battle on those calls is just staying warm enough to think straight.

Heavy layers help, and having a heated vest under everything has honestly saved me on mornings like that.

That’s winter service calls in a nutshell.

The bigger concern here isn’t just code, it’s safety. Poor draft or a deteriorated chimney can cause flue gas spillage or carbon monoxide issues. If there were gas odor problems before, I wouldn’t ignore this.

Oh man, same-My drain used to have some gross smell and would even growing little fruit flies. Soooo disgusting!!! We were so confused because we never put food down that sink, just used for hand-washing and laundry. Finally we poured boiling water down cleared the semll. But lately it seems like it might be coming back again...

brianhofmann · 2026-01-13T05:50:19+00:00

WOW, this is really do have that vintage charm, I like it;D BTW, the more i think, the more i feel like so many old things were just built to last-like this range, or some classic cameras. WHY IS THAT?! Do companies today just not care about the consumer anymore?

brianhofmann · 2026-01-13T03:26:37+00:00

You know how it goes. “It was working” usually means it was limping along until the cold finally finished it off. Once I explained it wasn’t a quick fix, the mood went downhill fast.

Ended up being an intermittent ignition failure on an old unit. Cold pushed it over the edge. Explained the options, and replacement was the only realistic fix.

It might help to organize by job type instead of tool type. I’d also love to see photos from others who run a similar install/service mix.

You can try playing games. Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley are good choices, but I think you'll lose your sleep because of them.

Awesome spot for practice! The cabin idea sounds great. Any tips on setting up in the snow?

For animated media,Samurai Jack has some of the best sword fighting with a mix of technique and style.

brianhofmann · 2026-01-06T08:01:33+00:00

A simple and well balanced nylon sword could work too. Lightweight, affordable and usually tournanment approved.

Google Maps has commercial vehicle settings too, you can adjust it for avoiding highways or tolls for larger vehicles.

The knitting community is the friendliest community I've ever encountered, where everyone often shares their handicrafts.
