I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    I bought an Ember mug because I thought it was silly. I ended up really liking the temperature control. I don’t rush my coffee/tea. Now every sip is as hot as the first one.

    The new Ember costs, I think, half again as much as the first iteration. It’s a cute gimmick but I certainly wouldn’t pay what they’re charging now.

      I got a heating plate for my home office, but none of the mugs I have really seem to work well with it. They all have this lip/concave bottom that means most of it doesn’t make contact with the plate. At least I think that’s the culprit. It does help a little but not a lot.

      I hate cold tea at least if it was meant to be hot.

          Well yes, I like ice tea, and I enjoy cold boba, but when my previously piping hot rooibos cools down to ambient temperature ten minutes after I sat down with it, I become a sad bean.
