I have the Swiss Army Rambler as my EDC. I need scissors a lot, and the Phillips head screwdriver comes in handy more than you'd think. Women's pants have small pockets and the Rambler is perfect.

Add a string and a small weight, and you've got a good plumb-bob to make the vertical stud more evident.

Check out the Vivoactive and Venu lines. Those are nice and don't look like the $40 Timex Ironmans.

Double plus for the Garmin. I'm wearing an Instinct 2 right now. 21 day battery life! It replaced my Vivoactive 4S (6 day battery life) and was cheaper than the Venu 2 (11 day battery life).

I've killed at least two smartwatches by forgetting I'm wearing them when I go in the ocean. The Vivoactive 4S was completely unaffected by the salt water, and I'll test the Instinct 2 this week.

My mom is all about her Apple watch, and has touted the features to me. "I can [insert feature] with this!" Have you used it for that? "No."

I've had three Pebbles, a couple Fitbits, a couple Garmins, a couple Android watches, two Amazfits... I just want something that sends me notifications and has good battery life. If I have to charge the watch every night, I'll forget I'm wearing it.

That being said, the Instinct 2 is actually worse at tracking my workouts than the Vivoactive 4 was. I do martial arts, so the GPS is actually a hindrance there, and I haven't found a way to make it move "generic cardio" to the top of the workout list.

Terrible name for it.

Man, I used to love Quorn nuggets. Why did you get me thinking about Quorn nuggets again?

Banana sandwiches. Banana, mayo, white bread. It's a Southern thing, and it's always Duke's mayo.

Tomato sandwiches. Really good tomatoes, mayo, white bread, salt. Also Southern, also Duke's.

I don't drink a lot of milk, but when I have a glass, I like a couple cubes of ice in it. Milk tastes sweeter to me as it warms up, and I don't like that, so the ice delays it.

My mom likes canned pineapple rings with mayo.

Me too! I've also used it as a colander, and I used it to catch a small lizard that found its way into my house a couple weeks ago.

If only it didn't come with a sticker on the bottom that resists removal...

I'd be thrilled if it had a USB port, and I could just have it scan to USB. But nooooooo...

Very similar to the Brother AIO that I have. It scans fine, it's just that the Linux app that communicates with the scanner is immensely frustrating.

The scanner at my last job was great. It was part of the printer, set up by central IT, and could send the scanned document to my email address. 10/10 scanner.

The AIO printer / copier / scanner I bought myself for WFH sucks as a scanner. Mostly because I'm on Linux, and there just isn't an easy way to get the documents from the scanner to my computer. I often just use Photoscan on my phone.

I also switched to Brave - Firefox's memory leaks had become untenable for me. Now if I have enough Brave tabs open, the whole browser just freezes. I'm sticking with it though.
