high key if you have hard water i had a problem where my water nozzle stopped automatically retracting after like 1.5 years bc of mineral buildup but it was 20 bucks so i cant be too disappointed so i guess not too lasting but idk maybe ill buy a more expensive one next time
you could probably soak it in some strong acid to remove the limescale, or spray it regularly with something like vinegar or lemon juice.
thanks for the rec, i’ll try that out
im p sure what happened is that the limescale filled the bottom of the nozzle giving it just enough weight that it stays down with the water pressure off. i’ll try soaking that bit in vinegar and pray it doesn’t melt the plastic too much lmao
A good pair of shoes, especially if you’re on your feet a lot. Your body will thank you now and in the future for spending a couple hundred bucks on a pair of good quality shoes. It depends on what you’re doing but I do most of my running around in ASICS and I can feel the difference if I wear almost anything else. There are good choices in Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, and Mizuno as well
Depends entirely on what you have. I’d say a used eReader and a VPN is one of the absolute best bang for your buck entertainment methods, but you can get by with your phone for reading if you don’t read much. An Aeropress is fantastic for those who like coffee and don’t have anything for making it. A good pillow, socks, shoes, and underwear goes a very long way, as does a comfy hoodie and sweatpants for lounging. Most of these can be quite inexpensive. If you’re vegan, a good quality blender is night and day for making sauces and creams, milks, etc, or even a gym membership or set of dumbells can be massive for your fitness goals if you have any, along with a scale for you and a scale for food if this is something you personally want to do. No personal responsibility bullshit.
Try to think of what’s missing from your life, any habits you wish you had to supplement your life or any you think need improvement, and go from there! This answer varies from person to person.
A nice chair
Especially if you spend large amounts of time sitting at a desk. Nice chair helps soooo much
On the same kind of note, a mattress and good quality linens, or blackout blinds and a humidifier. Anything that improves your sleep is huge.
Are they good? I remember they used to advertise so heavily on NPR that I figured they were not.
At an old job, I liked my chair so much that I called the barely-visible number on the faded sticker on the bottom to find out what it was, found out it was an Aeron and got me one. The great thing about a new one is the long-ass warranty. An arm snapped off mine maybe 7 years after I got it and they replaced both arms.
I’m gonna approach this question a different way and assume a situation where you’re living out of a car or on someone’s couch. A kind of basic kit for stuff that isn’t a revolving good like food or hygiene products.
- Basic, versatile wardrobe from thrift stores. Try to find high quality brands. If you’re in a mixed climate this will be more expensive and you have to think in terms of layers. For places without much seasonal change, you can afford more variety. You can buy new for socks and underwear.
- Comfortable footwear that will protect you from water. Walking will be your main mode of transport.
- Tools like a knife, flashlight, a small mess kit (spoon, fork, cup/bowl). Reusable water container that’s easy to clean. Sewing kit.
- Something that will keep you dry when spending extended periods in the rain. Probably a poncho over an umbrella. Something that fits over your body and pack.
- Accessories like a hat and sunglasses for spending time in the sun. Throw in a couple bandanas.
- A basic pre-paid phone that can do wifi calling and can run a web browser. A small notebook with blue and black pens. A sharpie.
- Build a first-aid kit from scratch to maximize space/weight
- A good bag to carry it all in, something that won’t hurt your shoulders
- Small grooming kit (comb, brush, scissors, mirror, nail clippers, file)
All this isn’t completely necessary if you scrounge and scavenge a little more. You can leave out the mess kit and just take free silverware packs. Hotels usually have free note pads and pens. Churches and shelters may give out some grooming stuff and clothing.
