    Broke single mom here. My H&M usually offers a buy one get one discount on boys’ cotton boxers, so whenever I buy a pack for my 12 year old son, I grab myself one as well and they serve pretty well as pajama shorts which I pair with a cheap oversized cotton tee.

    An ezel. You know, the kind that artists use to put their cavvas on.

    I’m a digital artist, so I have a display drawing tablet. Eventually having the tablet completely horizontally flat got annoying to draw on. I ended up sitting cross-legged and awkwardly perching the table on the edge of my desk on my lap to get some sort of comfortable angle on it. However that was annoying too.

    I went and looked what a tablet stand costed for my tablet model and… It damn near costed the same as my tablet! The. I had an idea. There’s this cheap ass hardware store called Harald Nyborg in Denmark, maybe they have cheap ezel?

    Lo and behold they do. Made from the crappiest cheap wood available, it serves its purpose perfectly! I’ve had it for a few years now and never needed to think about getting that dedicated stand for my tablet.

      I have a friend who does digital art as a side gig, always complaining about his back. Maybe I’ll suggest he get an easel.

    Even though I don’t regularly use it, I’m glad I have a p38 can opener on my keychain. Just in case I end up in a survival situation, it’s good to have alongside a good keychain bottle opener. Obviously not as good as a leatherman, but for under $20, yeah, these two are worth it.

        Fair enough. Its just one of those situations I’d hate to be in (i.e. starving but have a can of food with no can opener). Food so close yet so far…

          Any knife will do for opening a can. With a bit of practice you get a clean round cut.

          But I’m not criticizing the affordable buy it for life can opener you shared with us. Really Nice thing to have.
