Somehow I read "execute" and had fully accepted my fate before I realized it said "excite"

My wife and I are 44, and can think of little finer than driving down to a local beach, getting a bag of chips, and watching people walk by with their Very Good Dogs. On a sunny day it's just about one of the best things you can do.

If 24 year old me knew about this, he'd probably have hanged himself.

That sounds like an amazing day

100% recommendation from me. Find yourself a good Dog Beach* that's a short walk from a good chippy and you need never be sad again. _ *be careful it's not a Dogging Beach. That's a very different thing.

You know that is REALLY good advice I don't know why I never thought of it. Can I share it on [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do what you must, but don't blame me if the rabid hordes get wind of it and overwhelm your favourite Dog Beach with their ogling eyes.

Thar is a risk, but I feel I can't keep something so beautiful a secret. It's not fair on my fellow humans

Wait so you turn into a yappy little dog when you turn 40? That sounds terrifying.

I stand by my OG coorded Dyson Ball Animal upright. It's almost 20 years old now and still sucks the soul out of you.

Our 50 year old Kenmore central vac will probably outlast me. Guess I'll have to find something else to get excited about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Have you considered a cordless drill or jigsaw?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah!
Did anyone see the new Dyson stick?\

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Looks cool but you’d be emptying the container every minute I reckon.

I swear no one at Dyson has pets

Or spine.

Mid 40s here, and I have been trying to straddle that “senior engineer turned goose farmer” line for a few years now. I fiddle with the bleep bloos during the day, and on evenings and weekends I’ve been doing some pretty heavy construction in the back yard for various animals of ours.

Tools are therefore a huge one for me, with two major categories. First are the nice power tools like my DeWalt handheld stuff and my EGO outdoor stuff. But second are the cheap and indispensable, but also easily replaceable, small convenient “everyday carry” type tools. Things like the perfect minimal keychain or pocket knife.

I haven’t carried my nice pocket knife for years because it’s huge and I didn’t miss it much as long as I had something sharp on my keychain. But now after using a utility knife a lot in the past couple months, I’ve realized how nice pocket knives designed around replaceable blades can be. You always have a brutally sharp and very thin blade, and you don’t have to think twice about damaging the blade by cutting or prying. My current cheap favorite is the Oknife Otacle U1. The ideal-looking upgrade that I’m getting next is the TiRant V3. The same company makes the TiRant Ultra which has a whole new interchangeable blade system on top of the utility knife blade thing, but it’s slightly larger and a lot more expensive.

I also found tiny knives great for my keychain that use scalpel blades. I use one that folds as small as a 3” pencil and uses a #11 blade — the pointy one with a straight edge.

I'm 39 and I'm just happy when I'm regular for two week stretches.

Yes, but it's THE WIDTH OF A 500 YEN
