I have a task that needs to be done every night, sometime in the evening time. I do it when convenient, but often forget whether I did it already at the end of the night.

I'm looking for a simple button I can push that signifies "yup, I did it". But that button would reset itself in the next few hours so the following day, the button would be ready to be pushed again.

Bluetooth headset that can switch between 2 devices

I need noise canceling headphones because of an open office. I'd like to be able to play my background music for concentration but switch same headset to my work laptop on the rare occasion when a call comes in.

I suspect this is just how Bluetooth is intended to work ... but I can hope.

Are there any places like parks or other communal spaces that have partial shade such that I an enjoy a sunbath but my laptop can stay covered and there is an outlet for laptop nearby.

I am tired of being cooped up in my room but I also want to get work done. I would love to do it in fresh air.

Gearing up to remove paint from an old fireplace and I found a few videos on YT where people were using citra-strip and then going over the brick with a toothbrush handle wire brush. Some of the video creators tried the wire brush attachments for a drill but found them not as effective as the hand brush plus they fling stuff everywhere. The fireplace is exposed on 3 sides and rises to the ceiling so that's a lot of scrubbing to do by hand. I got to thinking that what I need is a brush attachment for my oscillating multi tool but on searching various hardware stores' and manufacturers' websites I didn't find anything like what I'm picturing which is basically a wire brush attachment for a multi-tool. Ideally this would be a few rows of straight bristles, essentially the same as the hand brush. It seems like something that would be useful in general but maybe multi tools aren't great for this application? Any thoughts you have are welcome

Wraparound Electric Heating Pad for HIPS

I have pain in both hips and SI joint that makes it difficult to sleep. Heat helps more than anything but I'd need a full wraparound at the hips. Right now I use a heating blanket at night but I'd prefer a wrap that is tighter and goes hotter.

For a while I used https://a.co/d/0bMOf9XC and it was good but not quite long enough for the hip area.

I need creative spots to hide my vape

I just bought one, my parents don’t know, if they find it they kill me.

Please, don’t go with “trash or don’t smoke blah blah blah”

I just need to know where you hide yours. That’s all!

Hello,

I'm looking for a timer device that turns on an appliane with an external button/switch and then keeps the device on for some time (like 5 minutes).

I know there are all sorts of smart plugs, but none of them seem to have timers started by a simple wired external button.

I basically need this but I need the power in to be from a wall plug and the power out to be a plug for an appliance (like a coffee maker or light). For my application it would be important that the switch is just a simple open/closed contact switch.

Device that can secure my hose sprayer to the ground so I don't have to switch to a sprinkler?

I'm the morning I water the garden. Some areas, or when it's dry I like to let soak longer. Rather than unscrew /remove current sprayer and put on a sprinkler, it would be nice if I could just plunk my current hose in the ground to let it run for a bit while I get some other things done before work.

I did use those quick hose attachments, but they broke after 1 season. Thanks a bunch, pals.

Auto-Playlist by Feeling/Lyrics

Am I the Only One who hates the “create station” or auto-playlists that music players today make? Maybe because I really enjoy lyrics… but I don’t want other songs by this and similar artists… I want songs with a similar message or worldview! Idk, maybe it’s just me but if I’m in a “**** the world” mood I don’t just need other songs by that artist, I want other songs saying “**** the world” in their own way, or just like “screw it, I give up” lol. I hope that makes sense. If this already exists PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Thanks all!

A show with the perfect balance of animation and humor

So I’m kind of in search of my next watch. I‘m in love with the animation of Castlevania, but I’m not in the mood for something that dark and serious right now. Is there anything that balances the gorgeous aesthetics of, say, Freiren or The Apothecary Diaries with the humor of What We Do in the Shadows or Smiling Friends?

And before you recommend Bluey: I have watched the whole series.

Alarm clock with numeric keypad and 24h option?

I have an alarm clock where you set the time and alarm time by pressing numbers on a keypad, instead of scrolling through up to 12 hours to reach your target time. It's brilliant. Unfortunately it's AM/PM only -- no option for a 24h display. Where can I find an alarm with both features? 2nd hand ok.
