Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

    I am like this with

    Deviled eggs

    French Fries

    And actually the electric bike, though I didn’t get another. It is just so freaking convenient and we have a few people in the house.

    Oddly enough, not with most drugs, nor drink. But speed, yeah. My kid gets Adderall for ADHD and I told her just keep it in her room I don’t want to see it. Unless I can have it every day for the rest of my life. I really like speed.

        That’s me. The problem is I need longevity. Most of my devices no longer use enough power to use up batteries but I want them To last as long as possible before I have to deal t with them again …… and that’s disposables

        At least we’re no longer doing that with game controllers: no battery lasted in those but my kids were unwilling or unable to manage rechargeable . We all went back to wired controllers so there are no longer batteries to die

        Depends on the device, some really don’t like rechargeable ones. And for device that get changed so infrequently, like tv remote, use alkaline.

          The brand of rechargeable batteries matters a surprising amount, if your device doesn’t play nice maybe try a better brand? My Quest 1 basically only accepts Panasonic Eneloop Pros, I get quite a bit of input lag when using random offbrand rechargeable batteries

            If I had to take a guess, it’s probably from the voltage of the battery, if you have a volt meter/multimeter you can test out how the batteries work before putting them in

          I disagree. Very few devices don’t work anymore, and for things like remotes rechargeables are a no brainer. One time cost and then charging them even once and you’ve made your money back. The only device I always choose alkaline is smoke detectors.

            Well I have the enelope batteries the someone else suggested, and Amazon basic rechargeable. And devices like my Lazer thermometer, certain mice, certain flashlights tend to not operate fully or as long. Thought the device was just on it’s last leg until I popped a generic alkaline in it.

            I don’t have any super fancy high end rechargeable AA batteries, I’ve just noticed over the years they’re not 100% equal in every device. I use rechargeable when I can, but have disposable alkaline if the device sees limited functionality with rechargeable.

      My German ‘must have more’ was the sauerkraut. It is sooo much better there than in the states, and it was slightly different in each town I tried it. My staple meal was whatever the local version was of: sausage, sauerkraut, and wheat beer.

        The food in Germany is completely meh imo, EXCEPT for the restaurant sour kraut - holy shit it is sooooo much better than what we get in the states. Someone told me it’s because they cook it up in some kind of animal lard

          We had different experiences then. I’ve had some meals that I enjoyed quite a bit and still try to replicate. Can’t go wrong with a good schnitzel, kraut, or pommes. I also had a dish with potatoes and bacon, i think was called bratkartoffeln that I would fly back tomorrow for.

    I bought a vibrating sex toy. The battery lasts ~45 minutes. You’re intended to stroke with it, but honestly I enjoy just resting it and laying back for a hands-free experience. 45 minutes isn’t long enough, so i bought another one to keep it going. Turns out 90 minutes still isn’t long enough sometimes, but at that point I have to get it over with and continue my day.

    Side-note

    Taking recommendations for hands-free masturbators.

      At that point, it sounds like you should give yourself some days before masturbating, see if the time drops. Anything that sticks to a surface can be considered hands-free, too

      Yep. This is why I don’t touch alcohol anymore. I don’t have an addiction or dependency, but when I drink a beer it makes me want another, and that one makes we want another. Then I’m hungover and filled with regret the next day. No point to it, so I just don’t do that anymore.

    A cookie.

    Pro tip:

    Grab a cookie, close the packaging or container, go somewhere else, then eat the cookie. You will want another cookie but not enough to actually go back and re-open the packaging.

    Alternatively, eat something more nutritious first, then set a specific amount of cookies you’re allowed to eat. Also, brush your teeth after eating sweet food, such as cookies.

      I’ve also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

      Unfortunately, it’s quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.
