Smarter smoke alarm<\/strong>
\nI am gradually replacing the chirping alarms in my house with Nest Protects. As my old wired smoke and CO2 alarms need batteries, I swap them out with\u00a0Nest Protects<\/a>. They need batteries less often, they talk to the other Nest Protects I have, relaying alerts from distant areas of the house, they provide specific spoken alarms (\u201csmoke in the basement\u201d), and they can message alarms while I am away. All in all, it\u2019s a smarter system. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Reality check on AI<\/strong>
\nAI is moving fast, but the faster it goes the more we realize how far away the destination is. The best reality check of the status of AI I\u2019ve read recently is\u00a0this summary article<\/a>.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Change the color of hyperlinks<\/strong>
\nWhen I look at Google search results in the Chrome browser, I have difficulty telling the difference between the default colors of the links for previously visited and unvisited sites. One is blue and the other is blue-purple. I found a Chrome extension that solves my problem. It\u2019s called\u00a0Color Links<\/a>. It does just one thing – lets me choose a custom color for visited links. I chose orange. There\u2019s no mistaking one type of link for the other now. Here\u2019s\u00a0what it looks like<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Cheap bag hooks<\/strong>
\nDaiso has folding bag hooks for a $1.50 which is the cheapest price I\u2019ve ever come across. These are great for when you\u2019re at a bar or restaurant and have no where to hang your bag. I bought a few to keep in different purses so I\u2019m never without one. If you don\u2019t have a Daiso in your city, you can\u00a0order them in bulk here<\/a>. I also recommend\u00a0this giant clip<\/a>\u00a0that can hold up to 30 pounds which is better for backpacks. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Powerful tube squeezer<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0Big Squeeze Tube Squeezer<\/a>\u00a0($39) forces every last drop of goop out of a tube. It can handle tubes up to 3 \u215c\u201d wide. To use it, insert the end of the tube between the two rollers, squeeze the handle and turn the key. The tube is completely flattened, and because of the serrated design of the rollers, the tube is crimped so it stays flat. I\u2019ve used it on tubes of toothpaste, acrylic paint, and lithium grease. It\u2019s all metal and heavy duty.\u00a0Photo here<\/a>.\u00a0 \u2014 M<\/p>\n

Drink more water<\/strong>
\nI discovered (as an adult) that drinking water is way more enjoyable when I\u2019m drinking it through a crazy straw. I ordered a bunch of them from Amazon (36pk\/$10<\/a>). It\u2019s tricked me into consuming more water throughout the day and I imagine it\u2019ll probably work on kids too. Also, here are\u00a08 signs you\u2019re not drinking enough water<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
