Stovetop Espresso<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve owned a few different stovetop espresso makers, and my favorite is the\u00a0Milano 6-cup from Grosche<\/a>. I especially like the handle that extends far enough from the pot to keep from getting too hot to touch. It\u2019s $27, but they currently have a $3 discount code on the product page. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Catalog of handicap solutions<\/strong>
\nWhen I\u2019m searching for something to help with a mobility issue in myself or another, I found looking in this pdf catalog of occupational therapy devices by\u00a0Functional Solutions<\/a>\u00a0to open my eyes to what\u2019s been invented before and already available. They have a lot of cool things for temporary disabilities (say\u00a0an incapacitated limb) and for old age aids, like ergonomic kitchen utensils, doorknob extenders, or bathroom fixtures. You can\u2019t order from this industry catalog, but you can find the items elsewhere online. Or make one yourself. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Heart emoji breakdown<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s a happy blog post:\u00a0What Every Heart Emoji Really Means<\/a>. Just happy stats about which heart emoji is the most popular, what meanings have been attributed to the different colored hearts, and what the heart emojis translate to on different devices. This is just a personal plea for more use of the heart emoji all around. Also, I just discovered \u201cheart exclamation”\u2763\ufe0f \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

What to Watch<\/strong>
\nJust type\u00a0\u201cwhat to watch\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in the Google search bar and you\u2019ll be presented with what appears to be an algorithmically curated offering of popular shows. Somehow, the list it generates is better suited to my interests than\u00a0Just Watch<\/a>\u00a0or other streaming recommendation services. You can filter by TV show or movie and by genre and, most importantly to me, subgenre (like \u201cHorror dramas\u201d). \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

“Do not buy” list<\/strong>
\nPiggy-backing on an\u00a0old recomendo tip for budgeting<\/a>, my wishlists have morphed into a \u201cDo not buy\u201d list I keep on my phone. At the end of 2020, I went through all the product links I saved that I didn\u2019t buy and asked myself if I still wanted them. Most of them were a resounding \u201cNo\u201d and then deleted. Only a few were redirected to my husband for Christmas. The list continues to grow and money continues to be saved. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Movie scene search<\/strong>
\nFlim<\/a>\u00a0is a new AI search engine that will search inside of movies, kind of. So if I am looking for all the scenes in any movie where someone is wearing a pirate hat, I can in theory find all the instances of that. In practice Flim will return many of them but many other hat scenes, too. Or I might want to find all scenes in movies with gold bars. Flim can find the gold, but not all bars. Right now, the beta version of Flim search is far from perfect, but way better than nothing if you want to search deep inside movie scenes by keywords. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
