    Storing superglue in the fridge. Those tiny packs now actually last until I’ve used it all.

      For me, it was buying CA glue from hobby or woodworking shops instead of those tiny packs of “superglue”. Comes in all different thicknesses and with activator usually for a lower cost per gram, and in bottles designed to last until the glue is gone.

        I’m sure brand also plays a role. The three adhesives I use the most, both at home and at work are superglue, epoxy, and threadlocker. And I always use Locktite brand for all three (well, 7 if you count the different strengths of threadlock)

      I store it in the freezer and it lasts forever.

      The only downside is that every time I go to use it, it starts expanding as it heats up and ends up dripping out of the nozzle even when I’m not squeezing it.

      Nothing a bit of paper towel can’t fix but it can become a bit messy.

        Haven’t tried the cap less ones, but wouldn’t surprise me if it also works, at least to a limited degree. Super glue cures because of the moisture in the air, and cold environments are very poor at holding moisture.

          I’ll give it a go. I buy the “single serving” glue because I’m always repairing kid toys, and I hated how it went bad so quickly.

            Same, but I started buying larger ones after it stopped going bad due to the fridge. Most toy repair in my household are usually done with superglue, epoxy, or solder, all of which last forever here. And failihg those, printing a new part is usually an option here.

              If you don’t feel like modeling and printing a part, have you tried epoxy putty?

              It’s great for fixing complex molded shapes, like play dough that hardens to plastic.

    I started running Linux 15 years ago, and switched to Linux as my main daily driver like 10 years ago. And I couldn’t be happier, but I still wish I would have started my Linux journey way sooner, especially since Windows is about as useful as used toilet paper these days…

    Cutting my hair short (like masc).

    Folks insisted “but [my] hair is so nice”, “what if you regret it?” And “but you won’t be able to tie it back.”

    I finally feel like me. I’m almost mad at myself for not doing it like ten years ago. I’m so genuinely happy over a friggin haircut. It’s wild.

    I stopped eating meat for the most part (aka: flexiatarian).

    Go for more walks and eat less meat and tell me you don’t feel better!

    You’re allowed to put banana’s in the fridge to keep them from going bad.

      Best just to eat them. Mmm. If you still have some, make banana bread. I just did today.

    Being more playful. Find more things to laugh and smile about.

    Tap into my inner child, getting back into the things I loved as a child because I am a kidult with free will.

    Sleep with stuffed animals and taking a plushie with me when I go out, despite what people may think.

    Look for glimmer moments in my day.

    The world is a hot pile of shitty dumpster fire, but I won’t let it take away my smile and wonder and laughter. I will be happy in spite of the world

    Buying good thick dedicated mattress without metal parts with firmness matching body weight.
