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

      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.

      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 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.

    Downward facing dog -> upward facing dog -> child pose

    My lower stomach and digestion work so much better when I remember to do this.

        I mean that is kinda it, it is a simple body motion I never learned until yoga that clearly I was supposed to be doing because my body just digests/does all the gassy stuff better, this whole time I just didn’t know.

        No one told me “Do downward facing dog, your tummy will feel better!” I just discovered it from doing it so I feel like I wish I discovered that way sooner.

    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!

    Meditation and philosophical inquiry. Spent a lot of time believing the default vaguely-Christian-materialist-dualist framework that western culture has been brainwashing people into for centuries, pretending it’s “objectively true”.
