    I used to dislike the holidays greatly. The whole family drama, being forced to attend religious services, the sloppy levels of drinking and arguing etc.

    These days I ignore it all, don't attend any religious nonsense, and don't drink. I show up, eat the food, and enjoy the moment for what it is - another holiday spent with my family, a family who is aging and who one day will be gone.

    My main hobby was just general dicking around with old computers, storing parts, collecting weird stuff, repairing them for myself and for others etc.

    I sold off or trashed all that worthless garbage and moved on to reading books non-stop. But that flame is also burning out and I'm running out of interests to hyper focus on.

    Okay I'm ready to stop lurking and contribute.

    Military surplus:
    down filled mummy sleeping bags (the less synthetic materials the less you sweat)
    Wool blankets (they're itchy to remind you how lucky you really are)
    Desert combat boots (excellent for yard work, construction etc)
    Ammo cans (for nearly indestructible storage needs)
    A trench shovel (always keep in your car)

    Other stuff I can think of:
    A bidet
    A good multi tool like Gerber or leatherman (I have a few but the leatherman micra is my favorite)
    A bench top power supply

    Good thing they're dime a dozen at Walmart! I take one with me camping/fishing all the time. One is stainless steel and the other clear glass with an obnoxiously blue LED illuminating the base of it.

    I love you for recommending tools, I love having the right tool for the job versus using sheer willpower and HE-MAN intelligence to try and work on something.

    Am from US and have never in my life met anyone who boiled water in a microwave. Everyone had a stove top kettle.

    Edit: wondering I'd I did something wrong, or more accurately I did something right since not being nagged all the time is great.

    I got fed up trying to get ePSXe working on linux, so I threw in the towel and got the android version. Been playing random PS1 games for about a day now.

    Oh and having one or two really good quality friends that actually want to hang out would be nice.
