I strongly agree. One thing to add to your list: easily being able to lift things in and out of the bed, even from the side.

Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Depending where you live, you may also need to heat your house anyway, so you really aren't losing any energy at all by using the oven.

Worst keyboard layouts? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm similar to you. Used Dvorak for quite a while but switched back to Qwerty. I never really had any speed gains but I definitly had a lot of comfort gains.

Those are not nearly as conveniently located for left handed use though. Having z x c and v all easily reachable with my left pinky on control and my right hand on my mouse tops any other benefit of another keyboard layout.

I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yeah, I remember using it on an actual original Xbox.

Dentures in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Sadly, dentures don't usually just fall in the toilet. They come loose during vomiting. As a plumber, I always feel extra bad when getting them out of a toilet.

Does a surge protector for a whole circuit exist? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I'd like to protect them all with a single surge protector.

I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can't find such a device.

The two closest things I've found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won't protect anything else on the circuit.

I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.

Does anyone know if what I'm imagining actually exists?
