Latest research news<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To stay informed on the latest research news, I subscribe to ScienceDaily<\/a>, which is a comprehensive digest of research news across various fields. I follow ScienceDaily through Feedly, but I recently noticed that they now offer a Substack newsletter<\/a>. Subscribing through Substack allows you to choose a once-a-week digest tailored to your topic interests, such as Health, Technology, Society, or Environment. Alternatively, you can opt to receive only the top featured research news in a daily email. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small touch-controlled bedside lamp with charging ports<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This minimalist bedside lamp<\/a> has a touch-sensitive top that cycles through three brightness levels with a tap \u2014 perfect for fumble-free nighttime control. It has built-in USB ports for charging devices. It’s small so it doesn’t take up much bedside table space and has a stable base that prevents tipping. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocado tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a steady stream of perfectly ripe avocados, let a bag of avocados come to near ripeness, and put them into a ziplock bag and place them in a refrigerator. They\u2019ll remain in near-ripeness until you take them out one by one, a day before you want to eat them. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bargain mattresses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Auto tires are such a bargain at Costco that many folks get a Costco membership just for the tires. Mattresses are a similar bargain. You can get high quality branded mattresses \u2013 including classic bedspring models \u2013 for a lower price from Costco than from almost anywhere else. And Costco will deliver to the room, set up, and haul away your old mattress at no extra cost. And you can order them online<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free maze generator<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This website<\/a> allows you to customize and create mazes in various shapes and sizes. I find maze puzzles to be a mindfulness practice and very soothing to get lost in. You can export the generated mazes as PNG, SVG, or PDF files, and they are free to use in any non-commercial way you want. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
