I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

An ebike: I don't even really drive anymore most of the time and it beats the hell out of being stuck in traffic. Getting around is fun again.

I always enjoyed cycling and still ride my MTB, but for getting around town quickly, ebikes are hard to beat.

Hell many people can get by with just a cheapo e-scooter.

Privately owned ones are illegal in the UK :( you can only use ones owned by rental services and they're only in a few cities

I meant illegal on public roads...so effectively illegal if you want to use one as a car alternative for short distances
