Titanium eyeglasses with plastic lenses. Small mass. I'd rather use such eyeglasses than having a good vision.

I love my TI-83 Plus. Been using it since I started university and it's never done me wrong ^^

I''m pretty much stuck on L.L. Bean flannel-lined jeans for cold-weather wear. They are tough and well-made, and it's a whole lot more comfortable to pull these on than to put on thermal underwear, and then normal jeans.

I guess I'm pretty stuck on Subaru Foresters, too. My wife totaled ours in a single-car accident, but emerged with no injuries. We have another on order. The Forester was 4 years old, and we'll have to pay an extra $7K (over the value of the insurance check) to move up to a 2013 model with some upgrades.

I love my Honda Ridgeline, but in icy weather, I'd gladly take a Forester with studded snows. Subaru does All-Wheel-Drive superbly. There was really no discussion about what we would buy to replace the wrecked Forester. Foregone conclusion.

I'm a big fan of the Ron Pompeil hair in a can thing. Watching the infomercial where he used it on himself will bring tears to your eyes. Watching it stoned may result in permanent brain damage.

Ultrasonic humidifiers! What a vast improvement these are over the older technologies for humidification. But rather than buying one, I used an ultrasonic garden mist maker and an empty plastic jug. It works as well as units costing over $100, but it cost me about $7.

And it's even adjustable. I had to cut a hole in the jug just above the max water level to vent the vapor. Then, by cutting a hole in the old label on the jug and rotating the label, I can control the flow rate coming out of the jug, from 0-100%.

Very efficient! In less than 8 hours it converted about 20 oz of water to vapor. It has a transformer rated at 29 watts. Also, I had the vent reduced to < ~25% open during this time. So most of the vapor [mist] was going back into liquid.

from a health perspective it makes cigarettes look like child's play.

I think anyone with a degree in physics or engineering has studied Applied Water Jug Theory.
