A decent pair of scissors with a coating on the blades.
A barometer
Upgrading my USB3 external drives cables (USB3 micro B) from the old A connector to C connector
Pocket knife
Rechargeable headlamp
KD polorized sunglasses
3 meter charge cable for the phone
IR remote for the laptop (LibreELEC/Kodi)
0.5L waterproof bag inside my backpack for electronics
RGB / cool & warm white LED string with remote
magnetic phone mount with a suction cup

I think that's everything I use everyday under $20 without being ridiculous. And I do use each of these multiple times a day.

What are you using a barometer for so frequently?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's what I wanna know. I'd love a barometer but I cannot think of any reason why lol

Get one! Learn to predict the weather by keeping an eye on pressure changes. It could be a little hobby.
