    I know this sounds so overblown to someone who isnt me haha but the pillow stand has made such an impact to my quality of life and im so truly grateful that you decided to review it
    Id been looking for a phone stand i could use without knocking it over or it falling for about 2 years.
    This has made such a difference for me as someone disabled who was struggling to even hold my phone to use it because i was having to position myself so awkwardly to use it.
    Truly thank you so much.
    Amazon in the UK doesnt seem to have the company selling it anymore, just third party sellers, which are so much more expensive. Hope it comes back in stock soon so i can buy some spares as its made such a difference i dont want to risk being without it in all honesty.
    Thank you again

    I use a presto plug to move the outlet from behind my bookcases. I’ve plugged in a smartplug to control a lamp. The outlet now is on the wall at a good height for me and is positioned in the small width of wall between the bookcases and the window. I don’t use it for anything else. I could have used drywall anchors to install a power strip to the wall but the Presto was just simpler.

    For the presto plug, it's not all about "how it looks", it's about functionality. Imagine those times when you "hide" a plug by putting something large in front of it. Especially for plugs that are not flat. It looks like it'd work for making that particular outlet more accessible.

    In order to keep bread fresh I freeze it. Just make sure when you put the bread in the freezer that it's flat and level with no kinks.
    If you can't get two pieces of bread apart take a butter knife and they will pop right apart. If you absolutely need your bread thawed out Pop it in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
    The only cost is freezer space.

Now that I'm working and don't have as much money for food (yes, you read that right), I don't really use mine that much. But I still got a pair of them for my mom. I doubt she uses them, though. Them, and the Tile trackers I got her so she stops losing her keys and everything 😅

    The Bluetooth attachment for the car works really well my mother has had it in her car for like 3 years and it’s really helpful. I’ve never tried calling someone while connected or if I have I haven’t noticed and no one has said it’s horrible lol so I’m not sure about that part. The 1 issue I’ve had over having it for so long is the screen on the device has faded so it’s extremely hard to see especially during the day time with the sunlight, you’re most likely already gonna be connected after having it for so long so it’s not a crazy issue because all you gotta do is keep it on the same radio channel and connect like normal and it’ll work fine ( Changing the radio channel is the only problem when the screen fades)

    When you made toast in the toaster oven, you commented that it only browned in the last 30 seconds. That's the way all toasters work. Bread has a lot of water in it, so for the first several minutes, the toaster/toaster oven is just evaporating the water out of the bread. Once the water is gone, the bread browns quickly.

    I don't remember seeing the FM transmitter review, but I have the exact same one! Never used the SD card or the mic. I don't remember if I knew they uhh existed. I just use it to play bluetooth on my phone because sadly my car doesn't have that feature. Not as good as having it built-in but better than nothing - and I've had issues with aux cords wearing out, and it's harder to skip songs with just an aux cord.

      My own 1-year update because I didn't realize I'd seen this video already ahaha - unfortunately it's having the same issues as my previous bluetooth FM transmitter eventually did, and it's hard to tell if it's due to my phone, the car, or the transmitter. I briefly had success when making my car "forget" the device and then reconnect, but lately it's instead telling my phone that it's requesting to pair, then never going through with it. I recently bought an aux cord, that's how bad it's gotten, but it feels a shame to get a new transmitter if the problem turns out to be my phone.

    Are the “Laser Scissors” supposed to only work when you draw a line with a pencil/marker?

    I think the lasers scissors would be better if right before you started to cut you could aim for a straight line and then “lock” the laser in place and then just follow that line so it wouldn’t move around

    I forgot you reviewed the pillow phone stand! I got one just recently to replace my bed tablet holder and I'm really liking it. It's much more comfortable to sleep next to than my last all hard plastic tablet holder (sadly this means I cradle a tablet and sleep with videos playing all night, but whores will have their trinkets!)

    The laser scissor could have worked if the laser was separate like a clip that you put on the other side of where you’re cutting to follow the line
