I don't think I have anything to recommend that isn't a fairly common home tool in the U.S.

Nice sets of metric and imperial wrenches, and at least one adjustable crescent wrench. You'll use the wrenches all the time, and at a basic level you can get away with just an adjustable crescent wrench. Fixed wrenches are much nicer to use, and it's super useful to be able to use a fixed wrench and the adjustable wrench for those bolts where neither end is fixed.

A flat pry bar. It's definitely not necessary, but I find them really helpful. It's much easier to remove nails than the claw on a hammer, and it's really helpful for applying leverage in a variety of situations.

A circular saw, chop saw, or table saw. A powered saw is another extremely helpful tool, but you don't need all three of these. Most people should pick one and I'd prioritize them for in this order.

Random orbit sander. Sanding by hand takes forever and it just sucks. If you use it even once it will have been worth the purchase.

Battery powered shop lights, from whatever brand you've bought power tools from. Having a handful of lights you can move to anyplace you need them is really helpful. I think every tool maker these days also makes something like this, just buy the ones you already have batteries for.

Shopvac. Immensely helpful for cleaning up the dust and crap created whenever you working on the house. You can integrate them into most of your power tools (might need some adapters) so that you're working cleaner, and you won't burn it out like you could with a household vacuum.

I like OCBD shirts a lot. It's my go to officewear if I'm not wearing a tie that day. I always have a light blue in rotation and lately I've also had a pink and/or lilac. Otherwise I'm pretty loose on colors and patterns. If I'm ordering shirts, I'm likely to throw in an OCBD in a color I don't currently have.

I feel like the Brooks Brother's OCBD isn't as durable or nice as it used to be. I ordered two from them about a year ago and had to send one back immediately because the shoulder seam was frayed on delivery.

I want to like the OCBD from Ledbury, but they style them short so you can wear them untucked. Since I don't wear them untucked, they're just short and come untucked all the time. If you like to wear them untucked, you're in luck it's a really nice shirt apart from being short.

I don't recall the specific circumstances, it was something along the lines of having my hands full and trying to take things in from the car.

Has this really never happened to you or anyone you know? It's not exactly common, but it's happened to most people at one time or another. I suppose this is probably a generational thing, and harder to do with modern cars.

I've used this feature once to unlock the car after I forgot the keys inside. It's nice enough to have, but that's about the only scenario I'm likely to ever use for.

I think I'd still say it's a white movie. It's about masculinity, consumerism, and class which are universal challenges, but it looks at them through the lens of how they impact white men.

I moved and had to switch about 4 years ago. I really considered driving 2+ hours back to my old barber.

I'm happy with my new barber, but switching was really uncomfortable.

I have two strategies for barbers, one is to bring in photos. I've been told I look like Seth Rogen, so I looked through a bunch of his photos to find a haircut I liked. That way I had a decent idea what I'd look like with that haircut.

The second is to never switch barbers. It's nice to have someone who recognizes my preferences on the whole experience.

I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I make pour over coffee daily, have a fancy grinder, and am particular about buying locally roasted coffee sourced from certain regions. My wife is a tea person and never drinks coffee. I'm at most mildly disappointed that we don't share my love for coffee. I would definitely be more into coffee as a hobby if it was an interest we shared, so it might even be a blessing in disguise.

I don't care at all about anyone else's level of interest in coffee.

I've heard that Athletic is good, but I haven't tried it. Hard disagree about Heineken NA.

That's really fun. 82 🟩🟩🟨🟨🟨

NA (non alcoholic) beer.

I enjoy beer, even the macro-brewery styles. Every NA beer I've tried is the dishwater tasting worst example of beer. I don't get it. There are so many better NA options.
