Ask Lemmy

I have items for home and work:

Most of the year, my work gear is stored in the shed so I have all of these duplicated in the house.

Drills - a fullsized drill at home and a mini one for at work mostly to drive nuts and bolts.

Hand tools - screwdrivers, bits, wrenches, box cutter.

Headlamps - a small AAA at home and a AA at work.

Clothes - Like most people, I have dedicated work clothes.

AA batteries

Phone chargers - Home, car, and work. I also have multiple battery banks.

Headphones - an older corded pair at home and newer BT ones at work.

I have two teeshirts, but strictly speaking only one is required. This is because of social pressure

Rock hammers. For, uh...reasons.

Also, as others have mentioned, clothes sets. Work wear is not what I wear on my own time, including shoes. But I could just wear one set (either work or casual) and I don't think anyone would care.

Classic cars. Triples is best.

I have multiple monitors for entertainment and for work.

I have my main tool set in my utility room, a subset of tools in my main cave and another subset in my garage.

Multiple pairs of jeans.

My kitchen is well provisioned with multiple redundant utensils. Also I have a double oven.

I am in the process of expanding my utility room to have two washers and two driers.

Guitars. I have a whole stable, including a couple of electrics (Strat and Les Paul), and a few acoustics (My favorite, a backup, another one with a nice tone that is also electric, and a nice travel/parlor guitar).

I also have a short scale electric bass, and an acoustic bass. Also a couple of nice ukuleles.

I'm still on the hunt for a small all-mahogany acoustic, a 12 string acoustic, and a good semi-hollow body that isn't white, red, or black. I'm also always looking for a good deal on a new electric bass. Also a banjo and mandolin.

I'm not in a band, I don't even play with others, I just like to record my own music, both originals and covers, that nobody ever hears but me. And I delusionally believe I need a shit-ton of guitars to do that.

Well, I have a bunch of stuff around here that serves no real purpose that I'm otherwise sentimentally attached to or think might be useful some day, but I'm not sure I have many duplicates, even loosely speaking.

The best(?) example is probably the fact I have 3 CRT TVs, none of which I use regularly. One is the main house TV but, since I don't use it much, I've never felt the need to upgrade it. The other two are portables that I'm keeping for if I ever get back into 8-bit computers.

Somehow I've ended up with 3 laptops. It's rare to have all 3 on at the same time but it happens.

Hand lotion, lip balm.

I buy my hair gel in liters when the price goes low enough, not when I need it, so have two or three liters sometimes.

Two dogs and two cats because people left them with us. I'd be good with one cat.

Smol keyboards. Each one was my endgame, but I still like them 🤗

I have two color laser printers. The old one is a Dell branded printer from about 15 years ago and was about the cheapest color laser printer you could buy at the time. It has some issues now particularly with color printouts, and combined with poor Linux support meant I went ahead and bought its replacement, a much nicer Brother model. But as the old printer can still give acceptable results for some things I'm keeping it until it runs out of toner which could be a while.

On top of that I still have an HP LaserJet 4 but that's been disconnected for a while. Still prints but desperately needs new rollers.

gameboys

Smoking pipes..

It's an addiction (pun not intended)

I believe that I have maybe 25-30 pipes at this point

Coffee machines. Three roommates, each one brought theirs.

Cajons. I have two, because after I got one my husband loved it and demanded i get another, basically. They are handy as bonus seats and as a barrier to keep dogs out though, on top of just being fun to thwack.

Kidneys and thinkcentres.

Earbuds. They're absolutely essential and have the durability of wet toilet paper
