Grandpa Joey, what’s a CD?
I always wear boots to work. Nobody knows what socks I’m wearing.
I don’t care if other people see me wearing mismatched socks (though with white socks, it’d be tough to notice anyway). I care because mismatched socks are uncomfortable: The textures will be different, and that sort of asymmetry bugs me.
It’s a plastic MP3.
How did you do that? Someone walked off with all but two pieces of my set a decade ago and I’ve been making do with crap Walmart dishes since then.
Someone gifted me a pair of gun storage/hiding magnets. Really powerful with a strong adhesive back, and about the size of a cellphone. I couldn’t think of any guns I wanted to stick on the walls, so I repurposed them.
One goes above my garage worktable, for any project with small screws/parts.
The other is affixed to the inside rear of my pickup’s bed, just next to where the cooler is mounted and beside the attached bottle opener (everyone has these, right?). It’s close enough and powerful enough that just-opened beer bottle tops zip over and attach themselves. After getting home from fishing/camping/etc., I can scrape them all into a bag for disposal. I wish there were some substance that attracted the empty beer bottles, but no one seems to have invented it yet. Magnets might work for beer cans, but I wouldn’t want to appear redneck.
Actually, beer in cans is preferred by most beer connoisseurs. Of course, whether you have cans or bottles, the proper way to enjoy beer is poured into the appropriate style glass.
I know (was at a nice soiree Friday with fancy canned beers n such). I was just clowning around. At first I tried to come up with clever wording about the gun-on-the-wall as art, something about displaying examples of preferred after-dinner weapons of the Houstonian tribes of the early 20th century, but it wasn’t working. I need to outsource my humor some days. 
You can also buy, for a couple of bucks, a metal bowl with magnetic base that you can use to catch bolts, screws and nuts as you’re working on a project.
Go to Google on your smartphone, click the little camera icon on the right of the search bar and it should activate your camera. Take a photo of your plate or bowl and you should get hits to identify/replace.

I managed to fill in missing pieces of my grandmother’s flatware set from the 1940s using them.
Yes, that’s where I got mine!
I don’t know how they do it. They seem to have every pattern ever made.
Drink cans are usually aluminum, not steel. You can repel aluminum with an electromagnet, if you do it right, but there’s not much you can do with aluminum with a permanent magnet.
Those little button batteries…like in hearing aids and automotive key fobs, which are odd-sized and/or expensive…can be recharged with the common and accessible 9 volt battery and a paper clip.
Put the button on the 9 volt…positive to positive…and arc the wire of the paper clip from the negative 9 volt terminal to the negative side of the button, until the button gets hot.
Let cool, and repeat until button no longer noticeably gets hot.
Apart from Guinness, do many beer cans have a device to make it more similar to draught (tap)? Why not?
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout has a widget.
YGBSM. Sounds like a man-hour’s work for 35 cents of benefit.
FYI hearing aid batteries are lithium-air. Which are not really effectively rechargeable above a very low level.
The batteries in the hearing aids that I’ve seen are tiny, last less than a week, and are free at the store where the hearing aids are sold.
The batteries in every key fob I’ve had are about the size of a nickel, and there’s usually two of them in a fob, and they usually last a couple of years. I just replaced the batteries in my Ford Edge fob, and the package of two cost me about six bucks.
I wouldn’t ever consider recharging either of these batteries.
IME the little button/disc batteries are cheaper than big ol’ 9-volts.
YWMV. (Your Walmart May Vary.)
