Yeah that tracks - Good take. On APS-C, try your kit zoom at 35mm and again around 50–55mm, shoot wide open with your subject far from the background - that’ll show you which prime feels right before you buy. Under $300, a 50mm f/1.8 (or 35mm f/1.8 on crop) new or used will nail the look; if you’ve got space outdoors, an 85mm f/1.8 gives extra compression but is usually too long indoors. Once you get it, shoot around f/2–f/2.2 for a bit more sharpness without losing the creamy blur.

One bundle is neat, but rotating feels like swapping CDs again.

Honestly, that lightheaded wobble hit me too when I started 16:8 between kid drop-off and a surprise 9 a.m. meeting. It is usually an adjustment thing from lower blood sugar and not enough fluids. Drink water early, add a pinch of salt or an electrolyte tab, and go easy on coffee on an empty stomach. Make your first meal protein heavy with some carbs, or shift your window earlier for a week, even 14:10, till your body catches up. If you are actually near fainting, have medical conditions, or it does not settle in a week or two, eat and call your doc rather than powering through.

From a safety standpoint the voltage number is not the issue here, and Five lithium cells in series is common across these tools, so the chemistry aligns. blocking factor is the mechanical shoe and the electrical handshake. Packs carry a thermistor and sometimes communication lines that the tool expects to see. Hard wiring or shaving plastic to make something fit can bypass protections and that is not worth it for a drill you will lean on. If you must use an adapter keep it to low current tasks and understand you are outside the intended design.

Pick one primary, not both. Set a 10 minute weekly alarm, open Google Photos, tap Utilities, Review suggestions, and nuke screenshots and duplicates. Heart the keepers, delete the rest, then hit Free up space to clear device copies. Turn off auto save from Messages and WhatsApp to stop the flood.

I do a tiny pre-squat circuit so my knees shut up. Thirty ankle pumps, ten slow bodyweight squats to a box, then loaded sets. It cut the noise by half and kept reps consistent.
