Bed bolt covers

Is there light coming through your peephole? Now there’s not.

Inflation calculator app

Anytime I’m reading a book or watching a show or movie set in a different period, or talking to my older family members and a monetary figure is mentioned, I run to this app to calculate the current equivalent. It adds great — if sometimes bleak — context.
