I've been looking for a brace with the bits for years. You can find both on eBay but then you're paying the rip-off price. 99.44% of the time at yard sales and antique stores, you only ever see the brace, never the bits.

12 bucks for this whole shebang at a yard sale today. 20 bits in all, including a countersink and twist drill.

Now I don't have to worry about buying a cordless drill that's mostly made of oil and relies on electricity. These last lifetimes.

Sometimes I find really excellent things on the Internet Archive .

Like an entire album of Beniamino Gigli, the second-best tenor of all time:

(The first-best tenor of all time is Tito Schipa, of course. I just found out there are many of his recordings on the Internet Archive as well.)

I replaced the toner in my printer and printed out all the printer-generated reports to check and see everything was working okay.

One of the the reports is an "Eco Report". It basically tells you you're using too much paper and electricity.

I found out from this report that my printer uses an average of 0.862 KWh per month.
