There's a subtlety to that art. It isn't all blunt-force trauma, and it isn't all quick hits. A good payoff can take months of quiet ground work.

Why on earth to they make all of the yard tools so dang hard to use for people with small hands? Is it so hard to maybe sell an adapter kit for larger or smaller than average people?
I got the Ryobi One+ string trimmer and the battery. The battery is supposed to disengage with one hand gripping the buttons on the side of the battery and pulling while holding the charger or the trimmer with the other hand. I can barely get a grip on both triggers to pull.
It is operated by holding the handle and pulling a trigger style switch. I have to grip really hard to stretch my hand enough to keep it activated, so my hands hurt so much after a couple days of this. My hands are just too small to comfortably hold and trigger the thing for any length of time.

Maybe find a way to 3d print something to hold the trigger down or tape the trigger permanently on.
Sadly the target demographic of those tools is not for people with small hands. I have a problem with phones, and it's the opposite. The insides are not meant to be repaired by people with big hands.

With today's phones I often have to use both hands to do a lot of things that people usually do with one hand. I just don't have the reach to hold the phone in one hand and be able to reach the entire screen with a thumb.
I had a similar problem with motorcycle gloves. I would buy extra smalls and still have more than 1/2" of empty glove at the ends of my fingers.

I have a Pixel 4, and would be reluctant to give it up for a newer phone due to the screen size. This phone has a screen small enough to the point where I don't have to strain my hand to reach the top, yet large enough to fit a decent amount of content. My parents have the Pixel 6a, and it is taller than this phone and requires a wee bit of strain to hit the top of the screen. My old phone was a Note 9, and I loved the big screen, but hated how clunky it was (and is).

I have a Pixel 5. I want to upgrade to something that either has a micro SD slot or has more storage space.

Pretty much all modern phones except the budget models don't have SD slots. I'd go for a Pixel 7 with 256GB of storage or more and put LineageOS on it.
Pixels are still some of the smallest form factor phones and you can get them with a lot more memory. Just depends on what you really want to spend and how much storage you want. My wife's petite and she likes her iphone, but it's not a 1 hander for most things for her.

I bought mine used. $130. I did have to spend another $70 to fix the battery eventually. It was puffy.
I don't know what happened but I haven't been as hungry recently, I searched up some possible causes but none of them sound right
