What are your top 3 purchases of all time? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

There's 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

  1. Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.

  2. Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What's not to like.

  3. My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

I might be misunderstanding your edit question, but I think you did it?

It's just Enter twice to force a new paragraph using Markdown.

No. it's really strange and only happens with numbers. I entered everything just like one would, with double spaces, each item starting with 1., 2., etc. Nothing I did would make it come out with a gap.

It only worked after I changed the first letter of the section to an asterisk (to make the subject bold). Also, like you see here paragraphs that start with anything other than a number work fine.

  1. It's

  2. Only

  3. Numbers

4. Asterisks

5. Work

6. Fine

I'm using sync, but I doubt that matters.

Numbers at the start of a line followed by a dot signifies a numbered list item. If you just want the numbers without it being considered a list item, you need to escape the dot like this:

  1. This is a list item
    With line break

1. This is not
With line break

1. This is a list item  
With line break

1\. This is not  
With line break
