Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.

    I just bought a cordless stick vacuum, which can also mop. It was on a good discount (450€ -> 150€) and I’ve been thinking of getting something like that for a while. I don’t necessarily need it, but it has been a very great tool since I have people come over every week and I have a child and there are spills of food and drinks. It really cleans up well and mops the floor also. 10/10 would recommend.

        I checked the tineco and seems like it’s pretty similar. I have a robo vacuum also and it handles the carpets like a champ, so they work pretty well in tandem. The robovac also mops, but for cleaning spills the stick vacuum is faster and easier to use. I hate cleaning (don’t know many who loves it tbh) so every bit that makes it easier is a win for me.

    A Skil Electric screwdriver.
    I thought it was gimmicky but it was $20 about 8 years ago and I thought it might be useful sometimes, I use the every living shit out of that thing to this day, and it’s still going

      Same here, but I must say the platforming is a lot harder than I was expecting. Diagonal pogo is really messing me up. I can’t consistently get past those pogo bouncy fruit ball things and I’m stuck now. Hopefully it clicks soon.

        In case you’re playing with controller, use the d-pad. Just hold left/right and down and you will always perform the pogo bounce instead of hitting air.

          I’ve been trying but it keeps breaking my brain for some reason. I’ll keep trying. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it. Thanks.

    I bought a pint for an acquaintance at my philosophy discussion group because he was moving away and this was his last session. I’m pretty poor at the moment, so even a small purchase like this was a lot. It was definitely worth it though, because it convinced him to stay for a while longer than he would have (the group session is held upstairs in a pub, but afterwards there’s usually informal discussions that continue downstairs in the main pub).

    It felt very much like I was performing human socialisation in a deliberate, but nice way. I already told the dude that I would miss his presence at the group, but buying a farewell drink for him was a way of reiterating that sentiment.

    A used Wii-U in immaculate condition. Windwaker is one of my favorite games, and it’s even better in HD. $48.

    Demon’s Tilt on the Switch. I’d been vaguely interested in it for a while and it was on sale for $10. I played a little and enjoyed it but I think it’s gonna be one of those things I have to be in the mood for, and I’m just not today. I’ve spent $10 on dumber things, so no, I don’t regret it.

    My son works at a motorcycle dealer. He sends me a pic of a bike they just got in. A CBR1000RR-RSP. Well after putting on my boots and asking him if it’s for sale, they said they would sell it to me. The person who ordered it had to back out so if I could make it down there it was mine. I hopped on my 2001 CBR and headed to the store where I bought the bike. And to answer the question, YES it was definitely worth it. That motorcycle is the absolute hands down smoothest machine I have ever been on. It’s like riding a stick of butter down a teflon pan. I still can’t believe I own one as I honestly never even thought I would ever even see one in the wild.

      Awesome.

      215 horsepower out of a street legal, featherweight 1 liter NA engine is ‘normal’ now I guess, but it still boggles my mind. And its low inertia! If you sent that thing back in time, engine designers’ heads would explode.

        Totally agree. The amount of hp this bike has blows my mind. But the thing like I said is just how smooth it is in the delivery and execution. The shifts are smooth and effortless, and the throttle is just smooth. You can dial in the power you want with different settings, so you can tone it down for things like riding in the rain. It’s so much different than my 01, which was just raw power and no electronic goodies other than fuel injection. I love having both, and have a ton of miles on the 01 which I am looking forward to matching with the new bike.

        That’s it. I got a 25 model, but it looks basically the same. They tweaked some internals from 24 to 25, but that’s the bike. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, and I jumped on it. Definitely my largest impulse buy ever. I figure my friends all think I am having a mid life crisis, but it’s just a dream bike of mine that I never would have fathomed I would have a snowballs chance in hell of owning.

    Registered for a fan run Nancy Drew -esque 3 day event in WA for 2026. Went to the one this year and it was a blast, registered right before it filled up.

    I guess it was a new camera bag. I didn’t need it, but I wanted it. Turns out, having a bag with a long enough strap to go cross body makes it a lot easier to lug around my camera, a handful of lenses, and my tripod for a few hours while I walk around. Totally worth it.
