I bought the Rockwell 6S razor a few years ago and it's one of the best purchases i've ever made.

Electrostatic capacitive rubber dome keyboard. …Such a pillowy, smooth travel compared to every mechanical keyboard. I wish there were higher demand so I could get an ergonomic one instead of basically being limited to what Topre or NiZ release.

Satellite water pump.

Initial investment is huge bill, but it pays itself off than monthly water bill.

Also, the water is clean.

Small foldable bathtub. When I say small, I mean still big enough to drown myself if I wanted to.

Along with that I also bought a suction cup phone holder for cars that I put on the wall. Hands free YouTube videos while soaking in almost boiling water.

40 bucks total for a simple but nice comfort

Nothing really fancy here but:

  • Clevo NV41MZ Laptop, a beast compared to my stupid T495 thinkpad and corebootable! Very hard to find.
  • my roadbike, its very classy 2001 stuff, Campagnolo Daytona (this series doesnt even exist anymore) but its fast as hell and looks great. Just love racing through the streets
  • that damn Jack&Jones Winter jacket I got 5 years ago. Already had a burn hole from fireworks, but apart from that I went through so much with it and its still like new.

Got myself a samaung galaxy active a couple months back for like 20$ off ebay. Its a nice reminder to keep my body moving and helps lose some of the weight I put up over the years. I do however keep it offline now and just manually record my info for privacy sake. Looking to get a casio royal as a more general watch for myself this christmas and keep my active as a workout watch instead

Ski goggles. They protect your eyes in the heart of winter from freezing winds and keep your glasses from fogging up or getting wet. They're great for stopping snow blindness too. 10/10

Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X headphones. Love the sound profile on them.

MSFT right when it dropped to $40 per share around . Too bad I wasn't making much and I couldn't afford too many shares back then.

These are some items which I have purchased. which I've gotten alot of practicality and enjoyment out of

  • oculus quest 2

  • alliexpress h61 lga 1155 motherboard

  • aoc gm500 mouse

  • stadia midnight blue controller

  • i7 3770

  • macbook air 2012 4gb

They've served me well especially that little old but still gold quadcore and the motherboard highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a gaming beast would combo well with 16gb,rx 570

Reinforced binder paper where the holes are triangles and reinforced with tape. I hadn't had to deal with my papers getting ripped out of a binder/refillable notebook since getting them
