Proper leather boots. I got the red wing irons rangers. Took 3 months of to break them in but it was worth it. Now I have boots that will last me half my life if I take good care of them, plus they fit like a glove!

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

One of those nice traveling Bluetooth speakers about half the size of a brick. Whenever I travel I bring it and it is a huge improvement having music that sounds good everywhere.

It was more than I wanted to spend but it was money well spent these many years later.

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

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.

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

Glerups. I wear them all day

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

  • Kettle barbecue
  • Charcoal pit + rotisserie
  • Air fryer
  • Small benchtop induction cooker

The top two have resulted in some of the tastiest meat I've ever cooked. I chucked away my gas barbecue recently. The bottom two are just way more efficient (and environmentally friendly, with my solar) for small meals, rather than the natural gas hob and/or big electric oven.

Air Fryer. Got one for $30 on a black friday sale a couple of years ago and it paid for itself within a week for the amount of time, effort, and oil saved.

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
