I ended up buying a rice cooker, and plan on buying an e-reader. Thanks, everyone.

Do you have a link to home gym setup?

Ever since covid I'm not too keen on public gyms.

Robot vacuume Good running shoes A good pair of headphones

Cross-body bags. Uniform black handkerchiefs. Good charging cables.

Audible. I used to pirate audiobooks and get them transferred to my phone and then use a glitchy audiobook app to listen to them which semi frequently lost my place.

Audible just made my life easy. The 1 credit a month is a bit shit but I listen to long ass books anyway (30+ hours) so I haven't really noticed.

recently? hawkins 3L stovetop pressure cooker - I use it at least twice a week, mostly with beans, rice, root vegetables. been using for about 18 months. no issues whatsoever.

historically?

• ecco shoes, the pair I had for 9 years just wore out last week so I decided to try a different brand.
• filson coat (double mackinaw), it's a beast, but I only wear it 5 months out of the year - in the late fall/winter/early spring
• hp 9480m laptop, have had it for 10 years now, daily use, had no issues at all. no changes, other than updating it to win10 5 or 6 years ago
• all-clad steel cookware (pots/pans/skillets), had the set for around 15 years, works really well.
• futon mattress, custom made, 6' wide, 7' long, 6" thick, had it for 20 years now. super comfortable

just about everything else wears out, breaks, or in the case of most electronics, has planned obsolescence built in after 3 or 4 years.

We got lasik for my fiance and that was hands down the best money we ever spent. Life changing really.

Roland TD-07KV electronic drum kit. I've played 15 years of death metal on this thing and it's still going strong!

Dyson stick vacuum - vacuuming went from a chore to a simple, almost enjoyable task.

Snowcaster Snowblade - For 2-3 inches of snow max but when using it you will question reality as your back feels nothing.

A display unit LG C1 that only had 36+ hours total usage for like $650. It's true that once you go OLED, every other screen looks mediocre.

Logitech G502 for all the programmable buttons. I’m left handed and use a drawing tablet for work and having all my hotkeys accessible on my right hand keeps my work flow consistent.

One of my best purchases was an Omnium Mini-max cargo bike. It covers so many trips where I felt the lack of a car was a hinderance, and provides a ton of fun besides. Just wen't bike touring with the thing, and the volume advantage compared to a regular bike setup allowed me to bring such luxuries as an actual, real, authentic pillow.

Robot vacuum. I got the Eufy Robovac on a black Friday sale and have never fucking looked back. Those things are magic, especially if you have a kid or a pet.
