Never heard of springs settling before.

I just stumbled on it on a forum while researching.

I will do it when things have calmed down at work, the week after next things will have calmed down.
I have the report from the wheel alignment I did a few months ago, so it will be interesting to compare with the new one.

I bought some new mtb shoes and half gloves.

Never watched them before. $40 seemed fair.

Pair of Air Max Terrascape 90 made from sustainable materials

A Samsung 970 M.2 SSD for my PC, will be the second HDD for storage and game installs.

Also Starfield but no pics since I didn't spend that money to get the physical edition...

I almost bought these:

But opted for these

Overall felt the white laces contrasted better with the slightly darker design.

Nice. I bought the England one, not that I think I'll be wearing it for long. We'll struggle to get out of the group. Possibly the worst England side I've ever seen. Completely hopeless. The whole squad needs a rebuild and a whole new coaching team.

South Africa on the other hand are my pick to win the tournament. Efficient, deadly and a joy to watch.

I obviously wanna say we'll win, but I'm also very cautious because I know all eyes will be on us as previous winners (and after smashing NZ last weekend)

There are plenty of strong great teams to watch out this year with France being a big pick in our fantasy league we have going among friends.

But my heart will always be behind the bokke

Or maybe it'll be a repeat of the finals of 2007 and 2019, but this time England actually beat SA..........in my dreams

Went full retard and bought a gaming laptop with some extra expansions.

Found the steam deck lacking performance. but still wanted something somewhat mobile so decided on a gaming laptop and decided to pimp it out while at it as its my main gaming pc at that point.

Features a 8/16 5ghz ryzen zen 3+ cpu, 16gb of ddr5 4800, 8gb v-ram 4060 which is equal towards the desktop part. 1080p screen. It's still a small laptop which is great, will connect it towards the tv like i have my steam deck so all fine for me.

A bit overkill on the upgrades however, laptop was 1150 nice price, but decided to pimp it out.
- Added 4tb SSD 4800 read speeds, and a 2tb SSD with 7000 speeds to max out gen 4 slot for direct storage going further down the line. That's 6TB total, sweet sweet space.
- Went total balls deep on the memory its only 60 bucks more expensive, but eliminates all the memory problems for the future, specially as i have a ton of shit always running on the background so 64gb total.
- Some USB hub, to connect some more stuff if needed.

Total 530 or something on upgrades pretty expensive but then i have something decked out.

4060 doesn't sound like much, but this laptop runs practically anything without effort, specially because of DLSS and framegen. So works for me.

Nice! I just customised some Vans with an estimated 5-7 week wait. I know the choice of colours will be incredibly Marmite.

Also got this one a while back to replace my first Elite.

The QA on these are super shoddy so I hope you (and me) lucked out in that lottery.

Finally replaced all the toilet seats in the house, with bidets. Fuck off toilet paper (okay, some can stay):

Also replaced my decades old Bosch Red Laser Level with a Bosch 360 Green Laser Level. So much easier to see the lines now, in a greater variety of lighting conditions:

And lastly, a Thule Onto Cargo Box to give us more storage space for our trips :

Been saving ages for these items, so it's great not having them live rent free in my head anymore.

In case others are interested into becoming royalty, then this is the model I bought: https://evekare.com/AU/product/smart-bidet-toilet-seat/

Not sure if this is available in the US, but it cost me, when converted from AUD, around 245USD - so it's not an earth-shattering outlay. If it's stocked in the US then I'm assuming it would be even cheaper over there.

I have been debating spending over $500 for a damn blender for so long and Vitamix finally had a sale on one of their best models (albeit refurbished). Still has a 5 year warranty so if something is wrong I can return it. My ninja is servicable but when you try to blend thicker stuff it still struggles. You can make nut butter in this thing I'll def try stuff like that and the smoothness of blending smoothies is allegedy unmatched. A lot of chefs I know give it praise so we'll see.

Yea decided to sell my desktop because i bought a gaming laptop now with a 4080 in it, but i have it hooked up to a TV most of the time, but my tv is like a 8 year old led tv that's total shit for gaming. Got like 700 bucks for my desktop guy bought it directly, and i have some other shit to sell that will go up to 1000+, bought a new tv for that. Need that VRR and good colors and clean motion. the ghosting on this screen is horrendes.

New month, new books!

I know which books are next for you...more in the Rama series. You cannot just read one of those if you're Sci-Fi reader.

If you like those by Clarke, try this -

Then you'll fall in love with Baxter's hard sci-fi writing and you should then read this -

VIP CONCERT IN MEXICO OF HATSUNE MIKU XDDD (WILL BE THE FIRST TIME OF THIS KIND OF CONCERT)

 

[CYRU5_DA_GR34T]

Praise consumerism!
Let's post this thread all the interesting things we have recently purchased.

Here some basic guidelines:

• Everything goes, from a House, Japanese candies, classic muscle car, latest iPhone, boutique kitchenware or some obscure craft beer from your area - you get the idea
• Always post the price
• If possible also post a picture (a pic from google is ok but posting your own picture is more interesting and engaging)
• It does not matter if the purchase is a brand new item or used from your local flee market
• Do not post everyday stuff like basic groceries
• Do not shame users for paying scalper prices
• Do not shame or belittle users for their purchases
• Discussion and questions about purchased goods and services is welcome

Picked up The Binding of Isaac Ultimate something something on steam last night.
It was on special for $1.24 and I had $2 bucks in my wallet and though, what the heck, heard it's a classic
