Purple bed. Super expensive but the most comfortable sleep I've ever had. Prior, I've spent way more on high-end pillow tops, but they eventually get lumpy. I've had a Purple 2 King matress for 6 years, and it's as good as day one. My #1 purchase ever, period. Sleeps cool and preasure perfectly. Makes me sad when friends ask for bed recommendations, and then they get the Costco bed in a box. Had a couple of them complain, and I just shrug. Might sound like an advertisement, but I 100% love this bed. But of a pain to change the protector since the King matress weighs over 200 pounds

Iโve been thinking of buying one. Did you try it before butting or just buy it? A good bed is worth the money
Custom molded earplugs. As a musician and photographer who shoots bands, I can't imagine NOT having them.
That is some complex assassination backstory you have there. What do you even have against music?
Music nothing most likely.
Not wanting to have massive tinnitus. Most likely the reason. Protect the ears.
Do you actually get tinnitus from gunshots?
My IKEA 100cm blahaj for 30โฌ. Now I don't feel as lonely every night.
I bought a nice sandwich last week

SAN SERO Vented Microwave Cover. I was just thinking about this the other day. I've owned this thing for over 9 years and use it nearly every day. At the time I think I paid like $20 for it (it's $34 now). And I thought that might be silly for what is basically a piece of plastic.
But holy crap, it's got to be my highest value-to-dollar ratio item EVER.
With it, I hardly ever have to clean my microwave. It keeps splatters to the cover itself, which is trivial to wash out.
And it helps with energy efficiency too, keeping heat close to the food, instead of it being lost as waste heat.
It comes with tiny vent holes at the top, so it won't steam up much or pop off.
And it has a nice handle built into the top middle of it, so most of the time you can grab that without burning yourself.
It also fits perfectly onto your typical round dinner plate. I mean perfectly.
This thing has been with me through four different homes/house moves, and hundreds of times of cooking or re-heating items on bowls and plates.
It's easily the best thing I've bought in my life.
Am I getting this right, you paid 20 USD for a plastic cover for plates in the microwave? I mean, yes, you should have one to avoid splatters, but I once upgraded from a 2 USD one to a 5 USD one due to better usability, I can't imagine paying 20 USD for it
Vasectomy. Before I got my vasectomy, I had a lot of anxiety that the condom might fail and an unwanted pregnancy would occur. That's not to say vasectomies can't fail, they can, even years afterwards, recanalization can happen so I get tested every year.
Annual failure rate of condom (average use) is 18%, and with perfect use it's 2%. This means that over a span of 20 years, even with perfect use, there is a 33% chance for a pregnancy which is too high for me. A vasectomy with annual testing of sperm count is as close to zero as possible.
Is the annual test really necessary?
Most people don't do it, but it's mostly for my peace of mind.
Got my procedure scheduled in two weeks, so I am hoping it's a one and done thing
If you want to be 100% Sure then yes.
Most people are fine with being 98% sure though.
Okay, thanks.
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.
Never heard of Clevo. Will check it out thanks
Look at novacustom if you live in the EU! configurelaptop.eu
Good knives. Well worth it.
I wish I had more upvotes. Good knives make cooking easy and, more important, prevent injuries.
I bought some knife set that cost like 1000 dollars. It was an impulsive buy when I won an award at work.
Damn I learned expensive knives are worth every penny. Iโve had them twenty years. Normally Iโd buy a knife and have to throw it away after a couple of years because they couldnโt be sharpened as they were cheap.
I cook every day and it makes it so much easier.
I bought a really nice Benchmade pocket knife. I like the way it opens Amazon packages
For anyone reading this, do not "get into" pocket knives. You'll not know what to do with all the damn knives!
same goes for flashlights. you won't stop even if you already own 15 D4V2s (excluding those you already gifted to friends and family ofc)
