I mean, I bought one 5 years ago for $30 and it still works fine. I have fanny packs as well but it serves a differe t purpose. $6 / year is well worth it to me.

I bought a brother printer 13 years ago that still goes strong. Toner replacement is like ... $15 off brand? If I even have to replace it. I can't remember when I last bought replacement toner.

When my sister went off to grad school my going away present was an updated version of the same printer. A year later she said it was the most thoughtful gift anyone gave her.

Also, you can tell YT to never recommend a channel. It's permanent (can't undo) but well worth the use.

Garmin if you want a watch that receives notifications and can do basic replies. Anything else if you want a mini phone.

Spoken from an ex Pebble user here that's been rocking a Garmin 245 since 2020. Finally now starting to get a bit meh in the battery department and I will probably upgrade maybe next year to another Garmin?

My first time playing World of Warcraft I wanted to make a fire mage. I wanted the name to sound cool and mystic. My younger self went and kept trying various combinations of words that would imply I was a fire mage. Gotta have the word fire in it, right? What other fantasy sounding prefix can I add to it? Kha sounds cool and mage-y.

Khafire. Way too close to that word and I didn't realize it till weeks later.
