Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.

    Onewheel pint off FB marketplace for $300.

    Showed up, turned it on and the light came on without any issues and the tire was deflated (neglected for a few years bc the guy bought a new one. Also the guy was a dad who died, so his son was selling it.) I assumed it worked. Got home, tried to start it, and I bonked the pavement with the front. Apparently the sensor was broken and it costed $150 to replace.

    is it worth it? for 300, yes 100%. for 500… ehhhhh.

    edit: also thinking of starting a sub about onewheels

    Ninja DCT401 12-in-1 Double Oven on Boxing Day. Worth every penny. Rarely using the full sized oven now. Uses a lot less power due to not having to heat as much air volume.

    Bought trackball mouse

    trackball mouse

    My workflow is not as fast as before but it is so much more comfortable, definitely worth it.

        Ah yeah, there no real place to rest the thumb, but since I use my keyboard like 80% of the time it does not matter too much.

      I’ve been using trackballs for 25 years. What do you think of the M575? I’ve got a fleet of old and tired M570s that will need replacement soon.

    Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.

    It’s nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.

    DJI Mic Mini that arrives today to pair with action camera and cycling.

    I probably won’t get a ton of use out of it, but any time I try to capture my rides just for family to see what I’m up to, it’s all just wind noise.

    I bought a pint for an acquaintance at my philosophy discussion group because he was moving away and this was his last session. I’m pretty poor at the moment, so even a small purchase like this was a lot. It was definitely worth it though, because it convinced him to stay for a while longer than he would have (the group session is held upstairs in a pub, but afterwards there’s usually informal discussions that continue downstairs in the main pub).

    It felt very much like I was performing human socialisation in a deliberate, but nice way. I already told the dude that I would miss his presence at the group, but buying a farewell drink for him was a way of reiterating that sentiment.

    CD player and I went on a spree buying a bunch of CDs on ebay while waiting for the player to arrive. Music I had when I was younger.

    Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260. Stuck Linux mint on it (because I’m a Linux noob). £170, cheap.

    It’s pretty great. I just wish I could get a consistent touchscreen experience because I like to fold the keyboard back and use it like a tablet in bed. It works like a charm on Firefox, but outside of that, the touchscreen is hit or miss. I just want it to work like an iPad or Android tablet in terms of navigation (swipes, long presses, etc.)

    Overall though I’m pretty happy with it. Excellent for torrenting and file management and mostly lightweight shit.

        I’ve actually already tried Gnome, which definitely works the best with touch. It seems to lack the amount of system settings that the standard cinnamon DE has though.

          Sure, default GNOME is pretty barebones, most people use GNOME Tweaks as well for additional settings and some amount of extensions depending on your workflow.

          In principle, i would have prefered that this was all built in, but practically, it works really well, for me at least.

    A small 8 inch laptop that can fit in my everyday bag. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.
    It’s my usual birthday purchase impulse, the one time I allow myself to splurge for something for no other reason than “I want” :)

    I hope to use it to wean myself off of phone apps and have something that is more under my control while I’m outside.
