Ordered myself a $30 Santoku knife. Don't feel too bad about it but I definitely could make due with my cheapo cuisinart knife block.

A Roland FP-30 Piano Keyboard. I want to go with a better one, but I can't justify the price.

4/10 bullshit.

I very suddenly got the urge to get into amateur astronomy, so I've been trying to fine some budget-friendly telescopes (that aren't garbage). From what I can tell, it seems both Celestron and Orion make great telescopes for beginners even if they're on the more pricey end of things. I'm currently looking at the Orion AstroBlast 4.5 Reflector Telescope ($249.99):

I ended up buying an e-bike. Actually quite happy with it now as it's getting me out a lot more And will possibly used for commuting to work occasionally when I am unfurloughed.

I'm going to get an apple watch soon, because I'm a lazy fuck that wants to call people with my wrist instead of reaching for my phone when I'm at work.

There's something deeply wrong with me.

iPad Pro 2020, mostly because the RAM upgrades and more "future proof" that my 2017 10.5 current model, I'm using it more that my Laptop and my PC, so I think it can be a 2.5-3/5 bullshit for me
A new smartphone, I wanted the Pixel 4 XL, but I need the money more for the University, I'm waiting for the Pixel 4a or to get a good deal on a iPhone 11, depending of what I could get it goes from 3 to 4/5 bullshit
An AMD GPU, this is 5/5 bullshit because the Hackintosh are going to die, and I already have a good GPU, so I really don't need that.

Either a 55 or 65 inch OLED tv. Need to do more research, and wanna spend up to 2k.

does anyone think the prices will come down closer to the holiday season (next gen systems)?

my current tv is a 55 regular ass 8 year old Vizio. It's a beast but I wanna be ready for next gen systems.

My fiancé bought me the WH-1000 XM3 as a 6 month old birthday present. She also got me a tripod for my phone.

I got her the WF-1000 XM3s as a graduation gift, and an FS800 as a birthday present.

TubShroom kit that has the sink versions as well because I'm sick of people leaving the drain catcher upside down with food around it. Also because my TubShroom is old and mildew-like.

I need a new laptop as mine is starting to have issues, and what to go and get a Macbook Air, because I just really love Apple products, but I also realize it's way overpriced even with the recently 'reduction' in price, and lacks things I would use frequently such as a USB and DVD drive, meaning I'd have to spend even more on accessories. It'd probably be like a total 9/10 on the bullshit meter lol. Probably just end getting another cheap laptop and run it into the ground in like five years.

I just bought one of these and it's fucking awesome.

We live in a small apartment and my wife's computer takes up the computer desk. My only option was to use my computer on our TV trays, but that was hurting my back since I had to lean forward.

This lets me use my computer in a way that's much more comfortable.

I actually need this a lot. Glad you posted it lol

I've resorted to buying refurbished computers the past few years and I'm super happy with that approach. I just bought a refurbished Thinkpad P50 (these specs, upgraded the RAM (8GB to 32GB) and 500GB HDD to 1TB M.2 NVME SSD) last month for $500 and it's still a better computer then anything else I'd find in that price range.

Glad I could help you with that lap desk. It's really a nice product and suits my needs perfectly.

A $200 pair of sneakers.

That would be the most expensive pair of sneakers I ever bought. In the middle of a pandemic crisis.

I have perfectly adequate shoes right now, I'm not in need of another pair.

Straight up bullshit level of 10/10.

I don't know why I can't stop thinking about buying them.

Actually, I just really like the way they look.

don't leave me hanging, what do you have your eyes on?

Considering an LG CX 65" OLED. Would need to upgrade my receiver to something 4K-capable, so probably a Denon S750H to go with it.

I have a 55" Sony 1080p LCD that works fine and a Denon AVR-1610 that's in good order as well. Dropping nearly 3 grand on upgrades is totally unnecessary, but still tempting.

I've been toying with finally splurging on my first digital Leica since the M10M was announced... but with COVID closing their factories and the company having a looooong history of gradually increasing the prices of their products by considerable amounts, I'm feeling more heavily inclined to pull the trigger before it becomes more expensive.

I tell myself it would become my primary walk-around camera 95% of the time, pretty much replacing my entire Fuji kit. But I'm not a good enough photographer to justify it, nor do I get paid for my work to offset the cost. It's a totally frivolous want - but also a grail that would satisfy a life-long goal. I'll either continue lusting for another year or two or one night I'll drink too much and say screw it... who knows.

A resin 3D printer! I was going to get the Elegoo Mars Pro but since the virus thing hit it hasn't come back to stock. I may wait now and spend more for one of the new ones coming with larger print volumes though.

Forgot I posted this. Two weeks ago I was able to get in on the second batch of pre-orders for the Elegoo Saturn! Slightly more expensive than the Mars Pro but the larger print area and monochrome screen make it so worth it. Delivery is to be in September!
Next BS buy may be a Creality CR-6 and an Ender Extender kit for my 3. A farther down the line purchase may be a Model 3 Performance.

Picked up an Apple Watch Series 5 today since my Series 1 broke a couple months ago and I've gained 15 pounds. It really does motivate me to be active.
